Hard on Cambridge.

This is a short story that Cambridge
people may not find exactly humorous.
It is told, however, concerning bright
youngster who lived among them for his
nine short summers, and by reason of
the cultured atmosphere he breathed
and the experimental systems he was
brought up on ought either to have
been dead or one of their own. But he
defied both these fates and in due course
received his reward by moving into Bos-
ton. Here he at once found congenial
companions and no doubt began to
contract those unfortunate habits of
speech that indirectly led to this tale
One day his papa heard him using Ian
guage that no nice little boy, especially

know the meaning of.

pleased"

youngster defantly, "then l guess he

Perplcxity of a Polite Man Who Lost
His Equilibrium in Street Car.
l took them for a newly married cou-
pie. Certainly if she had been married
very long she would have known bet
ter.
They got on south bound Clark
street car at Goethe street. She was
slender and graceful, and had large
fetching dark eyes. He was extremely
polite. He helped her on the car very
tenderly, and after riding two blocks he
jumped up the instant very feshy old
lady entered the car and offered her his
seat, with low bow-a sure indication
that he was just married and doing it
for effect.
Then he hung on strap and bent
down and kept up the conversation,
which seemed largely made up of irrele-
want remarks and highly relevant
glances. Presently he discovered that
he could stoop lower if he let go the
strap.
He had just availed himself of this
discovery when the train swooped around
the curve at Illinois street. He flung up
his arms, made one frantic, Intellectual
grab for the strap, swayed gracefully
half around, and sprawled out over the
fat old lady's lap as the car stopped.
His pink and white cheeks turned scar
lei. He scrambled half way to his feet
and began, 81 beg"-
Just as he was in the act of re-estab-
fishing his equilibrium and simultane-
ously uttering the apology, the car gave
the sharp jerk and quick, strong pull of
starting. He clutched the incorporeal
air and went down with the words on
his ips-fat, full length on the beastly,
muddy floor. 1t was too bad, but every
body laughed.
Yes, she laughed. She put her slim,
black gloved hand, with film of SCENT
ed handkerchief in it, up to her mouth
and her black eyes danced at him.
He got up, scowled very darkly at the
gentleman who had said "Whoop-e-e!"
as he went down, and washed patch of
mud off his coat sleeve. Then he looked
at her laughing eyes. For an instant he
tried to look amused; then he straight
ened his face out severely and went over
and looked out Of the door.
As he started into the tunnel he looked
around. The handkerchief was still at
her mouth and her body swayed slightly
as from repressed emotion. A deep,
straight line came into his forehead
and he stepped little farther away
Half way through the tunnel he looked
around again. The instant she met his
eye she dropped the handkerchief to her
mouth just in time to suppress ripple
of laughter. He went out on the plat
form and banged the door behind him.
At Madison street he opened the door
and stood stiff as a statue until she
walked out. She looked over her shoul-
der into his face as she passed him, but
there was an irrepressible twinkle in her
eyes, and he stepped to the ground after
her without unbending. Chicago News

How the Peach Was Produced.

That the luscious peach has been de-
rived from the hard shelled almond can
no longer be successfully denied. 1t is
said that the peach in its original soil
was virulent poison, and that the Per-
sian warriors brought to Persia some of
the seeds and planted them for the pur-
pose of poisoning the points of their ar
rows SO as to render wounds caused by
them to be fatal, but a change of climate
and soil produced fruit which is not
only luscious, but is esteemed exceeding
ly healthful. Chicago Tribune

La Grippet

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
