The Hypocrite a Genta. Really to be a hypocrite must retire a horrible strength of character. An ordinary man such as you or I generally fail3 at last because he has not enough energy to be a man. Bat the hypocrite must have enough energy to be two men. It is said that a liar should have a good memory. But a hypocrite must have not only a good memory of the past, hut a consistent and creative vision of the future; his unreal self must be so far real to him. The perfect hypocrite should be a trinity of artistic talent. He must be a novelist like Dickens to create a false character. He must be an actor like Garrlck to act it. And he must be a business man like Carnegie to profit by it. Such a genius would not be easy to find in any country. G. K. Chesterton.

IMonde It ace Fall to Thrive In Climate Like American Northwest. , Charles E. Woodruff, of Manila, P. I, discusses in the Medical Record the physical degeneration what is found to occur In north European races when they , settle in the dry, trlght atmosphere of the American northwest. Although the first generation does well, the second enc 13 feeble, easily attacked by tuberculosis and other chronic diseases and the families die out in a few generations. The brunette races do well In bright sunshine, because they are accustomed to it, rhile the blondes are made nervouä toy it. But it Is the northern blonde races that give ua the strong brains that we need to perpetuate our nation, and these do not come from the brunette races of the south. It is important for U3 to preserve these blonde types, and to that end it 13 necessary that physicians should adYise them to keep from the Influences that Injure them. The best Aryan blood is being wasted from our nation at pre3ent. Scandinavian colonization is Impossible In the tropics. The average brain weight and intUlgence increase as we go north in Europe, and this brain weight does count. We should favor the emigration of tnese northern races and preserve them a3 far as possible. Western and southern Alaska furnish a climate that is congenial to them. As a health resort for neurasthenics It Is also of value, the cool, damp air being helpful and quieting to the nervoui yitem. CHANGE THE VIBRATION. It Makes for Health. A man tried leaving off meat, potatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with ct earn, some crisp toast and a cup of Postum. His health began to Improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place ence ia a while where his systt-m seems to become clojrged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind put"? aside food of low nutritive value and takes up fcod and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of be!;:;; quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of GrapeNuts is the natural phosphate of potash grown la t'ae grains from which it iä made. This is the clement which transforms albumen in the body, into the soft gray substance which fills brj.Iu and nrve centres. A few days' use of Grape-Nuts will give one a degree of nervou3 strength well worth tbe trial. Lock in pkgs. for the little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a Reason."

