NTERSTATE
TO BE HELD AT
REUNION
When the Thompsons catno In from
their brisk Sunday afternoon walk,
cheerful and happy, Mrs. Thompson
deposited her wonderful millinery cre
ation on the table In the reception
hall, Then she 'hastened Into the
kitchen to prepare one of her delight
ful Sunday evening suppers, which
Thompeon says are entirely without
equals In the cultnnay line.
Thompson removed his hat and coat
and Uien wandered Into the kitchen
after his wife. He has a way of "tag
ging" her about the house. This Is
due partly to the fact that ho Is an ab
stractly social creature and partly to
the strange clrcuniBtanco that he has
a particular predilection for his wife's,
society. Presently he drifted Into the
pantry and returned with a small yel
low skinned onion In his hand.
"What do you call this beautiful ob-'
Ject?" he Inquired facetiously.
His wife considered this attempt at,
witticism quite .unworthy of notice.
She merely instructed him to put the
onion back where It belonged or he
would be smelling like an onion patch.
After dipping around Into various
things which he should hare left alone,
Thompson left the kitchen, still hold
ing the onion in his band. On his way
to the living room he pawed through)
the hall and there, spying the Sunday
hat of Mrs. ThompHon, ho wan moved
to separate the feathers and other bi
jouterie which adorned It and to(
drop the recently acquired redolent
root Into tlio nest thus arranged.
After this frisky deed ho went Into
the living room and soon forgot his lit
tle Joke.
Calling Llfe-Preserver a "Belt" Caused
the Loss of Many Lives In Boor-
gegne Disaster.
A vlrld Illustration of tho power of
mere words over human beluga was
once bro ight to the attention of French
people by Franclsquo Snrcoy.
After tho wreck of tho Bourgogno
many passengers wero found floating
drowned with life preservers on.
Thesu life preservers were fastened
upon tho bodies but round the middle
instead of under the arms, and tho
greater weight of the upper part of
the body had tipped tho bend tinder
water and the person of course was
inevitably drowned.
Now It appears that tho greater
number of the persons bo drowned
were Fieneh. The French term for
life preservers Is eelnture do sauvo-.
tago, or "life saving belt." This word
eelnture suggests to the mind, In Its
moments of disorder and unreadiness
euch as a great catastrophe brings,
the Idea of putting on a belt, and, as
a belt Is put round tho waist and no-
whero else, the frightened person In
ettnctlvely adjusts the life preserver
close about the hips.
Tho result Is that as soon na the
person so provided falls Into the wa
ter, his body tips over, with the heav
ier part downward, and the head la
plunged beneath Die surface.
The word "belt," therefore, was the
cause of tho loss of many lives In the
BourgoKne disaster. Sarcey accord
ingly proposed to counteract tho fa-'
tal effect of the nrtlclo, and calling lit
a brasslcte, which Is a kind of waist,
and, by bringing tho word bras or
nrm to 111I111I, to teach people to put
a life preset ver on Just underneath

