An Aerial hoho,s Diary.

Oct Z, 2909-On the bum again.
Beat it out last night under the right
forward wing of the second coach of
the Oversky Limited, but the crew got
hep and ditched me here on this out
of-the-way star. Not even station
here, and it looks like nothing will
ever stop. Everything was lovely too,
as the chorus girls say, till the panic
hit Saturn. The employees Of the
Radium Works were the first to go.
Just my luck to be working there too
Wonder what the chances are for a
handout on this star. Oct. S-Great
luck. Fell in with a pal, ard we had
a cook-up together We were just
done feasting at the expense of the
country when the first section of a
fast aeroplane hog train was laid up
here with hot box. The shacks let
us ride when We agreed to help them
feed the hogs oxygen twice day.

Letter of a Eastidious Pauper.

Much amusement was caused at the
meeting of the Amesbury Guardians
by the reading of the following letter
from former inmate of the work
house who wished to return to the in.
stitution subject to the conditions
stated: 81 desire to have a ward to
myself, to sleep and take my meals
in, with the liberty of walking in the
yard and in the gardens and sitting in
the day room when think fit to take
my breakfast in bed; to be allowed IL
O'Clock lunch-bread and cheese and
ale; to see my husband every day;
to be exempted from taking a bath
only when quite necessary, and on
a day when the weather is favorable;
and not to be compelled to do any
work whatever" The guardians de-
cided that the workhouse was not the
proper public institution for the writ
er of this letter.-London Standard.

Where Inspiration Sits.

Mrs. Quilluser came tiptoeing soft
ly into her husbands study, rested a
hand lightly on his shoulder and
peered over at the sheaf Of half-writ-
ten sheets on his desk.
What are you Working on now,
dearest?r. she asked gently.
ION Mary's mittens," he answered
pleasantly, but without looking up.
Mrs. Quilluser studied a moment,
as if planning. Dearest, Willie needs
pair of shoes more than Mary does
the mittens. | have already promised
them to the poor boy. Hadn't you bet
ter work on Willies shoes first, dear?"
"All right, Nellie. all right" he re-
piled kindly, turning his eyes up into
Nellie's great patient ones.
Then he pushed back "An Ode to
the Dancing Leaves" and cheerfully
began to write a Sunday special on
"a New Substitute for Coal."-Puck.

way to a place in the peerage. Apro-
pos of this il is interesting TO note
that Frank Kossuth, the son Of the
famous patriot, charged the Hun
garian government with receiving no
less than $1,450,000 by selling bar
onies.
Another phase of this traffic in
titles is revealed by carefully worded
advertisements which have appeared
Ia London papers from time TO time,
Offering for sale the titles OF impov-
erished noble families of France. 1t
is not so long ago since three titles,
two OF which were French-one a
count and the other a marqueso, re-
spectively, and ole OF an Austrian
prince-were put up for saiel in Lon
don, the prices ranging from 100000
to 100000.

Ashes of Cigar Fortified.

William Jack of Terry s. D.. is the
owner of a cigar which In its way Is
something of curiosity. On Septem-
Der 13 of last year he smoked the
cigar, smoking it so closely that he
was unable to hold it longer without
burning his fingers. a glance showed
him that the ashes were still Oh the
cigar, none of the ash having been dis
lodged, and in this condition he laid
it on a shelf. To-day the cigar is in
exactly the same condition, and no
amount of handling has divorced the
ashes from the stub. To all intents
and purposes the stub and ashes have
become petrified.

TITLES ON BARGAIN TABLE.
Something on the Commercial Side

Something on the Commercial Side
of Aristocratic AfFixes Abroad.
Although foreign countries do not
openly advertise their READINGS TO do
business with those who aspire to
affix handle 10 their names, the
fact is generally recognized that a
considerable traffic in titles is car
ried on, says Stray Stories.
The tiny republic of San Marino
which does roaring trade in titles
of nobility at fixed rates. .devotes a
greater part of the profits TO the
maintenance of its founding and or
phan asylum. 1t will make you and
all your heirs or only your heirs
male, if such is your desire, duke
for $1,000, or an earl for $3.50.
An idea OF the traffic done in titles
may be gathered from the fact that
a German firm trading in Sweden
sends out circular, marked "Pri-
vate and Confidential Offering to Sc
cure any orders and decorations re-

The orders OF ST. George vary in
price in different countries. In SICILY
il costs 1915. and in Bavaria more
than twice as much, but you may
become a knight of Montenegro for
as little as SIS.
The King of Greece does rather a
prosperous business with the Order
of the Redeemer, which can be had
for $3.50, while Servia bestows the
Order of Takova for like sum. The
Prince of Monaco has for disposal the
Order of the Star. for which he asks

POLYGAMY IN TURKEY.
An English Authoress Who Regards
Il as Good Thing.

II as Good Thing.
That polygamy is really COM
mendable institution for Turkey, and
that il might even be adopted with
profit in England. was the rather
startling declaration recently of Miss
Grace Ellison. well-known English
writer, who has Just returned from
stantinople.
ut is far better" she said, ITO
have four women supported and pro-
tected than to have one well cared
for and three sent out to struggle
and starve under present conditions.
Either put us in harems or give us
freedom and equality with men. Eng
land condemns polygamy without
stopping to consider It's advantages
for womanhood, While on the other
hand she turns women adrift in the
world and closes to them all the
professions and trades she can. In
other words, the 1nglishman won't
support more than one female, and
he won't help others to support
themselves. Only the other day |
met a woman of So, the old maid
daughter of country parson, semi
invalid, untitled for work. She hadn't
a single soul in the world who was
disposed to support or even material
ly aid her Such a thing could not
happen in Turkey, which we think
so benighted A man supports all
female relatives L necessary, as well
as his wives"
