Deceiving the Widow.
A bealtfay looking woman dressed Id
4eep mourning stepped on to tbe plat
form scales and requested- tbo grocer's
clerk to ascertain her weight. He
looked and said, ."One hundred and'
forty pounds." ' '
"You made a mistake of twelve
pounds In that woman's weight," said
another man who had also watched
the scales. "She weighed 152 pounds
Instead Of 140."
"1 know that," said the clerk, ."but
tbo never would hnve forgiven me if I
bad told her so. That woman's hus
band died about els weeks ago. She
has gained seven pounds in tbat time,
but to keep her in good hutuor with
herself I had to make her think she
had lost five. I don't know why It is,
but anybody who has suffered bereave
ment seems to consider It a disgrace to
take on flesh. Tbut woman has been
welched three times since her husband
died. She would be shocked If she
knew she had gained right alpng. . for
tunately she is too nearsighted to read
the scales herself, so' It is easy to
make her think she Is wasting away."

OLD IXDIAV WARRIORS
ARB GRANTED PENSIONS
Washington. An echo of the Indian
wars was heard In the senate a few
days ago. when Senator Dixon of
Montana, called up the cases of Bull
Snake and Old Coyote, Crow Indians
with war records but no pensions. A
committee recommended that Bull
Snake and Old Coyote be paid $13
each a month, but Dixon Insisted oh
making the rate $20.
"Old Coyote and Bull Snake," he
said, "these two Crow Indians, were
wounded in battle with General Crook
on the Rosebud reservation fighting
the Sioux thirty-four years ago this
coming June . 15. When Crook was
hemmed in by the Sioux on the Rose
bud he sent couriers to the Crows for
help. They sent 120 of their young
men and these two Indians. Old Coy
ote's' shoulder blade was shattered.
For thirty-four years the old men
have dragged oyer the country with
out pension, without reward of any
kind from the government. Both of
them are old men at this time, and
I do think $20 a month under these
circumstances is certainly a pitiful al
lowance for this great government to
render to these old men who were
shot In battle under these circum
stances." '
On that showing the rate asked by
Dixon was granted by the senate.
Law and the. Queen.
The qualntuess of many provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
In the status of the queen of England.
So far as ber majesty's private busi
ness is concerned, she is not regarded
by the Inws and customs of England
as a married woman at all. She is the
only woman In Great Britain who does
not come within the scope of the mar
ried woman's property act. Tbe Idea
In all this is that affairs of state con
same all tbe time of tbe king, and
therefore no responsibility for the
queen's private business rests upon
him. If tbe queen contracted debts in
her husband's name he would not be
responsible for them, as any other
husband In tbe United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt, but
the queen can be. Should the king die,
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again, In case she
wished to, without the license of the
king's successor. New York Tribune.
Don Law In Constantinople.
"When one of the street dogs of Con
stantinople gets too old to be of use
to tbe baud the captain dog decides
that he is to die," says Albert Bigelow
Paine in Harper's Weekly. "A day
comes when the captain Issues an edict
that he is no longer to have food
From tbat day until his death not a
morsel passes bis lips. With longing
eyes be looks at tbe others eating, but
he makes no attempt to join them.
Now and again a bit of something falls
bis way. Tbe temptation is too strong
be reaches toward the morsel. J The
captain, who overlooks nothing, gives
a low growL Tbe dying creature
shrinks back without a murmur. He
knows the law. E'erhaps he. too, was
once a captain. The minister's wife
told me that she bad tried to feed one
of those dying dogs, but tbat even
wben food was placed In frout of hiui
be would only look pleadingly at tbe
captain and refuse to touch It"

Laughter Saved the Ship.
Humor has been credited with the
saving of many things, but perhaps
never before has a ship been saved by
Its judicious application. In a great
storm many years ago a ship's crew
were all at prayers when a boy burst
into a fit of violent laughter. Being
reproved for his ill timed mirth and
asked the reason for it, he said, "Why,
I was laughing to think what a hiss
ing the boatswain's 'red nose will make
when it comes in contact with the wa
ter." This ludicrous remark set the
crew laughing, inspired them with new
spirits, and by a great exertion they
brought the vessel safely into port

ADVERTISING TALK NO. 5.
A story is told of a traveler who, while walking through a
lane in one of Kentucky's rural districts one hot summer day
came upon three boys sitting on the fence of an adjoining
field.
Their heads were hanging wearily and their eyes were
barely open. Such don't-care and woe-begon expressions he
had never before seen on the faces of mortal men.
"Well, you're a sorry bunch," he exclaimed. '"I think
you are the laziest individuals I ever saw in my life.
"I'd just like to find out which one is the laziest, and I'll
tell you what I'll do. I am going up the road here a ways
and when I return I am going to give a five dollar bill to the
cne who looks the laziest"
Then the traveler vent his vay and in about an hour he
returned. All three boys had fallen off the fence. One had
managed to crawl partly under the shade of a nearby tree
where he lay apparently, fast asleep; another was reclining
against the fence.
But the third boy had stayed just where he fell. Sprawled
out in the dust, his legs and arms limp as rags and the sun of
a midsummer's day pouring its merciless rays down upon him,
he presented a spectacle of despair.
The traveler walked over to him, partly roused him, and
said:
"I've decided that you're the laziest; here's your five
dollars."
Without shifting position and the muscles of his face
barely moving, the boy drawled, "Jee put it in ma pocket."
Now isn't that just about the limit?
But, don't you know no offense intended some business
men's appreciation of the value of advertising is on a par
with that boy's appreciation of his good fortune.
They won't do anything to go after trade. Maybe they
have advertised one or twice, failed to get results and then
quit, declaring they will never try it again.
Don't expect to have money handed to you a silver platter.
Advertising is the hammering part of business building.

right on pounding until the last nail was driven, wouldn't

didn't keep on hammering.
