A story is going the rounds of little
woman who was seated behind a gor-
geously dressed beauty at tLcater in the
metropolis whose balloon sleeves cons
pletely hid The stage from the victim in
The rear. She sat on first one foot, then
the other. but in vain; no glimpse O. the
play could She get. After whispered
conversation with her husband came the
tragedy Without word of warning
that wco woman quietly rose, gently but
firmly laid ler hands upon tho winged
shoulders of her obtrusive neishbor and
pressed her green and red ruffles as far
down as they would go. People who
saw the operation gasped at the trans
formation. The victim wisely accepted
the situation and remained in subjuga-
ton until the "Trodigal Daughter" ig-
ANONYMOUSLY returned to the fatted calf.

Fowling Is now very little practlced in
the Shetland islands, although many
eggs are secured annually. Many thrill
ing stories of fowling adventure are told
by the Shetlauders. A man who had un,
dertahen to climb n certain steep cliff
was neither very experienced nor very
brave, although he boasted of being
both. Flo pushed upward, however
brislily without looking behind until he
had got UP about $50 feet, when Ii,
stopped to breathe. The pause was fata
to his self possession, and he called on
in tones Of terror. Men, men. am 60

shrieked many times Il am going" tina
he did fall headlong.
His comrades. having thus been warn

that the poor fellow came sheer dow
into the deep water. Mighty WAS til

face, when of course tie was Instant,
caught hold of and dragged into tn
boat. After many gasps and much splrt

Rare Books. Not Old Ones, Are Valuable.
Age only gives value to comparatively
few books. Hundreds OF volumes print
ed in the seventeenth century are to be
had at our secondhand shops at prices
ranging from 10 to 25 cents apiece, and the
average vellum Of 800 years ago is worth
80 per cent less in the market today than
is one Of Hawthorne's or of Whittier's
cunning little first editions printed be-
tween 1888 and 1919. Going over an
English catalogue few days ago, we
made note of the prices Of items bear
ing dates from 1890 to 1910 and found
that tho 10 volumes offered for sale
could be had for $500, about IS cents
apiece. Not long ago, hero in Chicago,

though they may DO very sincere in

The sermons, what Few are preached,

be. on the part OF the few who take a
fiecided interest. is to go into a prayer
meeting, which Is often kept up until

the solid pavilion floor seem to come
together in wonderful harmony. some
