An Ameer's Nice Choice of Words In
 Speaking of a Fall.

An Ameer's Nice Choice of Words In
 Speaking of a Fall.
 A good horseman may be thrown from his horse, under some circum- stances, with little or no reflection upon his skill The accident may have been excusable, even inevitable, when all the details are known; but as cas- ually related the excuses frequently disappear, and the fall, with it's ig- nominious suggestion of incompetency, alone remains. Lady St. Heller, in telling of the deep admiration and re- gard entertained by the Ameer of Af- ghanistan for Lord Kitchener, gives a little anecdote of the orientaIs instant perception and avoidance of the pos sibility of any humiliating implication for his friend.
 Lord Kitchener had suffered severe accident that resulted in leg so bad ly broken as to necessitate several weeks complete rest at the time, and later, two. months furlough in Eng land, and a resetting of the bone. One of Kitchener's staff gave the news of his misfortune to the ameer during a great tiger hunt at Gwalior.
 T told him." the officer wrote Lady St. Heller, "that the chief had nasty fall at Poona, his horse tumDling down an embankment. He Immediately ask ed for a piece of paper and wrote a telegram of sympathy in Persian. He handed it to Sir Henry McMahon and asked him to send 1t off immediately.

Confiscate Foul
 Restaurant Meats

The crusade being conducted against restaurant keepers who have been selling foul meat to the public resulted in arrest and conviction of two proprietors in the city court this morning by Judge Frank Wilder! Pe- ter Paros, who conducts a place at 929 East Main street and Aran Gold man, owner of a restaurant at 42 Capitol avenue were both fined $35.
 Dr. A. c. Knapp and Health In- spector Toomey visited the stores of both men last Friday. They found hamburg steak, which was at the time none to fresh, in ice chests. The next day the meat was still in Athe stores and was so fouL as to be unfit for sale.
 Produced in court this morning the OdOr of the meat caused consterna- tion and the windows had to be open ed for a period to air the courtroom Both men claimed they did not in- tend to cook the meat for consump- tion, but Prosecutor Delaney main tained the fact they did not throw it away was prima facie evidence of their guilt.
 These are the first two arrests and convictions which have resulted from the prosecution of the crusade for clean food in Bridgeport restaurants.

HIS CHEERFUL RECEPTION.

Tho Compliment Came After He Made
 His Little Talk.
 A Washington newspaper man was once a member of congress from an Ohio district. He is not an orator and rarely makes a speech. When he was running for congress he got word that lie must come to small town on the edge of his district to attend meeting. A famous "spellbinder'' had been se- cured, and the candidate was expected to be there, to shake hands and show himself.
 When he arrived at the village he was horror stricken to find that the speaker of the occasion had missed his train and would not be there.
 Come right up to the hall," said the chairman of the delegation that met him. There's big crowd there, and they are anxious to hear some talking. 9
 The candidate went in fear and trem- bling. He was introduced and talked for fifteen minutes. He started to sit down, but the chairman motioned him to continue. He went on for another quarter of an hour and by that time had told all he knew or ever expected to know that was of interest to his au- dience.
 Then he dropped into his chair The man who was presiding came cheerful ly forward and said: We have heard our candidate Now, if there is any one present who can make speech we shall be glad to hear him. ."-YOIlth's Companion.

 Capri, great twin bumped camel of an island, kneels in the blue just off the Sorrentine peninsula. From the sway backed huddle of white, pink, blue, cream and drab houses along the large harbor up the breakneck road to the fascinating town nestling among the hills, white roofed and Moorish, and on, still higher, by the winding road or up the nearly perpendicular flights of rock stairs which furrow the drowning crag with their sharp, zigzag outlines to Anacapri, 500 feet or so above, every step of the way breathes the pnde and splendor and degradation of the islands greater days.

Warming Before Command.

In bringing up my children I found that at night when they were tired they were spared many tears by being warned before gave them a strict command. Instead of saying Now it is time to go to bed. Put away your blocks at once," I would say: "It is nearly time to go to bed. Finish your house first and then put away your blocks" In this way the children were fully prepared to go, and there was consequently no begging and no temp tation for me to show my lack of firm ness by being persuaded to allow them to build 'just one more house."

Not an Easy Matter For Foreign Dem

 Not every foreigner who comes along with the claim of being dentist can practice that profession in Chile. The government sees to it that any one who is to look after the health and preservation of the teeth of it's people must first demonstrate his qualifica- tions.
 The law provides that before H. cense may be granted foreigner to practice dentistry in the country the applicant must secure permission from the rector of the University of Chile to take the examination. His foreign di- ploma, duly certified and authenticat- ed, must be attached to the permit, and a fee of 800 pesos (about $75 in United States money) must be deposited for the license in the office of the secre- tary of the university.

broidery done with colored silk thread

broidery is not so easy to do as IT
looks. Much patience is required TO
set the running stitches evenly and to
keep the lines perfectly straight, and
any deviation gives the embroidery an

trace light pencil lines on the material
and run the silk in and out along
