Weather 1b the one topic of conver sation that never grows out of date. We are almost as nearly at the mercy of the sunshine, the rain and the snow storm as we were a century ago. Therefore we always Beau the sky when we'got up in the nioruing. It is almost instinctive, even with the city dweller. No farmer fails to take a long look at the sky when he flrst rises, for on the weather will depend hla activities during the day. JEWELER HAD BEEN ANXIOUS Could Think of But One Reason for George Ade's Seeming Desertion of Him. George Ade was one of the princi pal speakers at a recent banquet of the Illinois Manufacturers' associa tion. "When I was a cub reporter,", lie confessed, "struggling along on a minute salary, I had just one asset in life which enabled me to 'tide over' that, period in every week when pov erty seemed to be staring me in the face.' This consisted of a handsome gold watch, a keepsake of college days in Indiana. Tuesday was pay day at the newspaper office. By Fri day I would be 'broke,' and I would tote the watch over to the pawnshop to a man who now conducts a hand some Jewelry shop on State street. On the watch I obtained five dollars, and by administering my affairs care fully I managed to worry through un til pay-day. Then when I had re ceived my small salary I would hurry to the pawnbroker's and release my watch. Finally, after this had gone along for many months, I received a raise In pay. It was enough to re lease me from the necessity of pawn ing my watch regularly. One after noon, about ten years afterward, I was accosted In State street by a man. I recognized my old pawnbrok er friend, now a prosperous jeweler. 'What's the matter, George?" were his first words. 'Did you lose that watch?' " BILL IS NOT YET RECEIPTED Plumber Could and Did Worthily Amend It, But There the Matter Rested. "Owing to the drain pipe In the kitchen sink becoming clogged with grease, water would not run through it," said Claude Cooper, ccmedian at the Warburton theater, Yonkers. "so the landlady of our boarding house called a plumber. He repaired ttie damage in less than twenty minutes after he arrived. Along about the first of the month he sent in his bill no, ho brought it himself. The land lady looked at the items, the total of which was $5.15. Amazed at the size of tho charge, she became sarcastic. "Haven't you forgotten something, Mr. Plumber?' she said, with a sneer. "The man took the bill and careful ly read the various items. 'Upon my word,' he exclaimed, 'I believe 1 have, lady,' and he made the following addl ional entry: To one and one-half hours time and trolley fares, going to shop and getting piece of lead pipe, $1.05.' Thank you, lady. That makes the total ?6.20.' " "Did the woman pay the money?" inquired Ramsey Wallace. "Do the robins nest in January? No. the woman hung up the bill, and it is still hanging. That was two years ago." N. Y. Press. Modern Mcther-in-Law. Wife, at the Breakfast Table Henry dear, mother writes that she is coming down to visit us for a week. Henry (enthusiastically) Bully! It seems an age since she's been down to eee us and I've just been thinking we ought to have her come But can't she stay more than a week? There are a lot of good shows and things she'd enjoy and besides I want to play a good long series of chess with her and a week will hardly start us. Write her we want her fcr a month. Wife I'll try to get her for that long, Henry, but you know she can only get away from heme once in a great while for a few days, and she's got to divide up her time between three daughters. Arthur and his wife and Mary and Charlie would be really angry : if she didn't spend as much time with" them as with us. Henry Well, do your best. Honest ly,' Mary, your mother is a jolly good fellow, as I've told you before, and we can't have too much of her. Expedition Across Greenland. The Swiss Society of Naturalists is raising funds to enable Dr. A. de Quervaln to undertake a ' journey across the inland ice of Greenland, from Disco bay, on the west eoast, to Angamagsalik, the only - inhabited place on the east coast. The expedi tion expects to leave Europe on the steamer Hans Egede April 1, 1912, and to start eastward from Disco bay the middle of June. It is expected that four weeks will be required for the Journey, but provisions for twice that time will be carried. Two members of the expedition are to remain on the west coast of Greenland until the spring of 1913 to carry on glaciological and aerological studies the latter in connection with similar observations that are to be made at the same time on the east coast of Greenland, in Ice land, and la Spitzbergen. American Manners. Frederick Townsend Martin, at a dinner in New York, criticized Amer ican manners wittily. "Kipling," he said, "declares