Owing to a series of domestic cata
clysms Airs. Thompson dressed for
tho ton given by Mrs. Lawton Mrs.
Iawton was quite the most aristocrat
ic person among Mrs. Thompson's ac
quaintances, so she was particularly
anxious to make a good appearance,
though she hated teas in a good deal
of a huriy. Sho entered the street
car which would take her nearest her
destination very much out of breath
and with one glove still only pui tly on.
9ho was too much occupied "with her
glove for a few momenta to be con
scious of extraneous things, but pres
ently her .thoughts became less con
centrated and Bhe began to perceive
a faint odor of oniona in the air. She
looked auspiciously at the woman who
sat next to her and the woman who
aat next to her looked suspiciously at
her. Before long the other woman, snif
fing the air with obvious Intent, rose
and took a seat as far away from
Mra. Thompson aa possible.
"Wall," murmured Mrs. Thompson,
indignantly to herself, "if people will
soak themselves in onions they have
to expect to be annoyed by the odor."
However, she was somewhat sur
prised to realize In a few moments
that, in spite of tho departure of the
woman the scent of onloua still hung
In tho atmosphere. With a slight ex
clamation of annoyance she glanced
sldewlso at tho woman on the other
stde of her and after a minute or so
followed the example of the first wom
an. For a short tlmo alio seemed to
have escaped the penetrating odor, but
when the little breeze caused by her
hasty movement had died down, the
onion odor once more demanded her
attention. It, became so Insistent that
she breathed a sigh of relief when
she reached her corner and left the
car.
Bhe was having a fairly good time
at the tea when the acquaintance with
whom she had been talking suddenly
put up a gloved hand and murmured
behind it: "Truly, it Is a horrible sus
picion, but I a in becoming more and
more convinced every minute that our
hostess is going to serve onions au
naturale on this festive occasion."
It was at this point that Mrs. Thomp
son began to feel distinctly uncomfort
able. Just how she could shed an
onion flavor everywhere she went she
was totally unable to Imagine, but if
the odor had no connection with her,
why did it follow her about so per
sistently ?
She was still turning this question
over uneasily In her mind, when Mrs.
Perkins, who lived two blocks from
her, approached her and invited her
to drive home with her In her electric
runabout. When they had gone only
a little distance Mrs. Perkins gave a
sudden exclamation of disgust. ,
"Do you smell onions?" she asked.
"Mrs. Thompson sniffed faint heart
edly. "I I believe I do,"she mur
mured, meekly.
"I do believe," concluded Mrs. Per
kins, vehemently, "that our chauffour
has been sleeping In the carl"
Inventor of First Practical Ones Wat
American Whose Idea Was Pat
ented by Another.
Friction mutches are n comparative
ly modern invention. They wero first
made by John Walker In Knglnnd, In
1827, but were rather crude nffalrH.
He improved them somewhat In 1833
by using phosphorus. Tho first really
practical friction mntch was made In
the I'nlU'd States In 1830 by 1,. C. Al
len of Sprlngtl(ld. Mass. lleforo this
time a clumsy form of match waH im
ported from France, which had to be
dipped (nto a bottle of sulphuric acid
before it could be lighted.
Thlu took a great deal of time and
trouble, and Allen, seeing tho neces
sity for friction matcheB, sot about to
make them, and succeeded. He neg
lected to patent them, however, and on
finally applying for letters patent
found that a man named Alonzo Phil
ips, who wns a peddler, had discov
ered through a third person the secrot
of making the matchos and bad al
ready obtained a patent. Thus Allen,
though tho real Inventor, was forced
to become a mere manufacturer under
another man's patent.
She was in the depths of depression
whon Thompson reached home. With-'
out delay Bhe poured her tale of woe
Into his ear. Aa she proceeded, his in
itial expression of Indiscriminate syra
party became tinctured with under
standing. Then the bright light of
comprehension spread over his face,
tbe corners of his mouth quivered with
mirth and at tbe, climax he gave vent!
to a shout of laughter.
"Oh7my dear' be said when he was
ab to speak, "you certainly will kill
me when I tell you."
Qo be did tell ber, but be was no
longer laughing when be reached the
end of his tale. In truth, be was'
obliged to address tbe latter part to'
ber Indignant back as rhe flew angrily
up tbe stairs.
Tbe price of peace was a new hat,
bigger and more wonderful than tho
one with tbe onion flavor.
Novel Insurance.
The good pcoplu of Frankfort seem
to have gone one better than tho ro
cent Innovation at Lloyd's to Insuro
against bad weather during holidays.
The Frankfurters have started a com
pany to Insure tho lives of dogs.
Whether tho policies are for endow
ment or annuities or for death only
wo do not know, nor Is tho name of
tho company given, hut a Paris con
temporary suggests that it will prob
ably bo tbo "JJundenJebenej-Blcher-unggeseilschaft,"
or 'something an-,
proachiug it. The Idea of Insuring
children's lives is not pleasant, but,
tho prospect of making money out
of the'death of the friend of man Is
more repellaut. Such an Idea was not,
In the notion stage when Lamartlne
declared, "Tho more I see of men tho
more I love -dogs." If It had been, the
aphorism would probably have been
more scathing.

his match. He had had lunch in a
restaurant in Washington conducted
principally for women. After finish

his teeth and struck a match. Defore
ho could light tho cigar, a red-haired
waitress ran up aud snatched the
weed out of-his mouth. Ho protested
vigorously.
"I smoko In tho Waldorf In Now

"I don't know nothin' 'bout tho Wnl

waitress with tho red hair, "an' I

went there by tho N. T. C. so as to
take advantage of the scenery along
that route; but I had to send my
