Cure Too Expensive.

Warts are curious things. They
come and go mysteriously, although
their going is frequently marked by
eAasperating delays, and there are al
most as many infallible cures as there
are warts, the only trouble with these
cures being that they are useless when
applied to the particular wart you hap
pen to have. They are only good for
other peoples.
In my opinion" said clubman,
who was discussing the subject with
friend one day, "a wart is merely the
outward correspondence of some men
tai eNcrescence. Get rid of that, and
it goes away.
Let me give you bit of my own ex-
perience," he continued. Last year I
went to Europe. For about three years
l had had wart on my little finger,
on which had tried everything 1 could

ing for the trip and of the journey it.

and it had no mental condition to feed

II is no new thing to deplore the
friqhtfuI tendency toward gossip in our
generation. Yards and yards of space

inyeighing against it. Sermons have

With about as much effect as the irate
old gentleman had when he mopped

and from time immemorial have been,

That they monopoliZe the talent in

alton simply because it is time-honored.
Nv opinion leads me to think that gen.

about, for Mrs. Blank told me all about
it and although l am not personally
acquainted with them, she is very in
innate in the family"
Wasn't that fierce commentary on
the modern intimacy of womankind?
Would you not enjoy having a long
visiting list of intimate friends of that
kind?
Then a recent tragedy which had
occurred in our midst was talked over,
and this same encyclopedia Of univers-
al knowledge knew just why the ter
ible thing was done. She knew things
no one else could possibly know unless
he could read the heart of the dead.
She reeled to finish finally, and then
airily announced that she would really
have to go, as she had left the children
alone and they ought to be in bed.
She is not a unique specimen of hu-
manity. On the contrary she repre-
sents large, a deplorably large class.
L went one afternoon not long ago to
call upon woman of my acquaintance
whom l had not seen for some time.
She was at home and came down stairs
in fetching house gown and greeted
me effuSively. After We were comfort
ably seated, each with a cup of tea of
fragrant brew, my friend said, Now,
what do you know, Penelope dear?"
Nothing worth repeating. / am as

NONSENSE" she laughed. After all
this while you ought to have some fine,
juicy bits of scandal with which to re-
gale mel
Now this woman is not a natural
gossip; she would not deliberately re-
peat anything which might hurt an
other; and yet so has the leaven
worked that none of us seem quite
averse to a nice, sensational bit. No
one ever seems TO be responsible for
these things. One can never find the
originator. If you attempt to follow
the thread of one of these tales back,
