all the world like a meringue. 1t was
not smooth, but all bulges and holes

1t was all right, so we began to climb
it. We were still looking for the boat

find 1t on top the meringue and it
seemed quite likely to me- so I clam

we got to the very top Tom broke
through. As he disappeared. shrieked,

How Hattie was not Humb,ed

"Awntie" was a peach. She was the
sort of person to make some poor mod
ern Caudle lie awake nights for fear
he'd dream about her. She was tall
big-boned, with jaws like steel trap
and a manner to match which forty
nine years of existence has not soft
ened. 'Awntie' never approved of her
brother Johns marriage. She never
approved of his children, nor of the
marriages Of his children, SO when
Hattie, the niece, with the swapping
black eyes and the ready tongue that
was always primed for "awntie," made
bold to marry well and to live hap
PLY with her good-looking husband
''awntie'' decided that the last straw
of impertinence had been laid upon her
devoted back by Johns ungrateful
tribe" and she determined straight
way to humble the black-eyed Hattie
if it took her a lifetime to do it.
1t is several years since .'awntie''

Hattie had forgotten all about it I'M
til her fathers second marriage a short
time ago revived the recollection Of
this marriage "awntie' quite approved
and came on to Chicago to visit John
and his new wife and to tell them
just how pleased she was. On the
other hand, Hattie, loyal to traditions,
eyinced only a courteous interest in

While a large oak log was being
sawed into lumber at l.. c. Beams mill,
Redwood, Ohio. the circular saw ran
into an obstruction in the log, which
completely wrecked the saw and en-

The log was chopped into and almost
in its heart was found the steel bit of
an ak. which must have been broken
off there at least thirty years ago, as

her father and sought to make his new
wife welcome by giving a little card
party in her honor. She brought out
her finest napery and china and spent
much cash and originality on favors

was done to please her fathers bride
and Hattie's good intentions were
heartily seconded by her husband.

The expression Rob Peter to pay

which once existed between Westmin-
ster abbey, dedicated to st. Peter, and
St. Paul's cathedral. In 1850 there was
deficiency in the treasury of st. PadPs
and to cover this deficiency money be-
longing to ST. Peters was appropriated.

asked the question, why rob St. Pc
