Honor Absolutely Individual
and Personal, HoWe.Is Says

Honor Is something else than noto-
rio'N which In turn is something very
different from fame or character.
Not"riety is current familiarity with n
mans name, which is given by much
mention of 1t arising from any kind
of conduct. Reputation is favorable
notoriety as distinguished from fame.
which Is permanent approval of great
deeds or noble thoughts by the best
intelligence IF mankind. But honor
IS absolutely individual and personal
1t is conscious and willing loyalty to
the highest inward leading.-Howells

"le Pain de Ca'ende" Used
as Cure for Various Ills

A cure for the various maladies
that flesh is heir to was the large loaf
made chiefly in Provence. and called
"le pain de calende." 1t was very
large and very white, and from 1t was
cut a small piece marked with a knife
with three or four crosses. This was
carefully preserved as a remedy to be
used when required, and the remainder
of the loaf was divided among the
family on the feast of the Epiphany.

In the latter places the saloon keeper
usually kept Il pitcher full of booze

such cases however. The combina-

All the saloons in the state were
filled with ingenious hides most OF

result of some disgruntled employee

which ten barrels might be concealed.
Most of the saloons had large and
small hides, the smaller ones being
filled up daily from the big one by
the boss himself
Some of the hides consist of tanks
set inside of hewed-out Orders in the

with small pipe which generally
