OLD CLAY PIPE HIS LEGACY
Old Soldier Had Particular Reason for
valuing Trifle Left Him by
Comrade.

A touching little romance of clay
pipe was told to a London writer by a
tobacconist
It concerned an old gentleman who
had every appearance of an Indian Of
: er, and who one day brought the
tobacconist just about the dirtiest
clay pipe he had ever set eyes on. He
wanted the bowl fitted with raised
cover in gold in the shape of helmet.
on which was to be engraved the
crest and the motto of a certain regi-
ment. The shopkeeper told the gen.
tleman that they would do their best,
but as the bowl was already cracked
it would require careful handling,
and wouldn't stand much pressure.
WELL he replied. III your work
man breaks that bowl he'd better quit
the country at once. for his life won't
be worth days purchase"
Luckily, this weird threat didn't re.
quire to be put into execution, for the
Job was finished without a mishap
whereupon the old gentleman. after
paying the BILL sent for the workman
and gave him present of SIS.
He then condescended to tell the
tobacconist that his reason for at
taching so much value to clay was
that it belonged to an Irish soldier
who had twice saved his life IN q
frontier war. The soldier was BIT
of ne'er-do-well, and never got pro
motion When he died he left his
clay pipe, which was absolutely the
! only thing in the world he could cal
his own. to the general-the tobac
consists customer.

LAWSOF COMMERCE
BY HAROLD CARTER.

1t was a sudden impulse that took
little Miss Dimsey into the private
office of old Adolf Ludwig, proprietor
of the cheap department store in
which she worked. She went in bold
ly, her only encouragement the fact
that old Ludwig knew her, and had
once or twice stopped and spoken to
her in his fatherly way.
Well, Miss Dimsey!" said the old
man, looking up over his spectacles
and beaming at her.
Little Miss Dimsey's well-planned
story broke down, and she broke into
tears. The old man looked gravely
concerned.
Tell me your troubles" he said,
handing her a chair.

Little Miss Dimsey's tears flowed
faster than ever as she thought of pa
tient Jack Livingston, working at $2O
week, and their desperate hope OF
making home for three when he
got $25. She blurted out all about it

Little Miss Dimsey looked at him
with tragic eyes. do you really mean
it," she faltered.
YES" answered old Ludwig.
I'll marry you as soon as you wish
me to- said little Miss Dimsey.
1t was arranged that they should be
married at the registry Office in three
days time, on the morning on which
Ludwig was to sail for Europe Miss
Dmsey and her mother were installed
IN the old mans house. 1t was all like
a marvellous dream, the money, the
clothes, the servants that waited deft-
ly on them with stolid, carven, ex.
pressionless faces.
The desperate letter that had been
written to Jack, telling him Of the
necessary sacrifice. brought him rag
ing to the door. The butler, who had
his orders, refused him admittance.
Not even his vehement threats and Of
fers Of brides could move the man. OF
this. however, Miss Dimsey knew
nothing, nor of the intercepted letter
that Jack had written her.
The day Of the marriage dawned.
Miss Dimsey and her mother awaited
Ludwig at the registry Office.

The boat brought back no Ludwig,

BOrah And Suffrage

ln a letter addressed to Miss Mabe
Vernon, one of the field workers of
the congressional union, Senator w.
4. Borah of Idaho defined bis posi-
tion on the question of woman
suffrage as follows:
1.-The more | study the question of
woman suffrage, the more | h helieye ia
the wisdom of giving won 60 the
right to vote. But / am not In favor
OF the proposed amendment to the
national constitution. 1t is, in my
judgment, inexpedient, Impractical,
unwise and unjust.
In the first place, there is 20
chance OF obtaining the adoption OF
tne proposed amendment by the
states. We could never, or ar least,
within any reasonable nun lber of
years, obtain woman suffrage in this
way. There are from six Leen to
twenty states that would never ratlfy
this amendment SO long as the
fifteenth amendment to the constltu-
tion remains part of that instru-
ment. BY this proposed anne hdment
the women who favor suffrage draw
to their causes the whole race
question, and 1t Is burden which
woman suffrage cannot carry.
"But fnal and conclusive beyond
ell possible change with me is the
proposition that this amendment
strikes at the very foundation pf our
whole scheme of federal union. l
cannot conceive OF anything being
left TO state which has not the
right TO say who within its own
jurisdiction shall vote.
"Ths question of determining the
franchise is peculiarly aud wholly a
state matter"
Commenting on the above The
Editorial, published in the Grange
vile Globe, says 10 part:
"While 1t Is quite true that the
proposed woman suffrage amendment
is 10 no sense to be compared (as to
meriD with the fifteenth amendment,
1t is equally true that Its adoption
would augment the most objection
able feature of the latter by making
voters of the densely ignorant women

The Harrison family, like the Adams

Science Wants II For Standard Meas
ures, But Cannot Find 1t.
The use of melted quartz for the
manufacture of standard measures of
length has been q great disappoint-
mept, since even this material is sub
ject to very marked fluctuations In
length.
The search for suitable material is,
however, being continued, because plat
mum iridium, which has been used up
to the present Is out of the question for
practical purposes on account bf Its
great cost, says the Scientific Ameri-
can.
DR.. Guillaume discovered the alloy,
which has become known under the
name OF ".nvar." an nbbreviatidn for
'invarlable."
The nickel-steel alloy would make an
ideal material for standards Of length
on account Of its great resistance to
changes in temperature, but unfortu-
nately 1t ia not proof against chemical
action. For this reason 1t Is suitable
only for standards of the second grade
in which accuracy within a millionth
part is sufficient
The ideal MATERIAL possessing the ad
vantages of platinumiridium but lesi
expensive than the latter, Is therefore
still to be found. Similarly good mate

Sympathy and Charity.

The "Holier-than-thou" attitude
and lack Of sympathy on the part
Of many worthy folks may be
attributed to provincialism. They
hold themselves superior to others
not as good as they are, because
they have had no experience. They
have never suffered. Therefore
they cannot resist throwing in
lecture with their aims. They
simply are not human, says an
exchange.
A writer in lhe Western Chris
tian Advocate scores this tendency
when he says: zone Of the most
remarkable things about certain
good people is. their severity in
dealing with their fellow men.
Particularly is this true with cer-
tain class of men and women who
lead what may be called protected
lives. They have never known
from actual experience what
poverty, sickness, disaster, or dis
grace mean, but they are almost
devoid of sympathy III dealing
with their neighbors who have had
one or more of these things to deal
with.
ITO give garment and lee
ture together, to pry into the last
detail of family life before giving
charity, to insinuate openly or
covertly that every applicant for
aid is an imposter, to make the
helpless poor feel like criminals
these are the crimes-of which
many good people are guilty.
"Some day, it may be, we will
all be old, and it may be that many
Of us will be poor; SO let US cast a
little bread and sympathy on the
water so that it can come back to
us in case we need it"
After all, as some epigratnmatist
has reminded US, ''there is SO
much bad in the best OF US, and SO
! much good in the worst OF US, that
it i'll becomes the best of us to
8 speak i'll of the worst OF u.s." A
little more charity all around; a
little more milk of human kind
y ness; little more understanding
and sympathy, and the world will
. wag more easily along its orbit.
