She Had the Last Word.

A country doctor in the north of Ire. land. a bachelor. locally noted for his brusqueness and irascibility, was driv. ing along narrow lane, when his pas. sage was effectually barred by an old woman, who was returning from the bog. leading an ass. whose panniers were filled with peat. The woman led the ass to the side of the lane as quickly as she could, but not quick enough to please the short-tempered doctor.
 "Faugh," he exclaimed, women and asses are always in the way!'
 I'm glad ye have the manners to put yourself last" said the woman calmly The doctor drove on withou, further comment

Witty Reply.

Lord Lyons, the ambassador, was not what one would call witty man but there is one good story told of him showing that he could make an apt reply on occasion.
 One of his friends, Augustus Ora ven, was intensely mysterious in man her, and once on meeting him in Lon- don Lord Lyons asked if his wife were with him.
 It happened that Mrs. Craven was staying, with Lady Cowper at Wrest. and Mir. Craven replied in his sol enn, slow mysterious way:
 She is at Wrest."
 "Requiescat in pace," replied Lord Lyons, with equal solemnity.

Full of "Go."


 An acquaintance of a merchant who Is engaged In large business recently recommended an attractive young man who at the time was looking for a clerkship.
 Not long after the merchant met his friend, and was asked by him if the selection of the young man in question had not proved thoroughly wise one. Wiser" exclaimed the merchant. Why. man, haven't you heard what has just happened?"
 I'm terribly sorry if he has turned out badly" said the other. Tt was my firm belief that he would have suited you through and through-he was so full of go."
 Full of go," was the response. q should think he was-far too full of go for me. Why, he's clean gone, and there's a thousand dollars gone, too" :" Never" cried the man who had recommended the bright young clerk. Really. thought he was just the fel- low you were looking for"

CURE DOGS OF EATING EGGS
small Amount of Tartar Emetic Will Break the Habit, According
 to Authority.

When eggs are bringing top rices In the market nothing is more dis. couraging tsan to find, on making the round of the nests that the dog has been there before you. Often this parasite on hennery profits Is a fam fly pet that the owners do not wish to Kill. But as with other pests, remedy lies only with killing or curing. Here is cure which I have used success. fully:
 Buy one dram of tartar emetic- this is poison and should be handled with the greatest of care. Under no circumstances sholud the powder be placed where 1t is accessible to chil. dren.
 Pip small piece out of an eggshell. pour out little of the contents and put about as much of the tartar emetic as will cover the point of small pocket knife into the shell. Paste a small piece of white paper over the broken portion, and place the egg in one of the nests. preferably in a se-
 
 accustomed to pilfer Put it where he can get 1t quickly before the hens have chance to crack the treated egg.
 Having eaten this poison the dog be- comes violently sick and will subse. quently shun eggs. This means of curing the habit. though drastic. is effectual. It will not result in the death of the dog unless an overdose is given
 Some farmers use red pepper in- stead of the tartar emetic, a pinch of pepper concealed in baited egg often being effectual. Throughout the southern states Indian turnips when available are used in the same man ner This Is pungent plant which when eaten, causes the tongue to smart and burn and often to swell George II.

COURTESY ALWAYS AN ASSET
Something That Should Not Be For. gotten Even In the Rapldity of
 Modern Life.

One of the minor virtues is to say thank you" audibly.
 A man surrenders his seat to A woman in crowded car, and of course It Is no more than his chiyal- TIC duty to do so. Nevertheless. he feels mildly resentful when his sacri- nee Is accepted in utter silence, and the beneficiary founces into the va- cant place without so much as a glance at the benefactor.
 Similarly, when one has given a bar Der gratuity amounting to the cost of the tonsorial operation, it Is irri- tatlng to have the honorarium pock- eted as matter of right, and not as gracious concession.
 Walters and porters who are anx- lous to insure the life of the onerous practice of tipping would do we'll to observe that much of the well-defined popular resentment of the custom is que to the unappreciative attitude of the recipient. It is only human na. ture to expect at least a civil acknowI. edgmept when we think we have con- ferred favor, and many man who gives tip regrets 1t when his gen. erosity Is accepted without a word.
 The practical value of courtesy as an actual business asset Is coming to be so generally recognized that the modern employer considers politeness. together with honesty and sobriety, as among the indispensable qualifications Tor one who seeks to enter his service. The brusque, ill-natured employe drives business from the door, even as the deferential one attracts trade and makes friends for the establish ment.--Philadelphia Ledger.

Day of Stately Mlnuet.

We are promised a revival of the stately minuet But consider well the responsibilities of that dance. Thus, for instance, Mir. Austen Leigh on the eighteenth century minuet: Tt was not every one who felt qualified to make this public exhibition, and those ladies who intended to dance minuets used to distinguish themselves by wearing a particular kind of lappet on their headdress. have heard also of another curious proof of the respect in which this dance was held. Gloves immediately clean were considered requisite for Its due performance, while gloves a little soiled were thought good enough for a country dance; and accordingly some prudent ladies provided themselves with two pairs for their several purposes. - London Chronicle.

PRENUPTiAI. SHOWER.

Yesterday afternoon about tweL-
ty five young ladies gathered at the
home of Drucie HIl and surprised
Freda Hill with linen shower. An
interesting and entertaining feature
of the afternoon was a mock we'd
ding. At three O'Clock, to the strains
of Turkey in the Straw" the hrid-
al party, consisting of Mrs. Otto
Christensen as groom, the bride, at
tended by Miss Era Hill as her faith
er, and Miss Bessie HendricksoD as
officiating minister, descended the
stairs. The bride was attired in
white linen skirt, blue waist, drap-
cries of lace curtains and bridal
wreath of pink roses and carried a
bouGuet of red roses. The groom
wore cream colored trousers, high
topped tan shoes, red tie and carried
large blue handkerchief. One in
teresting thing about the minister
was that she wore her fathers we'd
ding coat.
Following the congratulations of
the happy couple. jingling OF
sleigh bells and loud rap was
heard and on opening the door a
large basket Of many pretty and
useful articles was thrust into the
room and gruff voice said, "A
package for Mrs. "Ducky" Drake.
No one responded but Miss Freda
Hill, who took it upon herself to in
vestigate matters.
A program of music and readings
furnished the rest of the entertain
nent of the afternoon. Edna Kesler
presided at the piano, and Bessie
Hendrickson, Mrs. Emm& Hill and
Drucie Hill gave several humorous
readings.
At four-thirty light refreshments
were served by the hostess, assisted
by Miss Eena Hill and Mrs. A. w.
Lockhart. Later all departed, wish
ing the bride-to-be long and hap
ply welded life.

While the members were still seated
at the table, splendid Christmas
letter from Mrs. Bale was read, and
also pleasant Christmas greetings
from Mrs. Eta Welch-Young of
South Raub, Ind.
