"A certain theatrical troupe, after a dreary and unsuccessful tour, finally arrived in a small New Jersey town. That night, though there was no furor or general uprising of the aud'ence, there was enough hand-clappfcig to arouse the troupe's dejected spirits. The leading man stepped to the foot lights after the first act and bowed profoundly. Still the clapping con tinued. When- he went behind the scenes he saw an Irish stage hand laughing heartily. "Well, what do you think of that?" asked the actor, throwing out his chest. "What d'ye mean?" inquired the Irishman. "Why, the hand-clapping out there," was the reply. "Hand-clapping?" ""Yes," said the Thespian, "tbc-y are giving me enough applause to show they appreciate me." "D' ye call that applause?' inquired the old fellow. "Whoi, thot's not ap plause. Tuot's the audience killin" mosquitoes." Everybody's Magazine. Returned Him. A man returned to his native villago after having emigrated to Kansas some 20 years previous. He asked about different villagers he had known in the old days, and finally of the town drunkard of his time. "Oh, he's dead," was the reply. "Well, well: dead and buried is he?" "Nope; they .didn't bury him." "Didn't bury him!" exclaimed the former resident". "Well, then, what did they do with him?" "Oh, they just poured him back la tfce jus." Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory If proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening tlie goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of .your work. ' Revenge's Furious Appetite. He who. from a natural sweetness and facility of temper, should despise injuries received, would doubtless do a very great and a very laudable thing; but he who, provoked and nettled to the quick by an offense, should fortify himself with the arms of reason against the furious appetite of revenge, and, after a great conflict, master his own passion, would doubt "less do a great deal more. Montaigne. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great im iwrtance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its groat strength as a stiffen er makes half the usual quantity of Staich necessary, with tiie result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods weie new. Insect Chemists.

The preach er had not yet arrived. Hencath tlu trees sat the wise men of the commu nity; and when old Lim Jucklin got out of his wagon, conducted his wife to the door and came walking hack with his hands behind him, a young fellow well trained in manners arose to give the chicken-fighting oracle a seat. He sat down, with his back against a tree, put his hat on the ground beside him, uttered the neces sary commonplaces incident upon meeting his friends, saw a needed rain coming within two days, and then after a "short silence remarked: "I see that a jedge over at Raleigh in grantiif a divorce says there don't ap pear to lie any doubt of the fact that marriage is a failure. From time to time within the past few years I have hearn somethin' about this here fail ure on the part of marriage, but neve put my mind down on it till one of our own jedges rendered his decision In the matter." Then 'Squire Hrizintine spoke up. "And does it seem to you, Limuel. that he has got anywhere close down to the truth?" Out of his hat tlie old man took his !red bandanna handkerchief, wiped his brow, and, spreading the handker chief across his knees, replied that it was a matter that needed some little investigation. "Take the case of little Sammy Peel." said he. ".Mar ried the widder Buntin. that weighs 290. Don't appear to htvc been a failure in his case." The boys laughed and 'Squire Hrizintine blew his nose with a loud snort, for it was known that not long after the death of his wife he had paid court to the widow. "It is a question." old Lim contin ued, "that is a aggitatin of society, and has been I ieckon since the Lord first llung open the front door of time. And it is a subject that so many folks are related to one way or another that it sorter makes a feller feel sad to think about the opinion of the jedge over at Raleigh. But the only way to find out whether or not a thing is true is to start an aggitation and keep it a goin'. There are thousands of men that stand ready to come for ward and swear that human life it self is a failure, and has been ever since old Noah drank too much of his own .wine. There is a way to Iook at everything and make it a failure. The Gospel itself is only a success in spots. And I reckon its putty much that way with marriage. If the right spots ain't found it ain't the fault of the institution of marriage, but is error in the jedgment of man." "But how about the jedgment of woman?" 'Squire Hrizintine put in. and the boys smiled, for in the neigh borhood it was well known that the 'Squire and his wife had with their dissensions awakened the echoes of many a dark night. Old Lim sat smoothing his hand kerchief across his knees. "Well." said he, "with woman the question of marriage comes up before she has jedgment enough to make a good de cision. We know that at 20 a boy is nothin' but a boy. but we expect a girl at that age to be ripe enough to take chaige of a household. At 20 I had jest about sense enough to take a rabbit out of a trap. Didu't have enough to keep out of a trap myself. We talk about many virtues, but, after all, looks, eyes, smiles and hair are the main points to be consid ered in the question of marriage, and as these things appeal more to woman than to man, she is in the way to make more mistakes. Common sense ought to tell women that good-lookln' men don't make the best husbands: but that's wheie the trouble lies the lack of common sense. A curl hangin' low over a forehead and a sort of tune to a laugh counts more with the aver age girl than the multiplication table. And there may be more of showy love in the curl, but it won't build as many fires in the kitchen stove. Any feller smiles when he goes a courtin. but the feller