Lliii WANTED HER TURN Wciirvt Exactly Sympathy That Caus ed Small Girl to Make Pro test to Mother. Little Taidine lived up in the neighborhood of the Thomson school. She enjoyed a reputation of being exceedingly sympathetic, and she would weep over the delinquencies of her erring big brother, -who had a weakness for tying cans on docs' tails and "sicking" cats around the corner. One summer she accompanied her mother, brother and a small mascu line friend to the mountains and while there adopted a tiny black and white kitten. It was her constant companion, living night and day in her arms. But one morning the two I ys began to amuse themselves by tossing it into a mountain rivulet I'.iat trickled before the door. One boy would give it a pitch, watch it crawl out on the bank mewing, and then the other would take a "go." Presently Pauline fled to her mother bathed in tears. "Oh, mam ma!" she exclaimed, "brother and Billy are throwing my kitten in the creek !" The mother went out front and proceeded to deliver a lecture. But just as she got to the most impres sive part her eloquence was quenched by Bilh', who piped up : "'Deed, now, Aunt Ada, there ain't nothing the matter with Paul ine except we did not give her any turn to throw in the kitten herself." "Washington Star. FUTURISTS NOT IN FAVOR Italian Audience Gave Unmistakable Evidence of Its Disapproval of the Cult. The Florence correspondent of the Berliner Tagcblatt, in describing a meeting of futurists at the Teatro Virdi, in that city, says: "Long be fore any of the futurists appeared on the stage the large audience in dulged in noisy demonstration of dis approval, using torpedoes. The tu mult became greater when Mari ne;ti, Papini, Carra, Soffici and their as?ociates appeared. A shower of eggs, potatoes, apples and paper fell upon the artists and the noise continued for two hours. "When the storm vi;-, at its height Marinetti, wiih coat collar upturned, stepped close to the footlights and called the pecpie before him cowards, while Pa pini gathered apples from the stage floor and threw them back at the sl ciiiing people. Then the police step d in vid endeavored to .quell l-1? :v:tr-rit. A potato struck Mari netti in the eye, but, like all the oihers in use on the occasion, it had been boiled and did no great dam- prrp " WEATHER SUPERSTITION. There used to be a tradition in England that January 25 was a day which indicated the happenings of the rest of the year. In the church calendar it was the day celebrated in lienor of the conversion of Saint ul, but no one seemed to know j what relation this fact had to t 1 .o wealher-predicting feature of the day although old writers think there must have been some such re lation. At all events, if the weather January 25 was fair the year was expected to be prosperous. Snow and rain and fogs and cold indicated calamities of one sort or another war and the death of much cattle among them. QUITE SO. Mrs. Gaddy Mrs. Smith has much savoir fare.

AGAINST THE CLINGING STYLE Writer, Possibly fop Personal Reasons, Denounces Proposed Change In Men's Clothing. This is well, let's say amusing this dictate of fashion that men must wear in 1914 clinging garments isn't it ? Because some of us must either adopt pads or endure the mockery of the masses while parad ing in the guise of human scare crows or Punch and Judy shows if clinging duds do master masculinity. And some of us will lose one large subject of conversation and laugh ter, for we won't any longer be able to criticise the garments of our sis ters, wives and affinities. If any one consideration can do more than an other to prevent the general adop tion of tight styles for men this loss of critical opportunity is likely to be the thing, isn't it ? It never will do to give ladies an opportunity to turn the batteries of laughter on the masculine half of humanity, will it ? Of course a compromise may be ar ranged but compromises seldom wear well, do they? Detroit Free Press. SATISFIED IN SECOND PLACE Husband of Famous Novelist Jokes at What World Would Call His Nonentity. 'Humphry "Ward, the husband of the well-known novelist, likes to joke about his nonentity." The speaker was a New York magazine editor. "Humphry Ward, they tell me," the editor went on, "once entered his wife's study while she was out, and glanced over the manuscript upon her writing desk. "He read the sentence, 'She swept the room with a bright, fresh glance,' and, taking up a pencil, he wrote on the margin of the page, 'If she would only sweep the room with a bright, fresh broom !' "Beading on, he came to, 'She touched a button and a footman ap peared.' His marginal note to this was 'Alas, she will never touch a button !' "And now he came upon the sen tence, 'She decided to mend her ways.' And again, he wrote, 'Hope less. She'll never mend anything.' " THE UN MANICURED HAND. "W. Cameron Forbes, ex-governor of the Philippines, saido apropos of some Filipino story: "That story is an exaggeration and possibly a falsehood. It is like the stories we used to hear about the pov erty and slovenliness of the itiner- ant actor. "Betterton Booth, an itinerant Hamlet so one of these stories run3 was invited, in the house of a pros perous friend, to have a drink. He accepted the invitation, naturally. " 'Say when,' said his host, pour ing the whisky slowly forth. "And Betterton, as he measured a certain height on his glass with his thumb, said : '"Xot much, my dear boy. iNot very much- J ust to the black of the thumbnail.' " GLOOMY DOUBT. "You and your wife never argue ?" "Never," replied Mr. Meekton. "What an ideal state." "Perhaps it isn't so ideal. I some times fancy Henrietta hasn't enough respect for my opinions to bother about arguing with me. CONTRADICTION. "The gray mare is the better horse in that house." "I don't see how that is possible when she is such an old nag." TRYING TO AGREE. "You looked very foolish when you proposed to me." "Well, Henrietta," replied Mr. Meekton, "maybe I was." UNCERTAIN. "Do you prefer any particular kind of wine, or don't you like the ubject to be mentioned?" . "Well, Mumm's the word" ITS METHOD. "Should a proposal of marriage be whispered?"

