STONES IN THE ROAD.
Telling Everybody of Your Little
Trials and Troubles Is Per-
niciOus Habit

The two boys were drawing their
small wagon, full Of packages from
the grocery, slowly up the road toward
nome. The older one pushed forward
steadily, but the younger was con-
stantly hopping first on one foot and
then on the other, and complaining
that the pebbles on the road hurt his
bare feet. At last his brother turned
upon him with a mingling of reproof
and contempt:
Course there's stones in the road"
he said. "There's always stones in the
road, and every Teller that comes along
has to get over 'em the best way he
can. You don't have to howl and tell
everybody whenever you strike one;
that doesn't help any,
But many an older one than Bobby
has failed to learn that lesson, and we
all have acquaintance whom we can
not meet without hearing a full ac-
count of the last pebble they have
struck. The maid has gone, or the
furnace doesn't work, or they couldn't

When Mark Twain Flunked.

A few nights ago Mark Twain told
to some friends story about himself
which he failed to incorpora tie in "Iife
on the Mississippi" On one occasion
when he started on trip down the
river on fatboa he was advised never
to answer the questions asked by river
men on other boats and never to handy
words with them, as he would be sure
always to come out second best. He
followed the advice re2igiously for g
time, but one day he thought he saw
chance to get the better of river
man, who called out:
"Hey, thar, what yer loaded with?''
"Jackasses. Don't you want to come
aboard?'' yelled back Twain.
'That's whit I reckoned, seedn' as
how they let their biggest donkey hey
Their run of the DECK came back
Twain made dive below as all the
river men in the neighborhood set up
a derisive laugh at his expense.

Us round it. To my thinking there
is nothing that becomes a pretty
woman more than the mere common
place act of pouring out tea. 1t was
certainly so in this case. When !
looked at the white cloth upon the
table, the heavy brass tray, and the
silver jugs and teapot, and thought

sci, then reposing in a cupboard in
my office, and in which I brewed my
cup of tea every afternoon, I smiled
to myself. I felt that / should never
use it again without recalling this
meal. After that 1 wondered wheth-
er it would ever be my good fortune
to sit in this garden again, and to sip
my Orange Pekoe from the same
dainty service. The thought that I
might not do so was, strangely
enough, an unpleasant one, and I put
it from me with all promptness. Dur
ing the meal, Kitwater scarcely ut
tered word. We had exhausted the
proba bilities of the case long since,
and l soon found that he could think
or talk of nothing else. At six
o'clock I prepared to make my
adieux. My train left Bishopstowe
for London at the half-hour, and
should just have time to walk the
distance comfortably. To my de-
light my hostess decided to go to
church, and said she would walk
with me as far as the lych-gate. She
accordingly left us and went into the
house to make her toilet. AS soon
as she had gone Kitwater fumbled
his way across to where I was sit
ting, and having discovered a chair
beside me seated himself in it..

The second illustra ton shows a very
common but mistaken fashion of
hanging pictures. Here the eye is dis
tracted from the picture, which should
be the center of interest. The oblique
lines of the wire are obtrusive, and the
ugly shadow usually cast by the over
hanging frame is still more SO. In fact,
all the lines confuse the eye, so that
wall thus hung with pictures can never
be beautiful or rea sonable from an ar
tistic standpoint. = Good Housekeep-
