In the omnibus he took bis seat near the conductor, and always showed himself very obliging, passing up the money of passengers and returning the change, but to the latter be al ways managed to add a frano, or a half-franc.

PEN MIGHTIER THAN TONGUE Neat Excuse of Brilliant Writer for His Inability to Deliver Ex pected Speech. Not long ago a flourishing Indus trial town decided to honor a dis tinguished writer who lifhls plays and novels has given us so many vivid pictures of his life and characteris tics. Like many clever writers and talkers, he is no orator, and when he consented to be the chief guest at a, banquet ? people wondered bow he Would get through the after-dinner speech. The toast of the evening, proposed in facile and florid phrase, was enthusiastically honored, and as ' the great man reluctantly rose to re ply some of the guests doubtless re called the flashing epigrams In his plays. He paused a moment, and then, glancing round the crowded room, pulled a fountain pen out of one of. his pockets. "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen/' he said, as he non chalantly Angered the pen, "this iB my only means of expression. I thank you." Burial Place of Porter Clay. In the old cemetery at Camden, Ar kansas, the body of Porter Clay, broth er of Honry Clay, has reposed since his death In 1850. He was admitted to the bar In Kentucky, became state auditor, but began to preach in the Baptist churches, and in time conse crated himself to that work. Finally ho removed with his family to Illinois, where a dispute with his church au thorities compelled him to resign a pastorate. Soon afterward he became a wandering evangelist, going to Cam den in that capacity and founding a church. He died there , in 1860, two years before his illustrious brother. During all the years that have passed the women of this little church have cared for his grave. At first they marked it with a headboard, but the New Century Club of Camden erected a stone slab over the grave'. ? Acetylene and Gasoline. The flame of acetylene gas is in tensely white, and when examined4 by the spectroscope is found to resemble sunlight more nearly than any other artificial lUumlnant. Its . extreme whiteness makes the naked light somewhat trying to the eyes, but when the light is softened by & suitable globe this objection is largely over come, Whether this light or that pro duced by a gasoline rapor lamp 4s the easier on the eyes we are not prepar ed to say, nor can we offer an opinion as to the comparative cost of the two systems of lighting. An acetylene gas plant la by no means difficult to oper ate, and when denary precautions are taken there' to absolutely no dan ger. A Lockjaw 8uperstitton Exploded. There is a peculiar, but at the same time widespread, superstition about lockjaw that should one be out be tween the first finger and the thumb this terrible disease to sure to follow. However, -an eminent British scien tist, who is an authority on tetanus, to give the disease its scientific name, has Just given a vigorous contradiction to this superstition. A out between thp thumb and finger js no more like ly to cause lockjaw than a out between any of the other fingers, he says. It Is not the position ot the out that brings on tfcovdtoease, but the germs that get into the wound. Bite or 8tlng. "Keep away from that,", said a waiter at an uptown restaurant to a man who was standing in front of a newly arrived case of turtles And who was sucking his finger as if in pain.

When to ward the end of the evening she men tloirod that who wan invited to tho Porters' dance the next week he urged her to promsle that she would dance every other dance with him. "liut 1 didn't t*ay I waa going," 1411/. abeth protcbtrd laughingly. "Hut you will go, won't you? And whether you go or not, won't you promioe to dunce with me anyway." "Oil, I'll promise that/' Elizabeth autumn! him, "but I'm not ?t all euro that I'll go." "liut if you do so ? " "If 1 go," promised Elizabeth, smil ing. To Winlhrop'a great disappointment Elizabeth did not go. He met her sister Dorothy, however, and from her he received the explanation that Hllx abeth had decided that she couldn't come. Wlnthrop felt abused. After several days he persuaded a mutual friend to take him to call on Elizabeth. The day following his call, feeling that his acquantanoe was sufficiently assured to warrant the proceeding, be telephoned her an Invitation to go with him to the theater. She would '^perfectly love to," she trilled over the telephone,, and accordingly they went. The evening waB one of such unalloyed enjoyment to Wlnthrop that he called the following week and ven tured another invitation. lie was sur. prised and somewhat disconcerted by the way bIio received it. She hesi tated, Bald she would like to awfully, but really? -here she glanced at her sister Dorothy, who was present ? she was afraid she couldn't. Temporarily disheartened, Wlnthrop restrained himself from calling for a I week, at the end of which time he dropped in casually with a gltt of vio lets, and, finding Elizabeth exceeding ly cordial, invited her to go to a con cert. Her. evident delight waa as balm to Wlnthrop. Surely, he told himself, ho had been unduly affected by her previous refusal. % * The concert was a beautiful success tdWonthrop at least, though it was little ho heard oT the music. Eliza beth evidently was enjoying herself immensely, yet when Wlnthrop ven tured the suggestion that there was another concert tho following week he was met with a dampening vagueness. Bltaabeth knew she'd enjoy It, she was really crazy to go. Anyway, she'd let him know the next day. The following morning there came what Wlnthrop considered a very chilly note. Elizabeth had decided afte,r all that it wouldn't be possible for hor to arrange to go. Wlnthrop decided aavagely that he would let her alone. The world was full of girls ? Nevertheless,. a week or so later he found himself once jnore calling on Elizabeth. Her cordial greeting and unconcealed pleasure In his company soothed and encouraged him. She certainly didn't seem like the girl who would blow hot one minute and cold the next. Why, then, he wondered, did she behave in such a strange way ?? He made up his mind to find out and presently his opportunity came. Bliz abeth had just spoken of a play that she was anxious to see. "Well," said Wlnthfbp meaning, "you know you can go If you want to." Elizabeth blushed. "How?" she asked. n "With me," said Wlnthrop, bodly. Elizabeth fidgeted with the sofa cushion- "Oh, I'd love to," she began, "and I will If?-" "If what?" Insisted Winthrop. Elizabeth, nank back in her chair with a little sigh of disgust. "Oh, you obtuse man," she cried. "I suppose you're going to keep at me until I tell you." "Yes," said Wlnthrop, firmly, "I am." "Well, then," said Elizabeth, "TH go If it happens to be my turn for'the suit." "Your what for the what?" "By turn for the suit, Mr. Paul Pry." rejoined Elizabeth. "And If you must know all about It, I suppose I may as well tell you now'. The whole painful truth is that'dad was so hard up this winter he couldn't afford to get Dor othy and me each a good suit and a good par# dress. As we can wear each other's things perfectly well, we got one nice suit and one silk slip and we drape the slip with different over dresses, and as we've always worn nearly the same kind of clothes, any* way, lota of people don't know the difference." She paused and looked Into Wln throp's astonished faoe for an Instant. Then she laughed. "Isn't It funny?" she asked. ... v "It's ? It's ? tragic,". said Winthrop. "But the world'sJfcJl of clothes and I've alwaya Intended to furnish Mrs. Wlnthrop with a complete set of 'em. Wouldn't you ? couldn't you ? won'^ you see If they'll fit you?" ? Chicago Dally Maws.
