Old Mrs. Norton is training the morn
ing glories out on the front porch. A
white and black cat walks lazily up
from the garden and stretches itself
at full length in sunny spot, near the
rerbena bed. In the maple tree at the
end of the lane red bird is whistling.
And there comes Jennie up the smooth
road on a wheel.
Morning, Mrs. Norton"
Good morning." and the old lady
looks over her spectacles to see who
1T is.
Around the circular paths at the foot
of the garden, past the verbena bed,
just nipping the cats tail, causing the
cat to seek refuge in the miniature for
est of horseradish, sharp, rasping
sound, gritty and grinding on the gravel
walk-then a crash as the front wheel
knocks over and demolishes a flower
pot, and Jennie alights, gracefully and
smiling sweetly, right at Mrs. Norton
feet.
My sakes alive, child!" she ejacu-
iates. "There goes my calla-lily. Been
nursing that all winter-just was get
ting in fine shape-now there it is
ruined. Clipped the top right off it.
o, dear, it was such rare specimen,
TOO"
The apple-like cheeks of Jennie get
a little deeper tinge of red in them. She
begins:
I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Norton. I'm
so awkward, and have the worst
luck"
''Well, never mind, dear; say no more
about it. l can start another one"
''Why, Papa, that's perfectly absurd"
~"Not bit of it. A mere matter of
business, dear"
Il know, but he's fifty years old if
he's a day, and-O, my! so homely.

Miss Susan Wymar, teacher in the Rich
mond school, Chicago, ILL.,, writes the follow
ing letter regarding Pe-ru-na. She says:
"Only those who have suffered as 1 have,
can know what blessing it is to be able to
experience. a friend in need is friend in
deed, and every bottle of Pe-ru-na l ever
bought proved good friend to me."-Susan
Wymar.
Mrs. Margaretha Dauben, 1914 North SUI

All the IDOLS FnuIt.

The recent East Indian famine has
had some comic features. In Aurunga-
bad the priests were paid to pray for
rain and did so, day after day, but the
rain failed to appear, though very cost
ly professions were organized. AT last
the people became angry, threw the
gods into the rubbish heaps and blocked
up the entrances to the temples with
masses of thorns, as a penalty for keep
ing the fields dry. It's just as well for
a Hindoo god to attend to business ii

Why, Papa, I'm actually ashamed to be
seen with him on the street; and they
say, Papa, he's regular old bear-O
so cross; and, o, Papa, 1 know you
wouldn't want me toto marry
there!-that old thing!"
A pair of soft arms around an old
nan's neck. A velvety cheek pressed
against a bearded face. The minis are
not made that can coin the money in
exchange for this.
But, listen to reason, daughter. He's
not so bad. A very honorable, high
minded man. A little austere, to be
sure, but good heart. Then, BESIDES
Jennie, it's just like this: The will pro-
vides that Wyckoff must marry a Biz
mingham. Now, you are the only
Wyckoff there is, and he is the only
Birmingham. My dear child, it would
be simply madness to see that big for
tune go out of the family"
"But, Papa"
81 know, know-eighteen and fifty
there's quite difference, but one mil
lion dollars is very large sum OF

Eighteen and fifty! o, Papa!-

Cannot live together;
Youth like summer morn,
Age like winter weather;
"All very pretty, but very unbusiness-
like"

Sometimes a very serious business
edear. Cupid and the wolf are sorry
companions"
'But how about Beauty and the
Beast?"
''Or set the dog catcher on him."
Then there's laugh, light and joy
Ous, and, as Jennie turns to leave the
library, her dress brushes against a
Turkish smoking set and swishes it of
the table. There's a crack like the pop
of toy pistol and the carpet is strewn
with thousand pieces of choice brio
a-brac.
80, Jennie, Jennie, that was gem"
80, Papa, did you ever see such luck
What shall l do?"
''Never mind, daughter; that's all
right"
1t looks for a minute as if the tears
can't be kept back, but few tender words
bring out q sunshine of smiles again.
''Bless her heart, but that smoking
set was worth fifty if it was worth 6
cent. L am afraid there's going to be
trouble about that Birmingham affair
Poor child; she's broken almost every.
thing in the house, and now am afraid
she's going to break her old father"
Sometimes Jennie INDUCES in mono
fogues with herself.
''Now there's Mr.. Birmingham stand
ing at his gate. I'm going to pretend
to not see him and ride right by"
''Good morning, Miss Wyckoff."
There's a hiss-hiss and a seepine
sound.
There! I've got puncture! If thai
isn't just my luck, and at his very gate.
''Hum; good morning, Miss Wyckof.'
'Why, why; good morning, sir"
Broken your wheel?"
S'Why, yes, sir; have puncture."
