Mrs. Gregg was known to all Cedar
by as "a born manager; but she was
unconscious Of her reputation, and, in
fact, never suspected that she pos
scssed single trait which could lead
to such Il characterization.
Look at Salome Jones and her
young man." said Mrs. Gregg, summon
ing a visitor to her front window.
Look at him Looping along with Saleme
trotting at his side. My stars! Well,

to anything, guess they'll learn to
accommodate their steps to each other
before they've been married long, same
as James and did"
"How did you do 1t?' asked the
visitor
"How did we do it?" echoed Mrs.
Gregg. "Why, we did 1t by patience
and perseverance, same as you have
to do everything in this world. When
we walked together I kept saying,
James, your steps are too long
James, you're going too fast James,
you're four steps ahead Of me- till

advertised in the papers for the owner.

He Finds Where He liz AT.

Professor Wiley of the Bureau Of
Agricultures chemical department
was talking about explanations that
do not explain.
These explanations that make moth
ing clear, these answers that throw
no light, make me think of an ac-
quaintance Of my boyhood, Jerome
Hert Of Indiana.
Jerome Hert had a thick head, a
slow mind. One day he was at work
In lonely field when he heard a voice
from the upper air.
"'Heyl Hey, your the voice
shouted.
Jerome looked up in amazement.
About fifty feet above his head was a
balloonist. The balloonist, on wa ger,
was doing sixtymile journey to
Evansville. Now, though, he had lost
his way, and from Jerome Hert he
wished to ascertain it.
Hey, there he repeated.
Wall? said Jerome.
Where am ~ cried the balloon
ist
"Thereupon Jerome made reply of
that opaque, dark sort that we are
speaking Of
Where are you? Why, up in a
balloon he said