that is most useful to ? community and at home is the one that smiles some when he's at work. The happiest time of a girl's life is when she is engaged, for then she has the dazzlin' promise of somethin that ain't likely to be fulfilled. The hero that she is goin to, marry gig gles and titters like June water a babblin' down over moss-kivered rocks, but if weighed and put up for sale in the market of common sense, he wouldn't fetch as much as a side of bacon. The trouble is she takes him on looks, and he takss her the same way. and after they have been married awhile they find that their minds are total strangers." "But how would you remedy it?" some one inquired. "I can't remedy It and I wouldn't. It would be an interference with natur'. In the days of old it was thought, and it is still alive in the minds of smart men. that'a good big part of the human family was born to be damned, and I reckon it was in tended that a certain number of mar riages were intended to be failures. And marriage is more of a failure now than ever before, because there are more people to get married. The more folks the more misery. If a man and a woman do the best they can and their marriage turns out bad it can't be helped. Divorce is a blight on society, ii s true, but to live with somebody tlat ain't suited to you is a blight on the mind and the heart. We may have a good many lives to live; of that we can't tell, but we do know of one, and when that one is ruined, why we are in what the black bear said to the trap a well, you know what sort of a fix. AH the wisdom now known to man might be poured out on marriage and wouldn't help it much. I know it's called high morality to talk against u:orces, ana divorces ao snow a loose state of affairs, but what's to be done? Divorce is most scandalous to them that don't want it. Two enemies livin together ain't likely to have writ iu their hearts: 'God bless our home,' and a home that the Lord don't bless ain't a comfortable seat for society. "I knew'of a high-spirited feller that married a tight-strung woman over in the hills of Tennessee. And it wan't long till they fell out. She called him a liar and he swore that she never had uttered a truth, and that was goin' fur, considerin' of the fact that she talked a good deal. I. think she flung somethin' at him, a butcher knife, mebby; and he 'lows: 'If you were a man I'd 'know how to treat you. I'd challenge you to fight a duel.' 'Well, don't let the fact that I'm a woman stand in your way,' she spoke up. 'I'm as good a shot as you are. and if you want to settle it on that basis I'm your man.' So they agreed to fight. They did. She shot him in the shoulder. He declared that he was satisfied, and she 'lowed that she didn't have nothin' to complain of. Then she yoked up the steera, hauled him to the house, nursed hiu till he got well; and ever ifterwaro they lived as happy as two doves. It Ecems to me that one of the reasons why there arc more divorces now is on account of the fact that children have gone out of fashion. Men and women arc shirking the responsibility of a family and that develops a weak ness of character. I have seen many a man burdened with a big family, but N the fiftieth year of the life of .Ta bcz Holtite, the multi- millionaire, the thought came to him that it might be good for his soul if he gave away in charity some of the mon ey that he had reached out and picked up right and left since hie "p i c k e r s and stealers" had been strong enough to clutch. Jabez had never troubled churches by his presence and he did Jiot know that there is an injunction that you let not your left hand know what your right hand doeth. And yet in acquiring his wealth it must be said tnat he had unwitting ly carried out the spirit of that pre cept, for many of the doings of his right hand were of so questionable a nature that he had kept his left hand in darkness for very shame. But (to speak fair) if the right hand had known of some of the deeds of the left hand it would have blushed. Oh, they were a good pair of hands, those hands of the multi-millionaire! Ever faithful to his material interests had (hey been, but now he was afraid that his chance of heaven would be meager if they did not together act as almoners of course, with a prop er "barker" before them to trumpet forth their good deeds to an admiring woild. So Jabez Holtite sent for a re porter and said to him: "What is the best way to let the world know that I am not merely an acquirer ofwealth, but that all my money-getting has had but one object, the final giving away of all my goods to the poor?" The reporter said: "You might ad vertise on our financial page to this effect: 'Jabez Holtite, . millionaire, wishes to divide his wealth among the really deserving. Address him at the iosto(fice. naming amount desired and giving your oath to requite him by spreading abroad the good report of his generosity.' " Jabez looked troubled. "I am afraid that would be too widespread - in its effect." said he. "I expect to live many years, and did not intend to give ou the impression that I wished to divest myself of my means as a man divests himself of his shirt at once. 1 thought I would be willing to give something like a thousand dol lars to some well-known institutiqn, and I am willing perfectly willing to talk about it to the extent of a column in your paer." The reporter grew an inch. "Mr. Holtite," said he, "if you are actually going to give a thousand dollars to any sort of a charitable institution, or even to a college, and will promise to let no newspaper hear of it' before we have a chance to give it publicity, we will be glad to devote our" whole first page to it because it will be in the nature of absolutely startling news. You have never given a cent to any one in your life, as I under stand it?" "Never, unless I was sure 1 would get two cents in return," said Jabez, with a proud smile. "Then 1 suggest that you give your money to seme institution that is already