THERE WAS NO SECOND VERSE.
Mr.. Dash Didn't Know He Was Hearing
the Lords Prayer.

Mr.. Dash Didn't Know He Was Hearing
the Lords Prayer.
The occasion was one of the semi
musical Sunday evenings which we all
knew WELL Mrs. Dash had attended
from genuine love for the hostess, but
young Mr. Herbert Dash, her son, was
there only out of filial respect and an
ardent desire to please his mammal.
The host was a musical devotee, but
made the unfortunate and familiar
mistake of overrating his own voice
and its power to please.
Young Mr.. Dash had done all that the
strictest adherence to good form could
ask. He had listened and he had ap-
plauded until, finally, finding himself
tete-a-tete on the sofa with charming
Miss Blank, he yielded to natural i'm
pulses and listened to the music OF her
voice rather than to that which came
from the piano. In his own mind he
had become convinced that in truth
virtue is it's own reward. His con-
seriousness of duty well done had per-
,aded his very soul. Satisfaction
beamcd from his eyes.
Miss Blanks power of repartee kept
him constantly on the alert. He dearly
loved conversationalist who was
witty in an honest, wholesome way.
In their secluded corner he felt no re-
morse at enjoying the good things
the gods had sent. The group about
the piano was not disturbed and the
semi-confidential attitude consequent
upon the subdued tones lent an addi-
tional charm. All was peaceful as a
summers dream.
Suddenly there was Iull.- The voice
at the piano ceased. Those near by
murmured their applause. Mr.. Dash
looked up, paused moment in his
chat, clapped in the subdued fashion
appropriate to Sunday night and ex-
claimed: Charming! Excellent! My
dear sir, could you not give, us the sec
ond verse;"
Instead of the expected eager re-
Spouse and the consequent renewal of
the music, under cover of which the con-
fidences might also be renewed, silence
fell upon the entire group. Presently
a voice arose:

Silk stockings ought to be dried

these stockings is to make a strong
lather of borax soap and lukewarm wa
ter. Wash the foot of the stocking
thoroughly with the hand. Then lay
the stocking on a board and scrub it
thoroughly with q piece Of white
flannel, rubbing it with the flannel and
lather of soap. If the stockings are
black or dark in color, put a teaspoon
full of OK gall in the lather used to wash
them. When they are washed, rinse
them thoroughly in three waters. Blue

by pinning them wrong side outward
on a sheet before the fire. When they
are half dry turn them, put them on the
ironing blanket and rub them the direc-

by wrapping small piece of hard wood

A fat man carrying gun and lead

could have caught it if he had walked

and old Time commenced having fun
with him. The dog would run on the
wrong side of telegraph poles and

the legs of pedestrians. BY the time
spent in apologizing and untangling
the dog he was delayed until the little
gate closed in his face. Then he ran
around to the big gate, lodged around

boat. The deck hands raised the apron
and the boat moved slowly out, but he
was determined to catch it, and, grip
