BUYING A SAW,
Find Out tha Kind You Want Befor
You Go to Purchase.
Wbeti the mnu iu the golf rap start
ed downstairs his wife ran to the door
end called him back.
"Harry," she said, "I waut you to go J
into a bard ware store today nnd get a
saw. Don't forget it, please. We need
one badly.
Being an accommodating person, the
man lu the golf cap said he would not
forget it. He chose the luncheon hour
as the most opportune time for making
bis simple purchase. He was in a good
humor, and he smiled blandly when be
went bustling Into the store and said:
"I want a saw, please.
"What kind of a saw?" asked the
clerk.
"Why," said the prospective pur
chaser, "I don't know; Just a saw.
Any kind will do. I presume."
The clerk sighed." "If you only knew
what you want to use it for, perhaps
I could advise you," be suggested.
"What I want to use it for?" echoed
the man in the golf cap. "Why, I
want to saw, or course that is. my
folks do."
"Saw what?" asked the clerk.
"I don't know," admitted the non
plused shopper.
The clerk led the way to the rear of
the store. "I will show you a few of
the different varieties of saws we have
on hand," ho said. "Observation and
explanation of their uses nnd prices
may assist you In making a decision.
Here Is a metal saw. It is made of
highly tempered steel and will saw
iron, copper, load and all manner of
metals. Is that the kind you want?'
The man lu the golf cap was sorely
perplexed. "No," bo said. "I don't
think bo. Wo have no metals at our
house to work on that I know of."
Terhaps you would like a meat
saw?" suggested tho clerk. "But you
, are not a butcher."
"Heaven be praised, no!" said the
man who wanted a saw.
"Here is a regular kitchen saw for
general utility purposes. It will cost
you only 50 cents. IIow does that
strike you? No? Then here Is the
cabinetmaker's saw. Then I have
hero tho plumbers' saws, tho fine dell
cate saws used by nil manner of artifi
cers and the ordinary wood saws,
whicb will cost you anywhere from 50
cents to $4. In that back room we
have still other varieties of saws the
two man ten foot saws, buzz saws and
circular saws. If you want to pay a
big price you had better take one of
the circular saws. I'll give you a good
one for $500. Would you like to seo
them?"
The man In tho golf cap looked about
him wonderlngly.
"No, thank you," bo said. "I guess
I won't take any till I find out Just
what kind I want."

Richter'i Conducting.
Countless are tho stories told of tho
genlalty of Dr. nans Rlchter. Once
while rehearsing a Mozart symphony
in which the first violins had a number
of delicate trills and turns to perform
these were played too heavily for Rlch
ter, who said: "Plense, gentlemen,
pianissimo! Queen Mab, not suffra

Rlchter was not thoroughly satisfied
with the orchestral rendering of a
scene from "Tristan und Isoldo" he
stopped the rehearsal and asked for
more dignity la tho playing, adding
mat Isoiuo was the daughter of a king,
not of a cook. On nnothcr occasion

ALL HALLOW EVEr
A Tradition Handed Down Prom th
Ancient Druids.
The observance uf Halloween, or
All Hallow eve. in a tradition handed
down from the ancient Druids, who
celebrated their harvest fortlvnl.on the
last day of October, 'ibe next day
was All Hallows' or All Saints' day,
and so they called the festival Atl
Halloween.
The gay games of modern times are
not much like the solemn rites of the
Druids, but a connection may be traced
between the supernatural beliefs of
the ancients and the burlesque at
tempts to pry Into the mysteries of the
future which our own Halloween fun
represents.
Long after the time of the Druids
simple minded country people contin
ued to believe in charms nnd witch
craft and especially claimed that on
the night of Oct 31 witches and gob
lins held revel and fairies danced
about in the woods. . From these spir
its or their manifestations It was be
lieved that the future could be fore
told and human destinies discovered.
As our celebrntlou of the occasion is
merely a whimsical adaptation of all
this, there is one thing clear at the
outset to a successful Halloween par
ty the young guests must bring a large
stock of imagination, a zest for merri
ment and an unfailing fund of good
humor, for many Halloween tricks
result in turning the laugb on one or
another, and this must be accepted in
a gay, good natured spirit Old fash
ioned Halloween parties were held in
the kitchen, and where this is prac
ticable it is a good place for many of
the games. But all of the rooms used
should be decorated with trophies of
the harvest Pumpkins, apples, grain
stalks and autumn leaves offer ma
terials for beautiful and effective trim
ming, nnd if desired draperies of red
and yellow cheesecloth and ornamenta
tions of red nnd yellow crape paper
may be added. Jack-o'-lanterns are of
course a necessity. Carolyn Wells in

