Nh Ominous Owl.

It's an odd thing, but there are a
number of people who have a distinct
antipathy to the screech owl and can
not listen to a single burst of its
hilarity without shuddering. The
screech OWLS supposed by the negroes
on southern plantations to be in direct
communication with all the ghosts
and giants Of the forests. He plays
a great part in the more weird folklore
stories Of the darkies. A funny super
sttion in regard to the screech owl is
that if you will take your shoe or slip,
per off your left foot the first time you
hear an owl laugh and turn the shoe
sole upward on the floor and place your
"stockin' foot" on the bottom Of the
shoes sole the owl will stop laughing
and fly for ten miles without rest.

Reading.

Reading is not a lost art to the same
degree that conversation is, but it has
in most cases an arrested development
through SO much reading that makes
no demand upon aesthetic sensibility,
so that n is apt to bring to a fine
story full of delicate shades Of thought
and feeling the same mind which he
yields to a newspaper, putting a blunt

Disadvantages Of an Even Temper.
1t is usual to envy the ever tempered
~people-those who are never unduly
elated or cast down, who "knit on
plain" all the time. If one like that sort
Of thing it would be equally natural
to envy the animals-cows and pigs, for
tnstance-whose serenity is seldom dis
turbed. For my part 1 think those even
tempered people lose nine-tenths Of the
pleasure Of existence. The depths Of
grief and gloom into which impulsive
people are thrown are amply made up
for by the equally unreasonable and
u%nreasonfng joy into which they spring
at the slightest possible excuse, and
the sorrow Of a quarrel with a dear
one is paid for in the delight Of 'mak-
ing up" Parents are very apt to i'm
press on their children the beauty Of
this even disposition, but so far as I
cap see the only benefit derived from
it is an unwrink1ed complexion.-Dona-

Lord Erskine, when chief justice Of

promise Of marriage was tried before
him in which a Miss Tickell was plain
tiff. The counsel was a pompous young
nan named Stanton, who opened the
case with solemn emphasis thus:
"Tickell, the plaintiff, my lord" Err
skine dryly interrupted him with: "Oh,
tickle her yourself, Mr.. Stanton. It
would be unbecoming to my position"

FOR NE. MINNEAPOLIS


One Of the latest organizations in
East Minneapolis is the Athletic club
which was formed last week by group
of boys residing in Northeast Mime
apolis While many Of the club mem
bers belong to the Loyalty Baptist
church, this is not intended to be a
club. restricted to members of that
church. The plans of the club are to
rent a hall which might be suitable
for a gymnasium and for the pursuit
of other athletic sports and pleasures.
Allen Kelsey is the president of the
club, Ralph Whitcomb, vice president;
Stanley Douglas, treasurer, and Leroy
Hernlund, secretary. Northeast Min
neapolis has nothing in the form Of 4
gymnasium or something on that order
which might serve as a meeting place
for the young boys, and the establish
ing of such would fill a long-felt want.
