PAUL HAD HIS OWN IDEA.
Fathers Explanation Of Lightning Not
Satisfactory to Him.

Little Paul was four years old when
the western city in which he lived was
swept one night by q terrible storm.
Wind, thunder and lightning played
havoc. and, while other members OF
tho family were huddled in dark cor.
ners. Paul watched the illumination OF
the sky with great delight, The next
morning at breakfast he asked his
father what caused the streaks of fire
across the sky, and his father. with
great pains, essayed to explain. Paul
listened attentlvely and apparently
accepted what was told him, but, when
he found attention diverted from him
self, he leaned over to his aunt, who
sat beside him. and whispered:
1T wasn't that. auntie 1t was God

mail order house Is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
a home merchant without examining
the goods, but will often send his
money to a mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented. How often this
faith Is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods of.

That there is no color line among

That a real nice poodle is splendid

That the "yaller cur Is sometimes ad

That it is as hard to change the hab-

That the value OF some dogs can he es-

That some people are more particular
about the pedigree of their dog than
they are of their own children.
That good breeding shows in dogs as

That some people arc more particular
