- Shah to Fellow Poet o In his “Memories of Eighty Years,” & Chauncey M. Depew tells the following s ; . Browning, the poet, was present at a great dinner given for the shah of Persia at Stafford house, the home of the duke of Sutherland, and the finest palace in London. Every guest was asked, in erder to impress the shah, to come in all the decorations to which they were entitled. The result was that the peers came in their robes, whieh they otherwise would not have thought -of wearing on such an occasion. Browning said he had received 4 degree at Oxford and that-entitled him to a scarlet cloak. He was so outranked that he sat at the foot of the _table. The shah said to his host: “Who is that distinguished gentleman in the scarlet-cloak at the other pend of the table?” The host answered: “That is one of our greatest poets.” “That is no place for a poet,” remarked the shah; “bring him up here and let him sit next to me,” So at the -royal command the poet teok the seat of honor, The shah said to Browning: “I am mighty glad to have you near me, for I am a poet myself.” i

‘Good Reason Why He

Didn’t Put on Brakes

It does give one a feeling of security when autoing If the car has one of those “brakes tested” disks on it To be sure, the brakes may get out of order the day after the disk is pasted on, but if one doesn't know it there is no worry. Besides, it furnishes a fine alibi if one’s car is in a collision. Just point to the Dblue’ disk and tell the other fellow he must be to blame. But what is going to happen to those drivers who play the debonair in the matter .of brakes? A defective brake means less to them than a \mzzing mosquito. It reminds one of a Springfield man who was noted for the reckless way in which he slid down hills. Coming whizz bang down a particularly steep incline, a man riding with him protested. “Why didn’t you put on your brakes, for gosh sake?” he asked. “Because I haven’t any,” calmly answered the reckless driver, and proceeded to coast down hill at tep speed.—Springfield Union. .

Girls Shun Architecture One has to read this twice to believe it. ; Out of something over 5,000 United States college students who answered a questlonnaire as to their life ambitions, not a single girl wanted to be an architect. Although they wanted to he everything else on earth—everything except soldiers and architects. It would seem. that one of the greatest jobs any woman could undertake would be architecture. Especially of private residences. After all, the designing of a residence is Just putting a wall around a housekee‘pzng job. And the architect who malges the plans usually has women to. deal with as cash customers. All that ‘a4 man ever does with a new house is to explain how he would like to have the demn and then finds out there isn't going to be any den.— Los Angeles Times,

Found Out

Dr. F. X. tells of a woman whe told her physician of her pains and symptoms, forgetting none. At the end of the vecitation the doctor asked how old she was. She replied that she was forty. Deciding that a look at her blood pressure might help in a diagnosis the doctor made preparations for same, attaching the rubber part of the testing machine to her arn. T\jrning her head to witness the demonstration, the now much alarmed patient, noted the indicator rapidly rising, thirty, thirty-five, forty, when she interrupted the dogtor with, “Oh, I'm sorry; I see you can find out my age with that machine. I am.realIy forty-eight.”—Boston Globe.

Book Preserver

A coat of varnish may be appled aver the finest tooled leather or- other bhook binding without fear of injuring the color or appearance in any way. The idea is a good one for the protection of rare old books, since the varnish forms & moist-proof, wear-resist-ing coat which will preserve the cover indefinitely. It is a good idea, too, for chil&ren’s books, which soon show finger prints and other signs of wear; or «for the cook book, which is likely to become gpotted and sticky. -The washable varnish makes the binding neater and the book more sanitary,

“Alterations to Please”

The smiling little man bustled into the tailor’'s and asked to see some ready-made suits. He was given a choice, “I'll take this one,” he said, “if you'll make any alterations ¥ require.” “Certainly, sir,”” beamed the tailor. “All alterations free, sir—you read our advertisement.” “I'did,” sald the customer. “Just alter the price; then, from forty dollars to twenty-five and Tl'll take the suit with me.”

Western Story

Sir: A judge in a small Western town was determined: to stop the boys from shooting in the town. One day one of the boys got drunk and started to shoot up the place. When he was braught before the judge he was given “Twenty dollars and costs.” *“But judge,” he said, “I fired into the air.” “That's all right,’ said the judge, “you might have shot an angel.”