Who ; the Si.sldyf Apparently there is some earnestness in the discussion of the postal de ficit this year. It is debated every ! year, but never before has there been such i disposition to go to the bottom and to suggest remedies. After the first few days of discussion, it was evident that the President had not reached the root of the matter in his annual message, lie had put the magazines under a charge of practically getting subsidy from the government. But all that he really proved was that a subsidy, or something that nniounted to a subsidy, was being paid. Who is tc.;lng it? The ßiS't'.izines have not been slaw to answc '.hat at an average cost of carry lr.- cond-class .matter of 0.22 ernt tVfound, the railroads are the onca fcft.' are receiving the subsidy. They IisWe brought facts and comparisons to the support of their contentions. The government, for example. Is paying a great deal more per pound than express companies charge, and the express companies are doing so well that they have to cut up stock dividends every little while to keep their surplus from overflowing the place. If these are the facts, why does not .he government get after its contracts with the railroads? It would seem to be the part of good business sense first to learn what is a reasonable and fair price for carrying second-class matter and then to charge that price. It is ridiculous for the postoiSce to assert that the magazines are compelling it to lose $C4)000,otj a year. The magazines do not compel the postofiice to do anything. They accept the price charged by the govonvnent, and they would have to accept it, if the price ivas increased. But it should not be increased, until the government has satisfied itself that it is getting the test possible rates from tue railroads for carrying the mails. Minneapolis Journal. 31 r. Knot Ho- 'Well. Russia and Japan, in the rejection of Secretary Knox's plan for the neutralization of the Manehurian railways, are firm and polite, Japan the mo:e polite, but not the less firm. Their rejection was inevitable, as Mr. Knox no doubt reckoned. For the two filchers of Manehurian spoil, mutual promisors in the Portsmouth Treaty as to evacuation, now that their spoil is threatened, naturally stand together. ' But Mr. Knox, nevertheless. ha? achieved the only purpose he could have deemed possible under the circumstances, ile has prevented an ipso facto modification of the Portsmouth Treaty, lie registers a protest against the silent usurpation of Russia and Japan and has our protest and their refusal spread upon the Internat tonal records, as it were. The title for Japan and Russia, which they hoped to perfect through occupation and acquiescence in the course of years, is now permanently clouded. Mere prescription will not legalize it. So that the status of Manchuria remains an open question. So that whenever it becomes convenient for China, with the support of the United States and Britain, to reassert her claims in Manchiiria, she will retain the better right as against the disiossessors. Thanks to Secretary Knox, time will not perfect Russia's possession of Harbin or Japan's occupation of Mulden. Russia and Japan will continue as squatters in Manchuria. Thus Mr. Knox has stuck a wedge in the aperture which prevents the key from being turned in a closed door "t least. Neither Great Britain nor France was in position to protest, Inasmuch as the one i3 Japan's ally, and tha other Russia's all While Germany, who wishes to ingratiate herself with Japan, had no disposition to Interpose. Secretary Knox has exercised clever diplomacy in the midst of difficulties. If he has not compelled the thieves to drop their swag? he has thera identified for future reference and has marked the goods. Moreover, and what may prove the best result, he has cot?imended the United States to China. In Uie.TbniM of Prophecy. Champ Clark, he of the Chautauqua circuit and of Congress, has been telling the Interviewers some of the thing3 which are to be politically. The Democrats, he says, are to sweep the country in the fall elections. Every Republican oface-holder in Missouri is to be Informed that his services are no longer required. And as fate is to deal the cards in Missouri, so will the voters in other states cast out the unrighteous and elevate members of the "opposition" to power. Mr. Champ Clark Is one of the most entertaining forecasters in America. As a Democrat, he Is never cast down. There h no hole in the doughnut for him. lie sees the promise of fair weather In every political sunset and no Republican landslide has ever made him fearful lest the party under the avalanche cannot be dug out. Like Patience upon a monument, he just keeps smiling. Clark is not the only politician who has fastened hLs hopes of preferment upon the dissensions in the Republican party. There are legions of them, and they are burnishing up their shields and sharpening their swords against the combat of next autumn. There are a few fact3 forgotten, or ignored, by these gentlemen. One Is that factional fights among Republicans are not, as a rule, permitted to go so far as election day. Another is that long before the test of primaries and conventions comes the CannonIt es will be declaring themselves progressive. They will have seen the great, light. It will bo a struggle between progressive Republicans and progressive Democrats, not the futile one between Cannon followers, progressives and Democrats.