KlRKSEY & CO, I INDIANS FIGURE IN DRAMA Descendants of Aborigines In Virginia Furnish a Surprise for Their White Neighbors. Down in Virginia, not far from Richmond, there still lingers a rem nant of a once powerful tribe, the Pamunkey. Though civilized and living in modern houses, they have not developed to any high degree of progress. Once a year, in accord ance with ancient custom, they send tQ the governor of the state a fine turkey in lieu of taxes. It was with I astonishment that their white neigh- I bors recently learned that some of them had organized a troupe which was playing the drama of the res cue of Capt. John Smith by the beau tiful Pocahontas, the daughter of the old chief, Powhatan. Powhatan belonged to the Algon quin tribe, but as the early Indian blood doubtless mingled, it is pos sible that among those very actors depicting the red man of olden days may be a descendant of the doughty, copper-colored native "Virginian who played such an important part in the settlement of the country. Pocahontas married an English man, John Rolfe, and went to Eng land, in which country she died. Their only son returned to Virginia. In colonial times the Pamunckies were ruled by a queen, who was much persecuted by the whites, and once, when fleeing from their wrath, she left a" silver crown which had been a gift from English royalty in care of a man named Morson. To day the silver crown is one of the most cherished possessions of the iarnuy ana it may still be seen among their heirlooms. CURSE OF THE LITERAL MIND East Indian Thinker Ranks Its Pos sessor Among the Earth's Unfortunates. Man is never literal in the expres sion of his ideas, except in matters most trivial. Very often man's words are not a language at all, but merely a vocal gesture of the dumb. They may indicate, but do not ex press his thoughts. The more vital his thoughts the more have his words to be explained by the context of his life. Those who seek to know his meaning by the aid of the dictionary only technically reach the house for they are stopped by the outside wall and find no entrance to the hall. This is the reason why the teachings of our greatest prophets give rise to endless disputations when we try to understand them by following their words and not by realizing them in ; our own liyes The men who are cursed with the gift of the literal mind are the unfortunate ones who are always busy with their nets and neglect the fishing. From "Sadha- no The Realization of Life," by Rabindranath Tagore. NO OVERTIME WORK FOR HIM. "Some policemen's idea of their duty is very weird," 6aid a New York automobilist the other day, "and to prove it all I have to do is to recite an incident that happened to me last week. "I was down at Far Rockaway with my machine and wanted to get o Belle Harbor, but I didn't know the road. I saw a policeman in uni form and pulled up beside him. nYill you please direct me how to get the Belle Harbor?' I said. " 'No, because I'm off duty.

Bucklen & Co., Philadelphia or St. Louis, GRUESOME WORK WELL PAID Executioners Drew Comfortable Sala ries In What Are Known as the "Good Old Days." J amea Berry was not so well paid for his services as his French con frere, M. Antoine Deibler, who draws 560 a year, while his four assist ants have a similar amount to divide between them. Sanson, the first ex ecutioner to wield the guillotine, was originally paid 1,520 a year, but j when executioners were appointed in ;each department this was reduced to 800, Before the revolution the legal .tariff in France was 25a for behead- ting, 16s 8d for a burning at the fstake, and the same amount for a hanging, with allowances for the erection of a scaffold or the provision of fuel. One of James Berry's predeces sors, for a brief period, donned a Innifonn when at work. In'1785. ac cording to a contemporary chron- ; icier, tne sheriffs of .London were "so pleased with the excellent mode In which Edward Dennis, their hang man, performed his duties that they presented him with a very elegant official robe a khilaut, in fact, as eastern potentates term a similar garb of honor. Dennis found this inconvenient when at work and sold it to a well-known character, Old Cain, who, having set up as fortune teller, wanted a robe to complete the costume in which he received dupes."

"there lives an inmate who is labor ing under the harmless delusion that he is a teapot. It injures no one for him to walk through the wards with one arm outstretched, the hand pointing thus, spout-fashion, the other akimbo as a handle; so, in that attitude I allow him to roam freely through the asylum a sane, agree able man, save for the one delusion. The other day he said to me: 'Doc tor, I want to talk to you about that patient over yonder. He's been talking to me, and I find he thinks he's a goldfish. I can't see why it wouldn't be easy to cure him of that. Throw him in the water ! Then he'll know whether he's a fish or not.' 'What would you do,' I asked, with a man that thinks he's a teapot?' "With hand on hip, right arm a spout: iiut, doctor, i am a tea pot !' says my patient." "That's a queer delusion," said one of the doctor's listeners. "But it's no queerer than a. man I know who thinks he's a cracker jar; he eats crackers all day." "That's nothing," said the sec ond listener. "I know a man who thinks that he's a decanter, and he's in no asylum not yet." Puck. AT THE STATION. "Is there a motor around here I can take, porter ?" "Bettah not try it, sah.
