WERE LOOKING FAR AHEAD
Choice of Baby'e Name Most Import-
ant in Vlow of Tremendoue
FoMibilitles.
It is a glorious possibility that
any American boy niay some day
become president, but, according to
a story told by Senator Bailey, it
sometimes causes fond parents
some concern. One of his constitu-
ents was the proud father of a
promising youngster, and on sever-
al occasions sought the senator's ad-
vice as to a Christian name, each
time expressing himself delighted
with the one suggested. One of the
Texan's greatest charms is his kind-
ly interest in the personal affairs of
humble friends, and it was quite like
him, upon seeing the father in
question some months later, to in-
quire if his son and heir had finally
received a satisfactory pseudonym.
"Well, no, senator," the man re-
plied. "We haven't been able to de-
cide on one just yet."
"What's the trouble, anyway?"
Mr. Bailey asked, with considerable
secret amusement. "There are a
good many to choose from."
"Yes, that's true," the father said
rumpling his hair; "but we wanted
to hit on a particularly good name
for him, one that is pretty and has
a distinguished sound, and which is
not common, as there will be so
many babies named after him when
he is president."—World's Events

CLERKS TIRE OF BEE 8TINGS.
Because of complaints from post-
office clerks being stung by bees sent
through the mails, the department
has issued a new order regulating
the matter.
Hereafter when the busy honey
bee is to be stamped and postmark-
ed as mail matter, it must be in-
cased in a box of some texture of
sufficient strength to resist the
puncturing powers of the lice's
stinger.
The box, while it mnst be safe
and strong and tight, must l>e so
constructed as to permit of inspec-
tion of the contents without it being
necessary to expose the inspector to
any of the dangers subsequent to
the handling of the thrifty tenant
of the box.

OPIUM IN FRENCH NAVY.
Dr. Jeanselme, one of the profes-
sors at the Paris Faculty of Medi-
cine, states that the opium habit is
much more common among French
navy officers than is generally sup-
posed and he thinks it quite uossi-
l le that the prevalence of this curse
may explain the numerous disaster*
which have overtaken the French
navv of late. Dr. Jeanselme sets
the number of opium smokers in
the colonial infantry regiments at
15 per cent, in the foreign legion
at "20 per cent and among Europeans
in native regiments at %5 per cent.
He says that opium dens abound
at Toulon, Brest, l/>riet. Kochefort,
Cherbourg and Paris.
AMERICANS ON MOTOR TOURS.
It is estimated that there are now
in Europe 8,000 American touring
parties in automobiles, concerning
which it is said : Each car carries
on an average of live persons, mak-
ing a total of 40,000 American^
motoring on the continent. The ex
pens** will average $10 per dav for
each person, making a daily expen-
diture by this class of American
travelers in Europe of $100,000.
The American motorist usually
s|n'ud two months on the continent,
which brings the aggregate expendi-
ture up to **>4,000,000 for the sen
son.
SHEETS MEASURED BY LAW.
MUSSULMAN AT P^YEl
He Is Not Easily Disturbed When at
His Daily Dsvction.
When saying his prayers the true
Mussulman is not easily disturbed.
Hans Doering, in his account of his
travels in ("hinese Turkestan, writes:
"It is an interesting sight to see a
Mussulman perform his devotions.
Through the piece of glass in my
paper window I saw the interpreter
spread his carpet in front of his
house just opposite the one' in which
I was living. His wife and child
sat quite close to him talking loudly
with some visitors, but this did not
in the least disturb the old man at
his devotions.
"In spite of the noise the melodi-
ous chanting of the koran was quite
audible. The worshiper kotowed
several times and cried 'Allah! Al-
lah! Allah!' Then for a while stood
reverentially clasping his hands
crosswise upon his breast, after
which he joined in the conversation.
"Ilis wife then went through the
same performance, doing exactly
the same as her husband. This they
do every morning and evening
whether there are friends with them
or not."

AFTER 29 YEARS IN BED
Champion Lazy Man Arises and
Seems Prepared to Resume the
Strenuous Life.
According to the advertisements,
Federal supervision, actual or
threatened, has had a salutary effect
in at least one department of house-
hold supplied. It has increased the
supply of sheet*. Moat merchant.*
who advertise a special sale of
shirts takes pains to state the size.
Bv comparing preaentdav figures
with those of a vear ago it is found
that the readv made sheets now of*
fered for sale measure two or three
inehes more hoth in length and
width than those advertised then.

THESE THEORISTS.
Senator I'latt, seated on the
|>orch of his hotel at Manhattan
Beach, condemned certain new j
trends in politics. "Theories, theo-
ries," he said, with a wave of his
hand. "Theories ami theorists—
they are apt to err. very apt to err.":
1 /)oking out at the white heach
and the sunlit hlue sea, he shook his
head and chuckled.
"Theorists go mad," he said
''over their theories. You know the
theorv that Bull wrote, 'God Navti
the (jueen?' William Chappell and
Joshua Ma id win were the most
ardent supporters of this theory, hut
one day they found an inconvenient
entry in a rare old Tudor manu-
aeript that threw the gravest doubt
upon their claim.
"In this case what did they do?
Thev clublx-d together, Imttght the
manuscript, and burned it with
great secrecy, solemnly ejaculating:
" 'Thank goodness, we have now
got rid of that objection to our
theory.'"
BLINDNESS OF CONCEIT.
"Ever notice the density of a con-
ceited person?" asked a business
man. "To me that's the most strik-
ing thinjj about such an individual.
Maybe lie lias some qualities that
justify his good opinion of himself,
and maybe not; he's dense, just the
same, and the pr *>f of it is that he
doesn't realize how he impresses his
associates unpleasantly. If the
average conceited man had the lenst
idea of the handicap under which he
is laboring he'd shed it mighty
quick. But he hasn't, and it's im- j
possible to drill it into him. lie's
the modern human ostrich with hie |
head stuck into the sand, so far ae
any n"cognition of his disagreeable
trait is concerned.
REASON FOR HIGH PRICE.
"You charge me two dollars for
that little dish of 'possum?" said
the guest at the cross-roads hotel.
"It's an outrage!"
Excitement was caused in Lnr-
gan, County Armagh, says the Lon-
don Daily Mail, wiien it was learned
■jnc afternoon recently that the
town was l eing visited by George
Thompson, the Clare man, who re-
cently gained much notriety by the
disclosure of the fact, vouched for
by his neighbors, that he had such
an affection for his l>ed that he re-
nminbi in it for twenty-nine years,
having been known in that period
to put on a suit of clothes on only j
three occasions. It was his second
visit to Kurgan, where he went two j
years ago. when, in consequence of
his mother's illness, his home was
temporarily broken tip and his long
rest disturbed. On that occasion
Thompson was conveyed to the
I workhouse in the ambulance. Re-
cently. however, a change has come
i over Thompson's manner of life.
On Mondav he was in charge of a
I horse and cart conveying coal for
liis landlord, and it was very appar-
ent that lie now intends to adopt
the strenuous life, and hopes to
make up for lost time. He has also
j got over his distaste for publicity,
| and did not resent the attentions
of a large crowd of several hun-
dred who subjected him to some good
natured chaff in the High street
■unl | evented him from proceeding
with his load l« r *<> ne time.
