Her Garnc Efockec.

The timld looking little woman on
the Euclid car noticed that her purse
was not in her bag where she had
placed II. Instead. ii was hanging from
her arm on "a chain-hanging In full
view where it would tempt the nimble
fingers Of the pickpockets assigned TO
that beat With great fOrethought she
picked up the purse and started to put
ii in the bag But the purse didn't go
In, because IL was attached TO the arm
of the persimmony faced woman stand
ing next to her. or course the woman
with the bag stopped right there and
dropped the strangers purse.
You'd better let that alone" spoke up
the persimmony faced woman. I've
been watching you ever since you got
on, and you needn't think l didn't see
what you were trying 10 do."-Cleve'

SEA AND LAND.
This Way They Meet and Clash and
Finally Harmonic.

In "The Wonderful Adventures OF
Nils" translated from the Swedish Of
Belma Lagerlof by Velma Swanston
Howard, Is the following pretty de-
rcription Of how sea and land meet:
You see that sea and land can meet
in many different ways. In many
places the land comes down toward
the sea with fat, tufted meadows, and
the sea meets the land with flying
sand, which piles up in mounds and
drifts. 1t appears as though they both
disllked each other so much that they
possessed. But 1t can also happen
that when the land comes toward the
sea It raises a wall Of hills In front OF
il. as though the sea were something
dangerous. When the land does this,
the sea comes up TO 1t with fiery wrath
and beats and roars and lashes against
the rocks and looks as If it would tear
the land hill to pieces
But In Bleklnge it is altogether differ
ent when sea and land meet. There
the land breaks itself up into points
and islands and islets, and the sea di-
yides itself into fiords and bays and
sounds, and 1t is perhaps this which
makes it look as If they must meet in
happiness and harmony.
Think now first and foremost Of the
sea! Far out it lies desolate and emp
ty and big and has nothing else to do
but to roll its gray pillows. When 1t
comes toward the land II happens
across the first obstacle. This 1t imme-
diately overpowers, tears away every
thing green and makes it as gray as
itself. Then it meets still another
obstacle. With this 1t does the same
thing. And still another-yes, the
same thing happens to this also. 1t Is
stripped and plundered as II 1t had
fallen into robbers hands. Then the
obstacles come nearer and nearer to-
gether. and then the sea must under
stand that the land sends toward 1t
her llttlest children In order to move 1t
TO pity. II also becomes more friendly
the farther In it comes, rolls its waves
less high, moderates It's storms, lets
the green things stay In cracks and
crevices, separates itself into small
sounds and inlets and becomes at last
SO harmless in the land that little
boats dare venture out upon 1t. 1t GER
tainly cannot recognize itself, so mild
and friendly has 1t grown.

Mr.. Stedman gives two stanzas:

Landward i'm his wrath he scourges the

He left by night the frozen zone
And smote the cliffs Of Labrador.
He lashed the coasts on either hand,
And betwixt. the Cape and Newfoundland,
Into the bays his armies pour.
All this impersonation and fancy are
translated by the weather bureau into
something like this:
