J. Wade McGrath, one of the promt

"What room have you?" Inquire!

He was told and then he Inquired:
"What are you paying for It?"
"Two dollars," was the reply.
"Well, what do you expect for twt

POINT HE HAD OVERLOUKfcD
Wife's Question Made Broker Wonder
Whether He Might Not Have
Been Deceived.
A Wall street broker of English par
entage and an unusual name was talk
ing to Beveral other brokers, business
not being particularly rushing at the
moment.
"If anybody In this crowd has a
gold brick for sale," he said, "I wish
he would try to dispose of It to me
at a good figure. Why? Well, I'm
In the market since yesterday for
tbat sort of material.
"It happened this way. About 4
p. m. a very nice-appearing man of
the working class came Into my office
and asked for me. I saw him and
asked him his business. He told me
he had seen my name In the papers,
and as his name was the aame as
mine be thought, the names being
so unusual, he would call on me.
He was very unmistakably Eng
lish, and the similarity of names was
of some Interest, even though I hard
ly thought he was In my class. Still
he might have been a hnrd-up titled
nobleman working for bis living, as
some of the best ot them do rather
than sponge It off somebody else.
He talked along about his family
and where they lived and asked me
where mine came from and said he
had been living in Canada for fif
teen or twenty years, where his
father had gone from England. Times
were hard and he had come to this
country, where they were no softer
and well, it ended by his touching
me for $5. His name was good for
that, I thought, whether he was
wholly deserving or not
"When I went home In the eve
ning I told my wife about It and did
she applaud my respect for my fam
ily name? Not on your parish regis
ter she didn't. She looked at mo
critically and said: 'John, did the man
show you any papers to prove that
bis name was the same as yours?'
Right then I awoke, and If any of you
gents have a gold brick to sell will
you please pass it on to me?"
- On His Dignity.
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who
has equipped a $250,000 field ambu
lance for the allies, told many inter
esting war stories during her recent
visit to America.
"The new English army is wonder
ful," she said at a studio tea In New
York. "The officers themselves are
surprised at the rapidity with which
the young English volunteer can be
trained into a splendid soldier. Of
course, though, amusing mistakes
often happen before the military rules
are mastered.
'An English officer told me of an In
cident which occurred in his regiment.
One day the colonel had to reprimand
severely a recruit. The next day this
recruit was on sentry duty when the
colonel passed by. Noticing that the
sentry failed to give him the usual
salute, the colonel intentionally passed
him a second and even a third time.
To his astonishment the salute was
each time omitted.
"'Do you know who I am?' the
colonel asked Indignantly.
" 'Yes, sir,' the sentry answered.
"'Don't you know you ought to sa
lute me, then?' pursued the colonel
"Aye, but,' said the sentry, 'thee
and me fell out yesterday.' "
For Love of the Work.
The Russia of today has no social
life, Us women have no thought of
dress and amusement. All are work
ing for their country, and an excep
tional number of the women of edu
cation in that country are specially
qualified to be of service to the
wounded soldiers. Speaking of her
country, the wife of a Russian at
tache In London Bald: "Perhaps the
women of Russia study medicine and
nursing more generally than is the
case elsewhere, for In Russia the
poorer classes look more naturally to
those who are blessed with a larger
share of this world's goods for care
and protection. This feeling is now
on the decline in towns, but in coun
try places, where doctors have rounds
of a hundred miles' radius, the poor
of a district, In the absence of the
medical man, are looked after and
tended by the daughters of the house
on whose estate they live. Thus every
young girl goes In for medicine be
cause she loves the work."
Swift Horses.
"Horses!" said the Yankee. "Guess

Chicago."

dian. "I was out on my farm one

Should Have Sealed It,
Through some slight error In the use
of the old Hebrew letters It seems that
the official seal of Yale university has
been embellished with the motto,
"Blasphemers and Farmers," instead
of "Light and Truth." This may em
phaslze anew the old saying that a
little knowledge is a dangerous thing,
but the fearful mistake should never
have been exposed. If the wise ones
who detected the error had only main
tained a discreet silence there are
very few who would ever have known
the difference.
Favorite star.
From ancient days Regului has
beon one of the favorite stars of
mariners and so-called astrologers.
The ancient names designated It as
the king of stars. In Its apparent
passage through the path of the zodiac
the sun Is almost between us and
Regulus, and once a month the moon
la near it and at times comet direct
ly between It and our earthly vision,
or "occults" It. For this alone Regulus
ought to be one of the fascinating
stars at this time ot the year.
Act rnot covered oy Law.
In a negro district a member was on
trial, charged with stealing chickens.
The evidence went to show that the
defendant had been found with his
foot In a steel trap at the door ot the
hennery, while an empty tack lay near
by. The decision of the judge wat to
this effect. "D co't finds dat de 'fend
ant hadn't no criminal 'tentlont. Dah
halnt no law to p'vent a gemmen frum

WONDERfUL HOW RESINOL
STOPS ITCHING AT ONCE
To those who have endured for
fears the itching torments of eczema
sr other such skin-eruptions, the relief
that the first use of reslnol ointment
ind reslnol soap gives Is perfectly in-
jredlble. After all the suffering they
have endured and all the useless treat
ments they spent good money for, they
annot believe anything so simple,
mild and inexpensive can stop the itch
ing and burning INSTANTLY! And
they find it still more wonderful that
the Improvement is permanent and
that reslnol really drives away the
eruption completely in a very short
time. Perhaps there Is a pleasant sur
prise like this in store for you. Res
lnol ointment and reslnol soap are sold

Eyes of Fishes.
The eyes ot fishes are In constant
use except when they are asleep. Most
fishes have no eyelids, their eyes be
ing protected from Injury by a shiny
material or by a thick transparent
skin. The puffer, or swellflsh, which
habitually burrows In sand at the
bottom of the water, has eyelids which
cover the eyeballs when closed, the
lower eyelid being larger than the
upper.
All of Tomato Utilized.
Italy harvests about 22,000 acres of
tomatoes yearly, and the wastage
amounts to practically nothing. The
skins and seeds, formerly discarded,
are now utilized, the former as stock
feed and the latter as a source ot oil.
The crude oil is suitable for soap
making and for lamps, and the refined
product is said to be edible.
True Greatness.
True greatness first of all is a thing
of the heart. It is all alive with ro
bust and generous sympathies. It is
neither behind Its age, and ahead ol
It only Just so far as to be able to
lead Its march, It cannot slumber, for
activity is a necessity ot its existence.
It is no reservoir, but a fountain.

Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con

We have published in the newspapers of the United States

done I wish to state what Lydia E. l'inkhara's Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it
caused a displacement I have always been weak and I overworked
after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous pros
tration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E. link
ham's Vegetable Compound. The Compound is my best friend and
when I hear of a. woman with troubles like mine I try to induce her
to take your medicine." Mrs. S. T. Kiciimond, 84 1'rogress Avenue,

South Quinoy, Mass. The doctor said that I had organic trouble
and he doctored me for a long time and I did not get any relief. I
