Talking about bookkeeping there used to be n man In Yankton whose system of bookkeeping accounts was wonderfully efficient He kept a hotel and he could neither read nor write Ho did not know how to spell his own name but he did a thriving business and collected every dollar of his ac counts Once years ago when I first came to this country I went to his ho tel and stopped there two weeks writes Milt Brinben When I loft he Dresented me with a statement of what I owed him and was a curiosity He had copied it from his ledger At the top of -the sheet there was a rude picture of a soldier on the march and after it three straight marks Then there was a scene show ing a man at table eating Then ap peared a bed wjth a man in it In the amount column there was a picture of a doll and after it the two letters RS After the picture of a man eating there were forty two marks after the view of the man in the bed fourteen marks I looked at the account then at the proprietor and told him it would take me a week to answer that conundrum I was completely stumped and when that hotel man deciphered the amount for me It was this The picture of the soldier walking meant march and the three marks supplied the date March 3 when I began boarding The man I the table with forty two marks after inuicaieu uiui ieals I had eaten forty two JL11U man lli bed with fourteen really a favorite with the

different from that in vogue in this country A typical shop Is a square room with one side open to the street In the center is a tiny bed of flowers sunk In the floor from the middle of which rises an octagonal stone column about three feet high The capital of the column forms a receptacle for the water in which the barber dips his hand as he shaves his customers scalp In Persia they do not lather The shop is very clean In two recessea stand four vases filled with flowers and the Implements of the barbers art scissors razors lancets hand mirrors large pinchers to extract teeth branding irons to cauterize the arteries in amputating limbs strong combs but not a hairbrush for that implement is never used by Persians From the barbers girdle hang a round copper water bottle his strop and a pouch to hold his instruments In his bosom is a small inirror the presentation of which to his customers is a sign that the job Is finished and that the barber waits for his pay The barber shaves the heads of his Custom ers dyes their beards pulls their teeth blisters and bleeds them when ailing sets their broken bones and shampoos their bodies Exchange Strangle Lapse of Memory Cases of forgetfuluessnm

relative tT the Jt ish Pass over He wrote outMhe result of his researches aud laid the paper away His attention and time being taken with something else some little time elapsed before the subject occurred to his mind again Then the same time and pains were given to the subject that had been given to it before and the results were again put on paper and laid aside So completely had he forgotten that he had copied the same paragraphs and reflections before that it was only when he had found the papers on which he had transcribed them that it was recalled to his recol lection This same author

the Immortal Gcorjcc Wear Ar tlflclal or Natural Oncnf George Washingtons false teeth which were supposed to have been made of ivory are giving a certain class of freak historians about as much trouble as they must have given the venerable patriot who wqre them said one of the professors of the Smithsonian institution to a reporter recently Many times a year for sqveral years this Institution has been called upon to nroduce these mysterious teeth for the Insnection of persons who insist that they are here Our matter of fact answer to these Inquiries that Washington had no false teeth or at least If he did that they are not in the possession of the mu seum seems only to stimulate the in quiring mind to protest our statement They proceed to give us authentic ac counts of these teeth and always con clude with expressing the belief that they must be in the museum some where Where or how the idea that Wash ington had false teeth originated is an unsolved mystery That it Is firmly be lieved by many is certainly a fact There seefns to be no authentic record of the Father cf nis Country possess ing ivory teeth and by atudy of the bust we have of him which was made but a few years before his death there is no indication of an indentation along the line of the gums such as can be noticed in persons who have had their teeth drawn even though they wear artificial ones However we will con tinue to answer the same question in the same way probably many times In the future According to some biographers Washington lost his teeth during his service as commander in chief of the Continental army and had a set of ivory ones made These teeth it is also stated gave him much trouble be cause they did not fit Washington Star RAILWAY RUMBLES Ireland claims the honor of the first electric railway in the United King dom It Is said that the cheapest railway fares in the world are to be found in Hungary Denmark has a government railroad system of 11G7 miles and 523 miles of private railroads The Servian Roumanian and Bulga rian railroads are owned exclusively by the respective governments Travelers on Prussian railways whose baggage through no fault of their own fails to arrive with them can now have It sent on request free to their houses The difficulty of railway construction in some parts of Africa is illustrated by the fact that on the line in Sierra Leone eleven steel bridges had to be built in a distance of only thirty kilometers A representative of the Paris Temps has been examining railway stations in Germany and he declares that those of Dresden Cologne Hanover Frankfort Bremen etc are far superior to any of the French except the Parisian Paying a Creditor Like many another famous man both before his time and since Talleyrand exhibited at least in early life a great reluctance to settling with his credit ors When he was appointed bishop of Autun by Louis XVI he considered a fine new coach to be necessary to the proper maintenance of the dignity of that office Accordingly a coach was ordered and delivered but not paid for Some time after as the newly appoint ed bishop was about to enter his coach he noticed a strange man standing near why bowed continually until the coach wa driven away This occurred for several days until at length Talley rand addressing the stranger said Well my good man who are you I am your coachmaker my lord replied the stranger Ah said Talleyrand you are my coachmaker And what do you want my coachmaker f I want to be paid my lord Ah you are my coachmaker and you want to be paid You shall be paid my coachmaker But when my lord Hum said Talleyrand settling himself comfortably among the cush ions of his new coach and eying his coachmaker severely you are very inquisitive Salad Eating Good Sense Even men are progressing gastronom ically Scientific dietetics has at last revealed to us the fact that the woman who eats salad on a hot day in July August or September Is displaying sound
