AN ATTIC EXPLOIT

with the boy" she said, as Aunt Nancy
dragged me along the hall. "He's done no
harm. You go back to the society, and I'll
help him get off those old things. Come into
my room, Willie. Why didn't you come down
by the stairs, child? That was no way for a
lady to come into a room"
l heard afterward that there was a sus-
picious twinkle in grandfather's eyes several
times that afternoon, but that the solemn
old lady put her handkerchief to her eyes
and wept bitterly, as though my airy and
unexpected descent was in some sense sin
which was to be added to her other RESPONSE
bilities."
Grandfather never referred to the matter,
but l went back to my Western home still
under the ban of Aunt Nancy's severe dis
pleasure.
She kissed me coldly at parting, and said,
solemnly:
Goodbye William Henry. I hope you'll
turn out better than think you will"
| never saw her again, and / hope that l
have "turned OUT much better than she
thought would.
The quickly y-crowding years that came after
the happy days. of my boyhood, brought me
the cares and duties that will soon come to
the young who read this, and hope they will
all be happy while they may.

my collapsed hoopskirt, and, in my bewilder-
ment and dismay, hoisted my parasol to fur
ther conceal myself from the public gaze.
But l suddenly felt Aunt Nancy's hands
under my arms, and was ierked to my feet
with such force that my teeth clicked together
and my wig and bonnet dropped to my shoul-
ders.
Come with me-" said Aunt Nancy, icily,
"you-you- -disgrace"
A peal of laughter rang out at that moment.
1t came from Aunt Comfort, who had come
to the open door of the room.

Ended the Names

A friend in the South asked negro girl her
name.
Matilda" was the answer.
''But that isn't your only name," said the
lady.
Thus encouraged, the girl glibly recited:
matilda Minerva Minelva Virginia Vic
toria Jane" (here memory fails me, for my
friend reported the entire number of names
as eight.
At the end of the recitation, the girl said,
proudly:
"My grandmother named me-"
"But haven't you any more names than
that?" asked her mischievous interrogator.
Conscious of having made fair showing,
the girl was puzzled to answer SO unusual a
question. AT last she said, slowly:
"My grandmother died!"

If you expect good work from
your tools on the farm you must
keep them in good condition. This
is old and threadbare advice, but
may help by constant recalling. A
sharp ak saves strength and, of
course, does more and quicker exc
cution than dull implement. Look
after your tools as barber looks
after his razors. It will pay you to
do so.
