The Teachers Joke.

In school in Springfield, Mass, the
lady teacher had occasion to punish
one of the little boys for using pro-
fame language There being a knOthole
in the floor, she conceived the idea to
make him think he had got TO stand
near by with a pair of tongs and watch
until he caught a rat that should come
up from below. Stationing him, she
gave him strict injunctions to remain
until he accomplished the feat, calcu-
lating, Of course, after he had stood
there a couple of hours TO send him
to his seat. Two minutes after he
fastened the tongs to a genuine live
fellow of the rat kind, with enormous
whiskers and tail, and. holding him up,
exclaimed, by jings. I've caught him =

FEED ON POND LILIES.
Moose Are Exceedingly Fond Of These
Pretty Flowers.

Moose Are Exceedingly Fond Of These
Pretty Flowers.
At first thought it would appear i'm
possible that such large, gaunt deni-
zens of the forest as moose could in
are, however. exceedingly fond Of all
kinds Of water lilies. Few people
know that these flowers grow from
thick snake-like root stocks which are
so firmly attached to the bottom that
the strongest man cannot loosen them.
1t is from these firmly moored root
stocks that the much admired leaves
and flowers strive toward the light.
A well known naturalist who studied
the habits of the animals in northern
Minnesota, where moose are more nu-
merous than in any other part of the
world, often found two or three big
bulls engaged in gathering their morn
ing meal on the lake bottom. The
great beasts would slowly stalk about
in three or four feet of water. and
often their heads would be under water
for half a minute at a time, so that
their backs would look like powders
just protruding from the stream; then
a pair Of magnificent antlers would
come up, and the water would be
shaken out Of the big ears with a Zap
ping noise that could be heard for
quarter of a mile, and then the big,
long muzzle would be leisurely chew
ing a dripping mouthful Of water lily
leaves and other plants gathered from
the bottom.
So intent were the huge animals on
gathering flowers that several times
the naturalist could row up close
enough TO secure a good photograph
before they splashed noisily back to
the shore and disappeared in the black
spruce. When the moose find a good
lily pond they continue feeding in ii
until the plants are almost exter-
minated.-Minneapo Journal

Are You a Good Housekeeper?

Most good housekeepers know how
to select meats, vegetables and gro
ceries, but when it comes to laundry
soap, they take any kind just so it is
cheap. A good housekeeper will take
a soap between her thumb and fore
finger, if the cake is soft she casts
it aside. Easy Task soap is the favor
tie with most housekeepers, it's purity
makes it as hard as marble, yet the
slightest rubbing produces soft creamy
lather, just try a cake next wash day.

Cumberland, Md, May 21.-George
Martin, living near Hancock, so miles
east Of here, was killed by lightning
while sitting under an apple tree.
When the storm came up. two COM
panions remarked about the danger
from lightning and went into the
house near by. Martin said he would
stay where he was. and wished the
Lord would strike him with lightning.
In a few minutes a bolt shattered
the tree, killing Martin instantly. He
was about 80 years of age and was an
eccentric character Some times he
INDUCED in religious work and was a

He had a mania for buying old
horses and buggies at sales and could
be seen on the roads most any time
