FEMININE USE OF PROFANITY
Census Taken at Girls Seminary Can
not Be Taken as Positive
of lniquity.

1t has long been the fashion at col
leges and schools to take a census of
graduating classes. to determine such
vital facts as these:
What Is your favorlte flower? How
tall are you? Do you smoker Are
you a prohibitlonist2
At girls seminary recent inquiry
was more sweeping. To the interroga-
ton, "Do you swear2" 200 of the 215
girls answered yes.
But admitting that they swear is
not proof that these feminine lips do
utter oaths. SO at least says the law
in New York state, writes "Griant"
in the Philadelphia Press.
-Four or five people must hear you
swear, not a second or two, but for
about five minutes-that's the law In
North Carolina.
"Down in Alabama they don't expect
q man to swear from the housetops,
but the law says that II three or four
persons hear you just once, good
night
'In Tennessee 1t is not necessary to
repeat the offensive words when cul-
prit is indicted for swearing.
II saw on the veranda Of coun-
try club II women, of whom IL
were drinking an intoxicating liquor
and seven were smoking cigarettes.
But If that census at the girls SEM
mary is an index, more women swear
than daily with John Barleycorn or
Lady Nicotine"

One morning as he was having his

French's pasture, picked out sheep

tussle, got 1t home and had 1t sheared.
A few days later Jake discovered
his missing sheep dead in his pasture.
He lost no time in seeking his neigh
Dor. With profuse apologies he re-
turned the sheep and the fleece and
explained the whole affair.
"Oh, that's all right, Jake" Leslie
replied. Don't let it trouble you a
bit"

asked anxiously.
"Shre, sure, Jake. Anyone is likely

A Nuisance.

Charles NJ Schwab said at din
ner In LorettO:
"Some men, retiring from business
at fifty-fve or so, take bungalows at
Los Angeles and do nothing but sit
on their front porches and listen to
their arteries hardening. A bad thing
"Others join the Atlantic City col
ony. There they are sure to become
cranks, golf cranks, while their wives,
frequentlng the board walk sales In
the japanese shops, become auction
cranks. Rather nuisance, that.

Atlantic City cottage where my host

FORGOT HIS CAB WAS THERE
observation-disclosures of Sir Herbert Tree
Was Matter Of Some Expense
During Year.

Maj Fltzroy Gardner was Sir Her
bert Trees manager for many years,
and tells some good yarns about the
famous actor, who was often absent
minded.
"On one occasion, on leaving
house, not noting that there was cab
waiting he hailed another and drove
off elsewhere, the first driver, who
knew his fare, following behind. After
the next call he hailed third cab, and
so the actor arrived at his theater
leading little procession Of cabs, and
all three had to be paid for.
"When riding back to London from
a country house near town where he
had been spending the weekend, he
became impatient, and stopped at
wayside inn, left his horse there, and
hired a dog-cart for the rest of the
Journey. He quite forgot that he had
not brought his horse back to the
livery stable where 1t had its home I'M
til, several days afterwGrd, 1t was
led up to the stage door Of the Hay
market theater, its owner having been
recognized by the innkeeper." -Edln-

Church Treasure Recovered.

An Italian Ice cream dealer In at
tempting to dispose Of a solid silver
cross for 100000 In Glasgow disclosed
the whereabouts Of a Thirteenth CEN
fury church ornament worth 100000
which disappeared several years ago
from the Church Of Borgo Collefa-
cato, near Aqulla, Italy. The evil
dence presented In court was to the
effect that the cross was one Of the
most valuable antiquities Of Italy, and
was thought to have been struggled
out Of the country by an art collector.
The Ice cream vendors effort to sell
It at a 100000 figure aroused the suspi-
cIons Of an antiquarian because Of
its greater intrinsic worth. The Ital-
ian contended that 1t has been In the
possession Of his family for genera
tions, that 1t had been lost In the
earthquake at MessIna and had been
recovered by him from the ruins.

