Then he read:
The worthy pastor appeared at the

he turned the leaves Of his prayer book

was lately told a delightful story
of a great statesman staying with
humble and anxious host who had In
vited a party Of simple and unimpor-
tant people to meet the great man.
The statesman came in late for din
ner and was introduced to the party.
He made a series Of old fashioned
bows in all directions, but no one felt
in a position to offer any observations.
The great man at the conclusion OF
the ceremony turned to his host and
said in tones that had often thrilled a
listening senate: what very conven-
lent jugs you have in your bedrooms
They pour we'll" The social frost
broke up, the company was delighted
to find that the great man was inter
ested in mundane matters of kind on
which every one might be permitted tc
have an opinion, and the conversation
starting from the humblest conven-
fences of daily life. melted insensibly
into more liberal subjects. Arthur q

Crows and strIngs.

1t was proved centuries ago that a
crow can count up to three and no
more. l met a farmer once who said
that his corn crop had not failed In
twenty years owing to his habit OF
stringing his field. He explained;
mo crow will enter an angle formed
by two strings stretched on poles. !
illustrated this to some friends sew
eral years ago by sowing small field
in corn for fodder, protecting it by
zigzag string running from one end to
the other. Within the angles formed
by the string not blade of the young
crop was touched, but close without
them, at each end, the whole crop was
demolished. A crow is a very wise
fool, and this is an effective and cheap
way of circumventing him. New

Hetty spent the remainder of the
day in her room. Fred and Ruth
waved their hands gayly when she
drove of to the station to meet Mr..
Stirling. How well they looked to-
gether, she thought. Something in the
sight stirred a strain of sadness in
her. She seemed to realize for the first
time that she had been cheated out Of
her girlhood.
Absorbed in her sad musings, she
absentmindedly took a turning which
made her drive longer by half mile.
When she reached the station Mr..
Stirling had already started for the
