tumorous Jrpartmcut A Collector's Bargain.?Lord Spencer of Althrop, one of the greatest of book collectors, was at home only in his own held. One day in browsing about Bond street, London, he went Into the shop of a dealer in bric-a-brac. The dealer, who knew him by sight, said persuasively: "Here is a fine bit of pottery which your lordship really ought to have, and you shall have It very cheap? only 2 guineas." 80 Lord Spencer bought it and took it home and set it in a high place. One day a connoisseur of china paid him a visit, and Lord Spencer showed his bargain. "What did you give for it?" asked the connoisseur. "Two guineas," answered Spencer rather proudly. "H'm!" said the connoisseur. "At that price the marmalade should have been Included." "What do you mean?" "Why, that precious piece of yours is nothing more or less than a shilling marmalade pot with a green thistle painted on it." It Cams Back.?Sandy Brown, a grocer in a small village in Scotland, discovered a bad 2-shilling piece which his wife, who was afflicted with weak eyesight, had taken during the day. Being of a parsimonious disposition, this annoyed him greatly, and he determined to pass the coin at the first opportunity. The next day while walking down the road he saw "Daft Jimmie," the village idiot, pass. Calling him over, he said: "Here's a bad two shilling piece, Jimmie. I want you to go to Simpson's ( & rival tradesman) and buy an ounce of tobacco. You can keep the tobacco, but bring me the change." Jimmie hurried off and soon re-appeared arid banded the delighted Sandy his change. "Did Simpson suspect anything?" he asked. "Ach," said Jimmie, "I didna fash gaen so far as Simpson's. I just pass eu 11 in ,ver <uu guuyiHc. No Scandalmonger.?A party of young ladies from a certain southern town was touring Europe last summer, under the guidance of a superannuated clergyman, when hostilities broke out and left them, for the time being, marooned in northern Italy. One of the party, who is locally famous in her own community for her aversion to circulating anything in the nature of idle gossip, wrote a letter back heme to a friend. After describing some of the sights she had seen and mentioning the prevalent weather at some length, she adedd this sentence: "It is rumored in Milan that war has been declared, but don't say I told you."?Saturday Evening Post. 8he Was Surprised.?He had been on a hunting expedition for several days in the backwoods, roughing it rather severely, and on taking a seat in the railway carriage returning homeward he looked as begrimed and weatherbeaten a trapper as ever brought his skins into a settlement, says the Pittsburgh Post-Dispatch. He happened to find a seat next to a young lady?evidently belonging to Boston?who, after taking stock of him for a few minutes, retnarked: "Don't you feel an utterly passion Fortunate.?Signor Marconi, who is undoubtedly one of the most popular men in Italy just now, has been telling a story about a certain celebrated admiral who was a countryman of his. "The admiral," he says, "has won many battles and great renown, and at a ball given in his honor one lady said to another: 'How frightfully fat our dear admiral is getting?* "'Yes,' replied the second lady. "Isn't it fortunate? Otherwise he wouldn't be able to wear all his medals.'" Quite Probable*?In New Jersey one morning, Perkins looked over his fence and said to his neighbor: "What are you burying in that hole?" "I'm Just replanting some of my seeds, that's all," was the response. "Seeds:" exclaimed Perkins angrily. "It looks more like one of my hens." "That's all right," came from the man on tne otner siae 01 me iente. "The seeds are inside." Smoothed it Over.?Jones observed an old lady sitting across the room. "For heaven's sake," he remarked to Robinson, "who is that extraordinarily ugly woman there?" "That," answered Robinson coldly, "is my wife." Jones was taken aback, but quickly recovered himself. "Well," he said, persuasively, "you just ought to see mine." Delirious??The Wife?Oh, doctor, I think Henry is much better this morning. He took my hand just a minute ago and called me his own little tootsy wootsy. Doctor?The case is more serious than I thought. It's a very bad sign when a patient becomes delirious. A Matter of Weight.?He?Don't you think Miss Sweetthlng is very attractive? She?Well, judging by the moths I see fluttering around the fiame her attraction operates only on very light substances. Distinguished Ancestors.?"I'm sorry you don't admire Mr. Gumpins," said the tactful woman. "His ancestors were very distinguished and estimable people." "Yes," replied Miss Cayenne.

