He added, however, that he was prepared for the worst and touched his belt, in which he carried two huge Colt's revolvers and a bowie knife.

The following episode, representa­ tive enough of real'life, no doubt, has been evolved by the cynical wit of a Frenchman to show the feeling of a man toward another who owes him money: A debtor comes in to his creditor's house and finds him taking up his hat. "Ah," said the debtor, "you seem to be Just going out----" "Well, yes--the fact ia, I have a press­ ing engagement, and If-- "I came to see you about that little debt" "Oh, well, be seated!" He puts down his hat, and the debtor goes on: "I thought I would ask you for a fur­ ther extension " The creditor takes up his hat again. "Yes--'but 1 hope you'll pardon me-- you see, I'm expected " "I was going to say that I thought I'd ask you for another extension, but on my way here I met a man who owed me Just that amount " "Yes?

Drooping the shoulders a little, droop­ ing the head as one walks, standing unevenly, so that one hip sinks more than the other, do not tend to form a straight figure or a graceful, easy car­ riage. * , An easy way»to practice walking well is to start out right Just before you leave the house walk up to the wall, and see that your toes, chest and nose touch it at once, then in that at­ titude walk away. Keep your head up j and your chest out, and your shoulders and back wilt take care-of themselves. A Southern school teacher used to in­ struct her pupils to walk always as if trying to look, over,the top of an imag-' inary carriage just. in froht of them. It was good advice, lor it kept the head well raised. Prescription Wanted. Mrs. Oldham--Doctor, what ahall I do to pretent these horrid wrinkles from coming at the cornera of my eyes?

' The ham-smeller's only tools are a. \ ' long steel trier and hla nose.
