Thomas Butler, a Colonel in th army of the United States early In the nineteenth century, died in New Orleans in 1S05 In the midst of hl.i celobiated controversy with Gen. Wilkinson regarding the wearing of his queue. Col. Butler Insisted on wearing his hair in the old fashioned style in disobedience to Wilkinson's orders According to Pierce Butler In hU recently published biography of .lu dan P. Benjamin, while the dis pute was still raging Butler died and left directions that a hole should be bored in tho head of his coftln and that he should be borne to the grave with his triumphant pigtail prortrudlng in defiant e. Tho family tradition is that these directions were carried out. Only the Truth. A virtue carried to excesB may be come ridiculous. To such action one may well preach, "Be temperate In all things," even in virtue! Amelia Ople, the English authoress, was not content with any half measures, as Is shown In a letter from her. quot ed in "Quaker Pictures," by Wilfred Wbitter. Mrs. Opie's course of con duct Is to be respected as proceed ing from her conscientious nature, but fiction-readers may congratulate themselves t.hnt her opinions are not universal. Before she became a Quaker she wrote Action. After her conversion she was asked to contribute a story to a magazine. Her answer to the editor ran as follows: "Thou-knoweet, or oupht to know, that since I became a Friend I am not free to what is called to make n story. I will write a fact for thy perusal, or any little n. alter of his tory or truth, or a poem If thou wlshest, but I must not lie and say such and such a thing took place when It did not. "Dost thou understand?" The Ozark Mountains. The Ozark mountains form a pla teau region, from 1,200 to 1,800 feet above the sea level, extending with gradual upllftings from the southern part of Illinois into Mis souri, then, sloping down, enters Arkansas and Indiana Territory, and extends Into KansaB. The highest pcint Is Pilot Knob, in Iron county, Mo. The hills are in separate peaks or knobs, and uot continuous ridges. The irregularities which show moun tain making processes as existing are not visible here. The Ozark mountains, or Ozark Plateau, belong with the oldest mountain regions of the world, and denudation Is slowly but surely re moving the onee lofty mountains. The plateau belongs to the Tertiary period, but Pilot Knob, and vicinity belong to the Palyac ozolc age. North of the Ozark slope and south of the Mississippi river is an old flood plain. On tho southern slope are large for ests. Remedy for Clinking. "Raising the left arm us high as you can will relieve choking much more rapidly than the act of thump ing one's back," said a physician, "and it is well that every one should know It, for often a person gets choked while er-.tlng where there Is no one near to thun-n him. Very frequently at meals and when they are at play, children get choked whllo eating, and the cuBturuary manner of relieving them Is to slap them sharply on the back. The effect of this Is to set the obstruc tion free. Tho same thing ran be brought about by raining the left hand of the child as high as possi ble, and the relief comes much more quickly. In happenings of this kind there should be no alarm, for if the child sees that older pers-ons or par ents get excite ! the effect is bad. The best thing Is to tell the cliil 1 to ralre Its left ai m, p.ni lr.-me 'lately tht tf7iriiltv passes aaay."

Your treatment is beyond endur ance. A weaker woman would be driven Into a mad-house. I am surely losing my mind. I never bad a moment's peace. You are making my life a bell on earth. You are driving me to an early grave. I am simply worn to the bone. Never got one kind word. Oh, why did I leave home? I can never open my mouth. Oh, If the grave would only open and take me in.

