"Indeed! What did he say?"
"He asked uie to marry him."

"Our captain must be advancing ne.w

"How is that?"
"Roasting lobsters on the gridiron."

The Panacea of Nature.
Every great and commanding mo
ment in the annals of the world Is the
triumph of some enthusiasm. The vic
tories of the Arabs after Mohammed,
who In a few years from a small and
mean beginning established a larger
empire, than that of Rome, Is an ex
ample; But there will dawn ere long
on our politics, on our modes of living,
a nobler morning than that Arabian
faith in the sentiment of love.
Thij is the one remedy for all Ills,
the j anacea of nature. We must be
lovers, and at once the impossible be
comes possible. Our age and history
for these thousand years have not been
the history Xt kindness, but of selfish
ness. Our distrust Is very expensive.
The money we spend for courts and
prisons is very ill laid out. We make
by distrust the thief and burglar and
incendiary", and by our court and jail
we ktep him so. An acceptance of the
sentl;nent of love throughout Christen
dom for a season would bring the felon
and the outcast to our side In tears,
with the devotion of his faculties to
our service. Emerson.
Toole's' Toars.
Sallies of almost childlike high spir
its endeared the late J. L. Toole, the
lifelong friend of Henry Irving, to all
who knew him. On one occasion
when the author of "Some Eminent
Victorians" was spending a day In the
innocent adventures which Toole was a
genius In originating they went to the
Tower, where they found themselves
among a party of eager sightseers In
the chamber where the crown jewels
are disposed.
It was a woman who was explain
ing to the eager throng the history of
the articles displayed: At the end of
a long catalogue she said:
"And this Is Anne Boleyn's crown."
Toole, apparently suddenly over
come, burst Into a flood of tears and
leaned against the wall In seemingly
uncontrollable grief.
"Oh, sir," inquired the poor woman,
In distress, "what Is the matter?"
"Nothing! Nothing!" replied Toole In
broken accents. "Don't mind me. but
the fact is I have known the family
No Time to Read Them.
Two men sat beside each other In a
railway train. One of them, putting
flown a magazine, remarked:
"That series of articles, "Books That
Have Helped Me,' nas engagea iae in
tention of some of the leading literary
men of the country-"
"So. I've heard," the other man re
nlied.
"Have you read any of the articles?"
"No."
"But vou have often thought of
books that have helped you, I dare
sav?"
"No. I don't read books and am
therefore not helped by them, I read
:he titles of books, but never turn the
feaves."
"You must be a busy man?"
"I am." said the man who only
jlanced at the titles, I am a book re-
riewer." London Mail.
Shrewd Peter the Great.
Peter the Great adopted rather a
novel means to convince his subjects
that they should change their clothes
to conform with the modern costumes
of western Europe. Believing, as is
well known historically, that the fu
ture greatness of Russia depended up
on the facility with which It was made
to assimilate all that was best in
other countries, he had succeeded In
introducing some Important innova
tions Into the half civilized region
over which he. held sway. At length
he had patterns of cloth hung up at
the gates of the towns, and those-who
did not conform to the fashions thus
set were doeked publicly, albeit; this

possible, for Teter believed in being
good natured with his people. They,
on the other hand, loudly demurred
and used the argument that what was
good enough for their forefathers was
good enough for them..
"Very well," said the sagacious Pe
ter, in 1703 he gave a dinner at Mos
cow to celebrate the marriage of one
of his jesters and insisted that it
should be conducted In strict conform
ity with ancient usage. There h?v
formerly been a superstitious custom
of not lighting a fire on a wedding. So
Peter made them do without a fire,
although it was very cold. He would
not give them any wine, because their
forefathers never drank it. When
they remonstrated he reminded them
that it was a poor rule which did not
work all around, and thus by his good
natured greatness wheedled his people
into new coats, about the hardest
thing that can be done with human
ity. London Mail.

out making a shabby or cheap
show.
No advertisement in The
Crescent is lost or thrown
away. If results do not come
directly to you, they come in
directly; and they come any
how in some way for your
