“The mutton was brought on as we

DON'T NEED WALKING STICK
Americans Do Not Often Carry It, but
Is a Matter Purely of Per
sonal Choice.
Now that we are reminded of it, we
realize that the great American people
are seldom seen to possess a walking
stick. ‘‘It's a small thing,” writes
an essayist In a morning paper, “the
absence of the walking stick, but it
belongs to the American motto, never,
In the hustle of life, carry unnecessary
cargo.” The idea is, of course, fantas
tic with the fantasy of transpontine
common sense. The hustle of life
surely extends to travel in the case
of a nation which would consider it
self degraded if it spent longer than a
week in a complete Journey through
Europe; and when Americans travel
they are the last to deny themselves
the luxury of an extra bit of luggage
because It happens to be unnecessary.
J.t is common knowledge that they go
un loading the liner trunks until the
company’s officials say “Stop,” if only
to collect so many more steamship
and hotel labels to add to their al
ready bloated store of these trophies.
No. The walking stick is a matter
purely of personal chcAce. Most Amer
icans chance to feel no need for a
walking stick, whereas we do. That
Is how the thing stands. When it
comes to a walking stick the world
must be considered Individually. The
physical weakling Is quite likely to
have a taste for a gigantic club; the
enormously powerful man who snaps
his Sandow developer before break
fast as though it were a piece of cot
ton may select for a walking stick the
thinnest shred of malacca that money
can buy.—London Globe.
Traditions of Mother Shlpton.
Of all British prophets, Mother
Shlpton Is beyond doubt the most cel
ebrated. She was, In fact, all that a
prophet and witch should be, in
strange contrast to the serious and
scientific nostradamus. The day she
was born the sky became dark and
gloomy and, according to her biograph
er, ‘‘belcht out nothing for half an
hour but but flames, thundering after
a most hideous manner.” Her per
sonal appearance, described by her
admiring biographer in 1662, is scarce
ly flattering: “Her physiognomy was
so misshapen that it is altogether im
possible to express fully in words, or
for the most ingenious to line her in
colors, though many persons of emin
ent qualifications In that line have
often attempted it, but without suc
cess.”—Metropolitan Magazine.
Trees of Liberty.
The last of the Trees of Liberty,
several of which were planted in Paris
to commemorate the revolution in
1848, is no more. The little tree,
planted with much ceremony, flour
ished and became one of the tallest in
Paris. Of later years the Tree of
Liberty was only a tree of liberty in
theory, for It was really a prisoner
surrounded by houses, and these year
after year have Increased iA height,
making the struggle of th* */«e the
harder, and death has beeg the con
queror. The roots, howewr, spread
and became a danger to a house of
eight stories, so In Its attempt to rival
the house in height the tree was van
quished and has fallen to the axe of
the tree feller.
