"Why. I don't liellove 1 know his

old Uncle David Blake. We'll ask
him."
Ah the old mini drove'up tho laborers
called out. "Uncle David, ean you tell
us who the secretary of war Is?"
j Uncle David thought deeply for
some moments. "Well, 1 ouj;ht tor
know; but, bless me. I can't seen tor

Hurt His Feelings,
Counsel for ono of the railroads In
the recent arbitration proceedings In
Now York said at a luncheon:
"Well, tho poor railroads, nt nny rate,
hnve got rid of the pass evil. Cornelius
Vanderbllt used to tell n story nbout,
that
'Mr. Vanderbllt said that n man once
called and asked him for a pass over
tho New York Central to Albany.
" 'Why do you ask for a pass?' said
Mr. Vanderbllt
" 'Because I'm so sensitive,' tho mnn
answered.
" 'So sensitive? Whnt's that not to do
with the mntter?'
'"Well, I'll tell you. Mr. Vanderbllt'
tho applicant explnlned. 'I went up to
Albany on your lino last week, and I
was tho only man on tho whole train
that nald his fare. Tho other nassen.

The Order of the Bath.
A wry youthful British tourist, ar
riving at an old fashioned German
hostelry, had the Imprudence to order
a bath In his room for the next morn
ing. Very early he wns nwnkened by
sounds of hammering somewhere over
head. Then followed much bumping
on the stnlrs; evidently n large and
cumbrous weight was being brought
down. The noise ceased outsldo his
own door, which (low open, anil In stag
gered two strong men bearing the big"
bath from the public bathroom, dis
mounted for his morning ablutions!

An Unsought Pardon.
Among the stories of that former gov
ernor of Texns familiarly known as
Sam Houston Is inoro than ono amus
ing talo.
There was a financial agent of tho
penitentiary who had warmly opposed
the election of Governor Houston, but
wis particularly anxious to retnln his
own pleasantly lurrntlvo position. Con
sequently the new governor was soon
In receipt of a petition In which the
man's years of faithful service and
special qualifications for tho place -wero
set forth In glowing terms by himself.
The governor sent for him nnd said
gravely, "It oppoars from this petition
that you have been In tho penitentiary
eight years."
"I have," was tho reply,
i "And during that tlmo you hnvo per
formed faithfully every duty that has
como lu your way to tho best of your
ability?"
"I have," answered tho agent, his
courago swiftly rising.
"Then, sir," said tho governor, with
tho air of ono conferring a priceless
favor, "I pardon you out"

MASSENET'S HOBBY.
A.8tory of tho Composer "and His Dea
Friend, the Bookbinder.
In the recollections of Massenet a
story Is' told, says the Hamburger
Naehrlcuten. Illustrating the! compos,
cr's passionate admiration for beautl
ful bindings. Not a week passed with
out a visit from him to, his bookbinder
when ho brought a new book or n now
edition to be bound. In the course of
time he and his bookbinder became the
best of Trlends, and when "Massenet ar
rived the talk was at ilrst of overj
thing on earth except the real object
of his visit
"Look bore!" Massenet would say
eventually, giving the mun tho volume
to bo bound.
"Splendid!" replied the bookbinder,
and then' for his customer nnd friend
ho Would deylse some fresh wondor in
tho. nrt of binding. . ;
Ono morn'lng Massenet suddenly
learned that his friend was giving up
business. He hurried to his shop.
"Heavens! Is it truo you nro leaving
Paris?" lie asked.
"Why, certainly! I havo bought a
charming little country house neat
Nnn'tes."
"What! A country house! And in
tho provinces!" And he added sadly,
"Ah, my poor friend, I am partly re
sponsible for thnt!"
Who Am I?
Last leap year 1 did, not want to em
barrass my best girl to jualfe uer pro
pose to me, so usked her to bo my wife,
and she said, "I would rather bo ex-,
cuscd," and I, like an Idiot, excused
her. But I -got even with tho girl. 1
married her mother. Thmf 'iny father
married tho girl. Now 1 don't know
who I am.
When 1 married the girl's mother tho
Irl became my daughter, and when
my rather married my daughter ho is
my son. When my4 father married my
daughtor.'she was my mother. If. .my
father is my Hon" nnd my daughter Is
my mother, who in thunder "am. I?
My mother's mother (which is my, wife)
must be' my grandmother, nnd I "being,
my grandmother's husband, 1 nm myi

