Shaw Didn't Ike Him.

MANY years ago in house in Ash

a musical evening when 1 saw coming

traordinarily disagreeable impression
on me, a tall young man in evening
dress, with a blond beard and, as 1t
seemed to me, hateful expression.
"He was coming straight at me. !
moved aside to avoid him, and he
moved too, apparently to get into my
way again. An impulse Of rage at this
insult was checked just in time by the
discovery that instead Of walking along
a corridor I was crossing a square
landing and that the detestable ap-
partition who had chilled my very soul
with his abominable aspect was a re-
Election of myself in the wall of mirror

cramped dwelling an appearance Of

Guided miners nystagmus. No thor

to exist, no definite information is

A bulletin has been issued, however,
by the United States bureau Of mines

this disease, particularly that Of Ger

which compensation is paid.
Two views, 1t appears, are advanced

to working in badly-lighted space

In Spite Of Tempting Window Dis
plays, She Had Spent Less Money
Than She Had Intended.

She didn't look different from the
common run Of womankind-just a
plump, comfortable, neat kind Of
woman, with pleasant face and big,
dark eyes-and perhaps / should never
have remembered sitting opposite her
If 1t had not been for the remark she
made to her companion. The station
was crowded with tired-looking wom-
en-, who, judging by the hat boxes and
bundles of all sizes, had been doing
their shopping.
l had been going over in my mind
the things had purchased that l could
very well have done without, and la
menting as usual that the old proverb,
"a fool and his money are soon part
ed" is just as true today as in the
long ago time when the wise man said
it.
This woman took up her handbag,
opened it, took out her purse and
counted it's contents, with little wor-
ried line coming between her eye
brows, and I felt so sorry for her, for
evidently she was having the same diff
ficulty that l always experience-try-
ing to decide what in the world be-
comes of a bill after it is broken. But,
bless you! that woman looked up at
her companion and said audibly: II
haven't spent near as much money as
I aimed to spend"
Gracious me! How I'd like to try
the feel of such an experience as that
after whole day in the city. I knew
right then that she was no ordinary
woman. Every shop in that city had
decorated the windows for a tempta-
ton or a dare to every woman who
paused to gaze moment.
There were lovely suits, filmy lacy
waists, exquisite ribbons and collars
and gloves. And the hats! Maybe
she didn't see them. And the new
books and music and china! Her eyes
looked perfectly good-and I just can't
account for it. I'll probably never see
her again, and I do wish I had plucked
up the courage to take her to one side
and ask in a confidential whisper:
