seems to have an unusually large
stock in trade from which to furnish
the newspaper interviewer in search OF
the small talk that generally consti-
tutes this form of reading. II might
be possible that the voluble Miss sylvia
has arranged rtopics csinnumericalOr-

She Understood.

When they came on the car the other
day everybody wondered what made
the small girl look so queer. A nice
looking man was leading her by the
hand and she would have been nice
looking, too, If 1t hadn't been for her
bonnet. 1t was the strangest bonnet
seen in many a day. A deep and full
ruffe fell into the child's eyes, while
a stiff, shelf-llke projection stretched
out over her neck. She was uncom-
Portable and the man was obllyious.
After awhile a plump and comfortable
mother of two could endure it no long
er. She leaned across the car and said
something to the man, who began to
smile. He united the bonnet and Pit
it on the other side up. The rufhe
developed into little cape and the
shelf into a poke bonnet and the
transformation was complete.
"You see, her mother wasn't around
and T." he began.
"Of course you did," smiled back the
mother of two.-New York Sun.

Improvement on Grecian invention

which is very similar In all languages,
IL derived from the Greek word pempo,
TO send or throw. The most ancient de-

by Hero Of Alexandria. There Is no

the pump I'm Germany previous 10 the
