Have yon seen 'Under Two Breads?' " "Not yet I've read the book. I shouldn't think it would make nearly so good a play as 'Unleavened Flags.' " "I didn't read 'Unleavened Flags,' but if it was as poor a book as it was a play it wasn't worth reading. Still, you can't always tell. You've seen 'In the Palace of Harum,' of course. "Oh, yes, indeed I wasn't half through the book when I saw that" "I didn't read the book. I was afraid they'd put the last chapter first as they did when they dramatized "David Mere dith,' you know. I don't believe In this dramatizing a novel by mixing It up until you can't recognize it" "Oh, I do. It's ever so much more ex citing all mixed up. I like the kind of dramatized novel where you can't tell which novel it is until the third act at least" " 'To Shave and to Scold' ought to make a good play don't you think so?" "Oh, yes, indeed; much better than 'Carvice Janel' did. By the way, did you ever hear of a play by the name of 'Hamlet? " " 'Hamlet?" Why, I don't remember any novel of that name. Really? You don't mean it? Oh, if that's the case I shouldn't care to see it. Have you read Huxley's 'Life and Letters?' " "No, there's not the slightest chance of Its being dramatized, I'm told.

In a little village In the heart of Touralne lives a small, brown old man, says the London Onlooker, whose great pride it is that he once had the honor of making a pair of trousers for Balzac. The old tailor delights to tell of his meeting with the distinguished French man. When I got to the chateau where Monsieur Balzac was staying, I found him in the garden writing a novel. He was so busy that I waited a bit Many sheets of paper, covered with fine writ ing, lay around him. He would write a spell then stare wildly about, and then go at It again as if he knew that a world was waiting for his words. After standing near and watching him a while I had to Interrupt him to get his measure for the trousers. Jon sieur Balzac was very good-natured. He smiled while I measured him, but he spoke but once. "No feet" he said, as I finished, and returned at once to his work. , I didn't know at all what he meant but some way I didn't have courage to interrupt him again to ask, but I met a servant and inquired of him what his master meant by "No feet." "Oh," says he, "Monsieur Balzac wants his trousers made without any openings at the bottom, so that he can sit and write without having to put on slippers." Satisfied with His Job. One of Cleyeland's leading business .oncerns hired a new man thp other 1ay, and a little later, when the superin tendent passed by, he noticed that the new man was smoking a pipe. The rule against smoking on the premises is a rigid one. "See here, my man," cried the official, "you can't smoke here." The new man looked up and nodded and the superintendent passed along. A half hour later he was back again, and lo! the new man was still enjoying his pipe. "Say," the official cried, "didn't I tell you that smoking was not permitted here?" "You did," replied the new man. "Didn't you understand me?" "I did." "See here, perhaps you don't know who I am?" "That's a true word." "Well, I'm the superintendent." The new man looked up at the official with an expression of deep interest "Are ye, sure?" he cried.- "Superin tendent eh? Well, it's a fine job take care of It." And he calmly returned to his work. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Patriotism Versus Pounds. Uncle Silas Penniwise had never seen Boston Harbor before. "This is the place, I suppose," he said, gazing over its blue waters, crowded with shipping, "where our Revolution fore fathers threw that tea overboard." "Yes," responded his city nephew, his eye kindling. "I don't wonder it stirs you to the depths to look at the scene of that historic event It marked an epoch in the world's history which no patriotic American can recall without a thrill of pride." "Ye-es," replied Uncle Silas, musing ly. "I I wonder how much the fellers lost who owned that tea." Appreciative. "Yon have a fine pedigree," said the American multi-millionaire to the nobleman. ' Yes," was the nonchalant answer. "And I want to tell you, I appreciate such things. If there is anything I take an Interest in It is a pedigree.

WAS TORTURED An Indianapolis Woman's Sworn State ment of the Way in Which She Was Saved From Death. From the Indianapolis News. Mrs. Mary K. Burns, of 505 Hia watha street, Indianapolis, Ind., is liv ing evidence of the wonderful powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy that cures where all others fail. For years she en dured all the tortures of indigestion. nervousness and female weakness, a complication of troubles that five phy sicians confessed their inability to cure. Her story Is well worth the at tention of every woman. She says: "My illness commenced after my first child was born., I was so weak and nervous that it seemed I would never get strong. For twelve years I doctored for female trouble, com plicated with nervousness and indiges tion. My stomach was so weak that for days at a time I could eat nothing but bread and milk. I was also troub led with palpitation of the heart and was often so miserable that I could not lie down. Five doctors prescribed for me, and I took many kinds of medi cine without being benefited. One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised in the papers and I de cided to give them a trial. I did so and had not finished taking the first box when I knew that I was getting better. "You can imagine the relief I felt when I found that after years of suf fering I was being cured. I continued taking the pills, and the female trouble entirely disappeared. Dr. Williams' Pirik Pills for Pale People did more for me than it was claimed they would do. Since I first took the pills I have not needed a doctor nor any other medicine; they . have restored my health, strength and happiness. MRS MAR If K. BURNS."

