THE BACHELOR BRUTE.
Why He Would Have Married Had He
Been a Korean.
The matron was disgusted with
the bachelor. There was no doubt
about it. She said she was.
For the fourth time he had foiled
her most skillful efforts at match¬
making. She had given him every
opportunity to fall in love with four
girls, any one of whom was a prize.
They would have taken him, too,
had he asked them the all impor¬
tant question, for he was decidedly
a “catch.” But he w r as happy in his
single life and did not care to take
a risk.
“I wash my hands of you,” she
said. “Never again, never, shall I
introduce you to another girl, and I
hope you may never know the hap-
piness of being married to a charm-
ing woman.”
“I second that hope with all my
heart,” he added, smiling.
She glared.
“I wish you had been born a Ko¬
rean I” she cried.
“Can't second that proposition,”
he replied. “American birth is good
enough for me. But why a Korean ?
Surely you would not have me a
pygmy, that you mm ht beat me.”
“I wouldn't touch you,” she an¬
swered shortly; “but if you had
been a Korean you would forget
this bachelor madness. Until you
had married you would have to
wear hair in a braid, keep quiet in
company and be without rights as a
man. That would bring you to time
quickly enough.”
“Fm not so sure,” he said. “Let
us see what rights come to the Ko¬
rean by marriage. He can pile his
hair on top of his head, he can squat
instead of sitting down properly,
and he can jabber away in com-
pany.”
“But you forget that until mar-
ried he cannot smoke tobacco.”
She knew that was a telling shot.
Had he not been punctuating his
remarks with rings from his shining
brier?
“I did forget the smoking,” he
said, smiling. ‘‘If I were a Korean,
I would certainly marry.”
“Brute!” she cried as he left her.

She Got Her Papa.
William Allen was known as the
“iron governor” of Ohio not be¬
cause he had been an iron king or
anything like that, but because he
had not the slightest sympathy in
the world for a criminal, and when¬
ever pardon an application was made to him
to an erring one he was as
“iron” and could not be moved, so
he was called the “iron governor.”
One Thanksgiving eve he was ap¬
plied to for executive clemency by
the wife of a notorious horse thief
and one who was serving a third
term at that. He sat at his desk.
his back turned to the tearful pleacF
er, her. not even She condescending to look
at had brought with her
a five-year-old girl, who had been
quietly watching. Suddenly the
child went to him and, pulling his
coattail, said:
“You mean old thing, I want my
papa.”
And the “iron governor” snatched
her up, kissed her smack on the
mouth and said, “And you shall
have him.”
True to his word, later that day
the wife and child came away from
the prison with tlie pardoned hus¬
band and father.—Denver Times.
How Glass Beads Are Made.
Glass beads are made in the fol-
lowing manner;
T%o workmen take the melted

the pot by dipping their blowing
tubes into it. Each man then ex-
pands the “gathering” on the end
of his tube, opens the hollow bulb
at the end of his tubes, and the two
bulbs while still very hot are joined
together. This done, the men walk
rapidly in opposite directions, thus
drawing out the hollow dimensions. glass until

All this is done in a shed somewhat

broken into pieces about a foot long.
These shorter lengths are annealed
and cut again into mere fragments.
The next stage in the process is
placing these fragments into a drum
with a mixture of charcoal and plas¬
ter and causing the drum to revolve
over a fire. The effect is to soften
the perforated canes, as they may
be called, and give them a rounded
form, the charcoal and plaster dust
preventing the beads from sticking
together while soft.

man, and the two New York mil¬
lionaires who were his companions
on The a fishing trip in northern Maine.
New Yorkers entered the lit¬
tle backwoods meeting house just as
the preacher began his sermon. He
continued speaking for two hours,
and finally, when it got late in the
afternoon and he showed no sign of
stopping, the vacationists began to
get uneasy and wonder if they would
get out of the woods before dark.
At last they felt that they could
stay no longer, so they rose and
started to file out.
The thread of the parson's dis¬
course snapped off short.
“Under the circumstances,” he
said grimly, “we will interrupt our
sermon and take up the collection at
this point.”