The large iaundries are beginning to
revised their price lists In keeping with
the return to "normalcy," says the New
York Sun, but this doesn't apply to
Mr.. John Chnaman's laundry He adj
mits he is getting cheaper soap and
cheaper starch, but he insists China
boys to do the work are scarcer and
higher than ever. Many Of the Chinese
youths are going to universities and
absorbing some of the finer occidental
arts, and turn up their noses at pushing
n gas iron In laundry. It's only the old
Chinese that will wash clothes, and
they work slowly.
So, says Lee Sing, until things get
a little more normal and the younger
Chinese drop some Of their higher edu-
cational ideas, he can't see how
laundry ticket can be exchanged for
less money.

LYCURGuS DID NOT BELONG"
Old Gentleman Wrong in CHASING Him
as One of Seven Wise Men
Of Greece.

The seven wise men of Greece,
whose names and sayings have come
down to us from antiquity, have been
distinctly secondary in renown re-
Gently to the several score wise men
Of the nations gathered here in the
ments.
But the ancient wise men are not
forgotten. Here and there are men
who treasure the sayings which those
worthless handed down to us. They
are keen on the proper pronunciation
of their names, and know to de-
gree in which Greclan state they lived.
One of these scholars came In last
week to settle a dispute, says the
Washington Star. Several of his
friends, in whom the fine flower of
learning had not withered any more
than 1t had in him, were disputing
about those seven wise men Of Greece.
"They could only think Of six" de-
clared the gentleman, nodding his
white head. 81 said the seventh was
Lycurgus. Am L rlghtf
The seven wise men Of Greece, not
having figured in the news for q few
years, 1t was no easy task to locate
them. But a fat volume finally gave
them up-and Lycurgus was not in the
list.
Bias, Chilo, Cleobulos, Plttacos, So
Ion, Thales and Perlander were the
seven wise men. Everybody remem-
bers Scion as the man who got off
that really tremendous saying "Know
myself" Cleobulos is credited with a
good one too. "Avoid extremes" This
latter is the famous golden mean" OF
Epicurus.
"And to think I would have put
Lycurgus in that list" exclaimed the
old gentleman.

A Wise Chicken.

In west side school the pupils OF
the eighth grade were studying about
the different Presidents of the United
States. They had just finished JEFF
ferson's administration, and Miss D.,
the teacher, asked:
president Jefferson was known as
what2"
Harry was quick with the answer.
"IIe was known as the Sage Of the
Age"
Before the teacher could ask an
other question, a hand shot UP and a
small boy asked:
miss d., what does sage meanT
Harry was permitted to answer this
one, too, and he said:
Usage means wise"
Whereupon the small boy asked:
"Well, what's sage hen, Miss Dr.
Before she could explain, she was
shocked to hear Harry, with disgust
in his voice, turn to the small boy
and say:
"Why a sage hen is wise chicken
Of course. "-Indlanapo News.

Artist Works With Wood.

In the Vosges mountains there lives
an artist named Splndler, who pro-
duces the most enhancing compo-
sltions not in paint, but In wood alone.
First he makes the sketch, and then
with infinite patience and care he cuts
the veneer and Clues 1t to backing
and then Yields 1t all in a press. Since
Mr.. Spindler never uses anything ex-
cept wood In its natural color, he has
to know great deal about trees. In
his workroom he has pieces of every
kind Of wood found In Europe and
many pieces from other countries. He
pictures clouds, rain, and every
thing that an artist can picture with
paints. Some Of his veneer takes him
hours of study and fitting, and some
Of It is as fine as hair. Mr.. Spindler
has wood Of every shade ~of yellow,
red, brown, black and white. He has
almost all the shades Of green also,
but he finds the blues hard to get

constructed. caved in and It was
necessary to rebuild it. That used
up the surplus cash and put the
town in del5t worse than ever. Since
then II has been a battle to whittle
down those debts
At one time the town owed $780,
600 and had nothing in the treasury.
Recent administrat have cut
down expenses and devised various
means OF raising revenue until the
old debt has been wiped out. There
is now a neat sum in the city Golfers
to be used n 5uilding the long de-
sired city hall.
For ten wears the city has owned
the tract OF land at Wentworth ave.
and l54th street. which was donated
by the Mccormick estate. This is
to be the site Of the new city build

lice and fire departments were both
