Auniaue Grandmother.

Nothing is true as well as so trite as
that one-half the world doesn't even
grimly suspect what the other half has to
endure. AT a cozy little luncheon on the
South Side the other day, a young matron
leaned towards a very attractive young
woman and remarked: Isabel excuse me,
but do you know you have some spots on
the shoulders Of this lovely pink silk bodice?
You must have been standing too near some
of the candles"
mo / haven't" answered pretty Isabel
twisting her mouth into a much-vexed ex-
preston, lit is just grandma, and 1 can't
help it. We cannot do one thing with her."
Just grandma?" echoed the other woman
Dear child; what do you mean?"
why. grandma has burglars on the brain
and every night before she retires she just
will take a lighted candle and poke il into
every pantry closet and wardrobe in the
house. We get candle spots on the china, on
our books and on our clothing. The boys
suffer from 1t as much as 1 do. and every
gown / own is more or less in this spotted
and ruined condition Isn't it a shame? or
course / cannot have my own grandmother
arrested. What would you do about ity'
And the young matron smiled sympathiz-
ingly. and confessed that the case seemed
hopeless.

Why do they not put them out OF the way

under our care was Gordon setter He
was lost, but we finally found the owner
after some time. We had become very
much attached to the dog. When he came

course, wanted him, and 50 did we, but we
finally made a compromise and ne sold US
the dog. He was a great pet. One day
went to the library and he was under the
buggy. / was not in the building long, and
when came out the dog was dying. He had
been poisoned or had eaten some poison that
had been put out, and he died right there in
a few minutes.
What do we do with so many? We like
to keep all that we can, but some cannot be
kept. so we give them happy time 50 long
as we can and then We chloroform them 1t

by natural gas stove. In summer tie dogs
are shut in the barn all the morning, for
Mr.. Elster must be at his business, and
Mrs. Elster is a teacher in the. public
schools and the son is a pupil. The dogs
sleep until the family comes home at noon,
when they are let out into the yard. They
have their same dog characteristics that they
had before coming in, and they race and
tear about and make wreck Of order with
their bones, sticks, rags or anything else
they have to play with. The cats rule the
place, and when the dogs interfere with the
kittens the old cats give them a whipping.
The best of families DO not live at peace
as two old cats and their respective families
OF kittens do. The mothers brought their
kittens into the world the same day, and
both occupied the same box with them. The
cats have never known just which kittens
belonged to each, and the two families of
some dozen members have kept up CO.
operative plan of raising their offspring ever
since. This plan they have followed for
two years in succession. The cats, too, have
names, and gray cat with four white feet
is Whitefoot; there is Blossom, Queenie.
Lovey, Mottle and Nudge, and cats and cats
that have not been designated by any other
name than kitty.

Her Time of Trial.

Imperturbability under social ordeals Is
supposed to be the final test OF culture. and a
young woman who has just returned from

sat on rude wooden chairs and made our
visit, while the funny little children stood
in dusky clusters round us and eyed US. The
Mexican hostess was well up in all social
features and soon brought out some refresh
ment, and what do you think it was? Cold
stewed pumpkin. The dish was first pre-
scented to Celia, who promptly swallowed a
huge portion; then II came on towards me.
Oh, how I wished I had stayed in Indiana.
How I reproached my parents for not hav-

large spoonful of cold stewed pumpkin
and then we came away"

MERE PLEASANTLY.
Discerning Bobby.

Bobby Shafto, with curling yellow hair,
made friendly visit the other day on a
bookish young lady, whom he much admires.
Disturbing memories of previous visits from
the lively Robby fingered in the mind OF
the hostess. so she prepared to entertain him
in a room remote from the apartment in
which her treasured volumes were collected.
Bobby glanced critically about the little sit
ting room and then asked:
Where do you keep all your books. Miss
Alice?"
Miss Alice answered very stammeringly
that she hadn't so very many books.
Eyes, 1 know continued the relentless
infant, 'but where do you keep 'em when
there isn't anybody 'round?"

I'VE have in our club a vesy bright young
woman, a girl Of unusual mind, who not
only does frst-class work in research and
writing papers. but is a finished and polished
extemporaneous speaker. Personally, have
not had frequent contact with her, and. con-
sequently, was wholly unprepared for the
shock she launched upon me the other after
noon. She sat next to me at a meeting which
was given over to papers on and discussion
of the French revolution. When the histori-
cal climax was reached. and a paper had
just closed with vivid portrayal Of the
riotous and murderous scenes Of the most
dreadful days Of that terrible carnival of
blood. the clever young woman turned to
me- her facet expressing her realistic ap-
probation Of the theme, AMI whispered in a
tone of horror-stricken energy: ''Golly,
