We’ve arranged that we shall both be absolutely independent of each other. “But I don’t want you to be independent of me,” she said, softly. I had grasped that. “And—and I don’t want to be independent of you,” she whispered. Words were inadequate—but my reply was adequate. “A woman,” she explained later, ‘only wants athing when she hasn’t got it. When she’s got it she doesn’t want it.” I suppose my expression showed that I had jumped to an obvious conclusion. “Silly,” she said, disarranging my tie; “a woman always wants her husband.” “Love, then,” said I, ‘‘is the only real woman’s right.” “Yes,” she said, ‘and when she’s got that she doesn’t. want any others.”—Pittsburg Gazette- Times. A ECDOTES concerning gratitude in ani- mals are familiar to us, but the following from the Evening Standard is novel: “A magpie belonging toa lady in Somersetshire has been ir the habit of receiving dainty mouth- fuls from the mouth of his mistress, perching on her shoulder, and then inserting his beak between her lips. The other day he took up his customary perch, but instead of seeking a titbit from his mistress, the grateful bird dropped a plump cater- pillar into her mouth.” GREAT BEAR SPRING WATER, wits purity has made {t famous.” FRENCHMAN has invented a diving suit for motorists for use when the machine falls off bridges into the water. Another useful suit can be inflated so that when a collision is inevi- table the chauffeur, with great presence of mind, blows himself out, shoots skyward and lights in a tree.—London Tribune. (0) = of the stock questions of the newspaper men who visit the State Department every day relates to the status of Ambassador Leish- man at Constantinople. Since his elevation to ambassadorial rank he has failed to secure an audience with the Sultan, who, as is well known, isin feeble health. To the usual question, “Has Mr. Leishman been received?” the stereotyped teply, “Not yet,” is given. n this formula had been gone through with the other day Assistant Secretary Adee waxed humorous, and said the situation at Constanti- nople was like that of a man with a rent in his trousers. The man went into a tailor shop which Gisplayed a sign, “Trousers mended while you wait.” He retired to the inner room and gave his trousers to the tailor to fix up. After waiting about two hours he cated to the tailor, “Haven't you fixed those trousess yet?” Not yet,” replied the tailor. “Why, what's the matter?” he asked, some- what impatiently. “Your sign says, ‘ Trousers mended while you wait?” “Ob, that’s all right,” answered back the tailor, without the slightest trace of a smile, You're waiting yet, ain’t you?” Ambassador Leishman, said Mr. Adee, is still Waiting —lWashington Star.

This is the Graygood Hy- draulic Double-acting Shock Absorber. ‘This appli- ance is constructed upon the hydraulic principle of the “plunger” elevator, which is also the principle of the hydraulic door-check, save that the door- check is single-acting, while the shock absorber is double-acting. The fact that this principle has been so success- fully employed in elevators and door-checks for some years would indicate that a shock absorber built along the same theory must be eminently practical and satisfactory. The makers, Graham & Good- man, 55 West Ninety-third Street, send upon request a bookict explaining the principle, practice and con- struction of the hydraulic shock absorber, which ought to interest every automobilist. | JENNER & COMPANY | Undivided Estates Exclusively 55 BROADWAY, NEW YORK Telephone 4030-4051 Revtor =~ UNDIVIDED ESTATES WWE deal ta all kinds of undivided estate interests, incleding vested of contingent remaloder Interests, subject to life estate oF payable at sume future, fixed period arrange advances upoa the security of such faterests upon || moderate terins and at legal Interest || Our facilities for handling such proposals are adequate for + Cable Address + Sentoan”™ We purchase or | any requirement. ‘Speed and im- proper oil can never be reconciled, The only scientifically perfect oil— prepared to meet the require- ments of every engine and every system of lubrication is VACUUM MOBILOIL There’sa le of Mobil- oil especially adapted to your automobile.
