Brown, the treasurer, stole a
way from his partners and
hotfooted it over the back trail

One of the chief characteristics of
the human race Is Inqulsitlveffess—not
Bo much about things and plflces and
Ideas as about each other. Every
proper person Is a born gossip, and
tbe accomplished scandal monger Is
always welcome, provided, of course,
his scandal Is about others. You can
test this at any time by considering
who are the people you like best to
meet and who are always surrounded
by the greatest number of Idle acquain
tances. Invariably you must be forced
to the conclusion they are those who
have made a business of acquiring In
formation about others and retailing
their knowledge In various dressings.
This love of gossip is further revealed
In tbe kind of books which claim the
widest appreciation. You will find
that these books ore not poetry, drama,
science or philosophy. They are nov
els, memoirs, diaries. Intimate histories,
recollections, letters—all of them es
sential gossip (and sometimes scandal)
appearing by their power to attract the
gossiping sense which exists In all of
us.—T. P.'s London Weekly.
The Koran.
In the London Everyman is a re
view of the Koran and Its author, Mo
bammed. It Is a one man's book and
that man not an imaginative one, but
essentially a man of action and lack
ing in Invention. Tbe Koran Is a jum
bled mass of precepts, doctrines,
threats, injunctions, divine commands,
narrative, lyric and epic poetry. It's
heaven and hell are too material for
modern thought "Obviously,” says
Everyman, “the Koran Is' meant not
to be read with the eye, but to be re
cited, when the repetitions nre not
nearly so pronounced. It reflects a so
cial order, a system of Ideas as re
mote from Rome, and more especially
from Greece, as our own nre from the
North American Indian. But neither
time nor evolution can utterly quench
the flame of Mohammed's personality,
which carried his followers to reckless
excesses, to the sovereignty of em
pires. which created an art peculiar
to Islam and founded age long tradi
tions.”
One of the Sights of Pari*.
The Paris department stores are
worse jumbles even than the English
department stores. When there Is a
special sale under way the bargain
counters are rigged up on the side
walks. There, in the open air, buyer
and seller will chaffer and bicker and
wrangle and quarrel and kiss and make
up again—for all the world to see. One
of the free sights of Paris Is a frugal
Frenchman with his fuce extensively
haired over pawing like a Skye terrier
through a heap of marked down lin
gerie. picking out things for the female
members of bis household to wear, now
testing some material with his tongue,
now holdiug a personal article up iq
the sunlight to examine the fabric
while his wife stands humbly, dumbly
by, waiting for him to complete his se
lections.—Irving S. Cobb in Saturday
Evening Post
A Bird In the Hand, Etc.
The minister had just pronounced
the words which made them one. Of
course the next thing of Importance
was the fee.
The bridegroom looked at bis bride,
then at tbe minister. Fumbling in
bis pocket be produced a two dollar
bill.
“IJere Is a two dollar bill I will give
you now," he said, “or 1 will wait un
til tbe end of six months and pay you
what I think it is worth, even if It is
a hundred dollars. You can take your
choice,"
The minister studied a moment,
glanced at the bride and hastily re
plied:
“I’ll take the $2 now.”—Indianapolis

Ghost Plant of Oregon.
Ttfe ghost plant was known and
much praised by the IudlaDS of Oregon
in times past and is sometimes known
os the Indian pipe plant. It is said the
Indians believed that it bad great rem

tion which they considered curative
for diseases of the eye. It is a tall,
waxlike plant about eight Inches high,
and its bloom resembles a waxen cup.
