An Artistic Slip-Up.

The old farmer could raise excellent
produce, but he had almost no School
ing" In fact the old man could not
resort to a novel scheme to take his
orders. Instead of writing he would
draw a picture of the vegetable or
fruit ordered and beside it he would
put figure denoting the number of
quarts, pounds, etc, of the thing de-
sired. 1nis scheme worked very well,
and the good housewives were willing
to overlook some mistakes, as the
farmers produce was much above the
ordinary marke: stuff. But one good
woman was very much mystified one
day when the old man came in lug
ging a big watermelon. "Why, l did
not order that, John" she said.
Eyes, indeed, you did, ma'am," he
said, earnestly, for l drew it in my
book. l drew the picture and put a
figure one side of it, meaning one
watermelon"
you've made some mistake" she
said. Lets see your order book"
He opened the book and triumphant
ly pointed to a picture. There it is,
there's the watermelon" he said.
"Why, it looks to me more like a
potato" she said. "Why, it is, John;
don't you remember, l ordered peck
of potatoes?" and the old farmer
grinned shamefacedly while the good
housewife went off into peals of
laughter.

Method Of Sliding Down the Rail.

feet straight out before him, the hol-
low of foot sliding down either side
Of the rail- and acting as a brake,
the little muleshoe grasping that same
rail, his arms widespread. dipping up
or down, to balance him, like buz-

the Tennessee miner shoots down that
two miles and a half of steep incline
at the rate of mile n minute.
A singing as of hizzing wires pre-
cedes the miners, and they whiz past
the observer, one after the other, in
quick succession. If a man gains too
fast on the one before him, pressure
of the brake-his feet-slackens his
speed.

to think what might happen. Two or
three have been killed. but hundreds

Those who live on the plateau ST

A Metropolitan Tragedy.


There was tragedy in his eyes. You
see he was very much in love, was
poor but proud.
He stood facing the girl, his face set
in the lines of blank despair.
She looked at him calmly. There
was a milo regret in her expression
nothing more.
you promised me faithfully" he
said. Not alone in his words but in
the Intensity of his voice she could
read bitter reproach.
IL am sorry" she said simply. 81
did not know that you really cared so
much. II you would only wait-if
you would only give me little more
time"
II have been waiting longer than
most men could bear. My trust in
you was never shaken before. Now,
when my hopes have been raised to
their highest pitch"
But lest the reader misunderstood
we will explain that the man was not
in love with the girl to whom he was
talking She is agent for a laundry
and has promised that his laundry
would be done that afternoon. Her
promise is unfulflled and the man
will not be able to call on The Girl
with whom he is in love.
Sadly he leaves the Office of the
laundry lingering the two dimes which
will just pay for telegram to The
Girl, saying that he is i'll.
