In truth, he was a crafty look­ ing man with a money ranking nose He saw the picture of himself grow­ ing up in the bands of the artist as he was and not as he thought himself. He made several protests, but when he attempted to point out the errors he signally failed. He could not give the artist his conception of himself, and the artist had no choice but to paint him as Mr. Barnlckel.

" I was wondering the other day what one thing had given me the most I pleasure In the world,” said the village Jeacon. “ I had to go back a long ways—clear back into the blessed San- j ta Claus days—but I recalled i t it i was a scarf I found In my stocking one bright Christinas morning X got a red one, and my brother got a blue i one. I was a mighty proud boy that | morning as X trudged downtown w 1th that red scarf around my neck. I | «-ore It every day until the birds be- : gan to sing III the springtime and the kids were hunting up their marbles. I don’t now remember who gave It to I me nor wbat became of it, but I do know that the memory of it still clings like a benediction. “ Since the days o f that little red scarf I have had things o f far more Intrinsic value. I have worn lodge emblems of high degree; I have had a gold watch aud chain; I once had a pair o f shoes that cost $5 and a neck­ tie that cost twice as much as the lit­ tle red scarf. Nay. more, I once tackled a plug hat. But among these things do I recall none that gave me such genuine aud unalloyed pleasure, such a swelled up feeling, as did that little red scarf way back in the days when the wolf sat out in the road and howled. ’Tis the little red scarf days that stir the memory with ‘It might hat e been.’ ’’—Osborn (Kan.)
