They Worked Together.

I'm after them and I'll get them yet"
growled the big man on the ferryboat,
according to the Detroit Free Press.
They hunt in pairs and know them on
sight. When I'm buncoed it's safe to bet
that I'll never rest till 1 get even
"Aong came the first fellow and gave
me strong story about his having to do
something or starve. He was used to
washing boats and could make my house
look as good as new. More out of chart
ty than for any other reason 1 gave him
the job. He stopped around as free as a
whale at play, spattered all the windows,
dirtied the houses on either side and
managed TO sprinkle nearly every passer-
by. But what ] pitched into him about
was scratching the weather boarding and
grinding his heels into the floor of the
Veranda. 1t was plain to me that nothing
but a fresh coat Of paint would repair the
damages.
Next morning when 1 looked out there
was a man in front studying the defaced
property, even crossing the lawn to exam
inc it more closely. He turned out to be
a painter in search of work, and I let
the contract then and there. When 1
went home that evening / saw my boat
washer working on another house in the
same block. making it look as though he
was currying ii. / didn't pay any atten-
tion to him. but gave him the bad eye and
went on. Two days later the man that
painted my house was painting this one.
Then l had a suspicion and watched the
precious pair. l found that they were
partners. One goes ahead scrapplng paint
off houses and the other follows up to put
on fresh.
Il guess they must have discovered that
I'm after them, for they're not working
along my route any more. But III find
'em, I'll charge EN- with conspiracy and
I'll have 'em sent up for life"

Told by a Mountain Preacher.

A preacher Of this section. since de-
ceased. used to tell the following. says
the Hazel Green Herald. He said he was
in Letcher county preaching, on one occa-
sion, when he stopped at n farmhouse
to get his dinner While eating the lady
Of the house inquired his business. and
he replied: Il am hunting the lost sheep
OF Israel"
She left the room, and IN a few minutes
returned with her husband, when she said

and I'll bet that old long wool ram that 8
been around here Is his'n"

Christ died"

Put Her Trust in DandeIions.

Don't you think dandelions are love-
ly?" exclaimed an art student dashing
into the club with a big bunch of the yell
low blossoms. The rising musician sniff
ed, according to the Chicago Times-Her-
aid:
mo, don't" she returned, shortly, and
the other girls insisted upon hearing the
story behind her emphatic negative.
We'll, I'll tell YOU" said the music girl
Those perfectly lovely flowers gave me
the worst humiliation 1 ever had In my
life, only last week. Listen to what hap
pened to me, and if any girl here dares to
smile I'll never speak to her again.
You know that my new hat was spoiled
in that rainstorm last week, didn't you?
Well, papa wouldn't give me money for a
new one. and I'd spent all my allowance,
so when Charley Broomfeld insisted ON
taking me TO the theater 1 was in per-
feet stew for a hat Well, who should
come along but Alice Ailing. She Just
laughed at my trouble. l never saw such
girl for eXpedients. Take the ribbon off
your new hat and make little opera bon
net of It, she suggested, and so did. But
it seemed to want knot of flowers in
front, and hadn't penny I was ready
to cry when something occurred to me.
thought it an inspiration then; now
firmly believe it was a communication
from Satan. 1t was to use natural flow
ers, and those flowers dandelons. You
see they stared right up at me from the
lawn, and my ribbon had yellow stripes
in it, anyway, So 5ust before I started
out, I pinned them on, and they looked
lovely. But, oh. girls, when 1 got down
town they had wilted,- and 1 never knew
it until l went to powder my nose be-
tween the acts. There they were, looking
a perfect sight and every woman near
just dying with laughter"
1t was too much for the girls who heard
the story, and in spite of the threat that
the musician would never speak to them
again if they even smiled they all laugh
ed immoderately.

A Uniform Language.

The needs of the commercial and dip
lomatic world for a general uniform
language were emphasized to some ex-
tent few years ago by the invention
of the so-called Volapuk, the putting
forth Of which was signalized shortly
afterwards by its failure to attract any
marked attention for several reasons, the
principal of which was, no doubt, the
great difficulty of propagating a form of
thought expression entirely new in its
character, without a literature, and
which would have been of little value
unless generally known and understood.
Discussion has turned again upon the
subject of a general uniform language
among civilized nations, and 1t is ad-
mltted at the outset that such Ian
guage must be one with a strong national
character, a living language with an
abundant literature. Havelock Ellis, a
late English writer, has advanced the
theory, a singular theory for an English
man. that the French language will prob
ably triumph over all others. and he
bases his belief almost wholly upon his
own statement of what he calls 'its
growing adoption as the common language
of the continent of Europe"
The well known French statistician and
criminologist. NJ. Bertillon, strange to
say, takes an opposite view to that given
by Mr.. Ellis. and publishes statistics to
show that both English aud German are
in far wider use than French. Taking a
book on the same subject and Of equal
universal interest to the public in the
three languages the number OF readers
he says would be about as follows: Mum
Der Of readers in English. 1l5.OOOOOO. in
German. @OOoOoo; in French, 100000
An estimate made of the English speak
ing people puts the number at 100000.
OF whom 100000 are in Europe.
and 100000 in America. The col
onization of various countries by
the English people has been re-
sponsible for the propagation OF the
English language in all parts Of the
world, and whatever the language OF the
people among whom the colonies are
founded, English has become the Ian
guage Of trade and commerce. The
United States has played and Is sim play
ing perhaps the most important part in
this extension Of the English tongue. dur
ing recent years. II is the language OF
the richest, the most abundant, and the
most beautiful literature. a language
worth the learning for other reasons than
because It may become language OF gem
erai correspondence. There is every
reason why English should and proba o.
bly, viii become the general language OF
the future for trade and diplomatic pur-
poses. In spite Of the fact that French
is now the common tongue among the
| European diplomats.
