But il seemed her fate to have to fade
away.
She 50 incurred attenuation, with a Wis
age like an owl'st
That a smile upon her face wis never
seen.
While below her mouth were wrinkles.
and above her eyes were scoWls.
And he" nose was like a hatchCt In be-

But one day she fell to laughing In a
strange. hysteric way,
Just I'M thinking how ridiculous it
proved.
And il menowod to a cackle that was
some enough, they say,
Till at last she gigglcd every time She
moved.
Why SEE chuclglcd out her wrinkles. and
she sniukcted off her frowus
And then took to all the things she
shou,drtt do;
Now she's gown as fat as butter, and
has outgi own All her g0wts:
But she laughs away at Inat disaster,

WAYS THAT BRING FAD LUCK.
Waste Is Not Generosity, Nor Is
Thrift Stinqiness.

Waste Is Not Generosity, Nor Is
Thrift stinginess.
There is an old superstition that 1t
is bad luck TO burn piece Of bread.
The origin OF this is obvious, says
the Saturday Evening Post, though
probably few indeed of those who re-
ligiously adhere 10 the superstition
have paused TO think that il dates
from those times when families were
part Of the regular order OF life.
Famine no longer troubles the
imagination OF men; but the broad
truth under the foolish superstition
remains. Burning bread isn't any
more likely to bring bad luck than
wasting it in another way. But vast
ing anything in any way Is extreme
proyocation 10 what we call bad
luck" II the grown people who
habitually waste do not suffer for II
their children surely will--for they
Will follow the example set them. and
rare indeed is it that a family can sur
yiye the faults OF two successive
wasteful generations.
Waste is not generosity; thrift is
not stinginess. There are millions of
Americans. especially among the poor
end the not-too-well-off, who seem to
think so. A thorough investigation
would place at the head of the list of
causes of poverty: "Wastefulness in
herited from wasteful parents"

The late Father Scully of Cam

at temperance lecture in Medford:
There was a man in Cambridge who
was a confirmed drunkard, and whose
friends had tried hard to reform him.
Father Scully met him one day, and
thought he would try a new way of
reform. He told the man if he did not
stop drinking he would turn into a
rat. This had a great effect. The
unfortunate commenced to brood over
il. He started for home and sat for
hours. thinking that he was going to
turn into rat. Finally he called his
wife and said: MARY if ever you
see me turning into a rat, for Gods
sake keep your eye on the cat"
