Paris, the Cosmopolite. Pans, the changeless, is ever changing. The most cosmopolite of cities, it is the most provincial. The boulevards are an epitome of human lile. The bouleardior is just as much of a dandy as ever he was; a- (1, let me add, just as much of a pessimist. Though' h enjoys the world to its topmost bent, nothing is a (rood as it was-not even oysters. As a rule, coming from anywhere out of France, cither from England or Germany, to Paris is like i-u-pping from a cold jnto a warm bath. Even the little swindles with which you are cozened of your g).)d small change have a charm about them. There i a constant suspicion of music in the air. The sna'ke-hiuu-oute from the Rue Richelieu at the head of the Huulevird des Italiens down by the Grand opera house and the Madeline and into and across the place where they once set up the guillotine and did the aristocrats and some others to deaths and onward up tho Champs Elyses to the Arch of Stars, has the true serpentine fascination. The smell of the asphalt is in truth of the lotos bloom. The wavings of the chestnut boughs, signals of tho forbidden, and siren. The glitter is licentious and dazzling; a certain resplendency of costume and suggestion under the electric clusters about the cafes the theater and the hotels. Then the procession I less you .'-the procession; the red legs of the soldiers and the white caps of the grisettes; ouvrier, cocotte and gamin, helterskelter amid the hurrying throng of sightseers, foreign and domestic for even the genuine Parisian never ceases to be a sightseer the procession is the most wondrous, the most everchanging in the whole world, yet always the same, and no end to it. Just back and forth ao-aiii, in living loom whose shuttles flsfih through strands of map colors, not always the TVsanest; a merry-go-round, through whose brilliant medley of contradictions, of laughter and light one can" not help catching glimpses of another sort of Niobe, all tears; of sorrow and and anguish. Nor any lack of humor Harlequin with his cap and bells, albeit the art of 1 )0kmg is on the down grade, and good red wine is going out of fashion, because very dear and very hard to get. Eh bien! Paris still has its compensations. -Henry Waterson in Louisville Courier-Journal.

Chance for Plain Girls. "It is a great mistake to suppose that beauty cuts a big figure in the employment of stenographers." sud a business man of large experience; "the 'prettv typewriter' is a stock phrase of the funny man ancl the comic papers of the present day, just as the 'pretty governess' was in the 40s and the 'pretty milliner' in the 00s, but as a matter of fact good looks are rather a detriment to a woman when applying for a position in an oihee than otherwise. No one is likely to excel in more than one profession, and since being pretty h a profession in itself the general feeling is that if a woman has succeeded in that she won'ff be good for much else. The chances are that her brain will be occupied with her pompadour and her highly polished nails to the exclusion of more important things. Anher reason why the pretty stenographer is at a a bcount is that most of the large business houses employ a woman as head stenographer, and women are even more apt to look askance at a pretty face than men are. They are in the secret. They know how much or how little is apt to be behind it. So, all things considered, the girf with red hair and freckles stands a better chance than the beanty when it comes to seeking employment in a business office."

A Born Lawyer A man who was not wise in the ways of the world was the father of a hrigftt boy. He spent much time debating how the lad's future was to be shaped and finally went for advice to the village sage who at one time had been a part of the sehish striving wor d and who left it scarred and shaken, but full of wisdom. And the sage told the-perplexed father now to determine his son's future and the father straightway went and did as he was advised. But the next day he sought but sage in sore perplexity. Ine whole plant went wrong", said he, and" I am in a quantry what to do nert." "What did I advise you to do?" asked the wise man. "You told me to leave George in a room with a work on t heology, an apple and some small change; that if when I returned I found him reading the book, he was to made a clergyman; if eating the app e, a farmer; if interested in the monev. a banker." "Well?" "But when I com2 back he was seate:! on the book with the half devoured apple in his hand and the. money in his pocket." "That settles it," said the sage; the lad is a . born lawyer."

. A Story Of Three Men. . A Columbus, Ohio Bank has issued a booklet in which is recorded a "Story of Three Men." For ten years number one spent on an average of $5.00 a month foolishly. Number two saved $5.00 at home where it could earn no interest. Number . three deposited his $5.00 regular each month in the bank, receiving compound interest. Here is the result; No. 1, nothing; No. 2, $600. No. 3, $699.00 The difference between two and three represents the interest those little savings earned .$99.00. Which do you intend to copy? Follow the plan of No. 3 and deposit your little savings in the Bank. Yes; The Merchant Who Advertises Can Afford To Sell It For Less! No matter what the article is, unless it should be something whose selling prize is as fixed as that of a postage stamp, the merchant who is an enterprisingadvertiser is sure to sell it for less than the merchant, who does not advertise. For, in spite of his advantages buying buying in large quantities for cash or short credit, taking instart advantage of buying opportunities his selling advantage is the decisive factor. For he is enabled to count his profits on a large aggregate of sales not compelled to secure them from a few sale, for he would be taxing a small number of customers" with the entire support of hisbuisness. A store that makes net profit of $100 in a day from sales to three hundred customers, is sure to sell to each of those customers on a closer margin of profit than is the nonadvertising store that is compelled to make enough to cover a daily expense of $50 out of sa es made to fifty customers. f you are one daily customers of the merchant who advertises, you are paying but one three-hundredth part of his store profits on the day you by, If you are one of the fifty daily customers of the non-advertising merchant you are paying one-fitfieth of his profit.

I can recall thinking in pehlk conveyances that if the men standing on the platform around ras could realize how great a genius was rubbing elbows with them in the quiet looking boy by their side they would be profoundly impressed. As a result, I was so exhausted by the confining work of cameo cutting by day and bv drawing at
