mT is a dangerous thing when you have let slip an
unfortunate remark to try to cover up the blun
der.
Mrs. G. was talking with the wife of J udge H.
about her son's choice of a profession. "I don't want him
to be a lawyer," she said.
"You don't?" queried the judge's wife, with a smile.
"No; I do not," said Mrs. G. And there was a slight
flavor of acid -in her voice.
"Why not?" said the judge'3 wife in surprise. "I
think there is nothing much finer than the legal profes
sion for a bright boy."
"Well," said Mrs. G. bluntly, "a lawyer has to tell so
many lies." Then it dawned on her that 6he was talking
to the wife of a lawyer, so she hastily added, "That is—
er—to be a good lawyer."—Youth's Companion.

pan building a larger, more pow
erful and swifter battleship' thai
any built or planned for thfe Amer
ican navy, Rear Admiral Badger
of tbe general board, today told th<
house naval committee, explaininj
the board's recommendation foj
larger ships in time 1918 program
The Japanese sh'ip, he paid, wil
have a main battery of 12 15-incl
or 16-inch/ guns, against 12 14-incl
on American vessels now buildinj
aiifi eight 16-inch for ship) author
ized last year.
Battleships proposed1 by the gen
erul board, Admiral Badger said
wouli' have 12 16-inch- guns, i
speed of 23 knots and a displace
meu of 40,000 tons. The tenden
cy aoroad, he said, was toward hea
ier, 6tionger, faster ships, and tin
navv must keep abreast of tha
mcvement.
Admiral Badger andl Reai^ Adm,r
al Fletcher, also attached to thi
gerenl board, agreed that speed ii
excess c* 23 knots was-not de
s'raMe atthis time, as it wouh
increase the siz© of the ships witl
out giving any substantial added a<
vantage.
Members of the committee ques
tioned the two admirals; as to th<
valuci of heavy armor for battle
sHoa in the light of naval engage
meu(ts of the present war. The of
ficers agreed that an armoTed shij
had the best chance to survive
and pointed1 out that the BTitisl
battleship Wargpita had faced th
fire of the German fleet in th
J u land fight without being sen
to the bottom as were lighter at
idc red ships.

THEY SAW THE DOCTOR.
And After the Interesting Visit the
Physician Also Saw.
f A Chicago specialist got. on a certain
morning, the card of one of the rich
est of our western millionaires. He
went down Instantly and found a well
dressed man, who said:
"I am here, §ir, ou a delicate and
> painful matter. My wife Is a victim
of kleptomania, nnd. knowing your
I skill in mental diseases, I have brought
her on for treatment under you."
' "Bring the lady to see me tomorrow
" moruiug," said the physician.
' "It will lie best uot to bring her to
• your oflicc." faltered the millionaire,
i "The sight of other patients might ex
! cite ber. I suggest"— *
: 'Til receive her in my drawing room.
t Will that be better'/" asked the physl
, clan.
"Oh, irnn h better!" said the other In
, a relieved tone.
And the next day the western mil
' Uonaire led Into the physician's draw
1 Ing room a young woman of singular
1 beauty. She was magnificently dress
. ed, but her eyes were furtive and rest
; less, and when she thought no one
[ was looking at her she secreted under
her coat three or four very valuable
ornaments. The physician and west
i eruer smiled slightly at one another.
The physician, after his examination
' of the patieut. told the husband to re
1 turn next day alone.
"And when I come," the husband
, answered, "I'll bring back these things
that she has taken."
"Do," said the physician.
"I will," said the westerner.
But he didn't and he won't.—Mlnne

Crocodiles and Alligators.
The true crocodiles arc distinct from
the alligators. Among the points of
distinction the following are the most
noticeable: In the crocodiles the so
called canine tooth, the fourth count
ing from the front, flts into a notch in
the side of the upper jaw and is there
fore visible when the mouth is closed,
while in the alligator it is received In
a pit in the upper jaw and is therefore
Invisible or nearly so. Again, In the
crocodile the hind legs have a fringe
of fattened scales which is wanting In
the alligators, whose legs are round.—
London Saturday Review.
Versatile.
"Do you know," she simpered, "you

"Now you're talkin', kid," he broke
in. "I just eat that Shnkespeare stuff
■ alive. Why, I played In Shakespeare's
i 'East Lynne' for two whole seasons.
and part of the time I played a born

An Unimportant Detail.
"The teacher says I will soon speak
French as well as I speak English.''

"But you mispronounce so many
words."

j a lot of Kngllsh words too."—Wash

1 Snake Root.
Snake charmers take snake root and
■ put it Into an earthenware pot with a
i snake, and he,soon becomes stupefied
. and seems totpld and too weak to fight
or bite. They put the snake under the
influence of the root before pulling his
fangs.
; Beware of Ointments for
