Patien. r-j food Natured, Barefooted cud White Robed. Parngun; ! ■ ilch in local color. The pIcturesuUG c!. icter of the native population, vlth their quaint Indian features and iU of everyday life, is Interesting to c.nj body fond of observing strange i liases of human life. By nature these | cople are patient and gentle, seldom complaining, chattering and laughing from sunrise to sunset and taking small thought of what the morrow may have In store for them. It Is hard to bn; glue how Lopez could have drilled t): ; Into fighting material ol'etr _’i to keep In check the col of Argentina. Brazil an;, t for five long, weary years, and it rj a’.:s volumes for the Indomitable energy of the man that he was able to sustain his position for so protracted a time. Clothing is very much of a superfluity In Paraguay, says the Boston Transcript. The attire of the women is a cotton chemise with a long sheetllke shawl, or manta, passed over the head and around the body In Moorish | fashion. The dress of the men Is equally simple, consisting only of cot- | ton shirt and trousers. Both sexes are guiltless of foot covering. At tipies an almost uncanny feeling rises when a i group of these white robed, dark haired maidens pass suddenly with the | silent tread of unshod feet. Of a morning iu the market places ! the women folk flock to sell their wares, carrying on their heads the bns- ! kots ceiitalnlng the few cents’ worth 1 of native produce they have been able i to gather together for disposal In the ; towns. The soft Guarani language, the common tongue of the Paraguayans, l adds further charm to the scene. No Discharge. “Maggie," said the Inexperienced ! young thing to the cook, “the biscuits were a sight. If you can't do hotter next time, I will have to discharge

you."

“Ye will, will yeV” Maggie retorted.

I “I’ll have ye know, mum, that I’ve bln workin’ out two years, an' I’ve work ed for eighty-nine of the best families in town, an' 1 ain't never bin dis charged yet. I’m leavin’ this afternoon

fer n better place.”—Judge.

None For Her.

“Pop!"

“Yes, my sou.” “When a person saws wood It means | they say nothing, don't It?” “Yes, my boy.” “And do women ever saw wood?” FNo: women believe that sawing wood Is a man's work.”—Yonkers Statesman.

Old Turkish Customs. As long ago as 1013 Coryate visited Constantinople and has left a minute account of its manners and customs. Among other matters he notes that “it Is the custom that whensoever any tire arisoth in the city to hang up him In whose house It beginneth, as now a cook In whose house It begun was hanged up presently after the fire ceased.” The Turks themselves, it appears, were models of good breeding. “The Turk doth never at the saluting of his friend at any time of the day or when he drlnketh to him at dinner or supper put off his turban, us we Christians do our hats one to another, but boweth his head and putleth his right hand mmn his breast, so that lie utterly disliketh the fashion that Is used among us of putting olT our hats. Therefore, when he wisheth any ill to his enemy he prayed! God to send him no more rest than a Christian's hat.”

To Make Them Smart. “Mr. Pedagog Is an oldtime teacher. Ho believes in the rod to brighten up

dull boys.”

"Well, Isn't that the natural way to make them smart?”

Something Happened.

The Model Clothing Co

[Original.] Bob Southwick was sauntering on the street, a victim of ennui. He was twenty-three years old. possessed a fortune, but was miserable. The trouble with Bob was that he had nothing to interest him lie wished something would happen. Something did happen. Indeed, something remarkable happened—very remarkable. A young girl, pretty and prettily dressed, came out of an otlice building looking very much perplexed. She turned northward, walked rapidly for a dozen steps, stopped, turned and walked southward for an equal distance, stopped again and muttered to herself, but loud enough for Bob, of whose presence she was unconscious, to hear: “What in the world shall 1 do?” Bob stepped up to her, raised his hat politely and said: "Can I be of sendee to you? You seem to be in a quandary about something.” The girl became suddenly conscious that a young man was standing deferentially before her and had asked her a question. She suddenly replied by a question. “What time is it?" Bob took out his watch and told her that It was a quarter to 12 o’clock. “Oh, my goodness gracious!” “Please tell me,” he said, "what’s your trouble. I may he able to help

you.”

