Aunt Hepz. abs Explanation.

Aunt Hepzibah was usually a
careful housewife, and things sell
dom went wrong under her man
agement, but one evening she left
the lid off the big canister in which
she kept her best oolong tea, and
half grown cat crept inside of it
and slept on the fragrant contents
Aunt Hepzibah's horror on dis
covering it the next morning was
heightened by the fact that she
was entertaining a friend who was
particularly fond of tea and always
used it for breakfast. The nearest
grocery store was half a mile away,
and nothing could be done to repair
the mischief.
'1'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Wye
koff," she said to her guest at
breakfast time, "but something
happened to my oolong last night,
and I've nothing to offer you to
take its place but-cat-nap tea.
You'd rather have coffee than that,
I'm sure"
The guest preferred the coffee,
and the story never leaked out un-
til Aunt Hepzibah told it herself

Rapidly Amerieanized.

An Englishman temporarily liv-
ing in Boston took his small son to
the top of Bunker Hill and pre-
pared to give him the British YER
sion of the historic fight at that
point. His story, however, remain
ed untold, the following question
and answer alone being exchanged
between the loyal subject of the
British crown and his youthful off,
spring, who had been a resident of
this country less than six months:
'Now, my son, do you know
what event took place a hundred
years ago where we are now stand
ing?" asked the fond parent.
You bet I do" was the prompt
reply. 'This is where we licked the
stufin' out of the English!"-Bos-

His Bright Idea.

Pat was digging a ditch. On the
first day OF the job he dug and dug,
but made small progress. He went
back next morning only to find that
what he had done the day before
was entirely wiped out by cave-in'
Then a brilliant idea occurred to
Pat. Half burying his pick and
shovel in the earth, leaving only
the ends sticking out, he carefully
threw his coat and dinner pail over
the edge of the cave-in and then
hid. In a short time people came
along, took in the situation at a
glance, jumped at the conclusion
that the laborer had been caught in
the fall of the bank and went to
work hastily, trying to uncover his
body. Half an hour later three
sweating and puzzled men stood by
the nearly completed ditch and won
dered where the buried man was
Then Pat came out from his retire
ment and said: "Thank ye, gentle
men. I knowed you'd bite on that. "

of a torrid afternoon in June, was
attempting to arouse the interest
of her languid class by giving, as
she supposed, an interesting talk on

forts were wasted. Feeling utterly

Painfully Polite.

The people of Dresden are very
polite, so very polite that they not
infrequently bring down ridicule
upon themselves. 1t used to be told
in that city that a stranger was one
day crossing the great bridge that
spans the Elbe and asked a native
to direct him to a certain church
which he wished to find.
REALLY, my dear sir" said the
Dresdener, bowing low, Il grieve
greatly to say it, but l cannot tell
YOU"
The stranger passed on, a little
surprised at this voluble answer to
a simple question. He had proceed
ed but short distance when he
heard hurried footsteps behind him
and, turning round. saw the same
man running to catch up with him.
In moment his pursuer was by
his side, his breath nearly gone, but
enough left to say hurriedly: "My
dear sir, you asked me how you
could find the church, and it panied
me to have to say that I did not
know. Just now I met my brother,
but l grieve to say that he did not
know either"

saered Geese Of Rome.

The tradition of the "sacred
geese Of old Rome" is that when
the Gauls invaded Rome a detach-
ment, in single file, climbed up the
hill of the capital SO silently that
the foremost man reached the top
without being challenged. But
while he was striding over the ram
part some sacred geese, disturbed
by the noise, began to cackle and
thus awoke the garrison. Marcus
Manlius rushed to the wall and
hurled the fellow over the preci-
pice. To commemorate the event
the Romans carried a golden goose
in procession to the capitol every
year.-New York American.

His Deep Concern.

The kind old lady noticed a small
lad entering a cobbler's with a small
package.
"What have you there, sonny?'
she asked kindly.
'Ma's slipper" replied the lad:
"You see, there is tack out OF
place in it, and I want to have it
fixed before ma notices it.
"Ah, what a considerate little
boy! I suppose you are afraid the
tack might hurt your mothers
.foot?"
"Well, it isn't exactly that. You
see, the tack is sticking out on the
sole, and this is the slipper ma
spanks me with" Chicago News.

WASHINGTON IRVING.
He Was an Utter Failure as - After
Dinner Speaker.

