WHEN A MAN QUEERS HIMSELF
How a Drummers Joke Made a Good
Thing for Others
Oh yes I am on the road for the
same old firm and at the same old
wages said the drummer as a look
of disgust crossed his face and I
never expect to get anything hetter
When a man queers himself good and
liard once he seldom gets another
look in
Something happen to you wa3
asked
Two years ago when I had a west
ern route I struck the laziest sleep
iest village in the United States I
never saw such a place before or
since Dead asleen and I dont believe
thinking to play a joke on the town
I asked the landlord of the inn what
he would take for his place It was
worth perhaps a thousand dollars but
of course lie doubled the sum I
said Id take it as soon as the deeds
could be made out Then I went out
and bought a shop a store and six
dwellings in the same way permitting
the owners to name their price With
in half a day I had em woke up I
offered to buy three or four farms
in the country around
All for a joke
All for a joke I hadnt 50 to
my name The usual result followed
Every one became suspicious that I
had a big thing on and refused to
sell The excitement continued and
as a matter of fact a big manufac
tory was located there a railroad
was built shops established and to
day it is a bustling little city I gave
it its start If Id have gone at it
like a business man I could have se
cured a hundred options and been in
the swim but as it was I was left
out of the good thing and never ex
pect to strike another Im not kick
ing Thats the drummers luck

As the Engineer Explained It
It is said that unless one can impart
information one does not really pos
sess it The late Prof Angelo Ileilprin
used to tell a story says the Yrashing
ton Star illustrative of this point The
professor himself had a most learned
and lucid mind Not only could he
master a question he could lay it so
clearly before you that you became
master of it too
Two commercial travelers on the
way from Reading to Philadelphia
once got into an argument over the ac
tion of the vacuum brake
Its the inflation of the tube that
stops the train declared the first
traveler
Wrong wrong shouted the sec
ond Its the output of the exhaus
tion
So they wrangled for an hour Then
when the train arrived in Philadelphia
they agreed to submit the matter for
settlement to the engineer That gen
tleman leaning condescendingly from
the window of his cab listened with
an attentive frown to the two travel
ers statement of their argument
Then he smiled shook his head and
said
Well gents yere both wrong about
the workin of the vacuum brake
Yet its very simple and easy to un
derstand When we want to stop the
train we just turn this ere tap and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum
Ceremony of Calling in Spain
Calling in Spain bristles with cere
mony When a first visit is paid the
hostess says at parting Your honor
has taken possession of your house
for all I have is yours
If anything during the call is ad

It is at your disposal
The answer to which must be I

end of the play visiting is carried on
for an hour or more while the audi

riages
A hardship in a Spanish womans
life is the long period of mourning
into which she is plunged for even
quite distant relatives For a cousin
seen perhaps but once and who has
died a hundred miles away black is
worn for a year during which time all
visiting is stopped the piano is locked
and no one looks out of the window

A curiosity in the form of a war

In the last decade of the eighteenth
century a band of French brigands
flourished in and about the forest of

were known as the chauffeurs from

Stylish Fashion Has Again Come Into
Popular Favor
Patent leather belts have come into
their own again They are very
stylish on all cloth suits They aro
very narrow the stiff ones running
only an iiieh wide but the more fash
ionable ones are in soft leather that
fit into the figure and curve in and
out at the waist line These are ex
pensive but they wear well and are
very superior to the stiff ones in
shape and in curve
With the stiff old fashioned belt
there is always the trouble of having
it ride up above the skirt belt It isi
too unwieldy to go down over it andi
that much higher
These belts do not have fancy
buckles or even the broad gilt buckle
used on the soft suede belts but aro
fastened through plain black ones cov
eted with the kid
The undressed kid ones are oxcccdJ
ingly stylish and come in every color
to tone into the skirt The buckles
on these are narrow and made of gilt
or silver but without jewels
TO LIGHTEN NORTH ROOM
Various Devices by Which Apartment
May Be Improved
No one wants a gloomy room but
what to do with one facing north is
often a difficult niobium
Some people do without curtains to
allow all the light possible to come
into the room but it is not so much
light that one needs as sunshine and
when this cannot be had one must
make it or rather get the effect of it
Try having it papered with a soft yel
low paper A good plan is to have
a light yellow on the walls as far
as the picture molding and a lighter
shade almost cream above this and
on the ceiling Then yellow silk sash
curtains pulled back tend to make
a room appear sunny says Home
Chat
Brass can make a wonderful differ
ence to a dreary room A largo
jardiniere with a plant in it placed
in a dark corner will lighten up the
corner marvelously Brass fireirons
too will give a cheery reflection even
candlesticks help and little trays and
bowls be they ever so small The im
portance of brass in a sunless room
cannot be too strongly emphasized
Mirrors brighten it up and so do some
pictures with well polished glasses
and gilded frames
TEA COSY IN APPLIQUE WORK
Illustration Gives Idea for Very Pretty
Table Ornament
Now that applique work of every
kind is so fashionable our readers will
no doubt be interested in the accom
panying illustration which shows a de
sign for a very novel tea cosy to be
decorated entirely with work of this
description The cover itself is of pale
green satin bound at the edges with
7Nr
gold silk cord The applique designs
which are the same on both sides of
the cosy are carried out in darker
green velvet outlined with gold braid
The large central design is repeated in
a smaller size on either side In an
ordinary teapot the cosy should be
made about 11 inches wide and 9
inches deep
Fur Trimmings
Fur as a trimming on dressy wraps
of cloth silk or satin or lace is beauti
ful For this use the darker sables
and seals are chosen these contrast
ins artistically with the faint pinks
delicate blues and soft creamy whites
of the evening wraps and gowns The
delicate toning of the material brings
out all the richness of the fur while
the fur enriches the material immeas
urably No great amount however is
employed for the reason that all tend
ency to weight is obviated as much
as possible in order to protect the per
ishable laces chiffons and spangled
nets of the gowns over which the