The leader says: "I' went shop ping this morning, and everything I bought began with A.

The penalty is to take the place of the leader and start another letter. Poison oaR v3B Poison ivy are among the best known of the many dangerous wild plants and shrubs.

"Has the past century contributed to ward the Increase or the diminution of auman longevity?" That was the ques tion discussed the other day by a group if French scientists. In comparing the statistics of morality In the nineteenth century with those brought out by Du rillard at the close of the previous cen tury it appears that the average long evity since 1789 Increased by five or six years. Therefore, the question put by aur medical celebrity would seem to be answered, the answer pointing to an In crease of the average length of life. But the present effort Is to reveal the mirage, if mirage there is. In the figures before us; and that is a thorny problem. Dr. Vacher and M. Bertlllon fix the average loisgevlty In the nineteenth cen tury at 73 years. All things being equal, the number of people who reach ed the age of 73 was greater in the gen erations of the nineteenth century than It was in those of the eighteenth. Vacher only arrives at approximations. He tried to find out if professions pos sessed any influence over the chances of life, and be was unable to come to a conclusion, because he found cen tenarians in all professions, even the most unremunerative. For all that, he thinks that he can give the palm to agriculture, because it was In the fam ilies of farmers that he found the great est number of persons who had reached an advanced age. Here statistics are in accord with the most rational previs ions. The profession which presents a hap py medium in the matter of longevity Is that of the scientist. Among the sa vants' one finds as many men who die young as the number who die very old. We know that Fontenello lived 100 years, and that Chevreul was 103. Among those who reached ages quite respectable, although their years were fewer in number, are Humboldt, who died at 90; Newton, at 85; Franklin, at 84, and Button, at 81. The list of those who died very young, like Bichat and Paschal, is just as long; but It Includes, unfortunately, the mar tyrs of science, those who fell upon the field of honor in the effort to harvest some new truth Jacquemont and Com merson in France, Hasselquist and Abel in Sweden, Solokoff in Russia and many others. Such deaths are beyond the reach of the massive rules of statistics. It is noteworthy, however, that the cel ebrated Cassini family is about the only one In which the dual inheritance of longevity and scientific genius lasted through four generations. Courier des Etats Unis. A Boy's Composition on Girls. Girls is things wat gets taken out for nothing to theyatres and cirkusses and parties and everything. I wish i was a girl, my sister Mary was one and she's got a soft thing of it too. Hank Wilson comes to see her every knight ana he talks her out riding and dans ing, and everything. He never taiks me out altho I'd like it just as well. When duff Gordon was hear i heard hank Wilson tell him that his girl was an awful exkspense to him, and that he had to treet her to oisters and ise- kreem, and everything. Then Duff gordon winked and sed, never mind, ner oia man has got lots of tin. Yes sed hank I'll have to Grinn and barrett til we're Marred and then if she wants chocklet kandie She'll have rb get it herself. Then they Poked each other in the ribs and laffed.

I never did like girls anniehow. The Away-from-Home Girl. 'Write your home letters remilnrlv and keep in touch with vonr nnmnto and old friends by weekly correspond ence," writes Margaret E. Sangster, in the Ladies' Home Journal, addressing girls who have gone from home into tne woria to seek their livelihood. "Never let a Sunday afternoon drift out without your hour spent in an inti mate and loving letter to the dear mother. This is a good occupation for Sunday, and I can hardly tell you how minute and confidential and affection ate this writing should be. But there Is no need. You know what you like to hear from home, and what mother and father most long for, when your letters come. I follow those letters. Mother is in the kitchen, washing the dishes. She wipes her hands and sits down in the low rocking-chair by the window where the lilac is beginning to bud. Father stands between the table and the door, waiting to hear what you have said, and aware that he must wait until mother has satisfied her heart with the first reading. Then it will be his turn. To them both you are, and you will always be, just their own lit tle girl, and you can never send them a line which they will not scan with eagerness. So never put off your fam ily at home with a scrappy, hurried scrawl; take time; and tell them every thing." Discordant Custom in Berlin. Berlin is probably the only city of any size in which there is absolutely no attempt at anything like a general dinner hour, or even at uniform busi ness hours. Each circle of professions has its own hours of business, which naturally regulate the household meal arrangements. Army and official cir cles have certain hours of duty; bank ing and commercial houses have their own hours; writers, actors and artists theirs, and the university and the schools form another set with other hours. If you have a wide visiting list in Berlin you may be asked out to dinner at any time from 2 until 7. Hopeless dyspepsia is the penalty if you do not keep in one set.
