An Ingenious Excuse.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer relate,
At that not long ago some young people
out in the country who were to give
ball thought they would be badly dis
appointed because the old man who
had fiddled for all their balls as far
back as they could remember suddenly
lost his wife. She died the very day
before the dance was to come off. and
the funeral was TO take place the day
after, so, of course, they gave him up
and tried TO make the best of things
without him. Imagine, then, their
amazement when the time for the ball
came to see him come marching in Just
as usual, fiddle and all, and take his
seat in the old accustomed place. They
were delighted, and yet little shocked,
too, and one of the young men went up
to ask him the explanation. "Wall, ye
see" drawled the old man, as he
twanged his fiddle into tune, "ye see
didn't like t miss tn dance, an then
it amt so much, cause arter all the OF
lady warn't no blood relation, ye know"

"Now, children" said New Yorl
kindergarten teacher, calmly when shs
scented the tell-tale smoke and heard
the machines" rafting below, 1.-THE
fire engines are In the street and you
may all go down and see them If you dc
so quietly and return SOON" Then she
had the tots march out in perfect or.
der, singing Hail, Columbia" The fire,
as 1t happened didn't amount to much,
but presence of mind of the level-head-
ed teacher saved a stampede Of 700
youngsters. And then, womanlike, the
brave girl broke down and had a good
cry.

An inventor has hit upon a method
of putting stone soles on boots and
shoes. He mixes waterproof glue
with a suitable quantity Of clean quartz
sand and spreads it over the leather
sole Yo.d as foundation. These quartz
e5ies are said to be very flexible and
practically indestructible, and to give
the foot a firm hold even on the most
slippery surface.
