They are E men’s faces I’m talking about ' The MB lighr strikes that window so that it makes a pretty good looking glass of T * it, and I’m truthful when I tell yon ’ '“• that it holds up mj many lies as it does elies in the course of a day. The only difference Is that the woman makes no bones of what she’s doing. She'll g| v „ a twirl to her front hair and a pull to her veil and make sure that her hat and nose are on straight, ami she doesn’t care whether passersby are on / to her game or not.

You can tell from where 1 stand that he doesn’t see a thing that's in that window except his own beautiful reflection. He’ll study the effect of his scarf and his gloves, and then he'll look lower down, where there are no goods, and step out a little to get the cut of his trousers ami shoes. And very often he’ll put on that ’look pleas ant’ expression the photographer asks you to wear that makes a driveling idiot of you in the picture. There is no great harm in it provided the men an In no great hurry and have nothing better to do, but when I hear them loftily discussing mirrors in connection with their wives I have to smile to my self.”—Providence Journal.

Sii. he said, “I have been playing my part tor a hundred consecutive nights with the utmost zeal and care I’ont you think I should have a raise?” What part do you play?” asked the manager. 1 am in the third act. sir,” replied the actor, apparently astonished at the quest ion. I have to stake SIOO in the gambling scene.” ’ l our claim is just,” replied the mani ager. "Beginning tonight you may stake $200.” Licked Into Shape. 1 lie phrase “licked into shape” owes its origin to a very ancient fable. In I’tiilei s “Ovid's Metamorphoses,” fable ~3 lias this heading: ’’Bears bring forth a lump of flesh and by licking reduce it to a proper shape.” This tradition that the cubs of bears are cast shapeless and remain so till the dam has licked them into proper form is emphasized in Pope's “Dunclad:” So watchful bruin forms, with plastic care. Each growing lump and brings It to a bear. In Shakespeare, too. "King Henry \ 1.," part 3. act 3. section 2, we find: Like to a chaos, or an unlicked bear whelp. That carries no impression like the dam. A <lark Twain Anecdote. A friend of the humorist tells a story of the days when Mark Twain was a pilot on the Mississippi. One day Mr. Clemens missed his boat. Instead of inventing an excuse he reported to his superior officer as follows: "My boat left at 7:20. I arrived at the wharf at 7:35 and could not catch it.”—Harper's Weekly.
