A Quick Wittcd Doctor. A French surgeuti who once attending a sultan resorted to nn expedient which, although efficacious, might hnvv resulted in his owu death. He bad been commissioned to bleed : I the grand aeiguior and either through I timidity or nervousness had met wiili' lan awkward nccldent. The point of i [ the lancet broke off In the vein, ami ■ the blood would not How. That iwint i must be got out somehow. W itliout •topping to consider the consequences to himself, the surgeon gave his highness a violent slap in the face. This produced the desired effect, for surprise and indignation on the part of his august patient put the blood into violent circulation. The vein bled freely, and the lancet point came out. The bystanders were about to lay hands on the surgeon when he said. “First let me finish the operation ami bandage the wound." This done, he j threw himself at the feet of the sultan ' and explained bls action. | The sultan not only pardoned him. I but gave him a handsome reward for 1 keeping his wits about him in a critical moment. A Knockout. A young lawyer was engaged In a case when a witness was put in the box to testify to the reputation of the ■ place in question. This witness In answer to a query as to the reputation of the place repiled. "A poor shop.” The lawyer inquired. “You say it has the reputation of being a *po° r shop?’ ” “Yes, sir.” “Whom did you hear sny it was a 'poor shop?’ ” The witness did not recollect any one he had heard say so. “What!” said the lawyer. “You have sworn this place has the reputation of being a poof shop and yet cannot tell of any one you have ever heard say so?” The witness was staggered for a moment at the words of the lawyer, j The lawyer was feeling triumphant when the witness gathered himself together and quietly remarked, addressing the lawyer: “Well, you have the reputation of being a poor lawyer, but 1 have never heard any one say so.” Romance of an Inkstain. Pens aud furniture used in the signing of famous treaties and documents recall Archibald Forbes’ experience after Sedan. After witnessing Napoleon’s interview with Bismarck at a wayside cottage and bis subsequent surrender Forties and a fellow war correspondent slept nt the chateau which the fallen emperor had occupied the night before. The bedroom was just as Napoleon had left it and by the bed the open book with which he bad read himself to sleep. It was Lytton’s “Last of the Barons.” Sitting at the adjoining writing table. Forbes wrote his dispatch, while his companion gnawed at a ham bone, their sole remainder of food. Irate at the little eating it furnished, he flung It across, the room and upset the inkstand into which Forbes was dipping. When Forbes revisited the chateau a month or so later the Inkstain was pointed out as caused by Natwleon’s rage on learning the German terms of peace!— London Chronicle. The Order Pleased the Cook. The following story is told on a missionary of the China inland mission, a bachelor keeping house for himself in the southern part of China: One morning in ordering his dinner he wished to tell his cook to buy a chicken, instead of saying “ye” for chicken ho aspirated the word, sayiug. “Buy me a ‘che.’ ” His cook thought that was an eminently proper command and went about his marketing in high good humor. At noon the missionary found no chicken cooked—in fact, no dinner at all, for his cook had not returned. About dark the man came back, saying: “This was not a good day for buying wives, and 1 have been all day looking for one, but at last I found one for you. She is rather old and not pretty, but you can have her cheap. I have promised S4O for her.” Browning. Browning lent Lord Coleridge one of his works to read, and afterward, meeting the poet, the lord chief justice said to him: “What I could understand I heartily admired, and parts Ought to be immortal. But as to much of It I really could not tell whether I admired it or not, because for the life of me I could not understand it.” Browning replied, "If a reader of your caliber understands 10 per cent of what 1 write I think I ought to be content.” Exchange of Courtesies. One of the keenest of journalists and wits, Moritz Gottlieb Saphir, had the better of the irate stranger against whom he ran by accident at the corner of a street in Munich. “Beast!” cried the offended person without waiting for an apology. “Thank you,” said the journalist, “and mine is Saphir.” The Thorn. Caller—How pleased you must be to find that your new cook is a-stayer! Hostess—My dear, don’t mention it. She’s a stayer, all right, but unfortunately she’s not a cook.—Boston Transcript. Cruel. Jess—lie said my face was a poem. Bess—lt is—like one of Browning’s. Jess—How do you mean? Bess—Some of the lines are so deep.—Cleveland Leader. Criticism often takes from the tree caterpillars and blossoms together.— 1 Richter.

