LISTLESS READING. Th» Way to Correct This Fault and Get Beneficial Results. "Reading can be made a much great er source of pleasure to those who now only read when they can find no other pleasures," said a Columbia uni versity lecturer on English literature. "You have perhaps noticed with what keen sense of satisfaction some people read the newspapers. Do you went to know the secret of their abil ity to extract enjoyment iu this way? Well, you have probably noticed that those who can so rivet their attention to the printed page arc the ones who make It a point to talk about what they have read. "That is the secret. Try it. Read something, then tell some one about It. Do this with books as well as with papers. Soon you will notice that in reading a story you fix in your mind the things you want, to relate. You get the writer's point of view, then you fix upon the points he has pre sented. "At the beginning your story telling will lack the completeness of the story as written, and you will notice that your shortcomings in this direction nre due to listless reading. This will correct itself just to the extent of your ambition to become a reader for all there is in reading. 1 have given this bit of advice before and have N*eu thanked many times by those Who followed my directions. Try it anil mark the results."- Exchange. Husbands to Burn. The elderly spinster in the rear of the drawing room car had no more than settled In her seat when her at tention was attracted to a woman a little farther front who was garbed In the deepest mourning. As Miss Spinster adjusted her nose grabber glasses for a better inspection of the one in widow's weeds she saw the conductor lean over and converse with her earnestly for several minutes. When the conductor got back to her seat taking the passenger's tickets Miss Spinster was consumed with cu riosity about the woman In moorning. "Conductor," she asked in her sweet est tones, "what's the trouble with the lady up there In widow's weeds 7" "Oh, that's Mrs. Gettem!" replied the obliging conductor. "She's J oat. taking her third husband out to a crematory." "Oh, how dreadful!" exclaimed MJss Bptnrter. And then in a faraway voice she added: "And just think of It! Here I am past fifty and never had a husband In my life, while that woman up there has them to burn!"— New York Times. How the Culprit Was Detected. Of a certain Harrow master whom Mr. Tollemache In his reminiscences refers to as Mr. Y. the following story 5s told. Dr. Vaughan was master of Harrow at the time: "Mr. Y.—l am sorry, Dr. Vaughan, to have to report to you two of your monitors for drinking. Dr. V.-—This is a very serious charge. When and where did it happen? Mr. Y.—This afternoon In a public house iu Pinner. Dr. V.—Did you catch them flagrante delicto? Mr. Y. —No. Dr. Vaughan, I was in my study. Dr. V.—But surely yon cannot possibly have seen from your study to Pinner? Mr. Y.—l have a strong telescope. Dr. Vaughan. Dr. V.—But how can you tell that it was not water they were drinking? Mr. Y'. -—lt was gin and water. I noticed a •sediment of sugar at the bottom of their glasses. Skating. Skating is believed to have been in vented iu northern Europe in prehis toric times. William Fitz-Stepben speaks of It in London toward the end of the twelfth century, but it did J not really catch hold until the cava liers who had been in exile with Charles 11. brought it with them from I Holland.

"This is the seventeenth time I've | seen you before me in the dock," said I a magistrate, looking at a prisoner sternly. "Yes.

Burton Miller, right guard on the Norfolk (Conn.) football team, Is the j pluckiest man playing the game In | Connecticut this season. On a recent Saturday Miller had four ribs frac tured, but played the game out before | seeing a doctor. The other day, when I Norfolk met Torrlngton, Miller sur ! prised players and rooters of the Nor i folk eleven by appearing in togs for I the fray, ne played right guard in both halves. Norfolk lost by a score of 5 to 0, but It was not Miller's fault. Disappearing Home Life.

Waiters on Horseback. I In great French houses of days gone j by dinner was announced by the blow ing of hunting horns, and It Is on rec ord that at certain gain feasts the dishes were brought In by servants In full armor mounted upon caparisoned horses, a practice we could only look for during the reign of chivalry. Of the attendants at dinner the carver and server took precedence over all the others. They stood probably on each Bide of their lord. The server, It may be mentioned, was the officer who nlaced the dishes on the table. Then She'll Tell You.