Washington Irving was not a
ready after dinner speaker. The
author of american Bookmen"
says that he Stunned public ap-
pearances. Yet when Dickens came
to New York in 1912 Irving could
not escape presiding at the great
dinner in his honor. They had al
ready become friends through cor
respondence, for Irving's delight in
Little Nell had to be expressed in
a letter to the author, and Dickens,
in his enthusiastic response, had
said:
Diedrich Knickerbocker'
1 have worn to death in my pocket,
and yet l should show you his mu-
tilated carcass with JOY beyond
expression"
The night of the public dinner
came, and Irving's dread of the in
troductory speech kept him mur-
muring throughout the repast, i
shall certainly break down"
At the proper time he rose to his
feet, began bravely, but could utter
only a few sentences, and ended by
taking refuge in the announcement
of the toast:
"Charles Dickens, the guest OF
the nation"
The applause was generous, and
Irving took his seat.
"There," he said, '1 told you
should break down, and l have done
itw
Later, while on his way to Mad,
rid. he found himself called upon
at the dinner of the literary fund
in London to respond to the toast
"Washington Irving and American
literature" All he could say in ac'
acknowledgement of an enthusiastic
reception was:
81 beg to return you my very sin,
cere thanks"
One Englishman at the table was
heard to make the laconic comment.
"Brief."
"Yes," said another beside him.
'but you can tell the gentleman in
the very tone of his voice."

NOTES OF ANIMALS.
The Theory Of One Writer About the
Oriain Of Music.


Music did not have its birth
"when Jubal struck the corded
SHE'LL" as ignorant humanity has
been led to suppose.
Music originated in the cry OF
the peacock, the bleat of the goat
and the croak of the frog. Accord
ing to an interesting article on the
relationship between music and
emotion, which appears in the An
mails of Psychical Science, DR.. Hen
ry Fotherby, the writer, also sug-
gests that the appreciation of tim"
and rhythm in music may be due t.
the rhythmic shock of the heart ;
beat on the circulation.
The nerves, he says, may play an
important part in the appreciation
of musical sounds, and he points
out the connection between the
nerves and music by the tendency
to express music when heard by
movements of the head and arms
and sometimes by the trunk and
legs.
DR.. Fotherby gives a feasible
reason for the fact that the lower
notes of the scale have always been
employed to describe anger, fear
and reverence, while the treble
notes have been associated with
sunshine. light heartedness, socia'
bility and love. The lower notes
associate themselves with the
growls of wild beasts, the moan Of
the wind in the forest, the roar Of
thunder. The upper notes initiate
the songs of birds, the chirp of the
grasshopper, the hum of insect life
"Thc Hindoo note Sa, CORE

"Ga, or E, d, or F, were the
cries of the gost and the crane re-
spectively and were associated with
compassion and love.

notes of the elephant and the frog

Mutual Dislike.

Brahms and Tschaikowskv, the
famous musicians, met but twice.
On the last occasion Brahms was
sufficiently interested in Tschai-
kowsky's fifth symphony to travel
expressly to Hamburg in order to
make its acquaintance. After the
performance the distinguished COM
,rcsers dined together, and the con-
Ecientious Brahms frankly admit
ted that he did not like the work
at all, whereupon the usually meek
Russian plucked up sufficient cour-
age to inform his host that the dis
like of each others music was mu-
tual. They parted on excellent
terms nevertheless.

INSISTED ON JUSTICE.
Some One Had to Suffer TO Satisfy the
judges Conscience.

As burglar was trying to break
into a house of a citizen of an
oriental city the framework OF the
second story window to which he
chung gave way, and he fell and
broke his leg. Limping before the
Justice the next day, he Indignantly
demanded that the owner of the
house be punished.
"You shall have justice" said the
judge.
The owner, being summoned.
claimed that the accident was due
to the poor woodwork and that the
carpenter, not he, was to blame.
"That sounds reasonable" said
the Judge. 'Let the carpenter be
called"
The carpenter admitted that the
window was defective. "But how
could I do better" said he, when
the mason work was out of plumb?'
"To be sure" replied the judge,
and he sent for the mason.
The mason could not deny that
the copirog was crooked. He ex'
planned t 1T while he was placing
it in post. q his attention was dis.
tracted fro,. is work by a pretty
girl in a blue Nnic who passed on
the other side 0 \the street.
"T., blamelcss," said
the judge, and the girl was sent
for.
"I admit said she, "that l an
pretty, but that's not my fault, anc
if the blue tunic attracted the ma
sons attention the dyer, not /, i:

'That's good logic" said the
judge. 'Let the dyer be called"
The dyer came and pleaded
guilty.
"Take the wretch" said the
judge to the thief, "and hang hin
from his own doorpost."
The people applauded this wise
sentence and hurried off to carry il
out. Soon they returned and re
ported that the dyer was too tall tt
be hung from his doorpost.
"Find a short dyer and hang hin
instead" said the Judge, with {
yawn. "Lct justice be done at an!
cost"

The secret of mental health and

obedience to a few rules. Here they
are: 1. Cultivate sound, health Gre

sufficient time in which to do your
work. 8. Hold in reserve a surplus
store of nervous energy by keeping
within the limits of your organiza-