TheGreenSignal J Stary For St. Patrick’/ Day Bv NORA ROURKE Copyright. 1910, by American Press Association. Why do story writers always describe the girl who is to be the heroine of their romances as beautiful? My observation goes to show that it Is more often the homely than the prettj girl that catches the fellow. Pretty girls have a continued temptation to vanity. Homely girls know they must rely on their wits, and between beauty and wits let the homely girl once get her start and she will win every time. But the strangest cases of girls who have all the lovers they want while others go begging is she who has neither beauty nor wit. And, after all. isn’t the matter of a woman’s fascinating powers a mystery anyway? Kit Tiernan had no beauty. As to her smartness. I don't know about that; but. being an Irish girl, it is natural to suppose she had her share. ' Anyway, she could do with a man as she liked. When she came to make us a visit one spring she was barely nineteen years ojd, a little over the medium height, of a sallow complexion, somewhat bony and not past that awkwardness often conspicuous in girls between fifteen and twenty. Her only good feature was her eyes. They were of a dark brown, and there was something in them to set one a-won-dering. My intimate friend Tom Shea was a bachelor and a sort of woman hater. He was often at my house and used i to sny gallantly that when he found as good a woman as my wife be would ; marry, but not before. Tom was a good catch. He was in the plumbing business, and every one knows that plumbers have away of melting lead pipe down into gold. He was thirty I years old and ran his own shop. “Kit,” I said, “1 wish you’d marry my chum, Tom Shea. He would be better off with a wife, and if he were married he and 1 would have more in common. Now. I’ll tell you what i'll do. Let me see. This is the first day of March. If you'll land Tom on or before the 17th. St. Patrick’s day. I’ll give you a check for a thousand dollars for a wedding present.” I wished that 1 could tell by the expression that came into Kit's eyes how she felt about it, but 1 couldn't I knew that the idea of possessing a j thousand dollars was of great importance to her, hut whether the husband that was to go with it moved her at ail I had no knowledge. “How should 1 begin?” she asked. “Nonsense! Don’t sit there looking at me that way. asking me foolish questions. How have you begun with the dozens of fellows you’ve had dangling about you?” “I never did begin.” “Then how do you do it?” "I don’t know.” And. looking into her eyes for information whether or not she was telling the truth, I saw only an Innocent look that accorded perfectly with her words. Possibly she was unconscious of any attempt to inveigle her admirers. Tom was at the bouse more frequently than ever after Kit came. He affected to regard her as a chit beneath bls notice. It wasn't long, however, before he would chat with her banteringly, and my wife and I would make excuses to leave them with each other. At such times as we all came together again Tom would wear a shamefaced look, as if it were not quite satisfied with himself for spending time with so slight a creature as Kit. I could understand Tom somewhat, but Kit was as much of a puzzle as ever. During .the last ten days of the period I had given Kit to make her thousand dollars Tom Shea, who was to be chief marshal on St. Patrick’s day, was very busy planning for the parade. In fact, he didn’t appear at the house for several days. Then he came one evening when Kit knew my wife and I were going out. Tom came in just before we left, manifested an embarrassed surprise at our going, which was plainly feigned and badly feigned at that, said at first he would walk along with us to the shop, where he had some figuring to do, and ended by deciding to stay a few moments to tell Kit about the parade. We returned home at 12 o’clock, and Tom was still there, still telling her about what fine things were to be done on St. Patrick’s day. That was the last seen of Shea till he came riding down the street at the head of the SL Patrick's day procession on a milk white steed, with a green sash hanging over his right shoulder and fastened at his left side with a big star. I must digress a bit here to say that I had hired a window from which we might witness the procession. There my wife and I and Kit. with several other people whom we had invited to share our perch, went on the morning of St. Patrick’s day. There was no evidence that Kit had won her 51,000 and no evidence, judging from her appearance, which was as unreadable as ever, that she had lost it She carried a handkerchief with her of green silk to W’ave at the paraders. When Tom Shea appeared half a block away I saw him looking eagerly up at our window. As he came nearer Kit waved a white handkerchief at him. A look of terrible disappointment came in a twinkling. He came opposite the window and gave one reproachful look, when Kit drew her green handkerchief and waved it. I knew in a twinkling that the green was a signal of his acceptance. And bo it w’as. She married Tom Shea, and I paid the SI,OOO.
