up and said: Now I WONT do q

that Paul could give cards and spades
to- any preacher, and then oeat him

after dark, as We were walking around.
beautiful woman, like Greek statue,
rose up before us, with white robe on,
and she went up to dad and claimed his
protection, as she was being pursued
by robbers, and she cuddled up to dad.
At first we thought she was ghost,
but when she touched dad, and chung
to him, he said she was warm all
right, and was no ghost, and he told
her not to worry, as she was under
the protection of the American flag.

Berlin is at it's best at night. 1t
has discovered the secret of electric
lighting, and when people step out
from their offices and shops at s and Q
o'clock ut night it is into an enchanted
city. The solid palaces, the monstrous
statues, the enormous houses and wide
spaces Of the long and stately streets
are then soft and gracious With fairy
radiance. 1t is city not only Of pros
perity, but of pure delight. The heav-
mess of the buildings and the rigidity
Of their lines are blurred and softened
In this clear northern air the million
lamps blazing from the walls of houses,
shining across the interminable streets
and glowing in a straight line down
the whispering avenues, have some
thing Of the magic gentleness and sen
suous inspiration of an Arabian story.
You begin to think Berlin is the great
est city in the world.

old burgher, proudly loving his native
state" but the neatly turned compli-

"a hobby old burglar, prowling round
in a naked state" This was as per7
verse and shooting as the blunder in
the message Ernest Renan had occa-

channel on the subject Of proposed

Dancing Birds.

Sailors visiting the island Of Laysan,
In the Hawaiian group, are greatly
amused by the curious antics of the
Laysan albatross, or gony. These birds
sometimes perform in pairs a kind of
dance, or, as the sailors call it, "cake-
walk" Two albatrosses approach each
other, nodding and making profound
bows, cross their bills, produce snap
ping and groaning sounds, rise on their
toes. puff out their breasts and finally
part with more nodding and bowling,
only to come together again and repeat
the performance. Occasionally three
engage at once in this singular amuse-
ment.

long time between drinks" The true
history Of this famous anecdo,e was
told by a South Carolnian. 1t appears
that the phrase was first heard at Il
political dinner when the governors
Of both North and South Carolina were
present. The first governor had lcliv-
cred Il fiery political speech. The stu
alton was intense when the turn came
for the governor of South Carolina to
speak. 1t seemed that any word the
governor might say would complicatc
the situation. Even should he keep ST.
lent his opinion would seem clear. 1t
was at this critical moment that the
governor of the other Carolina rose
and, inspired by stroke Of genius, re-
marked. ITS long time between
drinks" The absolutely noncommit-
tai remark saved the situation.
