STUN bling about the darkened house
in a futile search for a bucket, he hit
upon another plan. He tiptoed to the
bathroom and turned the cells loose
in the bathtub.
AS soon as the house was quiet the
younger of the two sisters, dressed
for her dreams, stole out of her room
with a heavy crash towel thrown
across her arm and proceeded to tie
bathroom. The room was dark and
she could find no matches. Not car
ing to search for match, she decided
to battle in the dark, and accordingly
turned on the hot and cold water.
When the tub was well filled the
young woman stepped in. The hot
water had .put life into the slippery
eels, and when the young woman got
both feet into the tub the creatures
slid about her ankles and across her
feet.
That was all she remembered. With
one hysterical scream she began
kicking furiously and crying for help.
Her elder sister, fearing she was be-
ing murdered, ran to the bathroom,
but found the door locked. After
couple of moments had elapsed the
girl imprisoned in the bathroom fell
out of the tub and managed to unlock
the door. Not hearing the anxious
questions her frightened sister was
crying at her, she fairly few down
the hallway, clad only in the dark
ness.
"What in the world is the matter,
sister," asked the elder one.
ooh, horrors!" shuddered the hys-
terical girl, "the bathtub is full OF
snakes!"
By this time the head of the family,
clad i'm paiamas, was lettering up
and down the hallway choking in
spasm of laughter. He stamped his
feet, hit his head against the wall, and
at last controlled himself sufficiently
to light the gas. in the bathroom and
call his wife to take a look at the
room. The floor was flooded with
water, and two of the cells were wrig-

the end of it for the present. I did
not think any more of the matter at
the time.
Son the following morning my
companion and / arose early, an hour
or so before breakfast, to enjoy the
glorious early morning mountain air,
and we took a stroll by the lake. to
put in the time before breakfast, for
we were already famished.
"As we were returning to the hotel
we came face to face with the woman
to whom I had been introduced on
the evening before, who bore the
same name as that of my friend.

"'This is the lady 1 mentioned as
having your name,' and formally in
troduced them. ;

panion Mrs. Blank, did under

Eyes, said the other. Mrs. Blank.
You, too, are from Washington, be-

why, yes said my friend, mys-
tifedly. But I really fancied that I
was about the only Mrs. Blank now,
the name is so unusual -

time said the other woman.
"'Yes,' said my friend, more puz-
zled looking than ever. rs it not odd,
then, that I never heard of you?
What were your husbands initials?'

woman He was in the blank-space-

ored furiously and clutched at my
arm and pulled me away. The other
woman smiled grimly and passed on.
She was the first wife of my COM
panion's husband and, she had OBJ
tanned a divorce from him several
wears before he married his second,
my friend. My friends husband, of
course, had never kept any pictures
about of his first wife, SO that my
companion could, of course, not
recognize her when she met her un-
der such queer circumstances. The
frigidity that prevailed between them
during the brief time that the grimly
smiling first wife Of my companions
husband remained there could have
been cut with a rip-saw."

Liability to Deafness.

A French surgeon says that men
are more subject to aural diseases
than women, and that out Of every
seven middle-aged persons there are
two who do not hear SO well with
one ear as with the other. In every
1000 children under Is years of age,
four show symptoms of some ear
diseases, and six a marked deficiency
in hearing power. The liability to
disease increases from birth to the
age of 40, and then begins gradually
to decrease as old age advances.
Out of the total number of cases sub
jected to surgical treatment, it is
estimated that about So per cent. are
cured, and 80 per cent. permanently

Washington Woman Tells of Fun

In a Moment of ThoughtIessn ess She

Had No Particular Desirs

1.-THE next time i introduce two

woman clerk in one of the depart
ments, to Washington Star re-
porter, I'm going to come pretty
near knowing, as the boy says, the
kind of ground I'm standing upon.
I've just returned from my annual
leave in the Adirondacks. My com
panion on the vacation trip was a
woman friend good deal younger
than 1 am, whose husband is in bust
ness in Washington. He found it inn
possible to get away from Washing
ton for vacation this year, and SO
his wife accompanied me for the
months stay in the Adirondacks,
near Lake Placid.
''There were not more than &c
guests at the pleasant, honelike

stay, and they all seemed to he on
the best and merriest terms when we

afternoon, and the journey from
Washington had been such a long and
arduous one that my companion was

THE ROTUND GROCER
BE Was No Match for the Boys Of
the Neighborhood.
youngsters Connected a Scheme
Which Nearly Drove Him wild
and Was the Cause of Con-
siderable Indignation.

A rotund German grocer who con
ducts store in the suburbs of Brook
1en recently incurred the enmity Of the
boys in that vicinity. How the feud
started no one seems to know, but it
certainly engendered plenty of hard
feeling. AT first the boys avenged their
supposed wrongs by jeers and occa-
&ional missiles. The police took a
hand and blocked that game. Then
they planned and carried out revenge
which showed that Young America has
mot lost its traditional ingenuity.
A poolwas formed, each boy coutri-
buting all his pocket money. The
funds of the pool were invested in toy
balloons such as are sold by street "a
kris. The purchase being made at
wholesale rates large supply of bal
looms was accumulated. To each bal
loon was attached a slip of paper which
STATED that the finder would receive a
dollar on returning the balloon to the
grocer. One afternoon when the wind
was blowing in the Long Island direc-
ition the boys sent up the balloons.
Then they awaited developments.
The first developmentc came early tb e
next morning in the form of husky
Long Island farmer, who stopped his
team in front of the grocery store,
marched in with a captive toy balloon
and handed it to the German grocer
with the remark that he would like his
dollar. The grocer stared blankly.
ssFor Why ?" he exclaimed, why should
I give you a dollar for dat? Do look
like a man dot wants toy balloon al
ready? Vat a fool you takes me for;
yes, mop
The farmer showed the inscription
stating. that dollar would be PAID for
the balloon. He had returned it and
wanted his money. Then the grocer,s
wrath dubbed over.
''Dem boys. Dem leedle loafers. Dey
makes all dis trouble. 1 will see der
chudge und ave dem to der prison
send"
But, says the New York Times, it was
only the beginning of his troubles. The
west wind had done a thorough job and
scattered the balloons all over that
part of Long Island. Through the day
farmers, men who worked on the rail-
way and trolley lines, even tramps,
y
ing toy balloons and insisting on a doI-
lar each for returning them. All were
filed with indignation at the grocer's
refusal. And, to add insult to injury,
the boys responsible for the vexing of
his spirit clustered in little groups, up
and down the street, just out of reach,
and by their loud and unfeigned ex-
pressions of delight added to the ro-
tund grocer's misery.
Late in the afternoon the grocer ex-
planned his troubles to a friendly po-
1iceman and asked how the majesty of
the law could be invoked to punish the
erring boys. The policeman, after hear
ing the facts, delivered his Judgment
with the solemnity of Solomon.
eff youse haven't paid out the money,
there's nothin' you can do. But if youse
pay the coin, them boys is bully of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses."
This cleared matters up for the puz-
zled grocer.
yah" he exclaimed in relieved
tones. .sDat vas it. False bretenses.
Of course it vas, false bretense to say
dot I pay dollar for dem little bal
looms. Vat dey tink vas? A fool?"
