LURE OF THE BRIGHT LIGHTS
Uncle Nose Could Not Be Satisfied
While He Felt Himself Out Of
"Public life."

A negro waiter named Nose had
served with a measure of distinction
for several years in a downtown New
York restaurant with a large patron
age among business men. One day
last spring a customer offered him a
good position as servant at his coun-
try home. He was to have a nice uni
form with brass buttons, and the pay
was to be much better than he was
getting. Nose accepted-envied by
his whitecoated associates.
One morning recently Nose turned
up at the restaurant and startled the
proprietor by asking for his old job.
why have you left Mr.. Browns
service?" asked the proprietor. Did
he discharge you? Didn't he treat you
well?"
mo, sir, amt been discharged,
and they certainly did treat me all
right responded Nose promptly.
"Then why in the world come back
here? The pay is less and the work
is harder"
Nose paused, looked vacantly out of
the window for a moment, and with
a broad grin on his face, whispered: Il
wants nah ole job here again, cause
Use got to get back in public life, OATS
ALL"

READY WITH HIS DEFENSE
ouaok's Wits Probably Had Been
sharpened by Many Encounters
Similar 10 This.

No one ever would accuse the LON
don Lancet Of being a humorous pub
LEGATION, but here is a storiette which
appeared in the Lancet and which is
worthy Of reprinting as a smile-get-
ter:
A man who had been sitting on
the damp grass for some hours writ
ing with a lead pencil and frequently
sucking the point thereof while wait
ing for inspiration, eventually felt a
sharp pain in his loins. He limped
to a local quack. After questioning
him as to the onset Of the attack,
the quack simply said ''plumbism."
The man received some yellow pills,
paid the fee and went away. He was
a studious person and searched the
encyclopedia for the meaning Of
"plumbism" and what lead pencils
were made Of. The next day he re-
turned to the quack and said: "You
told me l had 'plumbism,' which is
lead poisoning, and l now find there
is no lead in lead pencils, only graph
ite or plumbago." "Oh," replied the
quack airily, "did l say plumbism is
the cause Of your lumbism? Imeant
to have said lumbago.' CON-" said
the man, "but, anyhow, your pills
are only bread" OF course, Of
course" replied the quack; don't
you know that bread is the oldest and
finest thing to remove pencil marks
with? You didn't want me to give
you india rubber pills, did you:"

BEAUTY IN THE FAR N0RTFB
Magnificent Displays Of Color Wherr-

Nature has provided wonderful dis

traveller in Alaska describes in viyio.
style one of the short-day appearances
of the Arctic sun as follows:
First a greenish glow on the south
ern horizon, Frightening into lemon
and then into clear primrose, invadear
the deep purple of the starry heavens.
Then a beautiful circle Of blush pink
above a circle of pure amethyst gradu-
ally stretches all around the edge OF
the sky, slowly Frightening while the
stars fade out and the heavens change
TO blue.
The dead white mirror OF the SHOW
takes every tint that the skies display
with a faint but exquisite radiance
Then the suns disk appears with g..
food of yellow light, but With no ap-
preciable warmth, and for a little
space his level rays shoot out and gid
the tree tops and the distant hills.
The snow springs to life. Dead
white no longer, its dry, crystalline
particles glitter in myriads of dia-

prism Then the sun is gone, and
the lovely circle of rose pink over
amethyst again stretches round the
horizon, slowly fading until once more

AND DENNY ATE THE EGGS
Though He Did Not Greatly Appre.
eiate Them He Had a Wife Who
Knew the Proper Thing.

An Oak Park family lost a jewel
when their Irish maid, Ellen, was
married a few weeks ago to Denny, a
stalwart teamster. The head Of the
family where Ellen worked, being
somewhat run down, had been taking
each morning for breakfast, on the
doctors orders, two raw eggs in milk.
For many months Ellen had placed
these eggs before him at the table,
Recently she paid a visit to her for
mer mistress and told of the difficult
ties she had had in educating
Denny.
"Oi insisted" she said, con Den
ny's havin' his raw eggs at breakfast
like your husband
"But, Ellen" exclaimed the mis-
tress, "a great, big, husky fellow like
Denny ought not to need raw eggs"
"Sure, an he told me ,hat himself,
but | made him eat them. Ellen, he
said, why do We be giving me these
eggs? Don't | be eatin' dish of oat-
meal and a beefstcak. besides four
fried eggs for breakfast? Why
should l be stuflin' myself with these
raw ones?'
~|Sure, an its an ignorant man
We are l told him. All the gentle
men do be eatin' them these days.

SHOWS. HER TRUE CHARACTER
FloorwaIker Has Observed That Wom-
an on Shopping Expedition Re-

Someone has said that you can al

the manner In which he amuses him

fioorwalker in one of the largest de-
partment stores in the country has
convinced me that you can always
Judge a woman by the way in which
she shops-which, after all, is only an
other way of saying the manner in
which she amuses herself
have learned to realize that when
the average woman goes on a shop
ping expedition-when she has taken
up the trail Of the bargain, determined
to track it to its native counter-she
brings all her cleverness into play, and
in the zest of the chase she is certain
to reveal her true self and uncon-
sciously drop the mask she wears on
most social occasions.
Always on the alert, always eager
to bring down the game, big or little,
with timely purchase, these shoppers
you will see browsing about the coun-
tiers in and out of season. You will
see them questioning the salesgirls,
trying to learn in advance when re-
auctions are to be made. You will see
them pick out some article and then
come in day after day and watch it's
price tag. Then when the price is low
cred to the point where they think it
is a bargain, you will see them pounce
on it and carry it home.-Woman's
