Jack said-out of Office by that crowd. So
got up and as I did so l turned around
and gave a sort of confidential and APP
pealinc wink to the women back of me,
the ones who had elected me without
knowing It,"
what could you-what did you say?'
demanded Miss De Korus.
"Wen. in the first place / said, 'Ahem!
All public speakers do that. Didn't you
ever notice that? Yes. 1 said: 'Ahem!
Mrs. Chairman'-I'd caught on to that
much,-@while this honor is, as you know
emphasis on the know entirely uneX-
pected and undeserved'-I gave the wo-
er my shoulder-where was L? oh, yes
men back of me another meaning look ov-
'undeserved. 1 would not be guilty of such
a lack of appreciation to decline it.
"Somehcw. the audience began to see
that It was joke, and they liked 1t. You
know those women who are always at the
head of things get TO be so overbearlng
that people get tired of it. and the audi
ence was simply tickled TO death to have
the leaders beaten at their own game. The
v-omenc Tapped and said Bravo" and
Hear! hear"
And what did you do?" asked Miss De
Korus.
"Oh. I bowed to the right and the left
as though I were presidential candidate
United States President, I mean-and
said 'Ahem" again. Mrs. Brown banged
the table some more. She thought I was
going to get out of it some way"
"And how did you?"
''How did 1? I didn't. I'm it, and I
mean to stay in it as long as I want to.
I'll SHOW them how to run club as
they've never seen it run before.
But you don't know anything about
parliamentary practice"
what If l don't. They don't know much
themselves. And I'm their president, any
way, They can't get around that Why,
Jack said last night that / don't even have
to recognize them If I don't want to, and
they won't dare to say a word"
What does Jack think about ito"
ooh. he says I'm great, simply great. He
laughed until Maud came i'm from the kit
chen to see whether he was crazy. I tell
YOU. Nancy. I'm going to create an epoch.
If YOU want to see it come to the meeting
of the Parlie Franks next Tuesday. Mrs.
Van Rubber alone viii be worth the price

THEY WERE CONVINCED.

The Doctor Could Not Sing. But His We
racity Was Just Awful"
Some time ago number of choice apir-
its were enjoying a little supper in GER
tain northern town.
When the cloths had been removed. and
the usual toasts honored some one sug-
gested song. The efforts of the first
gentleman who volunteered to oblige the
company met with such a hearty reception
that others were induced to sing.
In the end. it was discovered that ev-
eryone had contributed TO the evening s
enjoyment, with the exception of the med
ical gentleman who occupied the vice
chair
Come, come DR.. Y" said the chair
man; I'VE cannot allow YOU to escape
The doctor protested that he could not
sing.
"As a matter of fact" he explained, my
voice is altogether unmusical, and resem-
bles the sound caused by the act of rub
birg brick along the panels Of door
The company laughed and attributed this
to the doctors modesty. Good singers, he
was reminded, always needed a lot Of
pressing.
Every well, gentlemen" said the doc
tor, If you can stand it I will sing.
Long before he had finished his audience
was uneasy. The unwilling singer had
faithfully described his voice.
There was painful silence as the doctor
sat down, broken at length by the voice
OF a Draw Scot at the far end of the table:
Man." he exclaimed, your singins no
up to much. but your veracity's just aw-
full Yere RIGHT ABBOTT that brick!"-Tit

Group is a terror to young mothers,

first symptoms and treatment is the OBJ
iect of this item. The origin of Group is
a common cold. Children who are sub
iect TO it take cold very easily and
croup is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this Is
soon followed by peculiar rough
couch. which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who has
heard It. Tie time to act is when the
child is becoming hoarse. If Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is freely given all
tendency to Group will soon disappear.
Even after the eroupy cough has de-
yeloped it will prevent the attack.

edy, for it contains nothing injurious.

THAT AWFUL NOISY BOY.


There's a rattle on the stairway,
There's a drumming on the dOo-
There's tramp like armed thousands
Along the kitchen loor.
There's a shrill and ppiercing whistle
And expostulations drown
In double shuttle juba
BY the noisiest boy in town!
For tbs rattle
And tits battle
'Twixt the silence and the boy,
And it's banging,
And tbs changing,
With overwhelming joy.
And tits. oh, to be as happy
As that awful noisy boy.
It is plugging" over marbles,
In a wild and whooping chase
As they bang against the doorway
And scratch the polished base;
'Tis sending tops a-whirring
To dent the kitchen floor,
And drumminf with the poker
"McGinty DER and Ger
For It's rattle
And tits battle,
'Twixt the silence and the boy,
And it's banging.
And tits changing,
With overwhelming joy
And tits. oh. TO stop the clangof
OF that awful noisy boy.
You can always tell tits morning
The way the rafters shake,
With the rat-a-tat and tumble
OF the boy that's just awake;
You can hear him half the distance,
fancy. toward the moon,
When his shrn and piercing whistle
Is tackling some old tune.
For tbs rattle
And it's battle.
'Twixt the silence and the boy,
And It's changing,
And tits banging,
With Overwhelming JOY,
And 7 shall soon be crazy
with that awful noisy boy!
Yet I tremble lest the silence,
Having now so little chance,
Shall some time come a-weaving
It's awful. lonely trance.
And leave me ever listening
For dancing steps to drown,
The bitter sweet Of longing
For the noisiest boy in town.
Though tbs rattle
And tbs battle.
'Twixt the silence and the boy,
And tbs banging.
And tbs changing,
With overwhelming Joy
Just let me always keep him,