THE SCULPTOR TURNED.
Hit Answer to tha Art Critics In Rural
Franoe.
At Chalon-on-the-Saone stands the
monument executed by Morcenu-Vau-tbler
and Berard to commemorate the
national defense a superb cuirassier
who carries across his saddle the body
of a color bearer who yet clasps in his
arms his" broken standard.
On the eve of the unveiling the mu
nicipal council, presided over by the
mayor, repaired to the foot of the stat
ue to examine and see If it should be
accepted.
"Are you not going to clean off this
green mold?" asked the mayor of the
sculptor.
"But, monsieur," replied tho sculptor,
"tbat is prdigrls."
"Vcrdlgfis! Verdigris!" said the
mayor. "I understand that very well.
Parbleu!J know that this Is verdigris.
but it Is 'dirty. If I had a kitchen
outfit of that color I would have It
scoured. Tbat must be cleaned up.
Tou'll have to make that shine."
"But, monsieur"
At that moment, a member of the
council having struck the body of the
bronze horso with his cane, they all
cried out, "This sounds hollowl"
"Your bronze Is hollow, monsieur,"
snid the mayor.
The unhappy sculptor then took great
pains to explain that all bronze stat
ues were hollow. The mayor main
tained nn air of defiant Incredulity and
as he passed around the monument
said, "It appears to me you have hard
ly detailed the hair in the tall." ,
This was too much for the sculptor.
"I wished," be snid, "to screw natural
hair Into bis tall like the hair used In
children's hobbyhorses. It would have
taken six mouths to have done so,
nnd I reflected that It would have
cost you too much."
And tho municipal council of Chalon
agreed with the Justness of this ob
servation. Paris Crl ,

A
RAISED HIS WAGES.
THa Way an Employer Got 8juar
.With a Faithless Assistant
A story Is told in Milwaukee con
cerning an elderly German who con
ducted a good sized manufacturing
plant on the south Bide. He had an
engineer at his factory who had been
with him for fifteen years and the old
gentleman had Implicit confidence in
him. It was with a profound shock
that be discovered finally tbat the
trusted engineer was "grafting" most
shamefully.
The proprietor thought it all over for
a long while and then sent for the en
gineer. When that functionary arriv
ed the following dialogue took place:
"Ah, John! Good morning, John. How
long haf you been vorklng by this
place?"
"Fifteen years."
"Ach, so. And vot are your wages?"
"Twenty-five dollars a week."
"M-m-m. VelL after today it vlll be
f 3 a veek more."
The engineer thanked bis employer
profusely and withdrew. A week later
the old gentleman sent for him again,
and the same conversation ensued,
ending with another $5 a week raise.
The third Saturday he sent for the
engineer again, and after the same
questions and answers he raised his
salary another $5 a week.
On the fourth Saturday the engineer
was again summoned before the boss.
"How long have you been vorklng
here, John?" asked the proprietor.
"Fifteen years," replied the engineer,
who by this time had grown to expect
the weekly question and salary raise
as a regular thing.
"And how much vages are you get
ting?" "Forty dollars a week."
"Ach, so? Veil, yon are fired."
"Fired!" exclaimed the engineer, al
most fainting. "Why, you have been
raising my salary $5 at a clip for the
last three weeks."
"Sure I have," roared the Teutonic
boss, all his Indignation flaring out at
once. "And the reason that I did it
vas tbat it shall make it harder for
you for vhen I fire you, you loafer'"

the same sensational equilibrist, the
same air climber and sky scraper when

of the tarpon are when hooked It
would be difficult to say, but I fancy
It Is frightened and leaps in the direc

no two leaps areallke.
It may go dluectly up into the air,
carrying a big wajve with it, and lash