BUSINESS IDEAS IN GOVERNMENT

In his address at Newark Mr. Taft made a strong plea for the adoption ol business methods in the r.nar.eial nil'airs of the government. He wants to cut down the :qv:idi teres to the level of the receipts, or below them. ReepgnL'Ing that the treasury deficits are a detriment to the government and an embarrassment to the Republican party, he aims to abolish them and to bring back the surpluses cf tip old days of his party's dominance. Senator Aldrich has jn.-t said our present methods of conducting the government's affairs involve a waste of at least $10o.!o..o.)o a year, and added that if the job were in his bands he could rim it for $300.000,00') a year loss than the present cost. With the purpose of abolishing this reedless drain the S-.nr.tor proposes a commission of ten members, fivo from each branch of Congress, to study fiscal systems in vogue abroad, to inquire into the workings of cur governmental departments and bureaus, and to see how far Europe's scheme of economies could be applied to our own government finances. As Mr. Aldrich is the head of the Senate's Finance Committee, and as he is largely endowed with business sense, his words carry weight. Without mentioning the Rhod Uland Senator, Mr. Taft advocates the commission idea. As he has been urging economy from th? beginning of his term, and as he has been the meaii3 cf putting some of his counsel into concrete shape, his words will attract attention. Probably the Senator's assertion that, if lie had a free hand, he could run the government for $300.000.000 less than the present cost, is intended to be a piece of facetious extravagance. His averment, however, that 'here is a waste of $100,000,000 a year is very likely to be within the mark. The President evidently believes that it is. In "accordance with his ideas the department heads have cut their estimates $00,000.000 below those of a year ago, and $30,000,0Ü0 below the appropriations which were made in that year. It is not at all certain that the economy program will be carried out by Congress to any such extent as the President and Senator Aldrich desire. Several of the appropriation bills, as passed by the House, are below those enacted a year ago. Other appropriation bills, however, will make increases which would wipe out much of this saving. As Mr. Aldrich will have charge of those measures when they come to his chamber, he will have an opportunity to put his couLsel into practice. Usually heretofore the Senate has added something to many of the money bills, and thus has prevented economies which the House ha3 attempted. Possibly Mr. Aldrich will reverse that custom this yer.r. While he has said that he would not accept tbe task of running the financial end of the government even if it were offered to him, his countrymen would be glad to see hint cut off that $100.000,000 annual waste which he speaks of. A reduction or even $00.000.000 would be gratefully received by the people, especially by the Republican party. The Secretaiy of the Treasury says that the deficit for the year ending June 20, 1010, will be only $31.000,000. This estimate is based on the new system of bookke?ping, and leaves out the expenditures for the Panama canal, which are to be met by bond issues. The $31,000.000, therefore, represents the amount which the ordinary revenue of the government is expected to fall short cf the ordinary expenditure. The country Is glad to hear this. Under the budget plau of running the financial affairs of the government which is in operation in Great Britain and most of the other countries, the same body has supervision over Income and outgo, and can reduce the outgo to the dimensions of the income. In our system these functions are separated, the Ways and Means Committee In the IIoui.e and the Finance Committee in the Senate keeping track of the revenue, while the appropriation committees of each chamber, without any consultation or association with the other bodies, have charge over expenditures. Under this absence of correlation broad divergencies between receipts and expenses are inevitable. In this vital detail of governmental management the United States has something to learn from England, Germany, France and other Old World countries. Probably more money is wasted in running our government annually than is lost in this way by half a dozen of the big European nations combined. The economy program meets an urgent need. ''As Taft, Aldrich, Cannon, Tawney and the rest of the Republican leaders favor a swing toward economy in governmental management, the change in methods ought to be easy to accomplish. The advent of monthly surpluses In the year which begins on July 1 would be a large asset for the Republican party in the Congressional campaign. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Why Notf The President is .-aid to be heartily sick of the continued patter and jargon in Congress about insurgents and regulars, standpatters and revisionists, lie sees no reason why the Republicans in both Houses should not get down to work. Why isn't the President right? There have been tarifT bills passed before that were not satisfactory to everybody. Indeed, there never was one passed that was satisfactory to everybody. But shall the passage of an unpopular tariff bill stop the wheels of government? Shall there be no progress in any direction, because we have failed to satisfy ourselves on the tariff? Again, there hae been Investigations as important as the BallingcrPinchot Investigation held in this country. But wa the Federal establishment paralyzed by the fact? Shall Congress confess itself Incapable of legislating on postal banks or interstate commerce or anything else, until it learns whether Mr. Rallinger was a good or a poor conservationist? The President does not seek to dictate to anyone, but. he want3 the ptopiibllvan majority to take the Republican National Platform, and be-in putting it into law. Why not? Hx hange. The U:cc.

