A Way Out.
A broker and bunker, who was n
member of the Russian relief commit
tee that had in charge tlie transporta
tion of food to Russia from Philadel
phia a few years ago during i famine,
likes to tell of an unusual experience
he had while soliciting for the relief
fund. In speaking of It ho said: "I
tell it because it shows tho speed with
which some people think. I called on
a man who was always a generous
contributor to charity. He was out
of sorts when I saw him and after I
explained my mission he said: ‘You
fellows arc always begging for some
thing' 1 was taken aback for a few
seconds and when I recovered myself
1 asked. ‘What would you do if the
wolf wore at your door?' He stared
at me in a terrifying manner for a
sci ond and then blurted out, 'Why,
you tool. I would eul the wolf' I no

he was still wati-lflng me sharply. I
have never served on a relic! commit

fashion of Wearing Cockade Origin
ated in Strings That Served
a Useful Purpose.
Tin- (ockade originated simply in
the knot oi ribbons or strings by
whirli Hu b ead Haps of (he seven

One weather, ami thus originated tlie
three-cornered hat, as well as the
cocked hat of later times. There was
nothing specially military about tlie
usage, us the ignorant assert. The
same strings survive in the loops of
the hats of bishops and other ecclesi
astical dignitaries in Great Britain;
in tlie strings of tlie hats worn by
French cures and Spanisli and Italian
padres and in the cords which are still
seen on the hats of some livery ser
vants.
B naturalh became tlie custom for
military men to "cock" their hats with
the livery color of the prince they
served, and as the Hanoverian color
was tin- convenient one of black, the
"black cockade" became associated in
tlie minds of the people will; military
uniform. In an old Scotch song of
Shiramuir. citing Woodwartl's herald
ry, we read of "the red coal lads with
black cockades," and a knot of white
ribbons was naturally chosen as the
badge of their opponents. When the
old use of Uie strings was forgotten,
the knot, in the form of a rosette of
ribbon, survived, just as did the but
tons on the backs ol our coats, which

Italian in Deadly Peril Saved Himself
by Feat That Few Could
Duplicate,
V little knowledge is u dangerous
tiling to the man who handles dyna
mite. Italian laborers who never
read up on explosives and have no
superstitions about them seldom are
injured through am faulty handling
of their own. II your dynamite
freezes, thaw it out. if you drop an
armful of it on the ground all you
have to do is to pick it up.
Some Italian laborers were digging
.1 well. They got down about a dozen I
feet and struck rock. The foreman !
improvised a ladder, drilled a hole and
inserted a half pound of dynamite.
He lighted an ordinary luse aud
scrambled up the ladder. Before he
reached the surface his i:.skf hift lad- 1
dor broke and down he tumbled al- i
most on top of the spluttering fuse.
Many ter educated man would
have realized his awful peril to the
exclusion of every e ther thought. The
Italian foreman whipped out his pock
et knife and clipped off the burning
fuse. When lie appeared at tlie sur
face, grinning, lie exhibited the cart
ridge with a bare inch of fuse stick
ing in it.
Drawings and Paintings.
The first sketch from nature which
a great artist makes nearly always
has a freshness which he only labors
away in the picture he bases on it;
and the rough pencil or charcoal lines
of tlie former frequently rev I more
of his feeling toward his subj' ct than
all hia anxious manipulations of the
brush. That is why it is so exceeding
ly worth while to collect and cata
logue every scrap of drawing that
once littered a great painter's studio.
Ills drawings give you his intentions;
his paintings do not always give you
their fulfillment. It is true that a
diuwing is iucompleie, mu therein lies
Its charm. Possessing a drawing you
possess a hope, and hope is better for
mortals—'T P.'s Weekly.

Dear friend:
Have you gone back
to school? I have.
What do you have for
lunch? I get some nice
cookies and chipped
beef and cheese and
things at the grocery.
Mama says its lots
nicer and cheaper and
lots less trouble than
baking things for me.
And then Mama helps
me with my lessons too.
And she says that is
better than spending
so much time in the
kitchen. Vour friend,
Jacob.
P. S. That's why she
gets so many things all
ready to eat at