The Babes Suffer. One of the saddest sights we have seen recently, though we have unfortunately seen similar sights before, was that of a young man?a white man?a few days ago beastly drunk and indulging in the usual programme of the beastly drunk man. Officers? a bevy of them?finally escorted him to the lock-up with the aid of a hack that they had requisitioned, and the next chapter was probably the administration of a stiff fine in the mayor's court next morning. And in the meantime, with the poor fellow's exchequer depleted and the Christmas hopes of wife and babies largely gone a glimmering, the infamous blind tiger that jyobably sold the poor drunkard the poisonous concoction that upset + s reason and put such a hole in his le savings, pursues the even tenor iiis way, and will have everything Christmas. We are in hearty s. mpathy with-the proposed measure that would giye no convicted blind tiger the alternative of a fine, and hope the sentiment that has made the state dry in theory will not stop with what has been done, but will go further and insist upon adequate punishment of the wretches that rob the little children of their Christmas by selling the father liquor.?Chester Reporter. From London, Paris and Berlin , have come within recent months many accounts of the employment of women at tasks heretofore supposed to be < sacred to the other sex. The street cars in Berlin are managed by women conductors, who are described as rather preferable to the men, because they are more careful and their manners better. Munition-making establish- , ments all over the war area are em- ( ploying women by the tens of thousands. Women are replacing men as operatives in all kinds of establish- j ments. They have plowed, sowed and ; harvested the greater part of the big crop that France produced the past year, and in Italy their participation 1 in all industry is said to be only less < striking than in France. A fashion, ( once set, spreads fast. In our own , country, not because of absolute necessity, but because it is easier now for women to take up new tasks, the 1 tendency to innovations of this kind , is marked. From Cleveland comes the story of women in greater numbers invading various mechanical trades. 1 The town is a great Industrial center; i some lines of its activities have been swamped with orders for their pro- ' ducta In the search for competent ' workers women would be constantly t found among the applicants, and the j experiments with them has been such . that they are regarded as a future factor of great importance in the labor 1 market We are Just beginning to realize the changes that win come to : this world by reason of the war, and of inevitable re-organization of all kinds of ideals. It will be a new sort of world, with a new civilization, that will emerge at the end, but whether the situation will be any better than what we have now remains to be seen.?Anderson Daily Mail. ? * * The Dardanelles Reckoning. The British losses in the Dardanelles adventure totalled 112,921, which is at j least one-fifth of the casualties the ( nation has suffered in the whole field of the war on land and sea. It is a tremendous sacrifice in an enterprise that was not only unsuccessful but that was unquestionably lost through , some sort of blundering. The evidence accumulates and seems to have quite convinced British public opin- i ion that incompetent leadership, rather ] than misconception of the scheme, { accounts for the failure to force the straits and capture Constantinople. ! From Turkish sources comes the re- i port that in the early stages of the attack success was within reach and might have been grasiped with one more effort, when the undertaking 1 was temporarily suspended for gen- 1 eral revision of its character. Later it is undoubtedly time that the British , were on the point of carrying the ' commanding positions, and had actu- ! ally achieved the summit of the ridge, but, because of failure to provide , support to the advanced lines, the advantage had to be relinquished and the 1 opportunity was permanently lost. The 1 British public is very deeply stirred i over the failure of the Dardanelles enterprise?never a particularly popu- \ lar undertaking?and the demand is insistent and becoming well nigh irresistible for an exposure of the real responsibility for it. The government has refused thus far to make any statement as to the personnel of the officers held accountable ror tne errors and the losses of the campaign, but it may not be able to resist much longer, and, sooner or later a reckoning must be taken of the whole business. Such a reckoning will almost certainly demonstrate that the undertaking was lost in execution and not, as so many have insisted, unsound in conception?Charleston Post. Obligation. Every man who is not above resorting to sharp practices when dealing with his fellow men will be scrupulously honest when the nature of his calling makes him deal with children. This is because he realizes his mental and physical superiority over the child and feels an obligation to protect the child's interests. The feeling is near akin to that noblesse oblige that ruled good men in an