NoA AS IL Read.

A certain M. P, as proud and fond
as q man should be of his beautiful
young wife, was just about rising to
speak in debate when telegram was
put into his hands. He read it, left
the house, jumped into a cab, drove to
Charing Cross and took the train to
Dover. Next day he returned home

What are you talking about?"
"Read it for yourself" said he.
She read: 81 flee with Mr.. x. to Do

For the moment words would not

Arpropriate Sentiment.

Many years ago the energetic
Professor Schwarz was conducting
musical society. They were study
ing Mendelssohn's elijah" and had
reached the chorus, CLEAR us, Baal /;
hear, mighty god"
The mems voices were booming
out generously when the conductor
cried out: 'ENo, no! De dreadful
vowel! Don't say Bale. Soften
a leetle. Give de more musical
sound-Ball''-
Whereupon the chorus took up
the strain again, "Hear us Bawl--
hear us Bawlp' But they quickly
realized the peculiar fitness of the
sentiment and broke down in laugh
ter, to the great amazement of the
little German, who never saw the
joke, but who returned reluctantly
to the old pronunciation.

When Does Reason Dawn?

AS there must be q point back along

links in the chain no doubt we might
approximately at least determine the
point or the form In which it first
dawned. The higher anthrOpoid apes,

the lower orders, Is more q kind Of

Is without reason or any mental con-

Queer Eyes.

Nature makes some strange pro
visions for fish that have to feel OF
see their way at great depths. Deep
soundings in the Caribbean sea
bring up really uncanny specimens
Of this kind. Among them is a
fish that has two convex lenses in
place of eyes. These lenses are very
bright, of a golden hue and CLEAN
in the sunlight. Another fish, a
large one, has eyes that grow on
stems sticking out several inches
from the head. Another has an
eye on a stem about half yard
long. The stem is flexible and may
be waved in any direction. Some Of
the Caribbean sea fishes have eyes
that shine like lanterns.

IuGunnent Mas Confirmed.
Attorney for plaintiff.

A certain old time justice of the
peace, wishing to bring suit against a
citizen, consulted the statutes and
found that suits of such a character
might be brought before any justice
of the peace
"Well, them" thought he, "I'll just
try the case myself"
Straightway he made out a writ
against his adversary and signed it.
On the day set for trial the defendant
appeared with counsel. Both gentle
men not unnaturally objected to the
constitution of the court.
"Why," demanded the justice, "do
you deny that I am Justice of the
peaceW
The lawyer would not contest this
point, but argued that such construc-
ton of the law was against all sense
and reason.
A vigorous alteration ensued, and
then the judge remarked that not Tor
the world would he have two gentle
men suppose him governed, by any per.
sonal considerations. 81 will there

judgment against myself and then

reaffirmed"

What David Said.

A country clergyman kept q
young servant lad. One Sunday
morning before service he gave him
his orders about the dinner and
said:
eco to neighbor David and ask
him for me to let you have some
tripe on credit, and then prepare
me nice plateful."
The lad did as he was told, and
the clergyman went to conduct the
service. AS he stood in the pulpit
he called out in the middle of his
sermon:
"And on this subject, brethren,
what does David say?"
At that moment his little valet
stepped into the church, and, in the
belief that his master was address
ing him, he replied:
''Please, sir, he says, No money,
no tripep "-London Answers.

BOBBYS CHANCE.
He Returned From the Party Bringing
His Sheavcs With Him.

F1IS SheaVCs win him.
Little Robert, aged four, present
ed his mother with a large sized
shock the other day. 1t was a case
of sowing a mild little breeze and
reaping full grown whirlwind.
Robert is Mrs. BIS first and has
always had a large front seat in her
affections. Even when Mrs. B. at
tended parties she remembered
Robert and would slip a bit of can
dy into her handkerchief to carry
home to him.
Not that Robert did not have as
much candy of his own as was good
for him-and more, too-but he
took an awed delight in anything
which came from a party. So his
mother always produced some SOU
venir of her modest social dissipa-
tions with which to satisfy Robert.
A few weeks ago Robert himself
went to a party, his very first. A
maid brought him home and left
him, together with large paper
bag, in the eager arms of his well
coming mother. The first rapture
of description had scarcely begun
when Mrs. B. became conscious of
the bulky bag.
"Why, Robert, what's this"
cts for you. I brought it to you
from the party"
With some misgiving Mrs. B.
opened the bag. It contained a
large orange, nuts, candy, grapes,
cakes-in fact, a very respectable
assortment of refreshments suited
to the juvenile taste.
Robert had supposed it was quite
the usual thing to take little con-
soling items to the unlimited mem
bers of ones family, and he had
taken generous delight in securing
a truly noble collection for his
mother.
That lady faced the double prob
lem of explaining the situation to
Roberts hostess and of presenting
to Robert a clear reason why what
was sauce for the goose, SO to speak,
was totally different thing for the
gander. The explanation, which
simmered down, of course, to a
question of size or quantity was far
from being clear to Robert, who is
low in his mind and thinks he does
not care for society at all.-New
York Sun.

A YOUTHFUL HERO.
How Major croehan Won Fame In tbs
War Of 1912

Only a few names escape oblivion,
but Aug. 2, 1918, insured lasting
fame for Major George Croghan
Ninety-three years later, on Aug. 2,
1906, the remains Of this youthful
hero were reinterred on the site of
his great victory.
During the war Of 1912 Croghan,
a handsome, spirited Kentuckian,
was sent by General Harrison to
take command of poor little stock
ade, Fort Stephenson, at Lower
Sandusky, now Fremont, 0. The
place was important only because
it guarded the approach to Harri-
sons headquarters and stores up
the Sandusky river.
On the morning of Aug. 1 Gen
eral Proctor, the British COM
mander, with 500 regulars, veteran
troops who had served under We'll
lington on the peninsula, sailed up
the river in gunboats of Commodore
Barclays fleet and landed cannon
and howitzers, with which they be-
gan to lombard the fort. Mean
while Tecumseh, with 700 Indians,
swarmed through the woods and be-
gan the attack from the opposite
side. To one of less sanguine
temperament or of less courage than
the young commander the situation
must have seemed hopeless. But
Croghan not only showed confidence
himself, but inspired it in those un-
der him.
Crogran had 100 men and one
small cannon, which he moved
about from place to place to induce
the belief that he had several guns.
Late in the afternoon of the I'd the
enemy made a united assault. So
valiantly and effectively was it re-
pulsed that the whole British and
Indian force made precipitate re-
treat into Canada.
cit will not be the least of Gen
eral Proctor's notifications" wrote
Harrison, "to know that he has been
baf1ed by youth who has just pass
ed his twenty-frst year. He is,
however, hero worthy Of his gal
liant uncle, General George Rogers
Clark"
Croghan himself wrote just be-
fore the battle: "The enemy are not
far distant. l expect an attack. |
will defend this post to the last ex-
tremity. have just sent away the
women and children with the sick
of the garrison, that l may be able
to act without incumbrance. Be
satisfied / shall, l hope, do my duty.
The example set me by my Revolu-
tionary kindred is before me. Let
me die rather than prove unworthy
of their name"
The battle of Fort Stephenson
was the first really brilliant effort
of the war of 1912. General Sher-
man said it was "the necessary pre-
cursor to Perry's victory on the lake
and Harrison's triumphant victory
at the Thames, which assured to
our immediate ancestors the mas
terry of the great west, and from
that day to this the west has been
the bulwark of the nation"
For his exploit Croghan was bre-
vetted lieutenant colonel by the
president of the United States, and
congress awarded him gold medal
youths Companion.
