When the fisherman decided to break up camp,
And leave old Grandpa to his domain damp,
The angular stream, it is related,
OF Plscatory dweliers was depopulated.
And the venerable fish was all alone
And loud did he wall and long did he moan,
Sad, Oh, sad was that terrible day.
And Grandpa Fish now looks this way:

Bells Concert Band gave a good
Thursday night in spite of the
fact that most of the boys we're tired
out after their Oak Grove trip and
several members we're unable to be
present. The concert was given under
the arc light on Ninth and Main
streets. The want of band stand is
now keenly felt. When the Court
House yard was graded, the court
thought that ndgconcerts. in Lex.
ngton were.a thing of the past, and
ordered the old stand removed. So 1t
was taken to the driving park to be
used as judges stand. The driving
park activity is now apparently de-
funct and the old stand is merely Z
topic of conversation for young mel
and visiting ladies who are on theil
way to Lovers Lane.

HER HAT ANNOYED HIM.
Great MIIllnsr Finally Rsarran0sd
 QuIils at Wrong Angle.


 How the soul of . true artist was stung is told by woman who has just returned from Paris. Though she brought many beautiful gowns home with her, she had saved out her oldest clothes to wear upon the steamer.
 In her compartment of the train from Paris to Cherbourg there sat op- posite her middle-aged man. He kept looking at her, and especially at her hat, with such marked disapprov- al that she felt extremely uncomfort- able, and wished she had worn some of her good clothes.
 On board the steamer she discov- cred this same man was passenger. and whenever she met him on deck he made her feel the same discomfort by staring at her hat
 Pardon me, but I am M. L." he said, giving the name of a great mil. liner. Ever since saw you have sbeen distressed by the angle at which the Quills on your hat are put on. would you permit me to arrange them properly?"
 The woman's amusement was great as she took off her hat. He gravely adjusted the quills, then said:
 Thank you very much. It Is such a relief to me not to see that inartis- tic angle."
 And he walked away without a smile.

Her Original Scheme.

She was very proud of her first bank book, and determined to make none of the silly mistakes she had read about in the joke columns of newspapers. There was no danger of overdrawing her account. Every check was duly recorded on the stub, and after every four checks balance was correctly struck.
 But how is it?" asked the man one day when looking over the book; "how is it that your checks always come out in even dollars? Do you never have a sum like $5.11 to pay?"
 Yes, often; but have a famous scheme" she explained, gleefully. Its such a bother to add up the cents that l just make the check out for five dollars, and send the II cents in postage stamps"

 Watkins. who had been just on the point of cursing the man roundly for dropping the trunk on his foot at the top landing, contented himself with blaspheming inwardiy instead
 At dinner there was a general hush when he entered the room. and he was introduced to the lodgers, one by one. A sweet looking girl sat next him, who said:
 Tt will be so delightful to have you here, MT. Watkins. MT. Parker, who called here yesterday, tells us that you spent two summers in Europe"
 Memories of rough debauches in London and Paris and feverish gam bling at Monte Carlo came flooding to his brain. His only subjects of conversation. in regard to European travel, heretofore. had been coarse ones. But now, coloring, he spoke

TOOK ALL THE BLAME.
Stately Courtesy Displayed by Bur.
 man to EnglIshman.

In the country district of Burmah the natives still practice the old world stately courtesy, which is now seldom found in the cities where the natives have been long in contact with Europeans.
 An English gentleman who had bought new pony was trying him one morning when the animal bolted and ran full speed down narrow road.
 Straight ahead was a native cart, in which was a family party out holiday making. The pony dashed into the midst of the merrymakers, and se- verely injured the native who was driving.
 Before the Englishman had an op- portunity to explain his unexpected onslaught the Burman picked himself up and bowed low.
 My lord. pardon" he said, apolo- getically, my cart should not have been there."

AUTHOR OF SCIENTIFIC cATEcHIsM

Sir Oliver Lodge, maker of the scientific cate chsm submitted to gathering of clergymen in London, Is one of England's leading scientists. His forte Is electricity. upon which he has spent many hundreds of hours ani has written vast number of papers. Many discoveries are due to his scientific insight. and as far back as 1894 he demonstrated method of wireless telegraphy. which, however, did not attract much notice out. side scientific circles. His career has been one of continuous hard work. He went to Newport Grammar school and afterwards helped his father in business. He burnt the midnight oil and ob- tained his B.

of Notre Dame and the Louvre; of St. Paul's and Windsor. The unaccount- able influence of this slight creature beside him, brought to his memory scenes of beauty and interest that he had looked on only in passing, and had long forgotten. He talked with. out roughness, and even found him. self thanking the waitress for things she passed him. He felt pleasantly uncomfortable.
 He walked that evening with two of his fellow lodgers, for 8 little exer- else before retiring. One of them was the young lady whom he had sat next to at dinner. The other was . young lawyer who occupied the room next to his in the hall. Their talk was wholesome and happy. They asked him about his home and his business, not as curiosity seekers or idlers, but as people sincerely inter. ested in him. They never talked of themselves; but answered his ques- tions frankly.
 When he returned to his room there was flower on his bureau. The gas was burning low. The windows were slightly opened, and the fresh, pure air surrounded him. He found a pitch. CT of cool water at hand, and a glass stood near it. Presently, Mrs. Simp- son knocked at his door, Tt occurred to me-" she said. sweetly, that you might not yet have unpacked your books"
 Watkins looked apprehensively at the cheap, trashy literature that adorned his shelves. "N-no," he said slowly. T haven't"
 If you would like to use any of our books. just go down into the library and help yourself. You need not bother to return them to their places, if you get interested. Just leave them here in your room"
 Upon the following Sunday one of the neighbors met Mir. Watkins in front of 1916.
 'T suppose this is MT. Watkins" he said, cordially offering his hand. T am indeed glad to meet you, for I have heard of you from your friends. Cone up tomorrow to 1924. three doors up. and have dinner. We shall be glad to add another gentleman to our list of acquaintances."
 And so time passed. until one bright day. three months later, there came again to 1916 Mir. J. Spencer Parker. He pulled the door knob with some trepidation, and heard again the faint tinkle of the imita- ton cowbell in the rear. He talked again to the middle-aged. delightfully."- beautiful woman who answered his call. He left again in about half an hour. But this time. as he passed the little grocery store on the corner, he was seen to slap himself enthusias. tically on the leg and to smile ra- diantly.

European Marriage Figures.

It is estimated that the women of Great Britain have nearly twice as many chances of being m ' ried as the women of any other nation in Europe. This is one of the facts shown in the annual statistical abstract from the principal nations of the world is- sued by the English board of trade recently. The period covered by the figures is from 1893 to 1903. In each Of those ten years there have been IA or 16 marriages per thousand of the population in Great Britain, while in other countries the rate has re- mained steadily at between seven and eight per thousand.

Fresh Ar for Pneumonia.

Dr. Northrup. professor of chiL dren's diseases in Columbia univer. sity, was the first to break away from the tradition of the close, warm room and to take his pneumonia pa. tients to the roof. In the cold and snow and winter winds he placed his patient on the housetop, clothed and bedded against the cold. and gave the first dose of cold, pure air to the lungs of the sufferer. Success has been such that the treatment has been spreading until outdoor winter for the pneumonia victim promises to be as widely accepted as 1t is becoming for the tuberculous patient.
