NEWEST USE FOR NAIL FILE.
Guest at Philadelphia Dinner at First
Caused Great Consternation
by His Action.
A Philadelphia doctor has discov
ered a brand new use for a nail file
which Is lib fly to become much more
promim nt than the old use. A short
time ago this doctor was a guest at a
dinner in one of Philadelphia's most
exclusive houses. When the last
course had been served and the cigars
were being passed the doctor reached
down into his trousers and extruded
a penknife. Slowly he opened n blade.
Kvcrybody gasped. Could It bo that
Dr. would so far forget himself
as to manicure his nails at the table?
All watched with bated breath. Slowly
the doctor reached out and secured a
match which was near his place. Then
he deliberately struck his match on
the rough part of the nail file and lit
his cigar. The suspense was over and
the doctor had not commi'teil thn
frightful breach of etiquette which his
associates had feared. Now the cus
tom Is spreading fast, for It Is less ef
fort than It is to stand on one leg to
strike the match on one's shoe, and
decidedly more elegant than the time
honored method of striking it on one's
trousers.
Prcbably True.
"Say," said the farmer, who was un
loading potatoes at the grocery, "do
you believe that story about little
fjeorge Washington and the hatchet
ami the cherry tree?"
"Don't ask me," laughed the grocer.
"Well, I think it is probably true.
I've got a boy ten years old at home,
and after he had teased me for a year
or so I bought him a boy's ax."
"And did he cut down your favorite
cherry tree?"
"He ditl a heap better than that.
He cut down most of the apple or
chard orchard."
"And did he tell a lie about It?"
"Nope. Owned up like a little
man."
"Anil, like Washington, you praised
him?"
"I'nllke Washington, I didn't do
any such blamed thing. I gave him
a hiding ou the spot, ami have licked
him once a day since and am going
to keep It up until he Is twenty-five
years old."
Requcct for a Loan.
Hanging In our front hall was a

First Fare on the Comet.

claimed to have been the first to pay
passage money on hoard the first pas
senger steamer in Europe the hl
toric Comet. The voyage undertaken j
was from the llroomlelaw to Dnlmulr
fourpeiice now by tramway car and
the fare w its four shillings. It was j

miles off the coast thty sighted a sea

from side to side as a snake does, and
had a big dorsal tin 15 feet back of

HAVE FROFER SELF-RESPECT.
One cf the Greatest Mistakes Possible
to Make Is That of Holding
Oneself Too Cheap.
Do not hold youi si If too cheap. If
you do not think well of yourself oth
ers are not likely t0 think much of
you. You me usually taken at your
own value. py this Is not meant a
foolish self ci iiccit, but a proper self
respect. Have a regard for the esteem of
those whose opinion Is worth having.
No one can be admired by all. lb'
who litis no enemies may doubt wheth
er he has real friends. Try to win
the rigaul of the good and the wise;
If the foolish take offense pass It by.
Think too well of yourself to stoop
to anything coarse, mean or untrue.
However humble your station in life
may be, you may think yourself wor
thy only of that which Is good and
true. To he genuine puts you on n
high level. Whatever your purse, you
may be rich In chantcter. Think your
self worthy of the best to which you
can attain. Aim for the highest you
see, and should you fail to reach It.
you will slill be higher than If your
aim had been low.
Dreamers.
Day dreams, castles In Spain, fig
ments of the Imagination nh, how
we lauuh at thoni all nowadays! They

for the boys nnd girls, perhaps, but
as for us we have long ago outgrown
them. With what gusto we r-pcak of
So-atnl So as a hard headed chap, a
money petter, while we dismiss his
rival with a lift of the brows as "an
Imprsrttlcnl ti How."
Shame upon us for it, too! God
give us more dream is. 1 pray; more
of those whose inner eye is free of
cataract. We need them here In Amer
ica to-day; we are too practical a peo
ple. We are young in years, but we
have fought an aging battle for the
supremacy of a great continent. We
have come up out of the struggle with
the rich trophies of victory fast
clutched In our calloused hands. We
have worked desperately hard for
them, and they are good to look upon
but we must have a care now lest
we bow down before them In abject
fetish worship. Chillies Francis Head,

Form Colonies for Tramps.
Perhaps most tranis have no de
sire to work, preferring t; cling to
their habits of shil'tlessness, but there
are doubt loss many men In tho ranks
who would settle down to the seilotiR
task of making money and Improving
their condition If they had the proper
training. The latter may and prob
ably will, be rescued by a term on the
"farm," but the veteran who has
walked rails when no freights were
available; who has shied at anything
savoring of labor; who litis begged or
stolen what food he litis obtained, can
not be reformed. lie will no on until
