But not a word could she get out Of
the professor beyond "Um" and "Ah."
He was plainly very much bored, and
edged away after whfe. Mrs. Shrup
was in despair.
Presently MIS-. Marlborough CTesus
got her into a corner, and said:
"Why, what in the world do you
mean by talking forever to Prof.
Won Dunkelheim about c1ws and
creameries and that r. of thing ?"
Isn't that his specially? Didn't
you tell me SOP"
"Why, never in the world"
"Wh1t is it, then, for Heavens

"Buddhs, OF course. He's written
any number OF books about B1ddh-
ism" df
There is marked GOODNESS now be-
tween Mrs. Sharpe aud Mrs. Marlbor-

Miss Evalina was at Washington
last spring when the Sioux deIegauon
came on to in erview the Gr;at Father,
and was in the 9a'l,ry of the Senate
when the Indiane, scaDtily clad and
brilliant as to their bodies in all sorts
Of colors, filed in. There was one with
a bright red body, dashed rather nest
ly-not gaudily-with dark green;
and another had vermilion neck,
while one am was yellow and the
other black.
Miss Evalina contemplated them a
long time with wondering interest.
Are Indians supposed to be like
that?" she finally asked her ohaperone.
Generally, my dear"
81 don't believe word OF it. They're
painted"
Miss Evalina is in a state of mind
about remark made her the other
day by stout fema e friend, to whom
che had ventured to say that she, Miss
Evelina, wore No shoes.
"No. 2s, my dear2 That's very
nice. Do you know wear IS on week
dave, but on Sundays wear Ais"
How she can get A shoes on No. 6
foot, even for Sunday, is perplexiDg
toe unfortunate Eyelina TO such an
extent that her friends fear her mind
would DO afec ;ed--if there was any
thing to affect.
Boston d ummers who 60 down to
Providence nowadays have to fiud
some wsy to amuse themselves, and,
as the iIs .yirat!on of the bar is now
lacking, they employ their time at the
hotel in putting up practical jokes on
one another.
The other day two of the PATERNITY,
taunteripg out through the back hall
way OF ths hotel toward the kitchen,
came upon three balloon fly traps
stanoiug in a row on table, Drumming
full OF flies. One OF the drummers
took one OF the taps up, whils the in
sects buzzed wildly within.
Remember" said he, "the s'ofy Of
the old woman who saw one of these
full OF flies in window and asked how
much they cost? FIFTY CENTS said
the store keeper. Huh = said the old
woman, Il wouldn't give 80 cents for
all the flies in the world p"
Chestnut" said the other drum
mer. "0h, l say I'll tell you what
we'll do. Did you see Levi up stairs
asleep on the bed, under thu mosquito
netting canopy? Let's take these
things up stairs and empty them
under the mosquito netting"
They carried the plan cut at once.
The third drummer was catching up
his sleep in his room up stairs, snoring
blissiully under his MOI quito netting
The two cautiously crept into the
70 nm with their fly traps, steslthily
lifted the edge of the netting, let loose
every fly within the canopy, and then
hid themselves in the closet with the
door half open to await results.
The buzz of the flies presently rosa
almost 10 a rear aud they began TO
light on the devoted drummer in mgr.
lads. The men in the closet heard
him grooming and threshing around on
the bed. Presently he awoke with
gasp and contemplated the black cloud
OF flies around him.
"Holy MosesW he calculated. SIS
dis Rhote Island or is it Eshypt?"
One of tbs drummers in the closest
could stand it no longer and gave a
snort of laughter. Levi leaped out OF
bed, and tbs two drummers took to
fight.
A very Juvenile story about boy

Every evening he repeated his "Now

saying "Amen" at the end, upon rem
dering it with two letters of The alpha

of thoughtful pleas antry, he said;
::0h no, no A. NJ $. NJ" And the
next night he omitted all attempt at
the "amen" altogether
"Why don't you say amen, Willie"
his mother asked.
"Ob," said he, 81 don't like that A BIC
business on 9 end Of my prayerW