truly that a gentleman has manner, while a would-be gentleman has manners. We should remember that We lay too much stress on such details as taking off our hats when we go up in the elevator with a scrubwoman. "In fact, in everything, we seem to search too uneasily for the correct, the modish, course. A society editor told me the other day that he had Just got a letter from a young wom an that ran: " 'Dear Editor Please state who. should keep up the instalments on tho ring when the engagement is brokeni off.'" TOUCHED HUGO'S KIND HEART Great Frenchman Aided Beggar With Verse of Much More Worth Than Money. A Frenchman, writing recently upon "The Mendicants of Paris,'" recalls a pretty anecdote of Victor Hugo and a blind beggar. The beggar was an old soldier, very feeble and quite sight less, who was led every day by his little granddaughter to a certain street corner, where he waited pa tiently for such scanty alms as the hurrying public might drop into a small box that hung from his neck. One day a group of gentlemen halt ed near him, chatting, and he heard the name by which they called the one who lingered longest. Reaching forward as he, too, was about to go, he caught him by the coat. What do you want, my good man?" asked the gentleman. "I have already given you two sous." "Yes, monsieur, and I have thanked you," replied the veteran. "It Is some thing else that I want." "What Is it?" "Verses." "You shall have them," said the gen tleman; and he kept his word. The next day the blind soldier bore on his breast a placard with a stanza to which was appended the name of Vic tor Hugo; and the arms In the box were quintupled. The lines may be thus translated: Like Belisarius and like Homer blind. Led by a young child on his pathway dim. The hand that aids his need, pitying and kind. He will not see, but God will see for him. Youth's Companion. NOT ON SECURE FOUNDATION Engineer Explains Why Some Build ings Shake When Particularly Heavy Wagon Goes By. "What makes a building shake as if it had the ague every time a truck with a twenty-ton girder rumbles by?" an engineer was asked. "Only the buildings whose founda tions do not go down to bed rock shake," he replied. "The occupants of the building that rests on rock never know when a heavy load passes it. The man in tie building whose foundations go down just a few feet below the cellar floor, and stop in the subsoil, often imagines he is in the center of an earthquake. "When the wagon bearing the beam goes traveling along it bumps over the inequalities of the street with tre mendous force, and this imparts wave motions to the soil, which in turn transfer the vibrations to the old style foundations, which sway and shake and tremble. The foundations whose piers rest on bed rock are not affected. A twenty-ton beam, as It slips from one paving stone to an other, imparts a force to the ground that may be likened to a constant bombardment, but because the wave of motion proceeds in constantly Tvidening circles, and hence in con stantly diminishing force distributed all over the foundation, no. harm re sults. If the force were all driven at one point the effect would be like that of a projectile from a battle ship." Clever Birds. Record has recently been made of a canary bird that displays almost hu man intelligence. The bird in ques tion acts as guard over a sleeping child, singing shrilly at any sign oi danger. The bird is allowed the free dom of the house and never showa any desire to escape into the free air. At night it will perch itself on the baby's cradle and such seems to be its liking for the child that if anyone approaches to disturb its slumber, it showB spirited signs of its displeasure. A man in London prizes a parrot for its intelligence. The bird -is aa valuable about the man's house aa any patent burglar alarm he could buy. The parrot is always on guard. If anyone approches the house, the bird, sets up such a commotion' that if the person is bent on evil, .. he ia Immediately frightened away. Rush Hour in Indianapolis. The "Sardine Special" on the Irv ington street car line last night car ried 141 passengers, or rather the conductor on the special collected 141 fares. There were some that he did not get because the special was at the belt before the conductor , could be hoisted through the . various de partments of the car. ' ' There were ' thirty-five : on the rear platform, figured on a cubic capacity basis. There was no other way tc estimate it, as legs, bodies and heads were wedged to such a degree that it was practically impossible to tell -to whom each belonged. The seating capacity of the car is forty-one, so that an even 100 passengers' that were standing paid fares. Indianap olis News. , Frenchman's Strange Mania. The latest monomaniac to .make his appearance