This is a tale whoroln tho stenog rapher was not only of vast assistanco In tho husband's ofllco, but was In valuablo to tho wife, as well, for at least tho summer months. Tho family bought ono of the attractlvo camps in the Malno woods, well out of reach of real helpful civilization and nbvor real ized until thoy arrived and unpacked all tho groceries that tho ono thing necessary to their happiness was not among thorn a eomprossod yeast cako. And, what was worso, thero was no placo whoro thoy could got one; a summer of crackers stared thorn In tho faco. Tho wlfo, In do spalr, wrote to tho stenographer to look up yeast data of all kinds at onco. This valuublo young porson solved tho problem with hor usual prompti tude by going to a first class grocery shop and leaving an order to havo throo perfectly good yeast cakes sont by mall throo times a wook at tho market prlco of two cents each and two cents for first-class postage. Tho cakes arrived in porfect condition at regular Intervals during tho Bummer, and for onco tho wlfo joined tho hus band In giving full praise to a stenog rapher who Justly deserved It. Opera Tenors Peculiar. "Operatic tonors aro tho most pe culiar persons in tho world to got along socially with," remarked a Btago manager who waB rohoarslng a now operetta. "Tho very naturo of their business makes them quoor, I suppoao. You soo, thoy aro undor a continual norvoiiB strain, havo to tako particular pains with their costumes, as well as bo -under continual guard of their voIcob at all times. Thoy got finicky. I just had a sotto with tho tenor who Is supposod to look pretty. This follow had trlod on tho costumo which had boon furnished him. Ho did not llko It and camo to mo with blood In his oyo. 'You don't sunnoso I'm going to Bhow up in this choosy , outnt, do you 7' ho Bald. I knew I had to humor him.

That is, I should rovol in velvota, In ellks nnd satins, in plumes and ruf fles, In rich or dollcato colors, In dar ing and dashing modos, in ondloss va riety suited to my whim, to tho woath or or tho occasion. It would bo great fun. It would bo an artlstlo gratification. But I don't daro. In tho daya of knighthood, whon men woro really bravo, thoy out dro8od tho women; but In theso do genorato days wo do not venturo our fancies boyond cravats. No man In modern times haa dared to dross as he ploased oxcopt Oscar Wlldo, and we burled him with craven hlsscB. Wo mon rail at woman's fashions, but in our hearts we know ourselves to bo tho slavoa of fashion; of ono dull, deadly, monotonous fashion, which wo hate, but from which we aro too cowardly to froo oursolvos.

Bettor pay out money for good Umpa than for spec tacles. There are a number of im proved makes of kerosene lamps that Slvp a good, strong, stead light and also some very brilliant and econom ical gasoline lights. Some of these al most equal the brilliancy of electric ity. Exchange. The Old Showman He TelU How Ho Invented a New Animal By M. QUAD CopyrlRtit, 1910. by tho McClure Newnpupcr Hyndlcnte. "Ocntlemcu," begun the old showman tin his llttlo crowd of admirers usscm bled to listen to his tnle, "did any of you ever hear of an nnlinal called a "guynstlcutus?" "There never was such nn nnlmnl," replied one, "Thero Is such n word as guyastlcutus, but it is a slang word. When you cull a man n guynstlcutiw you express your contempt for him." "My friends, you aro wrong, nnd I shall take great pleasure In convincing you of tho fact I can't Ray that such nn animal exists now, but ho surely did forty years ago, for I Invented him foysclf." "Glvo us the yarn!" was cnlled out from every one. "Well, I was bond keeper of tho me nagerie trnvellng with tho circus. We had Hturtcd out of winter quarters with five hyenas In the cage, but four of them had gone dead on us. I guess It was pneumonia that carried them off. Tho one left was nn old he hyena, nnd ho could stand any sort of weather and tnko the bumps of tho country high ways. However, after his companions had departed this life wo snw n chnugo In him. He didn't fall stek, but ho got lonesomo and sulky. "There were dally complaints that our liycna was a frnud, and I was wondering what wo could do about it when tho boss camo to mo ono day nnd said: " 'Goorgo, that old hyenn is making troubles for us. What's tho matter with lilm anyhow?' " 'I guess ho is tired of being a hy enn,' I replied. " 'But ho can't bo anything else,' can he?' " 'Why, wo can't make n bird of him, but muybo I can mako some other ani mal of him.' " 'Then do It, man.' "I changed tho hyena's food n dozen times and gnvo him whisky to lap Instead of wntcr," said tho old show man, "but it didn't lmprovo him any, nnd I set myself to wonder how I could mako him over. Tho bright Idea camo to mo nt last, and ono Sunday, when wo had n Inzy dny of it, I bought various paints and brushes. Thero was a farmer's hired man hanging around tho show. Ho bad deserted tho plow for tho romanco of tho circus. Ho had offered to work for $5 n week nnd his board, but I had no room for him. When I got tho idea of making tho hyena over I beckoned to this chap and said: josuawny, i win give you so week and your board If you will do wliat I want you to do. It concerns tho old byenn in tho cage over there, I want to mako n guyastlcutus oC him, "Joshawny promised, nnd tho first thing to do wns to tlo tho old hyena up. Wo got ropes and straps nround , his legs nnd a inuzzlo over his nose, ana then went to work with tho paints. Ho didn't glvo us much troublo; ho wns too lonesomo nnd homesick for that. Wo gavo him bright green ears: I wo gavo him a bright red noso and red eyebrows; wo spotted his body noro and thero with green, red, blue, yellow nnd black paints. Wo put a dozen rings nround his tnIL nnd wo painted his legs ono color nnd his, feet another. Sny, boys, when wo got J through with that hyena wo had to sit back and roar with laughter, I "Wo hnd a special cago made for him and gaTo It such n position that only tho front with Its iron bars could o seen Behind it on n chair was Joshaway, tho young man who wns looking for romance. Ho did all tho I talking, but it seemed to coiuo from the guyastlcutus.

