would not be an impertinence. On borrowing
book state when it will be returned, and return
it person who has books worth lending
makes use of them at times and retaining them
beyond the time agreed upon Is as much to be
reprehended as allowing note to 20 to protest

Importance than knowledge, and vastly more

times happens that the generous reader of a vol
ume which has given peculiar pleasure will be
reminded of some friend of kindred tastes, and
Will actually take the trouble to carry the book
to that friend in the impulse of sharing the
pleasure. The G0mmOnest regard for social pro-
prieties will prompt the return of that book in d
day or two, or at faIthest IN week, with only q
eursory reading, If need be, unless q special re-
quest be made that it should be retained longer.
The reasonableness Of this suggestion is obvious.

When 'the golden orb of day sinks slowly

He knows his mothers arms are waiting to

The Fan ana the Bad BOY.


It was nothing but plain palm2leaf fan 1t

had q lonesome look, as If longing to be swung
through the hot summer air Presently
portly gentleman, with his vest unbuttoned
his necktie disarranged, his hat set back and
his mouth well open, tripped up the path He
stretched his arms wiped off the perspiration,
He grabbed the fan and swooped it in the air
peated it; repeated it again; repeated it twice
more, and thrice more again. Then he gazed
at the fan, dropped it, scowled at his hands,
and with steady stride made for the pump,
muttering curses with each breath. Next
came q sleekly dressed swell He was tanning
with his hat He saw the fan. Lucky, by
JoyeW he said, as he sat down on the bench. He
grabbed the paim-leaf He dropped it. He
sneezed. He looked at his hand, and straight
way made for the pump. The park was now be-
coming fun OF people. A portly young lady in

just look, there's q big fan, too They sat
down She picked up the fan and shook it ID
her face. A look of sorrow came into her eyes
and a sneeze into her nose. The young man in
brown snatched it. He also dropped it. Then
the two showed each other their hands. They
took out their handkerchiefs and began wiping.
Presently they left the seat Then two small
boys crept from behind near clump of trees,
they grinning portentously. They saw the fan.
One Of them took it by the top and moved of.

How do they live IN winter1
''Toads crawl into crack in the earth or bury
themselves in mud. There are numerous stories
about the length Of time they can live without
food or air Mr. Buckiandis experiments showed
that they could live two years, so that We must
conclude that the legends of the discovery in the
bowels of the earth of toads that possibly lived
before Noah, are misleading. They certainly
get modicum Of air in their hiding place.
There is no trustworthy account of live geolOgi-
cal toad There are toads found in stones. but
they are merely housed up In solid coat of sun
baked clay, which, on the exterior, seems as
hard as stone. but which. in all probability
contains some fissure invisible to the naked eye,
through which 1T gets air and drink.
The toad Is occasionally found concealed in
knot of tree, where it has been incased In bark;
but here too it is not wholly locked up from air.
1t has the power of contracting its body and
swelling it to twice its natural size 1t certainly
can live in a greater state of torpidity than
almost any other animal, and being born tad

Yes curiously enough, it has a cry that
sounds like an infant screaming under pillow.

THE BOYS ON OUR STREET.

Written for the Indianapolis journal
Perhaps they are just like the boys on every
other street but if they are not indigenous, at
least they have an indixiduaIity There is some
thing so irresistibly contagious in their idio-
ssyncrasies that every other boy who moves on
this street from another part of town straight
way loses all traces Of his foreign extraction,
and becomes Highlander with new views Of
citizenship and a new lease on life.
