And Each and Every Member There

The house was cold. There was no
mlstaking that fact
If the rest of the family had not as
certalned the state of affairs from
their own feelings they could easily
have observed 1t from the way father
stormed around. Every ten or Fifteen
minutes he went down the cellar and
swore at the furnace, after which he
would return and lecture the family.
The furnace didn't seem to mind It,
but the family did, and at length he
became unbearable. The family became
panic stricken. They feared that fa-
ther might go crazy and commit suicide
Or something else equally awful
81 think something must be the mat
ter with the furnace" ventured moth
er.
That's just like a womanw yelled
father. "HOw In the name of Bill Taft

Mother did not reply, but rushed up

Is so much warmth about mission fur

bit old fashioned. 'The trouble is with

II can't understand It," said father.
ut was all right six months ago"
at was summer then" suggested the
baby with the gentle stress Of baby
hood.
Father was about 60 hurl bootjack
at baby when his eye struck the ther-
mometer. simultaneously his mind
struck an idea with fearful force.
For a moment he was thoughtful.
Father, be it said, admitted without
argument that he was the only simon
pure, ne plus ultra logiclan of the
household. 1t took him but moment
TO analyze his new idea. Why hadn't
he thought of it before? Why, 20 be
sure, the thermometer was the cause,
for was not the house cold every time
the thermometer registered at n low
figure? And was not the thermometer
now registered at low figure? Why,
Of cOursel Certainly! How stupid!
Whereupon he threw the thermome-
ter out of the window, put on his coat
and went TO the club confident that
henceforward everything would be all
