morning a few weeks ago the timepiece
fell from the mantelpeice to the floor.
When picked np it was found to be
quite uninjured and still going as if
nothing unusual bad happened. Thete
Seemed to be absolutely no reason whv
it should h"*ve fallen, but an hour later
when the builder came home to his
midday meal, he remarked that at 11:15
he fell from the top of a building, bot
happily without sustaining any injury.
His wife then described how the clock
bad fallen at the same time, and the
couple ponder in vain over the curious
and utterly inexplicable coincident.

General Corbin's recommendation on
the marriage of subalterns in the regu
lar army goes a step farther than Secre
tary Root's advice on the same topic a
year or so ago. Secretary Root advised
subalterns not to marry unless they
were free from debt and able to sup
port a family in moderate comfort,
(ienerul Corbin now desires to proceed
to the German imperial extremity of
forbidding them to marry until they re
spectfully exhibit and schedule to head
quarters their financial provision for
the future. Sarcastic commentators
have already suggested, from the (Jen
eral's own example, that a schedule of
the bride's ansets would be accepted if
it makes a good showing.

Letter to the I deal t lotliing
Parlors.
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sirs: Clothing is just like paint:
It fits or it dont, turns weather and
water or not; and goes out of fashion
What do we wear clothes tori D'.d
you ever thinK of itV Different persons
have different reasons, no doubt, but
one paints Devoe for beauty, to be in
the I'ashion, and keep-out water.
Fashion says paint: we all paint.
There is beanty in paint; we paint a
good deal for that. And buildings are
costly and fashionable; put-on a w?.ter
proof two or three coats of paint and
your buildings last as long as you keep
them dry. It costs nothing to paint; it
costs your buildings not to.
D'.-voe is the paint that lasts: disap
pointing paints are the points that cost.
Yours truly