heavily endowed and that will thus be worthy of "your unexampled generosity." And the reporter named such an institution. Then he took down in great detail all the facts in the life of Jabez as seen by the miHionaire himself, get ting thereby a picture of the man that no one else in the wide world i Rad I never saw one that wasn't more to be envied than the man that had no children at all. There ain't in this life nothin' more to.bfe deplored than a childless old age. I'd ruther be a haungry dog shut up in a church. More men have been saveH by their children than by all the moral lessons ever printed. And women well, a woman that tells you she don't like children, and then proves it by her acts, may blaze with beauty and raise more money for the furriers than any body, but in my opinion she ain't as much to be admired as a dish of sour milk skimmed three times. Last summer a woman came from town out here, and when I saw her pullin of her skirts back every time a child came near her L said to myself that she must be powerful neat, but when I saw7 her kiss a bull pup I 'lowed to myself I'd ruther it was the pup than me. Well, some things can't be helped. Man started off wrong some' time ago, and has been goin' faster and faster ever since, it seems like. But an old detective in Chicago told me that his experience proved to him that 90 per cent, of men were honest. 1 asked him if his town wan't made up mostly of the other ten per cent. He didn't say nothin' more and I didn't apologize. Yes, we are on the slant, but youngsters that are tod dlin' now will in the years to come, when they are walkin stiff in the j'ints, look back at these, tlie good old times Here conies the preacher. Let's go in, boys." (Copyrisht. by Opie liad ) would have painted, and worth at least six columns to the reporter. The reporter was of a grateful dis position and, knowing that this inter view would spell success for him, he wished to make a return to Jabez. and being not only grateful but also wag gish, the form of his return was as follows: "Mr. Holtite," said he. "charity is charily, and a good deed much blown about penetrates to remote places and is put to (he credit of the doer of the deed: but if the good deed can be made to bear immediate fruit, if your bread conies back on tlie return wave, so to sueak, you will probably stand for a long time on the beach chucking loaves into the sea." "Go on," sa:d Jabez; "I am listen ing." "My. idea is." said the reporter, "and I hope you will take my frank ness in the proper spirit, that the public would as soon believe that William of Germany was a puppet, as that you, Jabez Holtite. would actual ly give away money, and 1 think there are thousands in this great city who would gladly give a dollar apiece to see you in the act" "Ah. I know 1 am a wonder as an acquisitor," said Jabez, mentally hugging himself. "Sure." said the reporter. "Xqw why not 'hire Madison Square garden, erect a platform in the middle of the arena and give away a thousand dol lars every li-nur on the stroke of the clock? You might also give them a 15-minute talk on how to become a millionaire on a capital of two cents and an atrophied conscience. You catch my point?" "Why, certainly." said Jabez. "Young man. you have a brilliant future." The whole world knows the result. Madison -Square garden was crowded every hour at a dollar a head. And every hour, at the stroke of the clock, Jabez Holtite gave to well known and influential institutions a thousand dollars and a 15-minute talk worth a thousand more to persons with the proper consciences, and he felt that it was well worth giving when the gate receipts were so large. He came to think that it would have been better for him if he had be gun to give sooner in life, and his mouth grew less hard solely from the human feelings that surged up in his heart every time he handed out a check for a thousand dollars and real ized that the garden was packed at a dollar per. At the end of the week he had given away $50,000 and had taken in $500,000, and then, to show that his regeneration was genuine, he hired the garden for another week and doubled the price of admission, doubling also his gift. And to show- that he was no ingrate he gave the reporter a ser son pass and allowed him to interview him every day. And at times he could hear his own heart beat, and then he knew that he had become generous. And his reputation as a cheerful giver was almost as great at the end or the sec ond week as his former reputation for meanness. It all depends upon the way it's done. (Copyright, by James Pott c Co.

But He Had, to Play Mean Trick on Himself to Do It. Anold gentleman in" a villago not far from Glasgow breakfasted every morning on porridge, and, in order to save fuel, cooked a whole .week's sup ply1 every Saturday. One Friday morn ing the stuff seemed very cold and very salt, and he felt he must abandon the struggle to eat It. But his stub born nature forbade any such thought. So he fetched the whisky from the cupboard, poured out a glass and placed it before him on the table. "Now, Sandy," said he. "if ye eat that parritch ye'll hae that whisky, an' if ye don't ye won't." He stuck again at the last spoon ful, but keeping his eye steadily on the glass of whisky, he made a bold, brave effort, and got it down. Then he slowly and carefully poured back the whisky into the bottle with a groad grin, as he said to himself: "Sandy, my lad. I did ye thot time, ye ould fule!" BUYING PAINT BLINDLY. Many people look upon paint buy Ing as a lottery and so it is, the way they do it. It is not necessarily so, however. Pure White Lead and lin seed oil are the essential elements of good paint. Adulterants in white lead can be easily found by- the use of a blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil can be detected with a fair degree of certainty. See tjiat these two elements are pure and properly put on and the paint will stay put. National Lead Company, Wood bridge.