The late King Oscar of Sweden was the least conventional of mon archy, but he bad to courtesy to cus tom, nevertheless. The King and Monsieur Bonnier, the botanist, met as strangers, the New York Sun's foreign correspond ent says, while out in search of flow ers near Stockholm. They were soon the , best of friends, and Bonnier suggested lunch at his inn. "Come home with me instead," said the other. When the way led to the palace gates Bonnier hesitated. "I'm sorry," said his companion, "but I happen to be the king of this country, and this is the only place where I can entertain my friends." For a Loaf, All Right. As the tramp looked at Mrs. God. ard he felt a thrill of hope. Hers was surely an easy and benevolently Inclined person. "Could you gimme a dime to buy a loaf o' bread?" he whined. Mrs. Godard's guileless soul look ed out at him through ber near sighted eyes, and she fingered ber purchase hopefully. "I have only a quarter here." said sher"and I'm really too tired to walk home." "Sure, I can change It for you," said the tramp, cheerfully, as he took out a dime and a nickel; and not until Mrs. Godard was half-way home on the car did It occur to her that there was anything unusual In the transaction. Microscopic Writing. . A remarkable machine made by a lately deceased member of the Royal Microscopical Society for writ ing with a diamond seems to have' been broken up by Its Inventor. A specimen of Its work Is the Lord's prayer of 227 letters, wrkten In the 1,237,000 of a square inch, which is at the rate of 63.880,000 letters or IS complete Bibles, to a single square inch. To decipher the writ ing it is necessary to use a 1-12-Inch objective, which is the high power lens physicians employ for studying the most mlunte bacteria. "Only l's Chickens." The same thing that prompts on to say yes In answer to the query, "Are you asleep?" may have Influ enced the negro in the following story from Life: It was a dark night, and the own er of the chtcken-coop, gun In hand, was Investigating certain suspicious noises be had heard. "Who's in there?" ha called at the open window. Erastus, inside, replied softly and reassuringly, "Ain't nobody heah 'celn us chickens." ISrouglit Into Commerce. The fruit of the garlte tree Is now being handled In fair commercial quantities for the production of a cheap type of vegetable grease, use ful for the manufacture of soap and candles. Criticism of Nature. "It has always seemed to me that Nature is at fault," observes the Philosopher of Folly, "when she fives a man a mouth capable of bit in r? mgr than be can chew." WOULUNT BE TALkfcD ABODT. ISP? 1 v ilae Msarilii "I wonder why It Is that the big fish always get away!" - "I suppose because he'd feel small If he got caught." Once Poor Himself. The little hero of the following Incident did not belong to ma. In fact, from, his appearance I think he belonged to no one In particular. I am equally sure that the fact of his loneliness bsd no terrors for him. He was a ragged little urchin selling papers on a busy downtown corner. A stylishly gowned woman amid the hurrying throng dropped her pocket book. Quick as a flash the boy seized it and hurried after her, Touching bis cap, he handed bar the heavy purse. She thanked him very graciously and banded him a nickel. In a tone equally gracious he responded, "Aw, keep your nickel; I was poor once myself." Delineator. Confession of a Jury Man. A lawyer once asked a man who had at various times sat on several Juries, "Who Influenced you most the lawyers, the witnesses, or the Judge?" He expected to get some useful and interesting Information from so experienced a Juryman. This was the man's reply: "I toll yer, sir, ow 1 makes up my mind. I'rq a plain man, and a reaaoaln' man, and 1 ain't Influenced by any thing the lawyers say, nor by what the witnesses say, no, uor by what the judge says. I Just looks at the man In the docks and I says, 'If he aln t done nothing, why's he there?1 And I brings 'em all In guilty." Mistaken. Recently two gentlemen, driving In a wagonette, were smoking, when a spark falling from one of their cigars set Are to some straw at the bottom of the carriage. The flames soon drove them from their seats; and while they were extinguishing the Ore, a countryman, who had for some time been following them oa horseback, alighted to assist them. "I have been watching the smoke for some time," ssid he. "Why, then, did you npt give us notice?" asked the astonished , travellers. "Well," responded the man, "there are so many new-fangled notions nowadays, I thought you were going by steam." Answered According to HIa Folly. Brevity Is the soul of wit. Take, for example, the story of the twe men, one of whom asked the other: "Do you drink?" "That la my busi ness," came the gruff reply. "Have you any other business?" asked the Drat man, with great presence ol mind. Personal. "I think it only proper to remark, Mr. Seet," said the haughty girl, who thought she detected "signs," "thai I would not marry the best ma a Hy ing." "Don't be alarmed," replied Mr. Con Beet, "he isn't going to pro pose. My Interest la you la merely Platonic." A Use for the Dish Mop.
