They travels from town to town in

Countermanded.
A very devout clergyman In the
middle west had just married a cou-
ple and as was his custom offered a
fervent prayer invoking the dlvlae
blessing upon them. As they seemed
to be worthy folk and not over-
burdened with this world's goods he-
prayed among other things for their
material prosperity and besought the
XrOrd to greatly Increase tbe man's
business laying much stress on this
point.
In filling out the blanks it became
necessary to ask the man hlB busi-
ness and to the minister's horror he
said: "I keep a saloon."
In telling the story to his wife after-
ward the clergyman said that aa he
wrote down the occupation he whis-
pered: 1
"Lord ifou needn't answer that
prayer."
That Wakes Him.

Artificial Pearls.
The latest methods of making arti-
ficial pearls have turned out to be so
successful that those who deal In gen-
uine ones confess they have some dif-
ficulty at times to decide upon the
false from the real. This fact has
Increased the sale of artificial pearls
in France and Injured In consequence
the sale of real pearls and made It
extremely difficult now for anyone
having even the costliest pearls If
they desire to sell to get anywhere
near what they were sure of getting
some few months ago. It remains
to be seen how these manufactured
pearls will stand time and wear and
whether or not they will lose their
sheen and color. A real pearl is kept
in Its beauty by being In contact with
the warmth of the wearer's body. That
is one of the reasons why pearls are
worn so constantly by their owners4
and it was the excuse at first for wear
Ing them In the daytime. Vogue.

The man who is always asking fool-
ish questions met a small boy .coming
down the road with a huge pickle
wrapped up In brown paper.
"What is that you have my little
man?"
"Pickle. Didn't think it was pump
kin did you?"
"H'm! Where are you going?"
"Fishing."
"Fishing with a pickle?"
"Sure. I am going to catch pick-
erel. Anything else you want to

Darkneae Temporal and Spiritual.
A certain bishop whoee dieoeee Is
near New York was calling recently
upon a family la taat city. This
aousaaold is in possession of a treas-
ure which has become extremely rare
of Late a faithful old Irish servant
whoee term of office dates back nearly
a quartet of a century. From long as-
sociation with the family she Is a priv-
ileged character and her "old coun-
try sayings furnish a never-ending)
source of fan. She now occupies the
posltios of morse to a little graadcalld
who lives with the family.
On tbe evening of the bishop's call
he and the members of the household
lncludtar the youngest Mary's
charge were sitting in tbe parlor after
dinner In the deepening twilight. Bed-
time for the little one arrived and
promptly on the hour came Mary In
search of her. In tae dim llarht the
old woman did not notice a stranger
in the room and speaking with nor
iMual freedom she exclaimed peering
about for the child:
"Well sure ye' re In tke dark like
the Protestant bisho!"
There was a roar of laughter and
the clergyman acknowledged that the
Joke was undoubtedly on him.
Misfits
That Are
Misfits
By George Etbelkert Walsh.
The round peg in a square hole or the
square peg in a round hole is a concrete
illustration to show the impossibility of a
"misfit making a success in life. Life is
full of misfits of men and women trying
1 11 1 1 1 1
ay I to nt in round noies wmcn ineir anguiar
llVfl I natures ar not suited to. Most of the
flotsam and jetsam of our large cities are
failures through the early misfit procesB.
The misfit who fails in life is with us
always but the successful misfit is quite
another creature. He apparently breaks
all the laws of business and professional
life. lie does not succeed however by
wearing the square peg round to fit the circular hole in which lie finds
himself early in life but he wriggles out of the hole and finds another
one more suited to his angularity. Such men we might say would suc-
ceed anywhere but their success so far as we can see was due to their
ability to adjust themselves to conditions that suited them.
As a misfit Edison early discovered tbe necessity of climbing out of
successive holes which circumstances thrust him into from newsboy to
printer and thence to telegrapher and finally inventor. Speaking of
this he once said : "I was climbing all the time but I didn't know exactly
what my life work was to be. I think sometimes the restless boy is sim-
ply a misfit trying to find what he is fitted for in life."
But life's successful misfits are not confined to any profession or
business. Take authorship. Half our successful writers were trained for
the law medicine or some business or left to drift hopelessly on the sea
of life until they got their bearings through accident or effort.
The successful misfits are as difficult to explain as genius. They ar-
rive in spite of themselves and in spite of their early false start. "You
must put a genius in a hole to make Rim climb high" is an old Spanish
saying. It has an application that plays an important part in the
scheme of life. Who can say how much good the early work of Benjamin
Franklin atjallow-chandlering had in developing his remarkable talent
as an inventor scientist and statesman or what lasting influence tiie
mercantile career of James K. Polk had in training him for the presi-
dency? From tleese examples one can draw the consolation that an early
false start does not necessarily spoil a career. Indeed it seems as if it
stimulated the misfit to greater effort to work his way out of the uncon-
genial work. It is only the weak and inefficient whose back is broken by
the uncongenial labor; the strong will work the harder to free himself
from the slavery and drudgery.

