A BOY who wanted to Know.

Little Perry, while rummaging among
his fathers books the other evening.
found volume of Milton's poems, says
the Chicago Record-Herald. He took
it from the case and looked into it.
laborious1y reading three or four titles,
after which he asked:
Papa, did Milton write any children's
poems?'
mo"
"Why?"
well, they didn't have any children's
poems when Milton lived. You see. he
has been dead long, long time-more
than two hundred years
oh! Didn't the people have any
children when Milton was living?"
The same boy goes to Presbyterian
Sunday school. He has never been
baptized. owing to the fact that his
parents are not members of the church.
They sometimes attend religious SER
vices, however. and their son has fire.
quently had opportunities for witness
ing the baptismal ceremony. Recent
~ his Sunday school teacher had a
discussion with him concerning the
fact that he had never been baptized,
informing him that until he was he
could not become a member of the
church.
He went home, considerably troubled,
to ask his mother about it.
Yes" she answered. you must be
baptized before you can be taken into
the church"
well. why didn't you have me bap-
tized when 1 was a little baby?" he
complained.
"Oh, that doesn't matter. You can
be baptized at any time
DO boys who are eight or nine years
old ever get baptized?''
Yes, often: even men. sometimes
are baptized"
This was going too far. He looked
at her with open disbelief, and. by
way of justifying his doubt said:
Not big men as old as papai How
could their parents hold them in their
arms while the minister was wetting
their heads?"

Puzzles In Spelling.

What queer quirks a good and ODE
dent mind will sometimes take! says
the Brooklyn Eagle A clergyman of ex-
ceptional scholarly attachments tells
me that he once wrote what he at the
moment, he conceived to be the word
righteous"
The nature of his calling
ought to suggest that of all words.
this one should be among the most
familiar to him; and, indeed, II was.
Yet when he had written it. it did not
look right. After puzzling over it for
some time he concluded that it must
end with "ious" instead of ''eous." as
he had written it. Finally. in a men
tai middle, he went to his unabridged
dictionary, but was amazed at finding
no such word there Deferring fur
Their search, for the nonce, he COM
pleted his letter and then opened the
dictionary again. This time he found
the word all right and in it's proper
place, a fact which, he said. would
have been a warning to him if he had
been a drinking man.
The explanation of it was. that by
some unaccontable freak he had got
it into his. NOODLE that it was spelled
"ritcheous." He had spelled it SO in
his letter and had. of course, looked
on the wrong page of the dictionary
for it in the first instance. BY the
time he looked again the CROCHET was
out of his mind and he knew how
to spell the word as Webster did.

"That boy will be the death of me
some day." declared the head of the
family, according to the Detroit Free
Press. I'm sure don't know where
he gets all his impudence and self-as-
surance, surely not from me. He re-
turned home from college the other
day to spend the holidays, as 1 sup
posed, and, entering my office, he threw
his hat on the floor, selected an easy
chair, put his feet on my desk, lit a
cigarette. inhaled a few puffs, and, the
turning languidly to me, he drawled:
Say, dad. do you remember the
time when YOU were sent home from
college?"
"I did There was no use denying it,
for one day in a burst of confidence 1
had told him some of my escapades as
a boy, and lived to regret that 1 had
been so indiscreet.
We'll said he, history has repeat
ed itself
What do you mean. you young
scallywag?' 1 roared
Oh said he. easily, I've been sent
home, too. Astonishing, isn't it. dad,
how such things will run In a family?' .

PROJECTED hx Angels.

The Rochester papers tell the story
of Josephine, a minister's 4-year-oid
daughter, who resorts to many childish
tricks to have some one in the room
with her until she goes to sleep. There

The only real, reliable weather
sharp in Congress is Senator Platt of
Connecticut. 1t is not believed that
any yankee agriculturist can hold
candle to the Senator when. it comes
to foretelling the weather. For years
he has been a close student of this
subject, until now he is regarded as
the expert meteorologist of Congress.
The Council of the Cherokee nation
has decided to erect a monument to
mark the grave of George Lowrey,
who played an important part in the
affairs of the nation from 1890 to 1850,
or thereabouts. Lowrey served as a
captain of horse under Andrew Jack
son throughout the war of 1912 and
he and his Cherokees fought for the
government in subsequent Indian wars.

Two clergymen took possession of
the Amen Corner at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel during the absence of the poll
ticians at Albany and fell to relating
anecdotes of the cloth.
Bishop Coleman of Delaware has
some odd experiences in the course of
his annual outings" said one. You
know every summer he dons old clothes
and tramps through the mountains of
West Virginia.
"Qne day last summer, covered with
dust and appearing like a venerable
tramp, the Bishop entered an inn where
several mountaineers were drawn up
at the bar.
:" Come, join us called out one of
the men Hospitality. 4 s. .--
4" No, thank you said the Bishop,
courteously. The fact is I do not
drink
"Do you eat hay?' retorted the West
Virginian, nettled at the Bishops re-
fusal.
"No,' was the bland reply.
Then say drawled the noun
taineer. looking to the others to see the
effect of his witticism. Then I say
that you're not fit company for man

CURRENT COMMENT.

