NOT LONG HELD IN MEMORY
Cleveland Mans Experience 10 Very
Much What Would Come to
Most of Us.

1t isn't the Rip Van Wrinkles only
who come back to find themselves for
gotten. That sort of thing occurs with
painful frequency in everyday life.
Nor is it necessary for the victim to
stay away 20 years. Much less time
will efface him.
Some time ago a man came back
from the West, where he had made his
home for ten years, and set out to re-
new old acquaintance. He had been
a prominent man in the business life
of the city and member of leading
firm. 1t was to the habitation Of this
firm that he directed his footsteps.
AS he passed down the salesroOm
one Of his old partners came to him
with outstretched hand.
"Why, hullO, how are you? How are
things going, and how long do you
stay? Sorry I'm so busy. See you la
ter But he never came back.
Then the senior partner saw him and
came forward
swell. well, this Is surprised" he
cried. "HOw are things coming, and
how long do you stay in the city? Drop
In whenever you can find time. Sorry
I'm so busy. Good-day."
This visitor went away, feeling hurt
and ignored, but after all there's little
sentiment in business, and this Cleve-
land mans experience has been dupli-
Gated countless times, no doubt

Birds Curious Modification.

There is in New Zealand a form Of
crow (Hura) in which the female has
undergone very curious modification.
It is probably the only case in which
the bill is differently shaped in the two
sexes. The bird has taken on the
habits Of the woodpecker, and the stout
crOw-like bill Of the cock-bird is admir-
ably adapted to tap trees, and If they
sound hollow, to dig down to the bur-
row of the insect within.
But it lacks the horny pointed tip
Of the tongue, which in the true wood
pecker is provided with recurved hairs,
thus enabling that bird to pierce the
grub and draw it out. In the hura
the bill Of the hen-bird has become
much elongated and slightly curved,
and when the cock has dug down to
the burrOw, the hen inserts her long
bill and draws out tho grub, which
they then divide between them.

FLOWER BROUGHT BIG PRICE
English HorticuIturists Paid Large
Sum for American Plant With
Somewhat Peculiar History.

Ten thousand dollars is an extraor-
binary price for single plant; yet 1t
was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in America, the
cattleya gigas alba.
This cattleya was Powered in 1910
and exhibited at an orchid show in
the United States, where 1t was
awarded gold medal. The plant was
found In 1909 in a lot of other speci-
mems Of cattleya gigas. It was only
by chance that the plant was not sold
for dollar or two. The only reason
was that, after most of its companions
had been disposed of, this one, with
some others was set aside. Finally
all the specimens were potted.
To the great surprise Of the horti-
culturists when, next spring, the plant
cane up. it was with pure white flow
ers. The plant was sold in London
for perhaps the highest figure that an
orchid ever brought.

OWE OR OWN

I must confess I'd rather dress
In overalls and blouse,
Than run in debt for what l get,
And mortgage shop and house.
I'd rather choose some common shoes,
Sufficient old and wide,
To fit my feet, tho not so neat
Than crafty my pride.
I'd rather strive to keep alive
On good cornbread and beans
Than live so high on cake and pie,
And go beyond my means.
I'd rather own hut of stone
Than owe for a mansion grand;
I'D rather pay my honest way,
Than owe for house and land.
I'd rather dwell in lonely dell,
In shack my funds can buy,
Than live in style in house of tile
And owe for living high.

Siamese Fashions.

To be really in the fashion in Siam
it is not enough to have clothes of the
latest cut and knowledge of what,
when and where to wear these gar
ments. Good taste does not help
much, either. There is a rigid rule
for every day of the week, which is
followed by those who have the in
clination and the price. On Sunday
the things to wear are red robes and
rubies. On a Monday nobody is in
style without moonstones and white
regalia. Tuesday pink and corals
should be worn, with stripes and
catseye ornaments kept for Wednes-
day. No one can look smart on a
Thursday without going out in green
with emeralds. Light blue and dia-
monds are the thing for Friday, and
on Saturday one wears dark blue
and sapphires.-New York Sun.

SANDWICH" LONG IN DISPUTE
Invention Of Toothsome MorseI Has
Been Credited to Many, Including
the Great Napoleon.

Both Napoleon and Lord Sandwich
have been given credit for inventing
the sandwich, but Voltaire, in his his
tory of Charles the Twelfth, king of
Sweden, tells of how the king during
his campaign in Poland and Russia
never or seldom took time to sit down
and eat his meals, but generally stood
up. spread some butter on piece of
bread with his thumb and put piece
of meat, fish or cheese on top of the
butter. This happened almost one
hundred years before Napoleon.
And In 1862, or seven years before
Napoleon was born, Edward Gibbon of
decline and Fall" fame, noted in his
Journal under date of November "a:
Il dined at the Cocoa Tree. -.
That respectable body, affords every
evening sight truly English. Twenty
or thirty of the first men in the king

bit of cold meat or sandwich"
When Napoleon was two years old
FOote introduced the word in a play
of his, 1.-THE Maid of Bath" staged in
It'll. But the origin of the word was
traced by Pierre Jean Grosley in his
'Londres." published In ITO. He re-
sided in London in 1855, and refers to
the word as having recently come into
use. The title to authorship rests with
the butler or attendant, who served
thin slices of beef between thin slices
of toast to John Montagu. fourth earl
of Sandwich (1718-1792), while the
latter was attending a prolonged ses-
sion at the gaming table.

he was less indebted to art than Thorn
as Jefferson, and we therefore talk of
the rhetorical extravagances of the
Declaration and contrast them with
the Attic simplicities of the Gettysburg

North American Review. Perhaps we

Change.

Chiropodists at convention discuss
the probability that women in another
few generations will have only four
toes.
Tight shoes are reforming and
dwarfing the little toe. Instructors at
swimming pools frequently comment
on the number Of women whose little
toes have almost disappeared.
Back of this is the biological prin-
ciple that nature makes additions to
the body when needed, and takes away
parts no longer necessary. Thus fish
