A prominent western man has two sons. One is big and husky, like his father, but the other is more slight.

Threatened tho K~g. The honor of knighthoon: is not one which nppen's to everybody. Coke of Norfo'k. who considered that he had a far 'e:!er claim than the speaker to the deignation of first commoner of England. strongly disliked the idea of a handilie to his name. This fact was well l:nown to George IT. When Coke was chosen to head a deputation pray ing the king to disinss from his per son and council those advisers who by their conduct had proved themselves ai:ke enemies to the throne and peo p!e George announced that he would -et e'en with him. "If Coke of Nor folk enters my prcsence." he declared, "I swe::r I'll knight him." The threat was repeated to Coke. who rejoined, "If he dares such a thing I swear I'll break his sword." And as the sturdy Norfo!!z squire was quite capable of doing this. George refrained from car rying out his threat.-London Chron iele. Clumsy Breton Women. To the casual observer the Bretonne is not attractive or even supremely In terest in. As a femme de chambreshe is clumsy. slovenly and rough of speech, lacking the graces and neat ness of her Parisian sister. She shuf fles about in felt slippers, her volumi nous black skirts catch in everything. and if she waits at the table d'hote her method of handling cutlery is strongly calculated to sever one's jugular vein. She has no regularity in her work, and at the hour that she ought to be mak ing beds she is probably sitting on the public staircase nursing her baby. She is generally married and, conversely. often ten years younger than you take her to be. To English eyes she is rare ly beautiful. Her hair is trained tight ly under her cap, her cheeks have sel dom any delicacy of tint, and her fig ure and motions are ungainly and awkward-Wide World Magazine. rice of cotton, Merchandis , 11 Relieves Backache Instantly Sloan's Liniment is a great remedy for backache.

Hungary. Being both in love with the daughter of the farmer who enploy-d them. they decided to fight for her with their heavy horsewbips. the girl agreeing to act as umpire and accept the winner. in order to insure that there should be no running away, they rst fastened themselves to two posts in the ground.

WbIstler's remarkable genius Is no doubt responsible for his many eecen triciries. He qaarreled indiscriminate ly with friend and foe, and for him the public were a set of iguoramuses who had no right to any opinion what ever. Especially well known is his quar rel with John Ruskin, who in his "Ars Clavigera" had heaped scorn on one of Whistler's "Nocturnes" In the following language, "I have seen and heard much of cockney impudence be fore now, but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask 200 guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face." The artist promptly sued for damages, and in the celebrated trial which fol lowed he was awarded one farthing, which coin he triumphantly wore as a watch charm ever afterward. In his art work, as in his own per sonal appearance, Whistler was fastid ious. His palettes were beautifully wiped, his brushes faultlessly kept. and as for his general behavior it was foreign, one may even say esotic. Why Thackeray Was Moved to Tears. A lady, an intimate friend and frequent visitor at the Thackeray home, called late one afternoon. Ahe was shown into the study. and on en tering perceived the novelist himself seated at his desk, his he:id bowed upon his arms. Fearing she was in truding in the presence of some great and unknown grief. she paused. hesi tating. Then, thinking she auight be of some help or at least express her sympathy. she stepped forward. Just then Thackeray looked up. Ili shoul ders were shaking. the tears ::tream Ing from his eyes. "Little Nell is dead." he said broken ly. "Little Nell?" his visitor Interrogat ed. "Yes, Little Sell." was the answer. "She is dead. I've just been reading it." Before him on his desk lay an open copy of "Old Curiosity Shop." Ladias' Home Journal. Why Suffer From Eczema?
