Trouble with the Boys.

An old veteran of the civil war, Col. Gunson, irascible in his manner but generous at heart, was much annoyed by the boys of the neighborhood, who persisted in climbing upon and run- ming over the fiat roof of his barn, an unpretending structure sloping toward the alley, and easily sealed from the asnbarrel.
 The colonel threatened and scolded, but to no purpose He strung barbed wire along the edge of the barn, but the boys wrapped old clothes around it and climbed over it. He chained a savage dog on the roof, and the boys made friends with the animal and stole it.
 In desperation, he smeared tar all over the roof one day, and the boys were temporarily baked, but before they had decided upon plan for cir cumventing the colonel 1t chanced that a teamster, in driving through the all ley one hot afternoon, lighted his pipe and carelessly threw the match up on the top of the barn, with the result that the roof was ablaze in an in stant.
 The boys happened to be playing in the alley. Quick as flash they sprang to the rescue. With buckets of water brought from a horse trough in the back yard across the alley they clam bered up to the edge of the roof, and fought the flames so successfully that they put them out before the wood had time to catch fire.
 Boys" exclaimed Col. Gunson, who arrived on the scene in time to witness the triumph of the impromptu fire brig ade, and was full of generous enthu- siasm, tomorrow I shall cover what $ left of the tar with sand, strengthen the supports of the roof, and you may play on it all you want to hereafter. You've got the right stuff in you!'
 The colonel was as good as his word but will it be believed?-s is the perversity of boy nature-that after he had turned that roof over to them for playground, not a boy in the neighborhood ever set foot upon it again.

MRS. LowNDEs BUFFERS BREAD
She Is Kept Busy Because of 8 Curious
 Fancy.

Fancy.
 Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, wife of the gov ernor of Maryland, is engaged in the benefcient work of curing whooping cough at Annapolis, says the Baltimore Sun. 1t would be better, perhaps, to state that Mrs. Lowndes is kept busy responding to the appeals of a curious folklore fancy of southern Maryland In the household philosophy of that section it IS grayely stated that if the mother of twin children will butter piece of bread for patient suffering with whooping cough the little one will be speedily relieved upon eating it. Two of Mrs. Lowndes' sons are twins. Whooping cough is now prev alent at Annapolis. These two state- mentr R.va an index to her present troubles. Anxious mothers of late have been appealing to the lady of the executive mansion in season and out of season. No social function is too important to be interrupted by them. The door guardian is constantly bring ing in Macedonian cries for pieces of .buttered bread. Mrs. Lowndes is toe kind-hearted to refuse to respond to this curious superstition, and has used dn this way many pounds of the de- 1icious butter that is brought to the executive mansion from the governors fine farm near Pompey Smash, Alla- gany county.
