BETTER SOLDIER THAN LOVER
Great Duke Of Wellington Somewhat
Awkward in His courtship
of Jenny Lind.

In his book Of "reminiscences, Ar
thur Coleridge, a great-nephew Of the
famous poet, gives an interesting ac-
count of Jenny Lind. He was her
intimate friend for 20 years. He tells
the following story Of the prima donna
and the duke Of Wellington:
In four months. after her arrival
in London the old warrior had be-
come a captive to the enchantress.
He courted the lady 81 0stentatious-
ly as to rouse the jealousy of the
Italian faction; his enthusiasm was
rather awkward at times to the OBJ
ject Of his homage. l have her own
authority for saying that the duke
always arrived early and seated
himself in his box ON a level with
the stage. Directly he saw Jenny
Lind he opened fire: Good evening,
Miss Lind, how are you tonight?
All right, l hope These well-meant
u%tterances were a trifie out of place
at the particular time, for the Lucia.
Amina, or Daughter of the Regi-
ment was always so absorbed in her
part as to be out of touch with all
outside influence"

Worth Recording.

A Washington woman had scrimped
for a long time to take a trip to rana-
ma. A man very much younger than
herself, in the deck chair beside her,
was making the voyage for the good
of a frazzled nervous system. He vas
a whimsical y%oungster, who could joke
at his own ups and downs, and she
was used to boys, so they talked OF
this and that until at last the subject
came around to the thing that makes
the traditional mare go. The woman,
still dazed at the Aladdin-like power
that could transmute small economies
into a fairy world Of blue ocean bill
lowing into blue sky, took her turn
at the conversation by voicing civiliza-
tons Oldest platitude:
money talks, doesn't itY
ut ure does, though my money
only knows two words-'GOod bye"
And the woman has brought 1t home
as one of her good little stories.

FLAPPER HAD KINDLY HEART
Just Goes to Prove That One 10 Not
Always Safe in Judging BY
Appearances.

She got on the interurban car a few
stops the other side Of Greencastle
last week-a typical little flapper with
b0bbed hair, an abundance of paint
on her cheeks, short skirt and imita-
ton Of a blouse, and she flirted with
every available man in sight. Across
the aisle was an ol~d-fashi0ned girl,
the sort you see in pictures.
Every one of the latter's glances
toward the little flapper were full Of
scorn. But when they reached Green
castle a little Japanese girl got on the
car. And then both OF the girls
watched her.
A few miles out of town the Jap
anese girl became i'll. The old-fash-
toned girl sat aloof, but the little
''flapper" Immediately got interested,
moved over to her, patted her cheek
and then Strengthened her on the seat,
taking the other girls head in her lap.
If a vote could have been taken for
the most popular girl on the train the
"flapper'' would have taken first, last
and all honors.-Indianapolis News.

The Church Fair.

The suburban woman and her sew
enteen-year-old son. George, went to
the church fair. The fair, like most
church fairs, was costing the woman
a great deal Of money. 1t was a
chance on this and a chance on that.
A few articles she bought outright.
Since she was well known and her
husbands salary was also a matter of
town gossip, all her friends who had
charge Of booths insisted upon her
buying and buying.
All this continual handing out money
was too much for Georges cOmpre-
hension. He couldn't seem to under.
stand the cause Of it all. Finally,
when his mother was free for a few
moments, he looked at her seriously
and asked, Mamma, do We have to pay

Cuts the Worlds Whiskers.

The American safety razor is given
the credit of having conquered the
Spanish beard. On account Of the
heaviness of their boards, the Spanish
men generally shave much less than
those of other countries and the re-
suit was they presented q rather I'M
shorn appearance. The visit to the
barber was a serious matter and the
Spaniard selected his barber as other
men would select a dentist, the one
that was least painful. But the
American safety razor is said to have
overcome this and the men are not
only enabled to shave themselves, but
to shave more frequently.