. CHAPTER VI. (Continued.) , "That's what I'm trying to do." replied Johnny. "I'm attempting to find DUt how that man got in. Here It is. pee?" His finger had touched the spring, for the baseboard, which was at least two feet high, suddenly split and jwung discordantly back, revealing a square hole and a clumsily constructed panel opening directly Into the house next door! This building was lower than the Desterle home, for while the hole In the baseboard ran from the floor in the Desterle house, It was inerely eighteen Inches or less below the celling of the room Into which the sxclted group was gazing. Well furnished, lined with books, and illuminated by a green shaded reading lamp on a low table, the room apparently served ns a library. Portraits of highchokered. uncomfortable - looking statesmen filled the niches between the book cases, and on the floor beneath the trap door rested a bronze plaque, Very significantly the size of the trapdoor. "What do you know about that?" asked Johnny, narrating the appearance and disappearance of the stranger. Because he was the smallest of them all. Johnny was delegated to creep through tlie hole and investigate the adjoining house. The others divided Into relays and began another branch of the disquisition. "Say, Farley, go telephone my paper about this, will you?" begged Johnny in a whisper. "They're long on extras up there, you know, and they might want to get one out on this. Honest, boys, I can't say I mu?h In for making this twelve-foot desperado dive for life before bt. but I guess" it's so long. Put the panel back; 1 think you'd better," and he swung down through the trapdoor. Meanwhile the first relay went outside to reconnoiter. The block was a crowded one with the houses standing shoulder to shoulder, as closely as marons might put them. Midway in the block the name of the street changed from Ram'.kln terrace to Briarsweet, place. The Desterle house was S5 Ramlkin terrace, and the house into which Johnny had disappeared was 94 P.riarsweet place. Twenty years previous the street had been a fash ionable thoroughfare, but it had gradually become relegated to the second best, with respectable boarding houses of - the variety usually catalogued as "shabby genteel." Some of the old houses had been , remodeled Into fiats, and In only a few were the owners now residing. Of these the major part were those sentimental women who. long after their families are married and gene away, still cling to the old home that welcomed them In their days of bridal joys and happy youth, or of the conservative set now pushed out of the lead of the procession of fashionable society by tho influx of the newer and faster ideas of life and living. Such a family had long tenanted 94 Criarsweet plaee. The owner, Mark S. Flanders, was one of the few oldstyle lawyers who are fortunate to have husbanded their acquired competence before the lean years of age and Oslerlzatlon have descended upon them. One of the first settlers in the town, the Flanders residence had at one time been the admiration and tho eyewidener of the country over, but of late, and especially sine the death of Flanders wife, both the old mansion and the old lawyer had been reckoned among the hopeless by the ultra-smart eet. Flanders had always borne a reputation for the highest Integrity and grcateFt personal honor. lie had even managed to keep his record while serving his city two terms as Mayor. That the bricks and stone of the supposedly well-bred Flanders mansion should have opened up surreptitious entrances to the plebeian boarding house next door seemed incredible, especially in connection with a murder. Liberal usages of telephones and 'directories elicited the infbrmatlon that Flanders had sailed qwiotly and unheralded for' Europe a week previously. Gorin got Dunwiddy, Flanders' partner, on the wire and asked him about it. Dunwiddy was out of sorts at the call. Tho clock showed 4: CO a. m. and Dunwiddy was in the most delectable division of his early morning snooze. "Yes, 3'cs," he shouted over the telephone, "this is Thomas Dunwiddy, Flanders' partner. Who are you and what do you want At this disgraceful hour of the morning? An Associated Press man? Well, you've got Impudence to got a man up at this hour of the morning! Flanders may be implicated In the Wayne murder? Nonsense! Where Is Flanders? Minding his own business, where you ought to be. I don't know anything about him. lie sailed for Europe the 15th and I hope he's there by now. A panel cut through between the closet and ills house? Dear me. that i unfortunate. Come to recall it now, Mr. Flanders let his house for the season just before ho left. I did not see the tenant, but have the leases on file. I think the man's name is Hamley Ilackleye, and I don't know anything about him except that he Is an Englishman who has lived in the tropics. Now. my dear sir, I beg of you to keep the Flanders name out of any affiliation with this unfortunate affair, If you possibly can. You understand me, of course. Yes, I suppose you may see the leases, but you must be careful what moves you make. International complications, you know, and all that. Good-by." Gorin whistled as he hung up the receiver, and repeated ever and ovagain the name "Hamley Ilackleye." "Humph," he said, and dropped another nickel in the telephone slot, ns he gave tho call, to direct his office to cable London and find out if they could discover anything about Mr. Ilackleye. A very careful external examination of the premises nt 04 Briarsweet Place was made. There was a small back yard, grass laid, and neat and dignlUfied. with a few ttdius a-bloom along the path that led to the primly latticed back gate. The shades all over th bouse were closely drawn end there no indication of Johnny nor :t: ' other sign of life any place at it. A quart of milk and a s :ie of cream had been b ft on ..ek steps, and a morning paper bio. by the wind rotated between the porcli and the back walk. "Uxtry, Uxtry," shrieked a newsboy on the sidewalk. There was tbn serai' of opening windows alon the street from adjacent hom-cs and in my a toalod head and nigbtrobed figure cautiously shielding its deficiencies of eoJtumes by deftly balanced window ehades and draperies bid In the smelly heets as the gamin added his thvillIng climax. "All about the escape of the dreadful monster,, the man-aperilla, from its nge In the park."

