Miss Milford is so thoroughly

not very necessary for her to make
much of campaign. Nevertheless,

A man had borrowed some money
from friend and refused to give it
up. There had been no witnesses to
the transaction. When the lender
sued, the borrower took advantage of
his constitutional rights of not testi-
flying against himself, with the result
that the lender could not recover.
When they met on the street some
time later the lender ran up to the
borrower and shouted: I've got four

ractfuI French Prince.

One hundred years ago the Count
D'Artois, youngest brother of the un-
fortunate Louis XVI, arrived in Paris
to makef the necessary preparations
for the return of the Bourbons and
their restoration to the throne. The
choice of Count D'Artois as an ennis
sary on this occasion was prudent
one, for he was perhaps the most
generally liked of all the members of
the exiled royal family of France.
Upon his arrival in the capital of his
ancestors, the crowds in the streets
greeted him with demonstrations of
good will The count was visibly
touched by. the warmth of his greet
ing. Though worn and tired by his
long journey, he declared to the depu-
tation that came out to welcome him,

BETTER THAN TOWN CLOCK
Musicians Punctuality Utilized by
Cabman to Assure the Correct
Timing of His Watch.

The average person is so indolent
that 1t is refreshing to read the fol-
lowing anecdote of a man who was
noted for punctuality:
When Rossini, the Italian composer,
was director of the Theatre Italien in
Paris he used to attend the rehearsals
every morning. Precisely as the clock
struck nine he came out of his house
and hailed the nearest cab. Eventu-
ally certain cabman noticed it and
was at the masters door each morn
ing. AS soon as Rossini entered the
cab the driver would look at his watch
and then drive off at a good pace.
This proceeding was repeated every
day. Rossini often wondered whether
the driver looked at his watch to see
how much time he had to get to the
theater.
Finally one day ne said, my friend,
why do you always look at your watch
as soon as | enter your cab?"
"Monsieus will pardon me- replied
the cabman, laughing, but l do it to
see whether my watch is right

For the we'll man, or woman, diet
etic knowledge is primarily question
of dollars and cents, but for the
poor man. particularly with family
of growing children, this aspect Of
the case may have very powerful
effect upon health. AS DR.. Graham
Lusk has very well said, the laboring
mans efficiency depends upon his
stocking, and every man, or his wife,
should be competent fireman at this
sort of stocking. No one, for example,
having trouble to make both ends meet
should spend money for can of to-
matoes, or any one of dozens of 9th
err so-called foods, which have, COM
paratively speaking, no food value
whatever. 1t is ordinarily estimated
that a Woodworking man requires
about 5000 calories per day, an office
man about $500.