JUST ABOUT CLOCKS
MRS. HILLTOPS GIVES HER HUB
BY A LESSON.
Discoveries Previously Made Are Ex-
plained by Her to the Head of
the Household Who Is Duly
Impressed.
"My goodness!" said Mr. BIHtops
"I can't wind the clock!"
"What's the trouble Ezra?" said
Mrs. D.
"Why the pointer Is right over the
keyhole" Mr. Dllltops said.
Mrs. BIHtops looked up at Mr. B.
and the clock he had set out to wind
and a glance was sufficient.
"Of course It 1b" she said. "It's
eight o'clock and the pointer Is al-
ways over the keyhole at eight o'clock.
Now you will have to wait till the
pointer gets past then you can wind
it."
And then Mr. BIHtops who with all
his years Is In many ways most unso-
phisticated sat down to read the pa-
per to wait for the hour hand of the
clock to get past the eight o'clock key-
hole so that he could wind It. But "be-
fore beginning to read he laid the pa-
per on his knee for a moment and
looking over at Mrs. B.r said:
"Why I never knew that before
about the pointer and the keyhole."
"Well Ezra" said Mrs. BIHtops
who in the course of her multifarious
household duties has set balky clocks
going and oiled clocks with a broom
splint who knows more about clocks
than Mr. BIHtops would In a thousand
years and who could beat him at
mending anything seven times around
the globe. "It's always been so only
I guess you never happened to notice
It. And It's Juat the same at four
o'clock only ybu never noticed that
because you are not home to wind the
clocks at that hour; and you generally
wind them before eight so you never
noticed that.
"I don't pretend to be a clockmaker
Ezra" Mrs. BIHtops continued "but I
guesB It comes about something like
this:
"In a clock that winds with a key
you have to have two keyholes
one for the running part and one for
the striking part; and now these key-
holes might have been put In the up-
per part of the clock face by the
two on one side and the ten on the
other but I guess the original clock-
makers didn't put them there because
the old-time clocks were all big clocks
and that might have brought them .up
too high to be reached conveniently;
so they put them down In the lower
part of the face where they would be
handler where you now always find
them one on one side by the four
and the other on the other side by the
eight.
"And so. twice a day when the hour
hand Is at . four or at eight. It covers
the keyhole there and then you have
to walC for it to get by before you
can wind the clock. And then of
course you know the minute hand
goes round the clock face every hour
and so though in its travels It doesn't
stay there long. It covers each key-
hole every hour. So you see Ezra
there are really altogether a good
many times In the course of a day
when you can't wind a clock though
there Is really nothing In this to be
surprised over when you once re-
alize It."
And at the end of this little dis-
course Mr. Billtops looked up at the
clock that had surprised hlra. and
seeing the hour hand now sufficiently
clear of the keyhole so that he could
get the key into It he wound the clock
to make sure that he would not for-
get that and then ns-he sat down
again he cast one more admiring
glance at Mrs. Billtops thinking to
himself as he did so before taking up
his paper that while she might not be
a clockmaker she certainly was a most
'wonderful woman.