I ronowed tho pnlnt on him every other Sunday nnd Wiw to It that ho hnd tho choicest kind of food." "But what nbout the fatal day?" was queried. "Oh, yes, nbout that fatal day," re plied tho old Bhowraan. "Well, It camo nbout In this way. That young- man Joshawny undertook to cat an npplo wnilo ho wnB giving his talk, nnd tho seed of tho fruit got Into his throat and stuck there. Ho had to choke nnd cough nnd sputter, nnd tho fact that thero was a man somewhere hidden be hind tho guyustlcutus could not bo concealed. Thero were shouts of ox cltcmcnt and derision and calls for an Investigation. Half a dozen men press ed forward nnd seized tho cago nnd pulled it oft its benches.

Overcoming Opposition. Hooping sweet In spito of opposition 13 novcr a sign of amlablo weakness; only tho strongest can do it. Thore foro such keeping sweet 1b an Irresist ible attack on tho opposition, and will convert It to friendliness ar agree ment If anything can. Ono man who is often right In his convictions, and who Is ablo to express them clearly, wonders why It Is that he has difficulty in getting others to ngreo with him. Tho wholo troublo lies In his over-son-slllveness to tho disagreement of those, whom ho would convince Tho Instant thoy show or express a dlfferenco of opinion, ho "flares up," and his oppor tunity and power nro gone. Another man koeps undisturbed and smiling In tho face of disagreement, and wins men to Ills Bide In most that ho has to say. Tho difference botween tho two mon Is not in tho truth that they pre sent, but in tho way that thoy prcsont it Tho surer wo are that wo aro right, tho moro Important It Ib that wo should not dishonor our messago and loso our caso by antagonizing those whom we ought to win. 8truck the Wrong Pitch. A program had been arranged for visiting day in tho school at Now lngton, N. H. Tho, music had been re hearsed In tho town hall over tho school, as tho hall could boast a piano nnd tho school had nono. Dan had asked and received per mission to sing a hymn In honor of tho minister, who was to be pres ent Dan had a sweot voico ana plenty of confidence. On tho day, of tho ontortainment ho camo forward to tho platform and In a high-pitched monotono announced Impressively, My God It's too high I" nnd stopped. There was a horrlflod silenco whllo tho teacher struggled to control her volco. "Dan hns always rehearsed with tho piano," oho explained. "Be gin again, Dan, and pitch It lower this time." To tho relief of tho audience Dan began again, "My God, from out whoso bounteous hand " and finished without further mishap. Why He Cut His Hair. Thoro Is a certain surgeon in Boston who hnd, somo months ago, a very splendid crop of hair. Although tho Burgeon is not old, his hair Is snow- white, and ho is very proud of Its boauty. Ho woro it parted in tho mid dlo and rather long, and it fluffed luxuriantly on elthor side of tho part Tho ImpulBo toward a chango in halr- drcsslng camo to tho surgeon in this manner: Ho had operated upon a woman, and was bending over hor as sho began to como out of tho ether. Sho oponcd her eyes for a moment, and then closed them again. Then with a long sigh nnd in a rapt voice she Bald: "What a beautiful whlto chrysanthemum!" Tho students preS' ont exploded, and now the surgeon wears his nair cut as closo as a gen tleman may. The Proudest Moment Oh, no! A fellow's proudest mo ment was not tho tlmo ho camo out on top In his first scrap with "tho kid next door." Nor was It tho first time ho "saw" Mary Jane homo from tho pnrty. Nor, again, was it when Bho "named tho day." It wasn't when ho made his biggest business deal; got his largest raise; bocamo n partner In tho concern and was paying an lncomo tax. And whllo this, too, was a proud mo ment, tho proudest of all was not whon tho first-born camo, nor was it whon tho youngster first lisped "dado." All tnoso wero big moments, mo ments most overy follow remembors long and happily, but tho real proud est moment was the first time whon Ho woro hlB first pair of long pants I He Wanted Bargains. A day or two ago a small boy with two pennies in his possession entered a local periodical store and spent some tlmo In selecting a postcard. Finding ono to suit him ho handed the pro prietor a penny. Tho prico of tho card was flvo contB and tho proprietor said ho did not havo any ponny cards, but tho wistful look on the boy's face prompted tho proprietor to pocket his loss and let tho boy keep tho card. Then tho boy produced his other pen ny and asked for a fountain pen, but the proprietor promptly refused to do any moro business with the youth ful bargain-hunter, remarking that tondlng storo was no Job for a nervous man.
