from Aramaic.

Even there the traveler must not

A good story is told of the lata
Chief Justice White of the United
States Supreme court, who was fa

Timothy T. Anslierry. former member
of congress from Ohio and a prac

quite well."
"Good morning," was the response;
but not recognizing Ansberry, the
chief Justice added cautiously, "la It
possible that I have forgotten your
name)
"It'a Ansberry," wss the answer.
"Oh, yes, my dear Ansberry." the
Jurist hastily put In. "How are you?
But you must excuse me for not
recognizing you Instantly. Ton know

"But," said Anslierry, "I noticed
that the cataracts do not prevent yoa
seeing the denYletiees In my argu

Smiling broadly, the distinguished
Jurist laid a hand on Ansberry'
shoulders, saying:
"No, my dear Ansberry, a blind man
could tee them."
Then turning to a friend who hap
pened to be In the group, the chief
Justice laughingly said:

No Women Gourmet
The discussion in Paris as to what Is
a gourmet has resulted In the claim
f one well-known writer that no
woman ever waa one. In defining a
gourmet, he says: "A gourmet Is not
a person, who, as some think, over
eats or overdrinks merely for the sake
of eating and drinking. No, he Is too
particular for that. Gourmets are
rarely or never 'gormandlsers' they
are too particular about those two

stomach and the brain real gourmet
rc.irtake of but one serious meal a tiny.
People who are always nibbling are
the very opposite of gourmets, and
there Is no habit so unsociable or
deleterious as picking at food when
lilting down. That Is why there ma)
ie women painters, mtislclana. barrls
em und voters, but never a woman
gourmet."
