The late H. B. Irving once told In
Philadelphia story about his ia.

1.-Two dear. old ladies sat in, their
stalls, at the Lyceum. waiting for

pierre?' said the first old lady.
""'Why. don't you known said the
second old lady. He's. the man who
was murdered in his bath by Marie
Corelli.'
"'Oh. no, my dearr said the first
old lady. That can't be right, for
Marie Corelli is still alive. remem-
ber who 1t was now. 1t was Char

Then. at the end of his story Mr..
Irving added:

duchess. When l finished the duchess

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huano Shan Created Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
10 Tradition.

More than 800 years ago in the Ming
dynasty, a. Buddhist priest named ,Pu
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhui hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making it a sacred
mountain. A journey to Peking and
an audience with the royal household
resulted in an appropriation OF large
sums Of money for developing this
fairyland- of the gods, A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple, It
was decorated with 1000 little. Bud
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
CODA. The temple whose halls it
decked was .christened the. Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called Merciful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds Of priests came to
the mountains, and there was period
Of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built to the tops of all the important
peaks. and at least one temple was
erected far above the line Of perennial
springs.

ASKING A LITTLE TOO MUCH
Under the Circumstances, Actor Was
Justified In Refusing Parts
Manager Allotted Him.

Owing to the limitations of his
purse the manager of a theatrical
show on the road Travelled with a
short company.
One. afternoon he called one of his
players to him and remarked:
Look here, Wellington, you'll have
to play three parts tomorrow night in
The Silent Foe'-Henderson. Uncle
Bill, and the Spider"
Cant do It'll" retorted Wellington
briefly, but firmly.
Cant do It? Won't do 1t, you
meant" snorted the manager. "why
won't you do it?''
Because 1t can't be done. No hu-
man being could play these three parts
at the one time. In the third act Hen
derson and the Spider have fight
and old Uncle Bill rushes in to sep
arate them"

suBslsT MAINLY ON DATES
Fruit Is the Mainstay Of Life to the
People Of Egypt, Arabia
and Persia.

East is west SO far as the palm is
concerned. Hawaii, California. Flor
ida. Cuba, Egypt. Palestine. they all
know their palms. OF all varieties
none is so dear to the heart as the
date palm. We all know its delicious
fruit, but few can conceive the desert
dweller's love for 1t. for, he only can
appreciate Its grateful shade in the
sweltering desert heat.
The date palm is always a sure sign
Of water, for to thrive 1t must have
this. Rising often to height of 100
feet. 1t is a haven of refuge to the
parched traveller who knows that to
dig near 1t is to find water. Then
there is the delicious fruit to be con-
sidered. too. Many of us know the
date as luxury-sometimes stuffed
or otherwise, but considerable part
of the inhabitants of, Egypt, of
Arabia, and Persia subsist almost en-
tirely on its fruit. They boast also of
Its medicinal virtues. Then the cam
els feed upon the date stone.

It's all right to try. try again, but n

D The trouble with good. advice is that
few of US recognize 1t when we hear

1t is as difficult to get some men to

The man who takes himself serious
ly usually marries a woman who
doesn't.
It's pity, that more of us are not
willing to follow the advice we give
to others.
For the man who can pay for 1t with
honestly acquired coin the best is not
too good.

BABooN PUT TO USEFUL TASK
A. shsphsrds, the AnImaIs Are said
20 Develop IraIts That Ars
Almost. Human.

I.have often wondered. remarks Mr..
w. 6. Sculiy in the Atlantic Monthly,
why more baboons are not trained as
shepherds. The creatures invariably
develop an absorbing affection for any
young animals, human or other. that
are placed In their charge, and there
is well-authenticated instance of q
baboon taking charge Of a motherless
Kafir infant, and guarding It night
and. day for more than two years.
The simian foster parent performed
every necessary function except feed
ing the child. hs,j-l
Several baboons have been trained
as shepherds. In a case that Mr.. Soul
ly himself observed the baboon had
charge Of several hundred sheep. He
became passionately attached to the
members of the flock, and remained
with them all day long at pasture and
brought them back to the corral in
the evening. His only fault as shep-
herd was the outcome OF extreme So
licitude; II he heard the voicesyof wild
balloons in the distance at any time
Of the day, he would at once collect
the sheep, and with every appearance
Of the liveliest terror hurry them
home.
