MEN AND THEIR NAMES.
A System That Was Used For Correctly I
Connecting Them.
For 15 cents at a stationery stor
I bought a little alphabetically in
dexed book that fitted comfortably
into my vest pocket. In its pages \
wrote the names of all persons 1
could recall having met. Besidt
each name was placed some distin
guishing word or phase of identifi
cation—thus:
Jones, Silas H., black haired coal
dealer; Lamson, John, teller Firs.
National bank; Kendricks, Hiram,
ticket agent at depot.
I not only indexed the names, bui
also adopted a cross reference sys
tem—for example:
Coal dealer, black hair, Silas II.
Jones; teller First National bank,
John Lamson; ticket agent, Hiram
Kendricks.
By thus associating the face, name
and distinguishing words I lioped
that I could, by a hurried and per
haps secret reference to my book,
secure any desired name.
Every night when 1 came home
from my daily parade of the streets
in search of a job 1 went over the
names in the book. In two or three
weeks, ns 1 added names that had
slipped from me and those newly
acquired, I found no less than 200
on the list. I now adopted the
practice of calling every one by
name, even if I merely passed the
time of day or waved my hand in
greeting. Before this, even with
my best friends, it had always been,
“Hellot** or “Say!”
A new world began to dawn when
I put myself to the task. I found
that by concentrating my mind on
a man’s name when I met him and
associating it with his face and busi
ness there was no trouble whatever.
It gave me great joy to find one
night that I could remember every
f erson I had met during the day.
also found that I had complete
control of all the names in my hook.
Soon that little book became super
fluous. 1 could easily impress a new
name and face upon my memory
Little tricks were resorted to, such
as associating Mr. Long’s height
with his name, and a common name
such as Smith, Clark or Brown was
instantly made mine by classing it
with the constantly increasing list
of Smiths, Clarks or Browns, thus
remembering a great many people
in groups of dozens or more. I
would visualize all these groups.
Whenever the name of Brown was
uttered the faces of all the men I
knew answering to that name filed
before me. By associating the name
with the face the name popped
into my head when I saw the face
again.—Bookkeeper.
English In Java.
A hook published in Java, ealleft
"The West Java Travelers’ Guide,”
says of a certain sanitarium: “At
the establishment is a physician.
The sick may invoke the physician
for daily treatment, with use of
medicaments. Children below ten
years pay for lodges half of the
price.”
Under “Addresses and Announce
ments” is politely recommended
“the hotel prigin, with occasion for
warm baths, where till now all re
convalescents, as well as Mrs. Physi
cians and particulars and officials,
have found back their health. Cures
malaria, complains in the chest and
other fatnesses, green sickness, cu
taneous diseases,” etc., and we are
assured that “this healthy abode for
reconvalescents has also occasion to
many delightful idylic
to which saddle horse and tandees
are stationed when before timely
ordered.”

King Canute’s Church.
Cancwdon is a small Essex vil
lage which once held an important
place in the making of England. It
was here that Canute and his Danes
won that decisive victory over Ed
mund Ironsides which gave the Eng
lish crown to the Danish pirate.
The conqueror named its rising
ground “Canute’s Down” (Canew-
don), and gave the five manors com
prising the parish to his son Sweyn.

“Charlotte, my deur, how is it I
find you weeping? Have you had
bad news from your husband?”
“Oh, worse than that! My Ar

he would die with ardent longings
for me were it not that he could
gaze affectionately at my picture
and cover it with a thousand kisses
every day.”
“That is really very nice of him.

Lead Shot.
We owe lead shot to Watt9, a
Bristol plumber, who dreamed that
while repairing a church roof his
foot slipped and a ladle of molten
lead that he was carrying fell to the
ground and that on descending to
recover his property he found that
the metal had assumed, instead of
the silver plaque he had expected,
the form of countless minute glob
ules. Curiosity led him next day
to repeat, so far as he could, the ac
cident of his dream. A like result
followed, and the lucky dreamer ul
timately nude a handsome fortune.

