Why He Objected.

A parson and leading parishioner
were not on good terms. and there
was much speculation In the village
as to the reason.
ITS all on account of parson re-
fusing to christen masters youngest
child" the housemaid confided to her
friend of the busting brush at the
house across the way. Master want
ed her to be named Dora Ruby Inez
North Kathleen, but the parson
wouldn't do It."
1T was like parsons cheek" replied
her friend. even If he was asked to
give the child hundred names"
"Oh, 1t wasn't the number of names
which bothered him" returned the
servant He objected to the initials
that's all. You see, masters name is
Beer, and the girls initials are d. r.
|. N. K, and parson declined to be a
party to her having to sign herself
when she grows up, Drink Beer. -

Anecdotes.

Speaking of humorists brings us to
the fact that no man living can look
quite so solemn when producing hui
more as Irwin s. Cobb, the we'll known
comedian of the Saturday Evening
Post. When Cobb was on the staff
of one of the big New York newspa-
pers he did various news assignments,
some of them mighty serious and 9th
ers that gave him chance for com
edy. 1t was standing joke about
the Office that anybody could look at
Cobb as he bent over his typewriter
and tell which kind of yarn he was
writing II his face was all wrinkled
up with solemnity like bloodhound's 5,
with sad look about the eyes such
as one rarely sees except in an under
takers hostler, Cobb was preparing
something that would make hosts of
people laugh.

Cottages.

Cottage accommodation" in the
sense In which Mr.. Runchiman's bill
deals with 1t, is phase that would
hardly be understood in the United
States. Professors Greehough and
Kittredge of Harvard, in their book
on the ways of English words, points
out that cottage" In the strict sense
of a laborer's dwelling, has never been
adopted into popular American use,
because America has never really had
the thing. The word over there has
always had literary and sentimental
associations, and finally has come to
be used for the most magnificent sum-
mer residences. This has gone much
farther than the use Of the word in
England to mean villa. In Amer
lea 'cottager" definitely signifies a
person who is above staying at a
boarding house or hotel, and has his
own summer home.-London Chroni-
Gle.

New Conundrum.

Here is a conundrum which your
greatgrandfathers asked each other
when they were little boys:
How many legs has dog If you
call his tail leg?'
"Five!" shouted the little great
granddad Of Mr.. A.
Wrong" corrected the diminutive
greatgranddad of Mr.. B. Because
calling his tail a leg doesn't make 1t a
leg"
/ am reminded of this venerable
brain twister of youth by the follow
ing lines in the Clayton anti-business
bill:
The District of Columbia shall be
deemed a state within the meaning of
this law"
So / shall modernize that ancient
query by propounding the following
How many states In the United States
if you call the District of Columbia a
state?" - Girard, In Philadelphia

Huzzard Carries or DOG.

Eagles are said to be game enough
and strong enough to carry off almost
anything from a man to cat, but
the first instance known when buzz
card carried off dog was witnessed
ION recent afternoon. The incident
happened few miles from Bessemer.
A very brave little fox terrier was
endeavoring to chase off large buzz
card that had alighted on the ground.
He only succeeded in making the
buzzard fly close to the ground for a
short distance. The buzzard stopped
on a short stump and waited for the
dog, which came barking around the
root Of the stump.
The buzzard, seeing his chance,
jumped from the stump seized the
dog in its mouth and claws, and flew
to thicket near by.--Birmingham

ROSE AT PRESENT IN FAVOR
Fashionable New York Women Wear
That Flower Until the Chrysan-
themum Appears.

Fifth avenue and Riverside drive
are one In favor of the rose on the
shoulder as feminine conceit. It's
the new fall style. The rose may be
a teeny-weeny bud for buds and a
full-blown flower for girls who have
made their debuts. The fashion pro-
vides that the flower shall be pinned
a trifle forward of the top of the
right shoulder The color scheme Is
left in individual taste, although the
pale pink tint has been adopted along
the avenue.
Later on, when the chrysanthe-
NUNS are in bloom, it will be entire
ly proper to fasten massive bloom
in the proper anatomical zone. Shout
der buds can be bought at all florists.
Artificial buds will do.-New York

Adjournment Of slippers.

Crescent-shaped buckles, studded
with rhinestones and imitation
sapphires or other stones, are worn at
the side of dress slippers as finish
to the narrow instep strap. They are
very dainty and attractive. Another
new slipper adornment is the rhine
stone stud, formed of single large
rhinestone and worn In the front vamp
as near as possible to the top. The
stud looks particularly well with the
brocade slipper, now so much In vogue

graceful folds.
For novelty in footwear we must
bark back to the sixteenth century,
when the soft, high-heeled shoes worn
by the women we're finished with a
blunt, square toe. The few import

being cut entirely off. They are Meth

WAS VERY MUCH IN EARNEST
Wrecked Train Accompanied by
Terrible Threat.

A fast limited" was bowling over
the sands of Arizona. Just how 1t
happened was frequently explained,
and never understood, but as the train
sped along the side of parched river
1t suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed In three feet of
muddy water at the bottom of the
river bed.
Within the cars there was some
natural confusion. Men, womeE and
lunch boxes were thrown into heap,
and not an umbrella or a parcel was
left In the racks.
One by one the occupants of the
rear car extricated themselves from
the mass and sought for means of es-
cape, while stanching various wounds
caused by broken glass, Every exit
was jammed tight. Just then, in the
midst of the doubt and confusion, rose
woman's voice in emphatic demand
Let me outl Let me out If you
don't let me out, I'll break a window"

CoIors to Suit Your Eyes.

Did it ever occur to you that by a
simple matter of dress the color of
your eyes can be perceptibly changed
For instance, blue eyes are deepened
by wearing certain shades of blue.
The writer knows girl whose inno-
cent hazel eyes turn an unmistakable
green when she wears green blouse,
and so far is it from being unbecom-
ing that her friends consider it the
most becoming color.

Korea.

Korea has practically become part
of the Japanese empire. At any rate
the Japanese control In that country
is complete, and the chances are that
that control will never be withdrawn
not, at least, until Russia dominates
the whole Asian mainland, If that
time ever comes. The population of
Korea is 100000 and the area 49,
900 square miles; nearly twice that of
the state of New York.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST.

SD SAYS EMINENT SfESAhhlSAs
So-called stomach troubles. such as
Indigestion, wind, and stomach-ncne are
In probably nine cases out Of ten simply
evidence that fermentation is taking
place in the food contents of the stom-
ach, causing the formation Of gas and
acids Wind distends the stomach, and
causes that full, oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irritates and infamcs the deli
cate lining Of the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely In the fermenting food.
Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid
formation Is not only unnatural, but
NAV involve most serious consequences
II not corrected. To stop or prevent
fermentation of the food contents of
the stomach and to neutralize the acid,
and render 1t bland and harmless. a
teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia,
probably the best and most effective
corrector of acid stomach known, should
be taken in a quarter of q glass of
hot or cold water Immediately after
eating, or whenever wind or acidity Is
felt. This stops the fermentation, and
neutralizes the acidity in a few mo-
ments. Fermentation. wind and acidfty
are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop
or prevent them by the use OF a proper
antacid. such as bisurated magnesia,
which can be obtained from any drug
gist. and thus enable the stomach to
do its work properly without being
hindered by poisonous gas and danger
