mo, sir, l don't Like ladies riding
outside my bus" was the seemingly
ungallant observation which bus
driver made to us the other day.
We got near the box seat and asked
him why. "Well sir" he continued,
II should not mind the ladies-bless
'em riding outside if they would
keep their umbrellas off me. When
ever lady wants to stop the bus,
she always prods me in the back, not
with the dainty, silver topped handle
Of her umbrella, but with the dirty
end of it. Look at this coat. 1t was
new on Bank holiday.
''At the end of the day my wife
counted twonty dirty marks upon the
back, all from umbrellas. It's rather
hard on chap to spend a quid ON a
new coat and then to have it treated
in this wav. In winter of course
just when we put on any sort Of an
old coat, all the ladies want to ride
inside. 1t is only in summer when
the ladies go outside, and then after
dragging their umbrellas over the
streets thew plant the dirty end in
the middle of my back. l like the
summer and the ladies, too, but
shall be glad when the one is over
and the other goes inside. Million.

Figures About NebuIe.

We know of some 5000 nebula
which represent milky ways like
ours. Let us count 1900 of them as
being of the size Of our milky way
(our milky way holds about 20,i91,-
600 stars, then 1000 by 90, 191, 600
equals 40, 1888, 900, 900 suns, or 2,0l9,-
100, 900, 900 heavenly bodies. Suppose
these heavenly bodies parading before
our mental eye one per minute, it
would require 3,S40, 600 years to fin
ish the march, in all of which time
we would have to look upon them
increasingly. Suppose human be-
ing migrating from globe to globe and
spending fifty years on each, he
would require l00, ,955, 900, 600, 000
years for the round. If he staid
only one hour he would save much
time, but still need 230, 900, 600 years
for the task

Il. R.LEABO, Secretary


Chocorua. which can be seen from
the poets home, is a tall mountain
perfectly hare on top and bereft of
all vegetation. There is a native
legend in connection with it, as with
all old Indian localities, that is very
interesting.
Chocorua was the chief of great
tribe who dwelt on the borders of
what Whittier calls "his broad Lake
Ossipee." For years the tribe and
their mighty chief were supreme,
but one day the white man came.
The strange visitors had conquered
all the other Indians, but Chocorua
was bound not to submit For days
and days the battle ragged until the
chief alone was left, and he fled from
the conquerors. The white men fol
lowed him on and on, pressing close
behind, until the chief sped up the
rugged mountain side and left his
enemies below
Then he raised his hands aloft and
prayed to the Great Spirit to grant
his final wish, and he cursed the
mountain ON which he stood, and or
dered nothing to grow upon the sum
NIT while the white man held the
land. Long and hard was his curse
upon the mountain top, and when he
had finished night had come and the
chief leaped into the darkness and
vanished from sight forevermore;
and, runs the legend, from that time
forth the mountain was called Cho-
corua, and the curse of the old In
dian was fulfilled, for today it is bare
and bleak.
Such was the story told one sum-
mer's night beueath the shadow OF
the mountain just as the moon out
lined it against the sky. -Harper's
Young People.
