: HOW He FOUND THE KEY,
Brothers Method Was Simple, brs
. - Also Somewhat Costly.

Miss Dresswell had 1ust returned,
after spending a week with a country
friend. Imagine her CONSERVATION
when she discovered her previously
well-stocked wardrobe empty!
''Gracious, George!" she said to her
brother. where are all my clothes?
And what in the world is that great
black patch on the lawn?"
The face of George exhibited all the
well.known signs of conscious right
eousness, and he met her gaze un-
f1inchingly.
':Maria," he replied consolingly, "you
wrote to me that If wanted the key
of the billiard room should find it in
the pocket of your bolero."
Eyes, yes!"
"Well, l don't know bolero from a
fichu or a box pleat, so took all the
things to the lawn and burnt them.
Then I recovered the key from the
ashes."
She froze him with stare, and he
is now thawing slowly on the kitchen
stove.-Stray Stories.

Penny. "1'll be better at home
think likes not twas that heavy seed
cake set on my stummick."
Phoebe hid her face behind the cof-
fee-pot but said nothing.
AS the tip Of the funereal bonnet
worn by the old woman disappeared
over the hill which lay between the
house and the main road, Mrs. Wig
gers quantity gowned figure made it's
appearance at the gate. Phoebe.
dressed in a blue-and-white gingEam,
stood in the open door. She was
shading her eyes with her hand, and
her face was wreathed in smiles
who's that Josiah's drivin' off in
the buggy:' asked the viistor, sitting
down on the lower step of the back
piazza, and moving violently to and
fro the palm-leaf fan she carried.
Its mother-in-law," replied the girl.
She looked mischievously at the old
lady, and added: "She's got a sick
SPELL"
The piercing black eyes of the elder
woman were turned full on Phoebe's
face
'Cake?" she asked, tersely.
Mrs. Penny nodded.
HIM" exclaimed Mrs. Wigger, In
telligently. WELL I'm right glad you
done it," She shook all over with
suppressed laughter.
AS Josiah returned, after long and
dusty ride, to his home, he met Mrs.
Wigger leaving the house. She stopped
and, holding out a black-mittened hand,
remarked:
Its drefful pity wour mother had
to go home right in the middle of her
VISIT
Josiah looked quizzically at his wife
and, giving nervous hitch to his
trousers, stammered:
Eyes, vest; so 'tis drefful pity"
Then, as he walked into the CHEEKY
kitchen and the appetizing odor of
freshly-made gingerbread greeted his
nostrils, he expanded his chest and
drew long breath.
"Whats the matter, Josiah?" asked
Phoebe, smiling at him from behind
large dish of potatoes that she was
placing upon the table,

"the Lord knows, I've got more appe-
tite for meal of victuals than I've
had for two weeks"

Vegetable Horsehair,

Not long ago the farmers and cult.
vators in Algeria often went to con.
siderable expense to destroy the dwarf
palms which abound in that part of
Africa. Now, thanks to the constant
progress of practical science, these
same once despised plants have be.
come a source of wealth and are con.
sequently cultivated in their turn.
Their leaves furnish hbers from
which, by very simple processes, is
produced a substitute for horsehair in
the manufacture of mattresses and
OF the filling for cushions, chairs and
so forth. Other plants likewise fur.
nish fibers which are utilized for a
similar purpose, but the African dwarf
palm at present holds. the lead in this
industry.-Youth's Companion.

Missed His Vocation.

Reginald de Koven. the composer,
tells of a grocer and druggist who at
tended Wagner concert. AS the pro-
gram did not please them they began
talking on music in general and on
Wagner in particular.
"Another example of the fact that
every man wants to do something
out of his line," said the druggist.
"That's all right" assented the gro~
Ger. "Now, I'm a grocer, but I've al
ways wanted to be banker"
you'd probably fail," added the
druggist. Look at me. I'm a success
as druggist, yet I've always wanted
to write book. This man Wagner
tries his hand at music. Just listen
to it. And yet we all know he builds
good parlor cars!'-Success.

His Word Not Good.

John and Jim agreed to settle a.
difference by fighting it out. 1t was
understood that whoever wanted to
quit should cry thought" John got
Jim down and was hammering him
soundly, when Jim cried "'nough!"
But John paid no attention to his cry
and kept on pounding him. Again and
again Jim called out Enough! But
John paid no heed and kept busy with
his fists. A boy standing near asked:
"Why don't you let the feller up?
He's yelled "'nough!"
"But he's such a liar you can't be-
lieve him."

comfortably settled, then left the
room, carrying with her pile of
heavy dishes.
The tears trickled through Phoe-
be's fingers and dropped in tiny
salt lake on the kitchen table. Sud-
denly she looked up and fixed her
eyes meditatively on sittle closet, the
door of which stood invitingly open,
revealing shelf after shelf of neatly
arranged dishes and glass jars con.
