We Apologize.

A month ago we gently criticised an
autoist for running down and killing
woman In st. Louis, and two weeks since
we hurt the feelings of another by saying
that he oughtn't to have run over a man
In Brooklyn. Our remarks were based
on the superstition that the autoists were
having a little fun, but 1t now appears
that there Is a disease of the eye among
them known as "aloyasis," and that
chauffeurs and owners cannot be held
responsible. In a recent suit 1t Pitts
long a chauffeur testified:
Your Honor, when a woman appears
on the street just ahead Of me. / take her
for a COW, and thinking a cow able to
take care Of herself. / do not slacken

MUTUAL CONGRATULATIONS.

The farmer had brought In butter and

weighed the butter the farmer said:

now as II we were about to return to

''It does that. see that a congress

Then they smiled at each other, agreed

four ounces. and the farmer was half q

The Fable for the. Week

One day, when a number Of birds had
collected together in a grove to talk over
matters Of the day, a Jackdaw made his
appearance among them and said:
my dear friends, wish to call your
attention to one Of the saddest cases
1t has ever been my lot to come across.
Most Of you will remember that Mr. Blue
Bird was killed by stone thrown by a
boy some six weeks ago. His widow
was left without any means Of support,
and In addition to her great grief she Is
now in need of the necessaries Of life.
TOO bad! Too bad!" cried his listen
ers in chorus.

tinued the Jackdaw, land l have taken
1t upon myself to see II something can
not be done. Let us be charitable. Let
us open our purses. Let us soften the
pangs Of poverty, even II we cannot dry
the tears of grief"
Yes, let US do SOL" exclaimed the
whole flock; and thereupon each and
everyone went down into his hind-pocket
and handed over what he could spare of
the needful. When a good, fat purse had
been made up the Heron arose and OBJ
served:
There Is nothing mean about me, but
should like to know just how much
Mr. Jackdaw contributedT'
why, THAT is-you know didn't

considerable improvement made in the

that the old custom of New Years

obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones friends
