A CEREAL STORY.
Actor who Once Made "a Meal on
Petunia, NRHturtium and
PRnsF Seeds.

The refreshing part of story which
the New Yorl. Times recounts is not the
stupidity of man in his domestic aspect.
The particular man concerned is an actor
whose wife-an actress-is an earnest
advocate of the theory that food should
f. the consumer rather than the reverse,
Consequently there are periods when
milk flows necessarily through the
household menu. Again 1t is hot water,
and at other times nuts, fruits and grains
alone are relied upon to nourish genius
to It's finest flower.
Once, in the grain age, the wife waG
called away to rehearsal that was like
ly to last well into the afternoon. She
told her husband that he would have to
get his own luncheon, and he cheerfully
consented to do It.
Il had a fine meal OF your new cereal"
he said, when she returned.
What do you mean?" she inquired. Il
haven't any new cereal in the house"
why. that nutty stuff you left on the
dining-room table"
The wife sat down suddenly. You've
eaten up my windowgarden!" she
walled "All my petunia, nasturtium and
pansy seeds!"

ago she went to the village to see how
her property Was getting along, and
greatly to her surprise she found that the
furniture had disappeared. A little later,
while looking around in the vicinity, she
saw a brand new pump which she had
recently purchased, in the well on the
premises of a neighbor. Following up
this clew she called at the house, and
there found her entire outfit of furniture,
carpets and dishes. The dwelling was
occupied by man and his wife who had
been married only couple of weeks, and
the former said he had found the house
of the Watertown woman open, and, be-
lieving that the owner would not object,
he had borrowed the goods. He was evil
