LOOK THE OTHER WAY.

Half the papers you pick up nowadays have
appeals to authorities of one sort another
to protect society from the small boy who per-
sists in "going in swimming" without clothes
on Society of course ought to be protected,
but on the other hand the boys ought to swim.
1t is their nature to do so. 1t is odd that it
never occurs to society to look the other way
when the boys are about to swim. That would
protect society, the boys, the authorities and the
newspapers. 1t seems like an easy thing to do,
but its practice-or part of t-tndS it very hard
to do-in fact, quite impossible. And society has
been like that for at least hundred years 1t
was little longer ago than that a solid Pennsyl-
vania Dutchman came into the presence of the
commander of the British troops, then occupying
Philadelphia. and complained that the soldiers
had a habit of going to swim within sight of his
house. to the great annoyance of his daughters.
The general promised to look into it. The officer
sent to examine. reported that the swimming
place was so far from the house that the men
could not be seen. SO they were allowed to con-
tinue The Dutch father came again to complain,
and when told of the officers report, replied "Ah
but those girls have got spyglass." Let the boys
get health and fun in the water, and let society
focus its spyglass in some other direction

HE OBEYED ORDERS,

Frederick II, King of Prussia, used to rise
early, and he gave strict orders to attendants
never to allow him to sleep longer than four
o'clock in the morning, and to pay no attention
to his unwillingness to rise. One morning, at
the appointed time, the page whose duty it was
to attend him, and who had been long in his
service, came to his bed and woke him.
Let me sleep but little longer said the
monarch u am still much fatigued."
Your Majesty has given positive orders that l
should wake you early" replied the page.
But another quarter of an hour"

AN ANCIENT LEGEND,

One of the most beautiful legends of ancient
times is told as happening on the site of Solo
mons Temple, the memory of which hallOwed
scene was remembered when the temple was
decided upon, and which caused it to be built
thereon. The story goes that the land was owned
and occupied by two brothers. one of whom had
a family, and the other had none-the very spot
on which the temple was afterwards built being
sown with wheat On the evening succeeding
the harvest, the wheat having been gathered into
separate shocks the elder brother said to his wife
MY younger brother is unable to bear the bur
den and the hast of the day: will arise take of
my shocks, and place with his without his knowl-
edge The younger brother being actuated by
the same benevolent motives. said within him
self NY elder brother has family and | have
none: | will arise, take of my shocks, and place
with his without his knowledge Judge their
mutual aStOnishment, when, on the following
morning, they found their respective shocks un-
diminished. This course of events transpired for
several nights, when each resolved in his
mind to stand guard and solve the mystery.
They did So when, on the following night, they
met each other half way between their respective
fields with their arms full. Alas! how many now
aday would more likely be caught stealing their
brothers entire shocks than adding to it a single
sheaf!

IN A HAMMOCK,

give been fool" growled Harper, he un-
tied parcel in his front yard, and shook out a
new hammock Here I've been looping around
all through this internal hot spell, when might
as well have been swinging in hammock, and
had nv blistered bark cooled off by the breezes" :"
Anyone can put up hammock. All you've
cot to do is to unite about five hundred snars,
and work over the thing until you can't tell
whether the open side was meant to 90 up or
down This puzzled Harper for full twenty min
utes but he finally got it right, and fastened
the ends to two convenient trees.
Then he took off his hat and coat, and rolled
in with great sigh of relief. No, he didn't quite
roll in He was all ready to- when the hammock
walked away from him, and he rolled over the
grass and came to stop with croquet ball under
the small of his back.
Did you mean to do that 2" called a boy who
was looking over the fence, and slowly chewing
away on green apples.
Did 1? OF course | did, Get down off that
fence or I'll call policeman"
The boy slid down, and Harper brought up
lawn chair for thenext move. It's the easiest thing
in the world to drop off chair into a hammock
Lots of men would be willing to do it on a salary
OF ten dollars per week. ne trouble WIN flar-
per was that he didn't drop all his body at once
The upper half got into the hammock all right
but the lower half kicked and thrashed around
on the grass until the small boy, who didn't mean
to leave the neighborhOod until the show was out
felt called upon to eXclam: . You can't turn a
handspring with your head all wound up in that
net, and I'll bet money on it"
Harper suddenly rested from his labors to rise
up and shake his fist at the young villain, but
that didn't help the case bit. He hadn't got
into that hammock yet. He carefally looked the
case over, and decided that he had his plans too
high. He felt around to see if he was all in, and
then gave himself a swing No person can be
happy in hammock, unless the hammock has
a pendulous motion. This hammock of Harper
was getting the regular salt water swing when
his knots united, and he came down on the broad
of his back with such jar that the small boy felt
called upon to observe:
That amt no way to level a lawn you want
to use regular roller"
After the victim had recovered cOnciOusneSs.
he crawled out, gently rubbed his back on an
apple tree, and slowly disappeared around the
corner of the house, in search Of some weapon
which would annihilate the hammock at
sweep and though the boy called to him again
and again asking if minstrel performance was
to follow the regular show, Mr.. Harper never
turned his head nor made sign.-Erchange.

For THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
LOVE AND CUPID,

Once on tme-for the story goes
As Love, sweet maid, lay sleeping i'll her bow'r,
Young Cupid, little dreaming of the woes
To sure succeed from that unlucky hour,
Came through the greenwood, and, with bow in hand
Beside the sleeping maiden took his stand.
Short time he gazed upon her beauteous form
Ere yet he bent him down to pluck a kiss
From cheeks, rich tinted with the life blood warm.
And pouting lips. He knelt moments bliss,
And then alas Love bounded to her feet
While on his lips yet dwelt the nectar sweet
In her alright she seized his bow and dart
And. rs he turned to flee, the cruel steel
Launched, with most deadly aim, full at his heart;
But ere he could the cruel wounding feel
She clasped him in her arms. The weapon, pres't
BY keen remorse, she forced into her breast.
And thus il is that we so often see
The self-same arrow pierce two tender hearts
Which. stricken sore, submit to Fate's decree,
And mutual share the pain each wound imparts;
Nor do they either wit or wisdom gain,
But dream one moments bliss worth all the pain

leave of each other at the gate on mild evening ?
This is how they do it: "Good-by!" "Good-by
Come down and see us soon" Il will. Good

"No, | won't. Don't you forget to come up"

you next time" Il will. I'd have brought her
up this time, but she wasn't very we'll She
wanted to come awfully." Did she, now? That
was too bad! Be sure and bring her next time"
Il will; and you be sure and bring the baby"
Il will. | forgot to tell you that he cut another

now?" "Five. 1t makes him awful cross" Il

by. Don't forget to come down" "No, l won't

CURIOUS FIGHT,

One of the most extraordinary duels ever fought
took place in 1905 between two Frenchmen. OF
course the quarrel arose about a lady, a certain
Mile. Tirevit, who it appears, could not decide
which man she preferred and with some vague
idea, apparently, of reviving ancient custom she
agreed to marry whichever worsted the other.
The ardent lovers postponed their combat for a
month, that they might feel quite COOL and
then agreed to fight in the air! Two balloons

wind was moderate, the balloons rose half a mile,
and then the preconcerted signal was given. One
of the gentlemen missed his aim the other sent
ball through the rival balloon, which instantly col
lapsed the car descended with frightful rapidity,

ground and killed, and we to suppose that the
