The landlords Lament,

The usually alert and cheerful land
lord of hotel in small town had a
scowl on his face as he looked ont of
the corner of his eye at one of his
regular boarders who was whistling
joyously as he went up the stairs. AS
the boarder disappeared the landlord
turned to the men standing near.
There was never but one guest at
this here hotel that stung me while I
was on the job" he confided. Several

I? Wait till tell you.

RuIow's Wonderful Memory.

Bulow had a wonderful memory, as
was evidenced by his astonishing feat
of memorizing Kiers concerto, which
the man who wrote it could not accom-
pany without notes. His accuracy was
almost infallible He was once rehears-
ing composition of LISTS for orches-
ira in that composers presence without
notes. List interrupted to say that a
certain note should have been played
piano. No. replied Bulow; sit is
sforzando." Look and see,' persisted
the composer. The score was pro-
duced. Bulow was right How every
body did applaud! In the excitement
one Of the brass wind players lost his
place. Look for a fat in your part"

Eat Them as Indians Do if You Like

Nobody but an Indian knows how to
eat a prickly pear. The fruit grows
on the edge of thick green leaf and
bristles with myriads of closely set
thorns, sharp as needles and fine as
hairs. Though they cannot be seen
with the naked eye, they can certainly
be felt, as any one who has tried the
usual method Of picking them with a
pocket handkerchief can testify. The
fine thorns penetrate the fingers. and
the flesh swells, testers. becomes in

velops into serious case Of blood
poisoning.
When an Indian wants to eat it he
cuts a small stick, sharpens it and
thrusts the point into the ripe fruit.
Slicing off the pear with a sharp knife
and holding it on the stick, he peels it.
taking care to avoid touching the rind
with his fingers. He drops the peel on
the ground to the bitter sorrow of any
barefoot boy who happens to step
ON it.
