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.

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.
