SHE SAVED MONEY.

She heard him rummagiug around
in the attic. Then his strident, rau-
cous tones came drifting down the
stairs.
Where in thunderation," he
growled, "is that last summers fedora
shaped straw hat O. mine?"
THE time has come" she murmured
hoarsely to herself. and then she
donned fedora shaped straw hat that
was hidden behind the piano. 1t was
wrapped around with liberty silk, and
1t looked bully on her fluffy hair.
Here it is" she said when she got
to the top of the attic stairs. II

churlish enough to storm and to de-

his pipes.

THE SWIMMING SEASON.

When Willie came home last night
he was more convinced Of the useless
ness of schools than he ever was be-
fore. Asked the nature of his latest
trouble, he explained that postpone"
had been one of the words in the
spelling lesson of the day. The teach
er had directed the pupils to write a
sentence in which the special word
should appear.
Along with others, Willie announced
that he did not know the meaning Of
the word, and SO could not use it in
a sentence. The teacher explained that
it meant delay" or put Off" and
encouraged the youngsters to try. Will

things than school, and his made-to-
order sentence was: Boys postpone

of the market often enough to make
himself comfortable.
Me an Jim started in fur to cor
ner corn. | see piece in the county
paper tellin' how the thing was done,
an | read it to Jim. Jim was the all
f1redest excited man you ever saw,
and calculated that there wasn't nuth-
in anybody else could do that me an
him couldn't do. So we slips round
an bought in all the corn in the coun-
ty, payin' an average of 35 cents a
bushel. We only give out cash where
we had to and the rest got our tint
notes. 1t jest bout filled up Jim's

was all cornered there we sat back and
counted up what we was a goin' to
make.
