Why He Could Not Change E story is told of a Dutchman who certainly needed the services of the far-famed “Lady from Philadelphia” if ever any one required her as- sistance. He was assigned to a seat in the coach which obliged him to ride backward through the Black Forest. At the first stopping place he asked the postmaster to give him another seat, saying it made him ill to ride backward. “Ask the man opposite to change with you,” said the postmaster, gruffly. “But there is nobody opposite to me,” complained the Dutchman, “so I cannot ask him."—Youth's Companion, Prudence TALL man, impatiently pacing the platform of a wayside station, accosted a boy of about twelve. “S-s-say,”’ he said, “‘d-d-do y-you know h-h-how late this train is?” The boy grinned, but made no reply. The man stuttered out something about kids in general and passed into the station. A stranger asked the boy why he hadn't answered the big man. “D-d-d'ye wanter see me g-g-get me fa-fa-face punched? D-d-dat big g-guy’d t'ink I was mo-mo- mocking him.”"—Everybody’s. Division of Labor “CYNE time,” said Secretary Taft to some news- paper men not long ago, “three ministers wanted to cross the Mississippi River to attend a revival at a place which boasted of no regular ferry. Brother Syles and Brother Beamish were fine speci- mens of humanity—at least two hundred pounds apiece—but their companion was a mite of a man weighing scarcely one hundred and twenty-five. § | They got a boatman to take them over, but in mid- d | stream a severe thunder-shower came up and the waves threatened to capsize the boat. “Brother Syles,’ said Brother Beamish, ‘I think we had better join in prayer.” “Do you, though ?” shouted the boatman. ‘Wall, I say you don’t! You two big ones come here an’ lend a hand at the oars—an’ let the skinny fellow pray.’”"—Saturday Evening Post. Quite Right “VES,” said the suffragist on the platform, “women have been wronged for ages. They have suffered in a thousand/ways.”” “There is one way in which they never suffered,” said a meck-looking man, standing up in the rear of the hall. “What way is that?” demanded the suffragist. “They have never suffered in silence.” —Tit-Bits.

SST LIQUEUR Peres Chartreux —GREEN AND YELLOW— ‘This famous cordial, now made at Tarragona, Spain, was for centuries distilled by the ‘arthusian Monks (Péres Chartreux) at the $ o Monastery of La Grande Chartreuse, France, and known througbout the world as Char: treuse. The above cut represents the bottle and label employed in the putting up of the article since the Monks’ expulsion from France, and it is now known as Liqueur Peres Cl treux (the Monks, however, still retain the r to use the old botile and label as well, distil by the same order of Monks, who have securely ded the secret of ity manufacture {or hundreds of years, taking it with them at the time they left the Monastery of La Grande Chartreuse, and who, therefore, alone possess a knowledge of the elements of this delicious nectar. No Liqueur associated with the name of the Carthusian Monks (Péres Chartreux) and made since their expulsion from France is genuine except that made by them at Tarra- gona, Spain.
