A corporal having given an order,
one of the men seemed disinclined to
obey, when, after having rebuked him
|
sharply, he shouted in angry tomes:
“It's a good job for you, me lad, that

shove you in the ‘clink’ (guard-room)

Truth In Old Adage.
In children the training of the
senses, so necessary, is for the most
part unconscious and self-attained,
as in games, yet the science of psy-
chology has invented tests to aid such
training of the senses. There seems
to be a lot of truth in the old saying:
“Do not believe all you see, nor half
you hear.”

Sisters in Triple Wedding.
A triple wedding ceremony took
place recently in Restalslg Parish
church, near Edinburgh, Scotland.
The three brides were sisters, and
they were all dressed alike in white
silk crepon, with picture hats. They
were given away by the father of one
of the bridegrooms.

Great men are the fire-pillars in this

Titman. WINNING OF A MA
What Happened When a Rea!
Man Entered Upon Winona’s
Horizon.
By HARMONY WELLER.
Winona sighed deeply. She felt that
her reasons for sighing were many
and good.
In the first place Winona firmly be-
lieved that the numerous suitors for
her hand were merely after her money. |
She had not stopped to realize that
eyes were gloriously blue and her
a shining mass of copper, nor did
know that her character was lov-

her from manifesting her talent. Wi
nona had taken a course in interior
decorating and in her heart she felt
that she would reach supreme heights
of happiness if she were allowed to
dab paints on the walls of adorable
little bungalows.
she sighed deepest—over the fact that
a real man, the kind that would take
her heart and life by storm, had failed
to appear on her horizon.
“Perhaps 1 am just naturally hard
to please,” she reasoned, “but 1 simply
cannot love a man who idles about in
a steam yacht or touring car all day
and who haunts the cabaret restau-
rants by night.”
A tear squeezed itself from beneath
Winona's lashes; then a second and
third. After that her head went for-
ward and she wept out her unhappi-
ness on the Irish lace that covered
her sofa pillows.
Her father coming in found her
curled up like a kitten and with tears
streaming down her lovely cheeks.
“Winny!” he cried, and took her
into his arms.
“lI am just terribly unhappy,” she
smiled at him through her tears, “I
want a long brown painting apron and
brushes and paints—and—and some-
thing to paint!”
“Bless my soul, child—you can have
an entire shop if you want it. As for
something to paint, I can give you a
contract that will tax even your clever
schemes for decorating.”
Winona smiled imto her father’s
eyes.
“Tell me quickly!” she demanded.
“1 will be so happy you won't know
me—if I can just be a working person
for once.”
“l have seen an architect today
about putting up a dozen bungalows
on the West Park road. ! want them
to be little gems along the drive and
the young chap I have chosen has
ideas that I like. Now you and he
can get together—that is if you can
without actually coming to blows,” he
ended with a laugh. “lI am not sure
that I would let him know that you
are my daughter,” he added; “he
might be inclined to give way to you—
though Davenport doesn't seem like
the man who would give in much to
anybody.”
Winona pouted, then hugged her
father. Her cheeks were free of tears
and her eyes sparkling.
“I love the idea! I shall go straight
away and get a plain frock such as a
working artist would have. You are a
dear!” she cried excitedly and hugged
him again.
When Winona met John Davenport
she was not sure that they would
avoid the blows that her father had
laughingly suggested. The young
architect had looked at her in a more
or less supercilious manner when he
had learned that he, in a way, was to
work with her.
“He is evidently one of those unil-
lumined men who think that anything
feminine belongs seated at the side of
a sewing basket. I will show him!"
she decided and Davenport fell to
wondering why the girl's blue eyes
had narrowed in so peculiar a manner.
That was but the first of his won-
dering. From the moment he and
Winona began to talk actual business.
he was kept in a state of continual
“She is a clever artist,” he told him-
self often when some particular bit of
designing was discussed. “And after
all—the feminine mind should know
more about a home than the mascu-

the feminine voice went on. “The dec

turned suddenly and sprang into the
next room. A crash had sent the red
blood out of his cheeks.
“Winona!” he cried and picked the
girl up. She had toppled from her
ladder and lay white and still in his
arms. Fortunately she had fainted
before falling and the limpness of her
body had prevented serious injury.
“Ob-h,” she sighed, and opened her
eyes wonderingly.
i Davenport's arms tightened about
her and Winona felt him tremble.

questioned tenderly. He glanced
quickly up at the other woman who
stood beside him. “Mother,” he said,

' have told you so much about her.”
Winona drew a long breath and her
heart took up the beat where it had

kad been speaking to his future wife.

up at Davenport with rather fright

| MOST FICKLE OF ALL GEMS
| Opals Readily Affected By Changes of
Temperature, and This Has Brought
Them Ili Favor.
ple to regard opals with awe as the
cause of ill luck, and even death, is
| erably in use in Venice during the
plague and it was noticed there in the
hospitals that before death the stone
would sometimes brighten upon the
victim's finger. It never seemed to
occur to the people that the illness
could produce a glow of color. They
casioned the illness.
As a matter of fact, opals are af
fected by heat, even by that of the
hand, and the fever, being at its
height just before death, caused the
ness.
This confirmed the superstition, and
to this day there are sane and able
bodied people who believe that a chip
of this stone in the house can cause
calamities.
Probably another reason for the dis-
trust excited in opals is the fact that
they change and lose their color. That
is due to the softness and porousness
of the material, and its capacity both
for absorbing water and of parting
with what it has, one of which tends
to make it dull and the other chalky
and opaque. They have been known
to be carefully cut and laid away,
and upon opening the paper had
crumbled into dust within a few
weeks.
A species of opal known as the
hydrophane, found in small quantities
lately In Colorado, has wonderful
powers of absorption. In its usual
state it is of a yellowish, waxy tint,
but when water is dropped upon it
the tint passes slowly away, and from
being translucent it becomes trans
parent. On exposure to the air the
water evaporates in an hour, leaving
the stone as it was before.
