know, and dislikes seeing any lady In
evening dress. I, on tho othor hand,
who havo spent six years of my Mfo
as a missionary among tho cannibals,

A Good Suggestion.
Beerbohm Tree, tho London nctor,
has a daughter, Viola, who shows

does not wish to enter the profession
in which her parents havo been so
long prominent. When quite a llttlo
girl she begged her father to got her
a pony. "But, my dear," said ho, "a
pony costs a lot of money." Llttlo
Viola considered a moment and then
said: "Well, why don't you act better
and then you would got moro monoy."
Her Words Came True.
Senator Prltchard of North Caro

of tho state is, remarked: "A moun
taineer, aged ninety-two, and his wifo,
aged ninety, were returning from tho
funeral of their oldest child, who had

Adjusting Glass Globes.
In fitting on globes It Is a common
error to screw them on to the gas

bocomos hot. Many mysterious break

Just celebrated his 60th birthday. Thirty-four
Othmans havo reigned In Tur

longer than Abdul, and most ot his
predecessors have been slain or put in
chains before, their friends were able
to wish them many happy returns of