“You can’t.” "Do you want anything?” “Yes.” "What Is it?” "I want a husband.” “Phew!” exclaimed the young man. then, after a pause, “Will I do?" The girl knit her brows, bit her lip and finally said that lie would. “All right. I'll look into the matter." “There is no time. 1 must ho married liefore the clock strikes 12.” "But you can surely tell me why this thing must he so sudden.” “It's too long a story.” Just then a man came out of the building before which they stood, approached the young lady and said: “The jig’s up.” “The jig's up. It's ten minutes to 12.” “This gentleman.” she said, meaning Boh, “is tlilnking of”— “There’s no time for thinking. We n '■ t be acting,” said the man. “If I hadn’t a wife and family. I'd help you

out.”

“If you’ve got to have n husband right off,” said Bob resolutely, “Pm your man." “All right,” said the other. “Pm a lawyer. I'll see that you are well paid for what you do and no trouble. Come

along.”

lie hurried the couple around the corner to the office of a justice of the peace. The justice was coming out on his way to luncheon. “Marry this couple," said the lawyer, “and do it quick.” “You guarantee it’s all right?”

“Certainly.” "The names?”

“Mine Is Robert Blair Southwick.”

“Y'our name, please." “Ella Ruth Gurney.”

“One minute of 12," remarked the lawyer, looking at his watch and shoving It back In his pocket excitedly. “Go ahead, judge, and he quick about

it.”

A brief ceremony was performed, and a moment after the couple had been pronounced husband and wife the clock struck 12. The bride fell limp into a chair and fanned herself vigorously. “Now make out a certificate,” said the lawyer to the justice, “stating that you married these two before 12 o’clock this day,” then, turning to Bob, “If you will accompany me and Miss Gurney”— “Mrs. Southwick, you mean.” “Beg pardon—to my office we will be happy to make this marriage worth your while, and I will guarantee you a divorce without trouble or remuneration.” "Must that he got right off?” asked Bob. “There’s been hurry enough about getting into the thing.’ I would like a little time about getting out of The lawyer wiped the perspiration from his forehead and said more deliberately: No hurry about that, I assure you. Perhaps I may as well explain briefly the occasion for this hurried marriage, ami we can all meet to arrange further plans later. Miss Gurney”— “Mrs. Southwick, please." “Beg pardon-Mrs. Southwlck-re-turned today from a long trip in foreign lands, having been delayed on the voyage home. A year ago her uncle died leaving a will bequeathing her his fortune on condition that she marry his son, Elmer Gurney, on or before 12 o’clock today. If Elmer Gurney refused or died she would Inherit anyway If married on or before the said date. I his was to secure a succession Gurney died a week ago." "Thank you,” said Bob. "I’ll see you later about the divorce.” Then to the , lady ho said. “May 1 be permitted to call, Mrs. Southwick?” “I shall be very happy.” leutr" th ‘ 8 evwilUK at 8 ^ conven - “It will.” “Your address, please.” “Washington place—No. 04.” Good day," raising his hat. “Pleased to have met you.” hor the first time the absurdity of the situation occurred to the girl, and SUP** “Don’t mention It” There was no divorce.

Why ft Was Cheaper. Two poorly clad women wore proceeding homewurd after the exhilarating gayeties of the mothers’ meeting, and what more natural than that they should discuss douiwtic economy? "Dae ye ken, Mrs. Brown, I’m due ten and nine for gas this quarter, and I dlnua ken how I'll get it paid."

Education. I consider a human soul without education like marble In n quarry, which shows none of Its Inherent beauties until the skill of the polisher fetches out the colors, makes the surface shine and discovers every ornamental cloud apot and vein that runs throughout the body of it. Education, after the same manner when it works upon a noble mind, draws out to view every latent ; r « nd Povfect'on, which, without s < h helps, are never able to make h*’h appearance and would otherwise be lost.—Selected.

The farmer caught a sheep, opened Its mouth and directed ttu* boy to look within. “You sec, sonny,” he explained, "the sheep has no incisors, or cutting teeth, In its upper Jaw. With Its toaguo it makes a hall of grass, and It hold* this hall firmly between tb* euttlsg teeth of the lower Jaw and a callou* pad-see it?—above. Now, tb# halt must be cut up. How?
