Quite Bostoneeuue

A clever literary woman has told the
following incident. to which she was an
eye and ear witness while boarding In
q Philadelphia private family-mem-
bers OF the Society OF Friends:
There was but one chlld--a boy Of
years--to brighten the household. who.
despite his extreme youth. was an ON
niverous reader of books. Found seat
ed In corner one day. with large
open volume across his knees, the
following dialogue between the hoy
and his mothers lady boarder ensued:
What are you reading. my childf'
he was asked.
"Josephus. ma am" was the answer.
"And do you understand what you
readf"
II think do" he said.
But you should read the Bible first.
Il have read II to the end was the
unexpected reply.
''Indeed! Then perhaps you can tell
me what you think OF 1T"
II think II felton," he said. with
| some emphasis.
Shocked by such an exhibition OF un-
belief In one Of such tender years. the
lady rejoined:
III you think the Bible untrue. will
| you give me your reason for lit"
"Yes. ma'am." he replied. with much
earnestness. DO you want me 10 be-

A Lesson In Poiiteness.

lie was q travelling man-the cut Of
his clothes. their loudness and his silk
hat told the story-and he was In q
crowded elevator In the Park building.
He had probably heard In his travels
OF Pittsburg being noted for her beau
tiful women. but Il remained for col
ored woman To enlighten him as to
some Of Pittsburg's men-as she saw
them.
The elevator was descending. and
when Il reached the fourth noor two
colored women boarded II. One Of them
was anything but beautiful. and was
past the age when goo-goo eyes have
much effect. Her msuth was her larg-
est feature. and what emanated from Il
made one man feel very small.
Charley" said the tiled drummer to
friend who was with him. II have
only been In Pittsburg Ave days. but
In that time have seen some extreme
ly beautiful women"
He laughed at his own Joke and
looked at the colored woman insinuat-
ingly.
She gave him witherins glance.
Her big mouth puckercd disdainfuliy.
Then. turning to her companion. she
said. In . voice that everybody In the
elevator could plainly hear:
''Lixe. rss only been In Ptttsbarg one
day. but In that time ! has seen any
numbah O. impudsnt men what wants
to fiirt with pretty girls"
Every body but the travelling man
laughed. Tho joko was on him. He
knew Il. and his face was soon match
for his red tie.
When the car reached the ground

glinE-except the drummer. The col
ored woman stepped out Of the elevator
ahead OF him. and Just ~ he emerged
she said TO him. as q parting shot:
"Now. you cheap white trash. come
at me again!"

SONS. The pollen of this common
plant, instead of being a powder, as
in the case of most plants, consists OF
sticky, waxen masses hidden within
the blossom. When a visiting insect
thrusts proboscis or leg into the
opening of such flower some of these
masses stick to it and the natural
course is for the insect to fiy off to
another flower and fertilize this with
the adhering pollen. All insects, how
ever, are not strong enough to ex-
tract their legs from the sticky places,
and then ensues the slow torture of
hanging there until death or help
ing hand releases them from misery

When the chief saw his wife IN that
earthly paradise lit was Sapthern
California;, he dried his tears, smiles
came again to his face, his eyes
frightened and he said to the sun
god: 'HTake me back. know now that

So the two returned, the god of the
sun exacting promise that he would
not tell his people too much of what
he bad seen, lest they should grow
disconnected with their desert living
place and desire to go to the paradise
of the dead. Then, to prevent the pos