The washington Post (Ind) says:
ut seems that the government is still
paying a special attorney to look after
the cases of Greene and Gaynor In
the meantime. the late associates of
former Capt. Carter are resting COM
fortably in Canada and spending the
money they lifted from the govern
ment. Uncle Sam is being worked
both ways from. the middle. but it is
not a new experience for him.
Victor Smith writes in the New York
Press (Rep): "That able Irlshrnan,
John f. Mcintyre, born in Savannah,
Ga, is quoted as saying that Col.
Lynch had a precedent in many sons
of Erin coming over here to fight
against England in our War of the
Revolution. Col. Mcintyre seems to
have forgotten that ireland did not be-
come part of the United Kingdom until
1901, In 1916 Irishmen were free to
night against any country except Ire
land"
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem.)
says: "If the railroads of the United
States were owned and operated by
the government the demand for an
eight-hour day for all railroad en-
ployeS would nave to- be conceded and
the result would be an immediate in
crease in the cost OF operating the
railroads of from $50. OO0 coo to $780,
100000 annually. This would be an
added tax on the business interests of
the country. In France, where the
eight-hour system has been applied to
the government navy yards and ship
building works, there is a demand for
an extension of the system to the state
railroads which the government will
not be long able to resist. IT is stated
that the popularity of NJ. Pellatan, the
minister of marine, has been enor-
mously increased by his extension OF
the eight-hour rule to all the naval
establishments. and popularity is what
the government officials are after IN
republic"

More than 1900 arrests were made in
the anthracite coal region by the pro-
vost guards while the Pennsylvania
state troops were in the coal fields on
the order of the Governor of the state.
Evidence is now being gathered by the
United Mines Workers to show that
the great majority Of these arrests By
the soldiers were of soldiers and not
of strikers. 1t is proposed to be shown
that the soldiers themselves were more
disorderly than the strikers, and that
the greater part OF the work perform
ed by the military was to keep its own
men in order.

France is suspicious of Germany's
purposes in Venezuela, and thinks that
the Teutons are aiming a blow at the
Monroe doctrine. France need not feel
any alarm for us, however. Although
we may be young as national age goes,
ard although we may be little be-
hind in diplomacy according to Euro
pean standards, the fact still remains
that we are able to take care of our
selves. It isn't worth while to attempt
to cross a bridge of trouble made in
Germany before we come to it.

On last Sunday for the second time
the House of Representatives held a
regular session, for the purpose of
eulogizing deceased members. Why
wouldn't it be a good idea to make
Sunday sessions for such purposes the
regular order? The exercises would
partake of a religious. character, hence
there would be no dissertation of the
day, and the public business would not
suffer.

1t isn't every man who can sit down
in his library and toast his shins be-
fore fire that cost $1,000. That how
ever. is what mfr. c. F. Spalding of
Springfield, Mass. did a few days ago.
The coal was getting low in Mr.. spald-
ing's bin, so he thought he would econ
onize on that article and at the same
time have a cosy fire by burning a
number Of old books for which he had
no use. After he had concluded his
book burning he discovered that he had
consigned to the flames two rare id
volumes worth $500 each and which
cannot be duplicated. Mr.. spalding is
now Of the opinion that his economic
ing on coal was rather costly.

AS a matter of fact, wasn't there
just bit of unseemly haste about the
selection and announcement of Judge
Day, of Ohio, to succeed Justice Shiras
on the Supreme Bench? Justice Shiras
has not yet resigned nor has he been
retired. 1t seems that the selection
OF his successor in advance of either
of these occurrences is somewhat pre-
mature.

The News and Courier says the ques-
ton for South Carolina to settle is
whether man is safe from the penal
ties of the law who. having had a
quarrel with another, meets him with
his hands in his pockets and kills him
on that ground. Meanwhile it would
be well for gentlemen in South Caro-
lima to religiously avoid putting their
hands into their pockets while on the
streets, if they wish to keep out of the
hospitals. And strangers would do well
not only to keep their hands out of
their pockets, but elevated above the
level of the shoulders.

A peculiar muddy rain fell in San
Francisco a few days ago. When the
rain water had dried off the streets it
was found to have left sediment of
fine, light dust. The dust is believed
to have come from the volcano of
Santa Maria, in Guatemala, which
broke out in violent eruption last Oc-
tober, causing great destruction. For
some weeks the people of California
have been witnessing some gorgeously
coiored sunsets, which they believe are
accustomed by volcanic dust in the air
