SMALL LESSON IN ETIQUETTE
Probably Mickey Shea Stretched the
Truth, but the Lesson Must
Have Been Driven Home.
Before Mickey Shea got into Tam-
many politics in New York he was a
newsboy in Toledo. Then he became
a page in the United States senate.
msR——
Then he came to New York and be- |
gan to get rich. That sort of an edu- |
pation quickens one's wits and sharp-
ens any native ability one may own
for a sort of physical repartee.
“Mickey landed in Atlantic City
one hot night last summer,” said a
friend. “The only room he could find
in the resort was a double-bedded one
~—and another man had already con-
tracted for the other bed. In the
morning Mr. Shea rolled over with a
sleepy grunt, wakened slowly, and
then peered in horrer into the mirror.
He beheld his roommate sharpening
a set of vellow teeth with Mr, Shea's
own toothbrush.
“ ‘Fine morning, shipmate,’ said the
offender, when Mr, Shea finally
climbed out of bed.
““True for you,’ said Mr. Shea
heartily. He proceeded slowly with
his toilet. By and by he began to
look around the room,
“‘See anything of a toothbrush
around here?’ he asked.
“ ‘Why, ves,’ said the other.
is one on the mantel.’
“0, said Shea.

‘NO LEGAL VERBIAGE THERE | HELPING HER PICK OUT HAT
Mary Newhard of Allentown, Pa, Only the Gay and Graceless Bachelor
Wrote Will in Her Own Homely
Way, and It Stands.
|
BE. W. German, register of wills of
Lehigh county, admitted to probate |
the most remarkable will offered here |
in a century. It was written by Mary
| Newhard of Laurays, who left several
hundred dollars in personal property.
It reads:
“I guess it is about time I want my
things fixed after I am gone, because I
have nobody to depend on except my
sisters. I hope they see to things and
fo it in the way I want it done. It is
br great task, but it cannot be fixed
| otherwise. They always helped me
‘along. I want them to divide my
| tlothes among them, because I have no
| shidlren, so they are nearest. I have
3 good lot of things that have to be
told for expenses and then I guess it
| will reach to bury me decently.
| “Such things as my big copper ket-
| le and tubs, washing machine, sew-
| ng machine, watch, bedroom suit,
jureau, chest, trunk, waiters (two nice
neg), casters and other articles are to
, je sold. There is also a stovepipe in
| he garret belonging to the parlor
| itove, a dozen sauce dishes I believe
| hey don't need and a white gravy
owl I paid a quarter for, and two big
| jlass stands, which are to be sold.
| “His bedstead, which lays in the
| rarret, I paid a dollar to get it stained
| ind varnished. He can keep that for
| Mary if he wants to keep her, and my
| row dough trough I also want sold. I
| swe a little at Labach’'s and I want
| that paid if there is any money left.
| can't do it in my lifetime any more.

“Dearie, I want you to go with me
one day this week and help me select
a hat.”
This is not a request. It is a com-
mand ‘hat no married man dares dis-
obey. #lubby is right now bracing
himself for the shock that comes at
least twice in every year. A few of
the poor, unfortunate husbands have
already received their orders, and the
rest are looking for the worst any day
now,
This thing of helping your wife buy
a hat is tragedy. While it may seem
funny to a bachelor, this expedition
into the jungles of ostrich feathers
and mountains of bandboxes is not
a married man's idea of a good time.
He submits to the awful torture
twice 2 year, just before Easter and
again in September. No, he doesn't
like it; he does it to keep peace in the
family. It helps to keep the police
away from the door. He would wel
come the electric chair, a whole day's
session with the dentist or a double
dose of grand opera if he had his
choice. Not that his wife cares a rap
about his opinion. No matter what hat
she picks out, she knows beforehand |
she is not going to like it, and she
takes him along to shoulder the blame.
In the spring, when the young man’s
fancy is turning lightly to thoughts of
love, the married man's frenzy—he
hasn't any fancy—is turning seriously
to thoughts of the Easter millinery
hunt. «It takes him six months to get
over the experience, and just as he

If you are thinking of buy-

you would do well to look
this shipment over because
he guarantees them and will
sell them all at a figure that
marks them as bargains.

called “Consequences?” 1 used
play it in school on the sly, and so
did other little boys and girls, and
boys and girls that weren't so little
either. All about how Mr. So-and-So
met Miss So-and-So at Mrs. So-and
So's. And how he said and she said
and the world said, and the conse-
quences were that —, well, God
knows what they were, the conse
quences. Happening to pick up a book
of games at the library one afternoon,
I turned by accident to “Conse-
quences.” A thousand memories
came flocking in upon me. And 2a
thought born not of memory but cf
experience. While life, like the game,
is largely a matter of a man and
woman meeting, meeting casually at
Mrs. So-and-So's, with a long train of
consequences, in real life not like the
game, what the world says comes at
last to be omitted from our calcula-
tion. Not through indifference to it—
the love and approval of those about
us is the very breath of life—but be-
cause we have to stand alone before
we can stand together. The strong
ones of the earth are ever those who
do and say the thing they must and
leave the rest with God.—New York

Egg Membrane for Skin.
For a long time doctors have been
looking for a good substitute for hu-
man skin for grafting. The possibil-
ity has lately been demonstrated by
taking the membrane that lines the
shell of newly laid eggs, plastering it
over the burn, and making it grow as
human skin. The discoverer of this
process was treating a child which had
previously been burned, and in break-
ing a raw egg which he desired the
child to swallow dropped part of the
membrane by accident upon the burn
and bandaged the wound. Later on
it was discovered that the accidentai |-
placing of the egg membrane over the
burn had caused cells to augment in
number and gradually to extend over
the wound until, at the end of some
weeks, the surface
covered with the new skin. The treat.
ment was called to the attention’ of
physicians and it is now being used
to cure scalds.—Harper's Weekly.

Waterproof Seven-League Boots.
Here is the great and only way
Jack greased his seven league boots
and waterproofed and snowproofed
them. Melt in an earthen crock, over
a very slow, gentle fire, half a pint
of linseed oil (good, raw oil), one
ounce of heeswax, or paraffin, half an
ounce of rosin and one ounce of oil
of turpentine. If new boots or shoes
are soaked and well rubbed with this
warm, greasy mixture, then left to
hang in a warm place for a week or
ten days, not only will they be en-
tirely waterproof, but the leather will
be soft and pliable. The soles may
be waterproofed by painting on a coat
of gum copal varnish, repeating it
from time to time until it is a smooth
job and all the pores of the leather
are filled.

Good Fellowship.
Good fellowship is as old as man.
It is one of the elemental things—
rooted in man with good and evil,
love and hate. Its temples are wher-
ever good men get together; its
shrines and sanctuaries the hearts of
men. More than the impetuous com-
radeship of youth, it is the settled
faith of men in men. Passing all
boundaries of nation, creed or calling,
it asks only the open heart, the hon-
est purpose, the cheerful countenance.
Its password is the kindling eye, its
pledge the hearty hand—its finest
messages are unspoken. It is the
golden age made manifest. Rites, re-
ligions, men and measures pass—
good fellowship remains; for it is
eternal love of life, eternal faith, eter-
‘nal charity and cheer.—~James Ed-
ward Kehler.
