the earlier tribes Of men assured them

convinced her husband Of unquestion-

DIDN'T WORK BY SCHEDULE
Impossible for Rural Postman to Tell
just When the Next Mail
Would Go Out.

A day Of mist and rain and driving
wind, and over the turn Of the hill a
mans figure making his way, the only
human being that had been seen for
days. He came straight into the house
with his postbag, and kindly smile.
He had a military bearing and spoke
like schoolmaster with a university
education. He explained how he had
come round that way and expected to
carry back letters ready for the post.
A rush was made and what could be
put together was intrusted to him.
"What about tomorrow was the
question asked by those unacquainted
with the ways Of the rural post.
"When does the post go out?" A slow
smile gathered on the postman's face.
a"Ahl that cannot tell" he said, shak-
ing his head. 1T depends entirely on
when it comes in."--Christian Science

TN THE realm Of special privilege
1 that is within the four walls Of
home all sorts Of negligees blossom
out, as varied and unlike each other as
flowers In a garden. Here splendor-
loving women can go as far as they
like, drawing inspiration from all
quarters of the earth and of other
lands; and this is what they do. If
anything odd or, beautiful happens to
be overlooked by them, some kind
genius among eostumers is sure to
bring the neglected treasure to their
notice in an alluring form, to his gain
and theirs.
Considering everything the two neg

quite unpretentious. One of them in

DENIED PLEASURES OF TABLE
Great Jockey Had to Sacrifice Much to
Maintain His Position as King
Of Riders.

Fred Archer, the famous English
Jockey, had to employ heroic meas
hres to keep his weight down.
The story is told of how, on one oc-
Rasion, he was the guest Of very hos
pltable host.
From the kitchen came the perfume
sf sayory meats, and at dinner a
sturdy, rosy-cheeked man-servant made
his appearance, his back bending I'M
der the weight Of a great salmon on
lOrdly dish.
Poor Archers face, as he surveyed
the initial preparations for the evening
meal, was quite piteous to watch.
Then, with a shrug of the shoulders
and sigh, but ill-concealed by a cynl-
cal remark, he left the table, and
shortly afterward his host saw him
pass the window on a hack, galloping
toward the training grounds.
Later on he partook Of a tiny glass
Of champagne and a biscuit, playing
one game Of billiards. and retired to
bed.
