Sorry He Didn't Go.

"You should have gone with me to hear
the Persian Garden dear" chirped Mrs.
Bird, when she found her husband still
at home the night of that concert, and he
looked as if he had smoked too many
strong cigars in her absence.
'Humph! I've sworn off from Persian
and Egyptian and all sorts of gardens
since the Midway closed"
But this would have interested you"
she asserted. 1T was oriental in Senti-
ment and music and so poetic Omar
khayyam must have written it to please
some mems club. Didn't you ever hear
the titles of some of the songs and reel
tations?'
No; what were they?" he asked with
some show of languid interest.
Il cant remember but two," replied
his wife musingly. "One was The
Earthly Drinks MeE Set Their Hearts
Upon, and the other was The Bruised
Mint That from Our Cups We Throw. -"
What's that? Can't we so tomorrow
night"
No, indeed. sir. This was one night
only. Your chance is gone until next
winter. Omaha World Herald.

Ants get in their work of destruction

The sheep suffer from the heat in the

practically no risk 10 the health of the
sheep to shear them on q fine day in
