point is very common. The pieces

Somewhat Humorous Explanation for
Loudly Expressed Sorrow.

Miss Mary c. McCulloch, super
visor of kindergartens for the board
of education, told this one to the
Saunterer:
when child starts to school, 1t is
provided with a blank to be filled in
by Its parents. Only simple questions
are asked, such as the date and place
of the child's birth, the nativity of its
parents, etc.
Little Susie was given one Of these
blanks, with the other new scholars.
when she applied for admission to one
Of the kindergartens In the North End.
All were told to have the blanks filed
out and return them to the school the
next morning.
When Susie came to kindergarten
the day following something was
wrong. She began crying almost as
soon as she entered the room, and
refused to be comforted. The cause
of her grief did not develop until the
blanks were called for. Then little
Susie sobbed

AsPERsIoN ON THE SECRETARY.
Serious Auditor Misinterpreted the VI.
vaclty of Bonaparte.

Charles J. Bonaparte, attorney gen.
eral of the United States, was presid-
ing at a meeting of the civic reform
league in New York, May, 1905, where
sequence of long, dull papers were
presented. Between papers Mr.. Bona

of the audience with humorous refer

Dictated his French ancestry
But-and here hangs the story
there was one in the audience to whom
Mr.. Bonaparte's name and work were
unknown, who contemplated these
mannerisms with growing disapprov-
al. He was a serious minded, be-spec-
tacled man, tall and spare, with a
vagrant wisp of gray hair rising from
much rubbed and wrinkled forehead,
and who seemed deeply interested in
the overly dull papers until Mr.. Bona
parte began to enliven the dullness,
when his whole attention was directed
to the distinguished cabinet officer. He
glanced at his program and then back
to Mr.. Bonaparte, and finally turning
to his neighbor, asked: who Is the
presiding officer?"
"Ah! Bonaparte," said he reflective
ly upon being informed, and, after fur
ther grave contemplation, addressed
his neighbor thus:

HOME AS SEEN IN TWO LIGHTS
Sexes Have Varying Ways Of Looking
at Sacred Thing.

The home is the kernel of life.
There is no danger that daughters will
despise marriage and a home. They
will take to 1t only too readily when
the magic hour strikes, but parents
may well deliberate before they wan
tonly strengthen girls innate ten
dency to seek a home of her own. For
there is a sweet dignity of maiden
hood and womanhood which is sac
rifced in an inordinate quest for a
husband and home.
With sons it is different. Many men
need to have the home principle fos-
tered and built up. They must be
made not only good hearted, but must
have their nomadic instincts carefully
repressed and taught to center around
the sacred idea of home.
Then, when once the notion of home
and its paramount Importance is fixed
in his mind, young man is perfectly
free to go forth and find a maiden to
share it.-Woman's Life.
