[Copyrighted, lilt, by Thomaa J. Sullivan.}
Tbe first hypocrite was tbe man who
stole tbe livery of the court of heaven
to serve tbe devil In.
Some people apeak as If hypocrites
were confined only to religion, bat j
they are everywhere, people pretend
ing to wealth wben they have not a
sixpence, assuming knowledge of which
they are Ignorant, shamming a cul
ture they are far removed from, adopt
ing opinions they do not hold and pre
tending honest business roles wblcb
are far from the legitimate.
As a man lovea gold, in that pro
portion be bates to be Imposed upon
by counterfeits, and In proportion as
a man baa regard for that wblcb la
above price and better than gold be
abhors that hypocrisy which Is but
its counterfeit
Lying before tbe writer la tbe acme
of hypocrisy. It Is a catalogue of one
of those mall order bouses, and on one
page three sewing machines are adver
tised. Tbe first la declared to be tbe
"most perfect sewing machine on the
market." tbe necond Is said to have
"more good sensible Ideas than any
other,” while the third Is praised as
being "tbe most superior sewing ma
chine on tbe market.”
Now. which of these machines really
Is tbe best? Which of them is as g-iod
as tbe one your retailer sells and guar
antees? Can any reader of the above
triumvirate of ads. tell? Most assur
edly not
Tbe lesson should be plain to all who
receive these catalogues. They con
tain glowing descriptions of good*, but
the senders of money do not know
what they are going to get for their
money when they send It to a mall or
der bouse.
Goods In Plain Paokagas.
Were It not ao serious It would be
amusing to read some of tbe smooth
arguments tbe catalogue houses ad
vance to their readers In an effort to
Induce them to aend in orders. They
say that goods are sent in plain pack
ages because many merchants who buy
of them to sell again object to having
their name appear on the boxea. We
know we are safe In saying there is
not one single merchant In the ‘whole
United States who ever ordered any
goods from these concerns. The state
ment Is made In an effort to make} the
consumer believe that he can bay as
cheaply as bis local merchant cam
But printed matter that wllf sell
goods Is within the power of almost
sny local retailer. Most all the expert
advice la little more than empty gen
eralizing about nonessentlals. It Is not
literatu re, rem em ber, but advertising,
thnt you want to write. Knowledge of
w ords and type and ?he ability to
write fine Introductory paragraphs and
strik in g headings are not to he de
spised. of course, but the facto, not
fancy ways of saying them, are what
Induce tbe people to spend ttaeir money
in tbe local stores.
The merchant’s knowledge of his
store, hts goods and the people Is more
than an offset for any lack of ability to
coin catchy phrases or to use technical
language in telling the printer bow he
would like to have bis advertising
look.
When tbe merchant sits down to
write bis ad. he should imagine that
bis hardest customer to sell to Is seat
ed on tbe other side of his desk. H»
should write what his talk would be
If he were determined to make a sale
to that customer when In the most ob

Mrs. Hatch felt she married be
neath her when ibe “took up” with

was faithful to her vow never to

got the better of her.
Jim listened quietly to hia wife’s

ABOVE THE LAW.
Courts Hava Na Juriedisticn Over e
Foreign Ambassador.
The chief of an embassy is «n
august being and one who boests
some remarkable privileges. I t may
be mentioned, to begin with, thnt in
the land in which he is officiating
an ambassador ranks immediately
after princes of the blood roymL
The ground on which an embassy
stands is in theory aa well as in
practice the territory of the nation
to which its principal occupant be
longs. Even if a criminal were har
bored in an embaaay the police
could not enter the premise« with
out permission.
An ambassador is above the law
of the country to which he ia ac
credited. The courta have no juris
diction over him, sod, strangely
enough, his subordinates and even
his domestic servants are also in
violate. The humblest employee ia
the embaaay if he committed a pun
ishable offense could not be arrest
ed without the consent of his mas
ter, nor can an embassy official ba
imprisoned for debt.
Ambassadors are to ba envied
moat of all perhaps for their free
dom from the burden of taxation.
They disburse not one penny ia
taxes, either directly or indirectly,
and, as for the custom house, it ia
nonexistent ao far at they tre con
cerned. No duty whatever is charg
ed in respect of wines, cigars, ciga
rettes, etc., that are consigned to
them.
So their excellencies need not
bother sbout tsxes unless they
please. That they do ao ia purely
an act of grace on their part. They
are not legally exempt from these
tantalizing demands on the purse,
but if they declined to meet them
there would be no means of enforc
ing payment.—Cassell’s Journal.
Cromwall'a Appearance.
Sir Philip Warwick left this pic
ture of Oliver Cromwell; “The first
time that ever I took notice ofTurn
was in the very beginning of the
parliament held in Nevember, 1640,
when I vainly thought myself a
courtly young gentleman, for we
courtiers valued ouraelvea much
upon our good clothes. I came one
morning into the house well clad
and perceived a gentleman speaking
whom I knew not, very ordinarily
appareled, for it waa a plain cloth
suit, which seemed to nave been
made by an ill country tailor. Hia

Mozart and Bratzner.
When Mozart waa at the height
of his fame he composed the muaio
of Bretzner’a “Belmont und Kon-
stanze” (“The Abduction From tha
Seraglio”) at the request of Emper
or Joseph II. The author of tha
drama was so angry at this that ha
inserted the following notice in the
Leipziger Zeitung: “ A certain fel
low of the name of Mozart has dar

I hereby aolemnly protest acainst
