A POOR, sentences certs;

"My friend Mr. 'Staybolt,”said Mr.
Gratebar, "has such a poor memory
for dates that he cannot tell oflhand
what year he was born in. Neither
can he tell without a little thought
how old he is. But the year of his
enlistment in the army and his age
at that time seem to be indelibly im-
pressed upon his mind, and reckon-
Ing from that year he arrives easily
at the date of his birth and at his
present age.
“He doesn't remember his chil-
dren's birthday. They would come
and go without his knowledge if he
were not reminded of them byhis
wife. Prompted by her, he takes
his son George, for instance, by the
hand upon the proper date and
gravely wishes that 7-year-old young-
ster a happy birthday and many re-
turns of the day, and the innocent
child doesn’t suspect that his father
never would have thought of it at
all if his mother hadn’t kept nag.
ging at him.
“80 about the date of his wife’s
birthday. It did seem to Mr. Stay-
bolt as though he ought to be able to
remember that, but he couldn’t. He
tried for years, but he failed every
time. On the next day his wife
would say:
” ‘Did you~er—forget something?’
“When Mr. Staybolt heard that
year before last, he made up his
mind that he wouldn't forget it again,
and he tied a string around his fin-
gerforthwith, and when he got to his
office he made a memorandum. ‘ His
wife's birthday is Oct. 29. He got
down his book for notes payable or
something of that sort that has dates
away ahead in it, and he put down
under the date of Oct. 29——
“ ‘Cynthia‘s birthday.’
“Then he laughed to himself and
went on with his work.
“Months rolled by, and Mr. Stay-
bolt forget things, as usual, but he
couldn‘t forget the date of Cynthia‘s
birthday, for he had that down in
the book. As the time drew near
he laughed again as he saw staring
at him from the top of the page for
Oct. 29——
“ ‘(fynthia‘s birthday.’
“And when he read it there on
the morning of the day he made up
his mind that when he went out to
lunch he would buy a nice birthday
present for his wife. That night he
ate dinner comfortably, as usual, In
his pleasant home, and in the mom-
ing. as ho was about to start for the
office, his wife said:
“ ‘Did you~ er—forget something?‘
“He had; he had. He had forgot—
ten not only the day, but the pres—
ent. Then be tied another string
around his finger and made another
memorandum in his book, and this
time he engaged a steady young
clerk in the office to keep track of
the date. too, and to see that on next
Oct. 20 Mr. Stuybolt takes a pack-
age home w1th him. and it is under
stood that the clerk is not to leave
him until he has actually seen him
deliver the package into Mrs. Stay.

Art Equal to the Occasion.
A good story is told of Landeccr‘s
“Cat's Paw.” Lord Essex suggested
the subject of the picture to the art-
ist and promised him 100 guineus for
the picture. In process of time the
painting took its place at Cassiobury,
"out when next Lord Essex saw the
young artist, some twa years later,
he complained bitterly of the paints
lundseer had employed, though he
still gave ullpraise to the work of
art itself. "You should use better
pigments; yours’ are very bad; the
cat is making a fuss about nothing,
for the fire is out and the chesnuts
cold." explained Lord Essex. Lantl~
scer thus narrates the sequel: “I
hired a gig from Tilbury‘s and drove
down to (.‘ussiobury one Sunday
morning when the old boy was at
church. With difficulty and a little
palm oil I gained admission, and in
half an hour I was back in my gig.

and leaving a note for his lordship
to say that I hoped he would find

son to yell. as she was doing—Black

Process of Making Postage Stamps.
Every part of postage stamp mak-
ing is done by hand. The designs are
engraved on steel, 200 stamps on a
single plate. These plates are inked
by two men and then are printed by
agirl and a man on a large hand
press. They are dried as fast lib
printed and then gummed with a
starch paste made from potatoes.
This paste is dried by placing the
sheets in a steam fanning machine,
and then the stamps are subjected to
a pressure of 2, 000 tons in a hydraulic
press. Next the sheets are cut so
that each one contains. 100 stamps,
after which the paper between the
stamps is perforated. and after being
pressed the sheets are filed away. it
a single stamp is injured, the whole
, sheet is bumed.»-St. Paul Pioneer-

two members were not deemed sufficient
to establish a society "for the promotion

soon be ranked with other college organ-
izations. The new members are: Miss

Ker Powers Defined.
The attorney general of Illinois informs
Mrs. Florence Kelley, appointed under
the factory and workshop law recently
enacted in Illinois, that her powersas in-
spector are not limited to the factories
and workshops specified in one section
of the act, but extend to cases where cer-
tain other sections are violated. Under
this interpretation an inspector, such as
Mrs. Kelley, has a right to investigate
all cases arising under violation of its
provisions prohibiting the employment
of women and girls for more than eight
hours of each day, or any employment
of children under lei years, or the em-
ployment of youths of either sex between
14 and 10 years, except under regulations
insuring their physical soundness. This
decision gives the newly appointed in-
spectors wide powers of supervision.
They began work on July 20, with head-
quarters at 247 West Polk street, Chica-
go. Mrs. Kelley is a Philadelphian.
daughter of the late Judge Kelley. Be-
ing now divorced from her Russian hus-
band, she has resumed her maiden name.

May Women Smoke?
The burning question whether women
may smoke is still bcin g publicly debuted
with grcat energy. Lady Colin (Sump-
bcll comes out defiantly in favor of the
privilege in the last number of an Eng-
lish illustrated nmgtizinc. She declares
that the finer clay of woman has more
need of tobacco than man's. It is the
cigurcttc. of course, that Lurly Campbell
would like to see more often bctivccu
her sisters lips.
Mrs. Lynn Lynlon contributes a l'niitl-
ter blast. which, for purposes of convic-
tion. protcsts rather too much. She
sums it tip. however, in saying:
"The corcof this movement is not spe-
cial love for tobacm, purr- und simple,
but the determination of modern wot \
to ignore the limitations, the apportion-
ments. the conventirmul prrq’iricties, as
well uselemcntnl differences of scx."-—-
