There used to be a popular minister In liHllaiiiipulls who was well known In Louisville, lie was pastor of one of tut? leading churches of the city, lie was built on the plan of the late Henry George, whose motto was, "1 am for uieu." This Indianapolis preacher was what Is called u "good mixer." One tiny he stopped In a blacksmith shop to chat wltb the workmen. Dur ing the visit a florid faced mat) of prosperous appearance came luto the shop. He and the minister began chatting, but neither knew the other's line of business. They became good friends In a few minutes, l'lunlly the florid faced man produced his card, which nnnounccd that be was in tin saloon business ou West street "Come down to my place auy time," he said, "and I'll show you a good time." "All riKUt." replied the minister, "and, by the way, I'm running a pretty good place myself. Come and see me, and I'll show you a good time." "I'll sure do that." said the other. "But. by the way. where Is your joint?" "My Joint," was the reply, "Is the First Presbyterian church. Just In quire for Myron W. Weed, the pastor, nnd I'll be nt your service." Louis ville Times.. The Military Salute. All snlutes, from taking off the hat to presenting nrms, originally implied respect or submission. Of military sn lutes, raising the right hand to the head la generally believed to have orig inated from the days of the tourun meut, when the knights tiled past the throue of the queen of beauty and by way of complimetit raised their bands to their brows to Imply that her beauty was too dazzling for unshaded eyes to gaze upon. The oftieer's salute with the sword has a double menultig. The first posi tion, with the hilt opposite the Hps, Is a repetition of tbo crusader's nctlou In kissing the cross hilt of his sword In token of faith nnd fealty, while lower ing the point afterward implies either submission or friendship, meaning in either case that It Is no longer neces sary to stand ou guard. Iluising the band to the forehead bns also been ex plained ns a sign that the wcaponed hand Is empty 'and lu an Inoffensive position, but tliis reason does not seem so convincing as the ot tiers. A Toothsome Revenge. During the reign of Charles II., the age of gallantry, it was the custom among gentlemen when they drank n lady's health iu order tbut they might do her still more honor to destroy nt the same time some part of their cloth ing.

Finally to bis friends he became a uulsuuce, and each to himself swore softly that he would bide his time and nt the prop er moment give him a little verbnl thrust. Finally one long suffering Individual wns nsked to go for a ride. Excuses were of no avail. He was bundled Into tbe machine nnd taken for a spin through the parks and over the boule vards. In due course of time, without any serious mishap, they pulled up at the Automobile club. The auto crank and his guest were soon surrounded by several of their friends. "How did you enjoy your ride?" was asked of the auto crunk's friend. "Until today I never thought- an automobile could go so fast." was his reply. (Here the nuto crank was all attention. That wns some praise for his car. Right out lu public too. That would silence some of the scoffers who said bis machine should be cnlled Snail.) "Why, do you know there was a cur went by us nt such a clip that I could hardly see it." The auto crank glared, and under bis gaze the group melted nwny. They had had tbelr revenge. Pittsburg Gazette Times. Juvenile Suicides. "A generation ngo the taking of their own lives by minors was almost an un heard of occurrence." said a physlclnn. "Now it is becoming alarmingly fre quent not only lu this country, but In Europe. In most cases the phenome non can be set down to the artificial life people lend nnd to tbe complex conditions of modern existence. Very often parents are too ambitious for their children and by constant appeals to them so work on the nervous tem peraments of their offspring as to bring on a derangement of the mental faculties.