in Paris, is a man who is obsessed with the idea of. snip ping every fur he meets. He lies in .wait for women who are wearing cost ly furs, and stealthily cuts them and makes off.' When a woman left a metropolitan train at the Place de la Concorde, she found that half of a costly blue fox-fur she wore had been cut off. She went to the near est police station and made a com plaint, and learned that numerous women had already been there on tl sane rrand. RIGHT CHILDHOOD IS MODEST Weil-Bred Youngster Does Not Think. That It Knows Everything, Says Ruskln. The first character of right child hood is that it is modest. . A well bred child does not think it can teach its parents, or ttat it knows every thing. It may think its father and mother know everything perhaps that all grown-up people know every thing; very certainly it is sure that it does not. And it is always asking questions, and wanting to know more. Well, that is the flrst character of a good and wise man at his work. , To know that he knows very little; to perceive that there are many above him wiser than he, and to be always asking' questions, wanting to learn, not to teach. No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern; it is an old saying (Plato's, but I know not if his, first), and as wise as old. Then, the second character of right childhood Is to be faithful. Perceiv ing that its father knows best what is good for it, and having found al ways, when it has tried its own way against his, that he was right and it was wrong, a noble child trusts him at last wholly, gives him its hand, and will walk blindfold with him. if he bids it. And that Is the true char acter of all good men also, as obe dient workers, or soldiers under cap tains. Ruskin. THINK TOO MUCH OF MONEY Many Persons Lose Chance of Happy Marriage by Exaggerating the Value of Wealth. Scores of people lose their chances of being happily married through mak ing an unnecessary obstacle of mon ey. The importance of it is often ex aggerated. Many a man hesitates to propose to a girl because of his small Income. Very often much misery, mis understanding, and tangled lives result from the silence. More unfortunate love affairs are the result of what has not been said than of spoken words. When a man has a small, sure in come, and a prospect of increase, there is no legitimate reason for his not speaking of his love; no reason, for that matter, to prevent marriage. People are so desperately afraid, though, of beginning married life in a small way. They fear the sacrifices which they will be called upon to make of the criticism to which they will be subjected. Many years of happi ness are lost in this way. It is such a mistake for young people to want to start marriage in the state that their parents are ending it. To delay marriage until a "comfor table" income is available is to prove something lacking in the love. An swers. Better Keep t!ie Boy. At nightfall the junior partner's ex ullation of the day changed to chagrin and he clamored noisily for the errand boy's dismissal. "Better think it over," the senior partner advised, "Why waste time in thinking," the junior retorted, "when he's got to go? Here I am, lying awake every night for a week planning an. effective win dow decoration, which is turned into a laughing stock the first day by tho stupidity of that boy, who leaves threa yards of blue woolen dust rag draped around silver tankards and trays of diamonds." ' ' ' "Well," said the elder jeweler, "people stopped and looked, didn't they?" "Yes, but what of it? That dust rag?" growled the junior. "That's why I advise you to keep the boy," advised the senior mildly. "If it hadn't been for him I am afraid no body would have looked at all." In Praise of Courage. Certain virtues are divided from vices by so narrow a line that we must discern very clearly to see the differ ence. Few men can distinguish pride lroin vanity; perseverance from stub bornness; economy from avarice.. The same is true of courage as distin guished from effrontery. The courag-e-ous man must have ambition, not r.-.erely dream of what he would like to have. The audacious have been found fault with for their brutality in overcoming all obstacles but force i3 necessary to accomplish any real pur pose. Chicago American. Two Pickerel on One- Line. A humble and honest fisherman who set his traps for pickerel ' on' a Maine pond the other day is ready to make affidavit as follows: "I hereby declare on oath that I did catch. two pickerel on one hook. The first pick erel swallowed the bait and didn't like it Apparently he tried to cough it up. At any rate he spewed the hook out under his gills and it floated off In the water to be grabbed by a second pickerel. Thus there came up two pickerel, all strung on a line. Lewlston Journal.