YOUR MISTAKES.
Study Them, Then Profit From Them,
and Co Ahead,
Study your mistakes.
Thero are two kinds of mistakes.
Thoso that happen from ordinary hu
man mlsthluklng and those that como
from carelessness mid petty uuthlnk
lng.
Study your mistakes.
No one ever gets too big to make
mistakes. The secret is that tho big
man is greater than his mistakes, bo
cause he k rises right out of them and
passes beyond them.
After ono of Henry Wnrd Beeeher's
sermons in Plymouth church. Brook
lyn, a young: mun came up to him and
said, "Mr. Bcccber. did you know that
you mndo a grammatical error In your
sormon this morning?
"A grammatical errorl" answered
Beccher. "I'll bet my hnt that I made
forty of them!"
Half of the power of tho forceful
man springs out of his mistakes of one
sort or another. They help to keep
him human.
Study your mistakes.
But the mistakes that tear away the
power of a man, weaken him and
mako him flabby arc tho stupid, tho
reckless mistakes. The clerk who for
gets, the stenographer thnt doesn't
care, the worker who neglects theso
nro the ones whose life blood und vi
tality arc sapped and sucked away
Into failure.
Study your mistakes.
One of tho great things of each day
for you Is to do your best unmindful
of mistakes. But after your work is
done and you realize your blunders,
don't shirk, don't whine, don't de
spond, but
Study your mistakes.
Then profit rrom them, nnd go

Matthew Adams.
CRITICS AND GENIUS.
Carlyle Denounced Spencer, and Rus
kin Ridiculed Whistler.
Tho good critic must in somo way
begin by accepting Uteraturo ns it is.
Just as tho good lyric' poet must begin
by accepting life as it Is. Ho may be
as full of revolutionary and reforming
theories as ho likes, but ho must not
jillojv any of these to come llko n
cloud between him and the sun, moon,
und stars of literature. The man who
disparages tho beauty of flowers nnd
birds nnd lovo and laughter nnd cour-
jigo will never bo counted nmong the
lyric poets, nnd tho man who questions
tho beauty of tho Inhabited world the
Imaginative writers have made a
world as unreasonable in its loveliness
as the world of nature is not in the
way of becoming a critic of literature.
Another argument which tells In fa
vor of the theory that tho best crit
icism is praise is the fact that almost
all tho memorable examples of critical
folly havo been denunciations. Ono
remembers that Carlyle dismissed
ncrbert Spencer ns a "never ending
ass." One remembers that Byron
thought nothing of ICeats Jack Ketch,
as ho called him. One remembers that
tho critics damned Wagner's operas as
a new form of sin. One remembers
that Ruskin denounced one of Whis
tler's nocturnes ns a pot pf pnlnt flung
in tho face of tho British public. In
the world of scleuco wo have n thou
sand slmllnr examples of new genius
being hailed by the critics as folly and
charlnranry. Itobert Lynd. In British
Review.
Thought He Was In India.
When Rudynrd Kipling reached-Lon
don from Indln In his search for famo
and fortune ho lodged in some sman
rooms on Vllllcrs street. One morn
ing n friend called, and when he found
himself In Kipling's sitting room he was
surprised to seo n handsome mirror
Which stood over the fireplace "smash
ed to smlthoreens."
"Snakes." said Kipling, noticing tho
look of nstontshmcnt on his friend's
face. "1 was dozing in my chair yes
terday evening, nnd my foot slipped
out of my shoo, which for comfort I
had unlnced. naif waking, I felt with
my foot for the shoo nnd began slip
ping it In when my toes touched the
leather tongue. Snnkef'tlashed across
my sleepy brain. I gave one despcrato
kick, and when tho shoo struck thnt
mirror I realized that I was In Lon
don and not In India."
Splendid, but Ladylike Golf.
I know now when a young lady bo-
gips to play "really splendid" golf,
says a writer in the Qlnsgow News.
Two young ladles entered our com
partment at Whltecralgs, and. having
placed a bag of shining clubs on tho
rack, ono of them said to her compan
ion. "Do you know, you played roally
splendid golf today." "Oh, how could
you say that?" exclaimed tho other in
pleased tones. "You know I hnven't
long started." "Oh, thnt's nothing,
explained tho critic in tones that clear
ly left no doubt In tho mind of tho
.criticised one. "Didn't you only miss
tho ball three times in eighteen holes?"
