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. Then he> would watoh
those to whom It came. They would

such a loss,

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

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.
"What are you doing, anyhow T**
"Well," said the man, 1 was trying
to find out which was the head and
which was the tail! Of that beast over
there in the comer, ?nd perhaps yon
can tell me, for I'd like to know

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/.

"Hut you will go, won't you? And
whether you go or not, won't you

"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