older day that obtains even to this day where men are white of skin and heart. Here in the south, where an inferior race presents a problem in morals and ethics, the white men of finer clay preserve the relative standing of the races and minister to their own self-respect by observing the spirit and letter of that ancient obligation of "quality." Their dealings with the colored people are marked by a condescending kindness, by fairness that is unwavering, and a generosity that is not so much kindness of heart as magnanimity toward an inferior. Not all men were born in this viewpoint, however, nor have all men acquired it. There are many who resent the negro's presence, feel a personal jealousy of his prosperity. and delight in doing him injury for no better cause than the color <vf his skin. Thus one may, with impunity, cheat a negro. One may sell him a cheap article at a great price. One may knock him down and explain that he was impudent. One may abuse a negro prisoner?even hang a negro without trial. One may do all this and get away with it because on any jury or in any community there will be enough whites who.are strangers to noblesse oblige to carry the weight of public opinion against him who was wronged. I believe it is a self-evident fact that the finer the blood, the cleaner the heart and the bigger the brain of the white man. the more kindly he will treat the negro; and that as men descend in the social and intellectual scale their hatred of the negro increases in exact proportion to their proximity to him. Men are known by many things ?by the company they keep, by the friends they win; by their enemies. But in this land where trash and quality are rapidly blending, and where the one often seems to be the other, show me how a white man treats the negro and assuredly I can tell you what he is?whether the sparkle on the wine or the dregs in the bottom of the glass.?Fountain Inn Tribune. THE 8WI8S REPUBLIC Can Mobilize 240,000 Men in Twenty Four Hours. "Nowheri else in the world has the ~ Katton nrHiltrforl it. Ill I UL SCU-UOICUOC ucikvt uvtj U^vvv. .. | self to geographical conditions than in the little republic of Switzerland," says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. "While the subject of national preparedness holds such a large place in the minds of the American people, it becomes of value to study the remarkable system the Swiss people have evolved?a system fitted to national ideals which do not accept the doctrines of militarism on the one hand, and which reject the doctrines of peace at any price on the other. The Swiss system is particularly interesting to Americans because of the kindred theories of government in Switzerland and the United States, the slmiliar aspirations of their people, and the close relationship of their needs. "Although they have democratic tendencies perhaps?stronger than our own, although they believe in local self-government perhaps more thoroughly than we do, and although they possess a very deep conviction that central authority must not encroach upon the rights of the cantons, the people of Switzerland have made themselves a nation under arms, yet a nation without the slightest thought of adding a foot to its territory or of disturbing that peace whose blessings it loves and appreciates. "There is nothing in Switzerland corresponding to a regular army. One might hunt for months around the country without finding one man whose profession is military; yet almost as hard would it be to discover one able-bodied citizen who has not had some soldier training: "While Switzerland has a population smaller than that of Massachusetts, with an area twice as large, it can mobilize 240,000 men in 24 hours. On the same basis, the United States could put 8,000,000 men into the field, though of course it would take longer to get them to central points of mobilization. Behind a field army of 240,000 the Swiss have a reserve of equal proportions. The United States CStrloa mrotam Ha VO Q LUUIU UIIUC1 onioo D/ovvi** u?*?v ? trained army of citizens reaching a grand total of 16,000,000 men of all arms. Uuder that standard we would have 160 trained men from every town of 1,000 population; while a county of 30,000 Inhabitants could thus send 400 men to the front and hold as many more in reserve. "There is no soldiery in the military world costing as little per man as the Swiss. "This difference arises from the fact that the army of the Swiss confederation is in truth a citizen army. It is organized on what has been called the 'voluntary compulsory' system, to which the Swiss people have freely resigned themselves in order to guarantee the independence of their country. "The Swiss boy, at the age of ten, is put into the gymnastic class at 3chool, and begins learning the element of the soldier drill on the school house playgrounds. Long be- I fore he is old enooigh to be called upon for service he has learned to do the manual exercises and to go through much of the drill that after- ( ward fits him for a soldier. "When a boy reaches 17 years he is 1 liable to service?a liability which < continues until he is 60 years of age. Even after that he may be liable, if