Dodged a Scolding.
She—George, did you mail that
letter I gave you last Monday morn
ing?
He (cornered, but fertile in ex
pedients) — No, I didn’t. And,
what’s more, I demand to know its
contents!
She (amazed) — Why, George,
what’s the matter?
He (inwardly delighted) — I’m
jealous—that’s what’s the matter—
madly, desperately, insanely jeal
ous!
She—You dear old goose! It’s
only a letter to Cousin Sue.
He (apparently much relieved)—
Is that all? How foolish of me!
I’ll go out and mail it at once.—

Ah, yes, my Arthur is very poet
ical! But let me tell you that just
to try him I slipped my mother’s
photo into his traveling bag instead
of my own before he started.”—
London Tit-Bits.
Which?
A justifiable rebellion was that
of Isabel. She was on the grass in
excursion? f r0 nt of the house playing with the
baby, aged two. Isabel herself, not
more than three times the other’s
age, was acting the part of mother
to perfection. Presently along came
a young man who thought lie under
stood children.
“Good morning!” he said elabo
rately, taking off his hat. “How are
/ou ladies today?”
Isabel looked at him with dignity
and replied “Good morning!” and
went on attending to the baby.
The young man stooped down.
“Ah,” he said, “and which is
which ?”
“Fm Isabel,” replied the older
girl, “and that’s which.”
Mr Tom Jones ot Bremen,
visited his brothe-, Grady Jones
here Tuesday.
Tom [ones of Bremen will
buy cotton seed in Whitesburg
this fall for the Bucxeye Cotton
Oil Co. This gives us five co n
tod seed buyers here and assures
anyone who brings seed here

Case Proved.
"You aver,” thundered the black
browed bandit chief, “that you are
the celebrated prima donna M’lle.
Squallina! .Prove it and you arc
free! Never shall it he said that a
Cuttawuzanda would offer an indig
nity to an opera soprano! It is
against all the tenets of the profes
sion !”
“But how,” wailed the captive,
“shall I prove my identity ?”
“By singing, of course!”
"What!” shrieked the lady. “Sing
in this cave! No bouquets, no en
thusiastic applauders, and not a
cent in the box office! Never!”
“Gentlemen,” declared the ban
dit, “it is quite evident that this
lady is what she claims to he. Es
cort her to the nearest village and
set her free.”
Not Very Reliable.
The sagos of the general store
were discussing the veracity of old
Si Perkins when Uncle Bill Abbott
ambled in.
“What do you think about it, Un
cle Bill ?” they asked him. “Would
you call Si Perkins a liar?”
“Waal,” answered Uncle Bill
slowly as he thoughtfully studied
the ceiling, “I don’t know as I’d go
so far as to call him a liar exactly,
but I do know this much—when
feedin’ time comes, in order to get
any response from his hogs he has
to get somebody else to call ’em for
him. ”—Everybody’s.
When the Woman Fainted.
This happened on the Lake Shore
flier not long ago. A man rushed
in from the car behind, evidently in
great agitation, and said: “Has any
body in the car any whisky? A wo
man in the car behind has fainted.”
Instantly dozens of flasks were pro
duced. The man who hnd asked for
it picked out the largest one, drew
the cork and put the bottle to his
lips. With a long, satisfied sigh, he
handed it back and remarked:
“That did me a lot of good. I need
ed it, for it always makes me feel
queer to see a woman faint.”
The Bird of Death.
New Guinea is the abode of th*
most wonderful feathered creature
known to the student of ornitholo-
fy—the awful rpir n’doob, or “bird
of death.” The venom of this bird
is more deadly than that of any ser
pent except the cobra. In fact, no
antidote for the bite of the creature
is known. A wound from its beak
causes excruciating pains in every
part of the body, loss of sight,
speech and hearing, convulsions,
lockjaw and certain death.
