Easier to Remember.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher had
a rather defective memory at times.
When he was making the
ments for the coming week one Sun
day he wanted to intimate that he
would not be the preacher on the fol-
lowing Sunday and that the pulpit
would be occupied by his son-in-law,
the Rev. Samuel Scoville, but at the
last moment his memory went astray.
I'm addition to the notices just read"
he announced, II desire to say that I
shall not be preaching here next Sab
bath, and the pulpit will be occupied
by-by-the pulpit will be occupied by
-by-by-by"-
After he had stammered for a few
seconds he tried again. II shall not
be here next Sabbath, and the preach
er will be-will be-be'- Here he broke
off with a touch of exasperation:
why, ] know him quite well. You
all know him. He married my daugh-
ter. Oh. l remember!!" And he pro-
ceeded gravely, "sam will preach here

Eccentric viii Of the Famous Dutch
Smoker, Won kIaes.
In Holland Of the Dutch" Demet-
RUS Boulger tells the story Of the ;fa-
nous Van Klaes Of Rotterdam, who
was known al Gather Great Pipe"
Van Klaes smoked about half a
pound OF tobacco a day and to save
himself trouble used an enormous pipe,
hence his nickname. He built a man
sion in Rotterdam, with a fortune
amassed In the Indies, and turned it
into a museum for pipes and antique
instruments used by primitive nan for
burning hemp or weeds long before the
discovery Of tobacco. No nan who
visited his curios went away without
a gift of choice cigars. He lived to be
ninety-eight and made, while smok-
ing, an eccentric will, which began by
inviting all smokersIin the country to
his funeral.
Each person who attended was to
receive ten pounds Of tobacco and two
pipes bearing the name of the donor,
his arms and the date Of his death,
but he imposed the condition that they
should smoke without interruption dur
ing the funeral ceremony. Finally his
coffin was to be lined with the wood
Of his old cigar boxes. and beside
him were to be placed his favorite
pipe. a supply Of tobacco and a box
Of matches. for. as the will senten-
tiously sets forth. no one knows what
may happen.

HOW TO CARE FOR TIRE.
Timely Hints Which Are Likely to
Prove Money Savers.

- + .- 49,
Remember that new tire carried on
the side of the car, If not protected
from the sunlight, will quickly oxidize.
crack and become quite worthless.
A new tire should preferably be put
into service a little while until the
cover has been soiled. 1T will then
not deteriorate near so quickly. 1t is
better, however. to have a cover for
/ extra tires.
l. Do not store them away in a warm
place for any great length Of time.
Light or heat will cause the sulphur to
come to the surface and make the
cover minutely porous. After this oxi-
Edation takes place the nerve fiber Of
the rubber is destroyed. and naturally
the durability is greatly impaired.
A dark, dry room at a temperature
of 40 to 80 degrees is most favorable
for retarding chemical action in the
rubber and the friction stock on the
fabric layers.

wHIsTLER's ODD WAYS.
A Portrait That Was SIashed az Soon
as 1t Mas Painted.

sex. -T~- 49,
Lord Redesdale once gave a descrip-
ton Of Whistler's methods to a meet
ing in London in support of a memo
rial to the great artist. The eccentric
master was painting, he said, a por.
trait Of lady.
Whistler took up (his position at one
end of the room with his sitter and
the canvas at the other end. For a
long time he stood looking at his
model. holding in his hand a huge
brush full of color, such a brush as q
man would use to whitewash a house.
Then he rushed forward and smashed
the brush full of color into the canvas.
Then he ran back, and forty or fifty
times he repeated this. At the end of
that time there stood out on the IAN
vas a space which exactly indicated
the figure, the form and the expression
Of the sitter.
There was a pathetic story attached
to the picture. The bailiffs were in the
house when the picture was finished.
That was quite a common occurrence.
and Whistler only laughed, but he
went around his studio with a. knife
and deliberately destroyed all his can
vases. INCLUDING thls picture, which
was to have been his Uord Redes-
dale's).-Dundee Advertiser.

Sarcastic StanIeyl

The antipathy which DR.. Johnson
bore to Scotland YVES not singular or
unprecedented. Lord Stanley came
plainly dressed to request a private
audience with King James I. A gayly

hearing an alteration between the
two, came out and inquired the cause:

"Oh, no, my liege.' replied Lord
Stanley; "infllct a severer punishment.

OLD SHIPS.

~ wharves that droop to voicelesl
tides
The faded ships remain.
~ On creaking spars the north wind
rides
And weeps the winter rain.
Gray, battered veterans Of the sea,
They swing with listless sway,
Aroused no more by storm winds glee
Or upward splashing spray.
But in the night when all the din
OF life around is still
Their voices rise In accents thin,
High with the old glad thrill.
They dream Of b%illowing, bellied sail,
OF whitecaps' gay salute, >,.
OF faroff comrades CHEEKY hail.
OF seagulls raucous boot,
OF voyage far, when wind and wave
Called gently from the sea;
OF mates who in a gloomy grave
Shall sleep eternally.
Beside the wharves they strain and swing
Gray dreamers Of the tide:
No. more to e the breakers sing
Or brave the sea wastes wide.

Her Oniy Thouuht.

The late Duke Of Sutherland, who
was the largest landowner in Europe.
had at Dunrobin castle a small private

There is a little story that illustrates
the reverence in which his highland

He was driving his little train one
afternoon when he ran down an old