Laneey F. WEST

e Tiiifitrip-yr1 Gorin leaped the fence and made for the lad. The extra was principally a matter of headlines glaring and inksmutted, chronicling the escape of the unknown beast, appended to the news stories that had gone through the earlier editions. "Whew!" whistled Gorin, "this looks pretty bad! Nice men. I must say." CHAPTER VII. Frankel and Sothern went down the Lall from Betty Lancey's room after the clerk and his companion, who was so excitedly seeking the papers that had blown out of the window and a couple of bell boys. "We'll go right down through the bar, it's the quickest." they overheard the clerk say ap the couple passed to await the elcvatjr. The two newspaper men ran down to tho next floor, caught the car at the second landing and rode to the first l!oor with the clerk and his plainly excited companion. The bar was closed and while one clerk procured the keys for entrance Frankel covertly watched the man, and Sothern nonchalantly strolled over to the clerk behind the desk. '"Who is that man?" he queried. "I don't mean the little Jew. but the dark, handsome fellow there? lie has such a beautiful wife, looks like a woman I knew in Paris once." "So?" asked the clerk. "They have been here at frequent Intervals this last year or two. Don't know much about them, except that his name 13 Harcourt Harold Harcourt and they always register from India. , They've got cash to burn." "What's the matter with him now?" questioned Sothern. The clerk laughed. "Oh, I don't know," he answered. "He came bustling down here awhile ago shouting about some .documents that had blown out of his window and lit on the fire escape opposite. He wanted somebody to go up and help him get out on the fire escape. Tore around as If he was afire." "He was crazy, too." supplemented one of the bell boys. "Old lady in E22 where he went to get out of the window wouldn't unlock the door to let us at the fire escape. Don't blame her, but her hubby made her come to the scratch tnd let us in, and she was the tlckledest when the papers were gone. They's going down ia tho court now, to hunt them up." Frankel by now had Joined the clerk at the door of the bar and was enjoying that functionary's attempts to make the key yield In the lock. "What's on?" he asked, carelessly, "a riot, or a raid?" "Nothing at all, sir, private business, private business only," Interrupted Harcourt, with the air of giving Frankel his conge. Frankel, however, refused to accept such a gratuity and followed the two men. and the several bell boys, one with a pocket light and the others with various boxes of matches through the darkened barroom. The glasses and , mirrors and decanters gleamed dully in the half-light nnd the tiled floors were slippery with recent scrubbing. The door that opened upon the court was heavily chained, barred and bolted, but it swung wide at last and Harcourt clutching the pocket light from the grasp of Its bearer flared It into every corner and crevice of the clean cemented rectangle. "Nothing here, sir, nothing here," commented the clerk. "What was the nature of the papers, if you please?" Harcourt's face was livid. He rumpled his thick hair nervously with his long white fingers, oblivious of all hl3 surroundings. At the third repetition of the interrogation he roused from hl3 stupor and remarked: "A picture of my wife, a very valuable hand-made print, one I prize for its associations as much as for its intrinsic worth, and some extremely important passports. ' I would not have lost them for half a million dollars." The bell boys poked around in a desultory fashion into Imaginary crevices that did not exist. The clerk led the way back to the offlce and Harcourt absently met the claims of the buttons upon bis pockets. "Excuse me, Mr. Harcourt," said a boy at his elbow, "but I guess you'd better hurry back upstairs to your wife. She just sent a call down that a strange young woman had run In there and said she was sick, and that we'd better send someone up to take care of her." j Harcourt thanked the boy and made for the elevator with all speed. Sothern und Frankel instinctively flashed to each other with their eyes the one word: "Betty!" "Think I'll go up and see if Botty needs any help," suggested Sothern; "you'd better stay down here, Frankel, and see what you can skirmish up." Sothern made his way back to the "E" floor cautiously. He went to Betry's room and knocked on the door. It .: ,v; quietly ajar and ho was greeted with a chorus of: "What'd you get. TJetty?" "Tisn't Betty," grinned Sothern; "isn't she here?" "No, haven't seen anything of her since you left but her shoes, that she's kicked off there." said Hank Smith. "She must have found a vein," added Larry Morris. "Most likely a vein found her," added Sothern, narrating tho experiences of below stairs. "Let's walk around that way and see." At the bend In the corridor Larry's fet entangled themselves in something He stooped and picked It up, gingerly spread it out to the light, vas a woman's shirtwaist of white .i r.cn with a little blue stripe, and the monogram "B. L." heavily embroidered on the sleeve. "Betty Lancey's waist," cried Sothern. "Where is Betty?" "I'm going to find out." retorted Larry. Together they all strode in to liarcourt's doer. It was open and from within sounded the angered tones of a woman's decidedly nasal voice. "Are you pure you wasn't dreaming?" c.i me Um words, "what could have bei a.-' of the girl? If she was here, - did she get away ro quick? Espeif she was sick!" e wasn't sick," replied Harcourt. must have been a thief, ,trylng t.i . : ose herself on my wife's confidence. YV!I, ;is she's gone now, my good C'.oüian, you can go, too.'. Therc'3 noth-ii::,-here for yen to do." "Xo," burst in Larry, who?'; worry -vcr Betty was now at fever heat, "bat there's .something here for you to do. That virl is a friend of mine, and if there's any harm come to her, you'll puffer for it. Here Is her shirtwaist it's been torn oif her body do you see that and where's she? Look at that ;.:od! She started out haif - n hour a-o to come over here and speak to r wife, and she hasn't been Been

