Good Reason for Proprietor's Indiana.
ton When His Proud Chef
Was Insulted.

1t was at seaside hotel and as
three or four of us were walking
along the beach at low tide and pick
ing up shells we came across a col
ored man who was walking with a
cane and strut and had the bearing
of car He gave us no notice, but
one of our crowd ventured to ask him:
Sir, do you own the earth?"
The man made no reply.
Excuse me, sir" continued the
questioner, but have the rest of us
your permission to live out the sum-
mer?"
The car never winked an eye in
reply but continued his parade, and
we passed on and left him. When we
returned to the hotel we were Joined
by the landlord, and he was asked IL
he knew the colored man, and how
much of North America he really
owned.
Good heavens, but you don't tell
me that you have been making fun of
that mani" he exclaimed in reply.
He was told what had passed, and
he held up his hands and almost
shouted:
You have ruined me! shall have
to shut up the hotel within three
days!"
But why?" we all asked in chorus,
Because that colored man Is nv
chef. He allows me as a personal
favor to run this hotel He permits
me to fill it with guests. He unbends
enough to allow me to hire other helm
He will feel insulted at your remarks
and give me warning that must close
the place within three days. How
could you do such a thing, and you
my friends!"
1t seemed hopeless case at first
sight but after we had gone in q
body to the chef and made our hum.

Little Maids From Schoo,

DIXON is famous throughout France
for its mustard and its nunneries.
Every Sunday in the streets of that
quiet old city the good sisters walk
with theiE young charges. Each and
all, from athree years old to twenty,
wear the same simple snuff-cOlored
garb and identical hats. But nowadays
the uniform hat is no longer the tradi-
tional black straw that you see in
your minds eye as you read this. Not
ut all. The good sisters of Dijon have
sacrificed something of the strict let
ter of usage to the taste and feeling
of the time Their pupils wear little
turbans of pale blue straw ornamented
with tricolor cockades, and the parade
of the little company in pettcoats is
very quaint and very, very nice. Il
is q thing one smiles at but never
dreams of laughing at.

with nothing to live on, it was neces-

or marry some man to support her.
That Margaret was naturally of an

the fact that she rented a cottage, in
which she proposed to live alone and
have her office.
One day a young man appeared on
the premises and seemed to be looking
them over. Margaret went out and
asked him if he was thinking of buy
ing the property. The man looked at
her admiringly, for she was a pretty
girl, and replied that he was consid-
ering whether it could not be fixed up
and used for residential purposes. He
said that he was an architect.
