Don't be Stingy.


A man in Iowa who was too stincy
to subscribe for his local paper, sent
his yonng boy to a neighbours to bor-
row one. AS the boy was returning
home he fell down and broke his leg.
His father heard his cries and went
to get him, but slipped and fell ON the
ice dislocatiig his knee and tearing
the bose IN Of his $40 pantaloons. His
wife ran out to his assistance, leaving
II 2 year-old babe on the floor. The
babe crawled out the door and fell
down the we'll, and willie the mother
was fishing the child out the house
caught on fire and WAS totally de-
stroyed. Moral: 1t never pays TO bor-
row paper. Only $3.50 ii year. Sub
scribe today.-Masouic Review. o..

A FUNNY situation has developed


A FUNNY situation has Developed
itself in Porto Rico. The people of
that island are citizens Of no nation,
practically jewellers in No Mans Land.
The explanation is simple as falling
off log. When Spain signed the
peace protocol she lost all control of
Porto Rico on its people. Now the
bureau of the United States which
issues passports to its citizens to
travel in foreign countries refuses to
issue such papers to Senior Adolfo
Vendnell, of Porto Rico, on the ground
that he is not citizen of the United
States, and that the people of the
island can only become so by special
act of Congress. There is something
radically wrong here, and our govern
ment had better get its expansion
machinery in working order before it
expands some more.

fly out Of the kettle and he burned and
crusty on the edges, since, like crabs

of love, neatness and cheerfulness.

husbands do,this until they are quite
DONE. Add a little sweetness in the
form. of kisses, but beware of mixing
vinegar or pepper: A modes ate amount
of spice improves them but it must be
used with good Judgment. Do mot
stick sharp instruments into him to
see'if he is becoming tender. Stir him
gently, watching the while lest he lie
too flat and close to the kettle so as
to become useless. You cannot fail to