since, but we find this garment of hers, blood-stained and kicked into the corner at tbe foot of the corridor. What have you done with its wearer?" Mrs. Harcourt, still in the silker ncgllgre and the diamonds, flung bet hands wearily behind her head, bent like an overweighted reed, and passed beyond into her dressing room. "This Is an outrage, an outrage," stormed Harcourt. "At this hour of the morning to interrupt a guest of the house in this wanton fashion! You'll pay for these insults!" 'Terhaps," said Larry Morris, "and in the meanwhile if you or your wife attempt to leave this hotel till we have found Betty Lancey, you'll find yourself face to face with a warrant that will land you In jail, charging j'ou with either her murder or her abduction. Do you understand me, Mr. Harcourt?" "Oh, say, Larry," hinted Hank Smith, "don't you think you're going too far? A man has his rights, you know." "Indeed I know," said Larry, "and that's why I'm going to find Betty. This matter doesn't look straight to me. Where's Frankel gone, anyway?" "Don't know. Nothing more doing to-night for me." announced Hartley. "I'm going home and to bed, boys. Good-by." "Here, too," chimed In a chorus. But Larry Morris was silent He left the boys at the corner, then sought out and dug from their slumbers an official or two whom he knew well, and swore out a warrant against the Harcourts, charging them with abduction of Betty Lancey with Intent to kill! "Don't care If I go down the road for it," ho told himself. "You can't tell me something hasn't happened to Betty.

THE ESKIMO'S riPE. Small Iluwli trlth Stems of Walrus Tunk HnndsoniFly Carved. The pipes used by the Eskimos are quite different from those Of any other North American race, and In the shape of the bowl more resemble the opium pipes used by the Chinese than anything else. The old pipes -were very small in the amount of tobacco that they would hold, for in former days tobacco was extremely scarce and in its use was most carefully husbanded. There was therefore a wide flaring margin to the pipe to catch any grains of tobacco that might be spilled In filling it, then there was a hollow which would hold a pinch of tobacco half as large as an ordinary pea and a rather wide hole passing down through the base of the bowl which fitted into the pipe stem. The bowl of the pipe was of ivory, stone, bras3 or copper. The pipe stem was curved and had a mouthpiece. It is said that the small hole running down through the base of the bowl and into the pipe stem was usually plugged with caribou hair to save any grains of tobacco that might otherwise have passed down through this aperture and so be lost. The smoking of such a pipe would not last long, and we may presume that a very few draws would exhaust it, Tho smoke was of course taken Into tho lungs. The Eskimos are known to be extremely skillful in the representation of scenes and objects, while the Indians of Queen Charlotte'3 sound and generally all tho natives of the northwest coast of America are famous fr their carving in wood and in a black slate. Handsomely carved Eskimo pipes of walrus Ivory from northwestern Alaska have on each side of the pipe, that i3 to say on four more or less long flat surfaces, scenes from the dally life of the Eskimo. Of these the two sides on the right hand of the pipe, as it is held in position for smoking, appear to represent the period of cold weather, later autumn, winter and early spring, while thoso on tho left hand side of the pipe represent the summer life of the Eskimo.

Doctors Veraas Lawyer. Most lawyers take a keen delight trying to confuse medical experts in the witness box f.n murder trials, and often they get paid back in their own coin. A case is recalled where the lawyer, after exercising all his tangling tactics without effect, looked quizzically at the doctor who was testifying and said: "You must adn.it that doctors sometimes make mistakes, won't you?" "Oh, yes, the same as lawyers," was he cool reply. "And doctors' mistakes are burled six feet under ground," was the lawyer's triumphant reply. "Yes," he replied, "and the lawyers' mistakes often swing in the air." Philadelphia Ledger. Wax He Truck harden f "How on earth did you ever cultivate such beautiful black eye?" asked Brown's friend.

The stranger sprinkled an unconscionable quantity of red pepper upon his food and proceeded to devour It, to the wonder and admiration ot onlookers.

Then the stranger added more red pepper, then the American another larser dice, covered with cayenne, and so on, iill It seemed as if both would explode, while the other diners looked on aghast, the American finally winning out with a prodigious dose defy Ing all emulation.
