A Puzzling Applicant.
When neily Mrs. Cadeiette require
a letter of Inlrodin lion to the benevo
lent Mssoihilion Jules import, proud
of his ability to express himself In
English, obligingly helped her out.
Imagine the bewilderment of the sec
retary when a large, robust lady In
search of work presented what well
meaning Jules had written:
"This Is Miss Ciideiette that I In
duce wherewith to everybody. This
lady has I i sick for a long time anil
Is still In lied. She has live children,
all little anil partly dead, niiil Is In
very poor condition, as she have no
money. Her husband went away two
years ngo and has uot never been
heard of since. This man has rheu
matism, Is a cripple and cannot help
herself. This lady Is his brother's
glil. Help her and she will be very
comfortable."
As the sick abed lady could nptak
io English, she was unnlile to explain
why nlio looked so well, but the secre
tary made her "very comfortable"

Origin of "Canard."
The French name for a dink I
eatiard and a French journal iwalls
the etymology of "eniuird" in the
pejorative Journalistic sense. A Paris
reporter once upon a time In the hot
weather could hud no news and he
fell back upon his Imagination. He
published tin account of a renuirkahle
experiment conducted in a farmynrd.
A farmer took twelve ducklings,
choppe-d one up fine ami gave It 'o
the eleven others to eat. , second
was chopped tun! Hie remaining ten
gobbled him up. For eight more days
one duckling wns served up to the
others. At last, when only two were'
left, one of the two was giwu to the
other to eat. This remarkable exnerl
inent reselted, therefore, in the one
remaining duckling havug eaten up
his eleven brother.
The sleiry of the "Twedve I.IMe
Ducks" sprang at once Into fame. A
"canard" In a newspaper has ever
since meant a statement nearer fic
tion t tin ii fac'.
Just Like Himself.
The cheerful patient needed all bis

the patient suspected the truth.
"Well, doc," he said, with a sad
smile. "It must have been like this."
He fumbled under bis pillow and
produoe'd an envelope which had been
errone-oiisly delivered In another ward.
On (he envelope was scribbled In pen