he is capable of doing any other army I work tha nsoldiering, such as acting as baker or veterinary surgeon. "Yet with all of this universal training, the only people in Switzerland who make arms exclusive profooolAn ora fho onm TY1Q n^or.ln-ohlpf selected by the Federal assembly, and the general staff. These form the brains of the army. The rank and file belong to the cantons, just as the milita do to the state In this country. "At the age of 20 every able-bodied Swiss youth becomes a unit in the first line. During the first year of liability he must serve 75 days or more, and 11 days for each successive year he is called to the standard. Services in the first line continues until the citizen has reached the age of 32. Therefore he becomes a unit In the Landwehr or First Reserve, in which he remains until he is 44. He must give 9 days of service during each four years that he belongs to the Landwehr. From 44 to 50, he serves in the Landsturm or Second Reserve. "Rich and poor serve side by side in the Swiss army, and there is none of the 'crack' regiment idea to be found. There is only one general, and he is picked from a nation of soldiers; nor is his remuneration lordly for his salary is only $10 a day. The caste system has not been permitted to creep into the Swiss army, for the very essence of the Swiss military idea is that all men start from the scratch, and that brain and ability must win the race. "Every commune in Switzerland is required by federal law to maintain, at public expense, a safe and suitable target range of not less than 1,000 feet. All legally organized shooting clubs of the commune have the right to use this range free of charge. The government gives 60 cents a year to each club for each member doing a prescribed amount of shooting during the year. The annual number of shots fired in target practice in the army and in the shooting clubs reaches nearly 30,000,000 rounds, two-thirds of which practice is done by the shooting clubs. "Though surrounded on all sides by belligerent millions, whose interests might be served by asking her to step out of their paths, Switzerland today stands an Island of peace in a sea of war. because she has been prepared to maintain ner neutrality and her -freedom, or at least to exact such a price for them that none of the nations at war can afford to pay for their violation." Origin of the Christmas Tree.?St. Winifred, who was in the eighth century a missionary to the Scandinavians, is credited in an ancient legend with having caused to be set up in the home of the first Christmas tree. He told the people: "You shall go no more into the shadows of the forest to keep your feast with secret rites, but you shall keep them at home with laughter, song and love." | MW~ The Rayo Lights Like a Gas Jet ?

Grist's So v t They All Look Good There are over 250 so-called Old Line or "Legal Reserve" Life Insurance companies in business in the United States today, and 175 of them are less than 10 years of age. The agents of each one of these companies claims, no doubt, that the particular company of which he carries a rate book, is the best in the business and issues the most liberal contract, etc., while many of these agents write business the large majority could not do so but for the fact that the average insurer in buying life insurance, buys the agent's gab instead of the contract?in other words, he never undertakes to see for himself whether or not the company the agent represents is old, strong, and well established and has a record, Covering its entire career, for giving each policy holder a square deal, issuing liberal policies and carrying out the contract at a low net cost?the all-important features to consider in entering what is expected to be a life-long contract. In other words, he does not "look before he leaps.'' The contracts of all companies look good and liberal and most of them are liberal when compared with those issued previous to 10 or 12 years ago, but when compared with the contract of some other companies, the Mutual Benefit of Newark, N. J., for instance, they do not appear so liberal. Don't buy insurance from any agent for personal reasons, but solely because you are convinced that what you are buying is the best from every viewpoint, that is to be had; as you will probably go on paying premiums on m illiberal policy In an illiberal company for many years after the "personal reasons" have vanished. Don't buy from the agent who talks nothing but "low cost" any more than you would apply the same reason to buying a suit of clothes, because while there is a material difference in the post of clothes and also a material lifference in their value, there is not i. material difference in the cost of Life Insurance, but there is in the value of the contracta I do not know, Mr. Man, whether or not you are figuring on buying Life Insurance, but you do; but I do know that if you are ind will give me an opportunity I can prove to your satisfaction that the V>nn n nAunrlnc Tllllllill ncucill* HUD a I WV1U vvfvatMB \ period of more than 70 years, that s us white as snow?that no company has a superior one for low cost, or lsmes as liberal policies.
