the kitchen precisely what each board

well indeed.
The other evening at dinner she said
interrogatively to each man in turn,

the third added, "I'lI take tomato"
Whereupon the intelligent maiden
delivered the several orders into the
kitchen in this wise, Zone tomayto

matte SOUP"

what he had asked for and was happy
until the next order was taken.
But that is another course.-Judge.

height six and Il half feet. The buoy
has a double bottom and draws two
and a half feet of water when loaded.

At the convention of railway engineers
and firemen held at Chattanooga few
weeks ago, at which President Roose-
Welt was present, Mr.. Clark made an
address which impressed the president
with his ability and personality.
Mr.. Clark is well known in Washing

highly commended. The mediation
