How She Frightened Away a Persistent
Tramp.
While woman of New Brunswick
was alone in her house recently, a
tramp knocked insolently at the door
and demanded refreshments.

or there will be some trouble"

thing will stay here all day." and the
hobo coolly sat on the stoop.
The lady got an alarm clock and
wound it up. Then she went into the
front room where her voice could be
heard by the tramp. Causing the
alarm to ring, she shouted:
Hello, central! Give me the police
station, please"
The tramp was all attention. Then
he heard the following counterfeit
conversation:
rs this the police station? Please
send an officer to my house at once.
There is tramp here who refuses to
leave the yard. What? Yes; he ought
to be in prison All right"
The tramp started for the street in
double quick time.-Jewelers' Review.

They walked together under the
stately maples-Virginia De Claire and
Augustus Knickerbocker - and with
every breath of wind the golden leaves
of autumn fell at their feet.

stopped TO pick up a particularly
bright leaf, you know everything,
don't you?"
"Yes. darling : everything worth
knowing" he replied, as he gave her q
tender look.
Then you must know why the leaves
fall in autumn time?"
''Of course"
II have been wondering why they
didn't fall in the spring. Is there any
particular reason why they shouldn't
fall till the first breath of winter is
felt in the chill winds which sway the
branches and rob them of their foil.

"Oh! Augustus, you are so noble To

the sobbing of the breeze, as IL il
grieved and wept at parting leaf from

will stand desolate and forlorn, and
their wind-whipped branches will point
to heaven as if appealing for mercy.
Tell me, Augustus, il it is really and
positively necessary for the leaves Ia
