ID ECENTLy, in an antique shop in New York, 6 copy of ''The London u\ Dispensstory," published over 250 years ago by one. Mich Cuipeper. was found. Here are few of the odd pre- and use of its readers:

 Passing hurriedly to the dining room he beheld-the dining room table stripped of it's cover. two chairs fin place and a deck of cards and a big pile of red. white and blue chips resting inyitingly on It's pol ished surfacel

 "Everything's all ready for a nice, quiet little sitting Homer. dear" she beamed. and you won't miss your beloved poker after all. I'm sure can learn the game fin very few minutes-if you'n just ex- plain 1t to me-
 Mr. Justwed hesitated between laughter snd teas-and ended by catching Mrs. J. in his arms.
 Then he sat down to initiate her Into the mysteries of poker.
 His patience was simply beatifc.
 Realizing that 1t was up to him." and being by nature and early environments something of a game youngster," Mir Justwed struggled nobly with the differ ence between three of a kind' and two pair" and the fact that one didn't actu- ally have to have jacks" to open-since anything better" would do the trick
 In the end he survived the ordeal
 He even went 80 far as to pretend that the rest of the boys were there-and dealt them hands and won their money. And when Mrs. J. laid down a "full-house. aces up," which he knew she had all the time-to his 'fuil-house on deuces." he en- thusiastically helped her rake in the Large and juicy pot"
 even suggested 'one more round," and was as pleased as a child with a new toy when Mrs. J. corralled the remainder of his chips.

 A recipe for preparing esrthworms is as follows:
 'Sli: them down the middle and wash them ID white wine so often till they be clennsed from their impurities. then dry and keep them for your use'
 After numerous other similarly profound suggestions, old Mich winds up with an apology:

 "oh, l sec" said Mir. J. in a spirit-is- willing but the-hesh weak tone. "If that Is the way you feel about it, I wouldn't think Of going. I'd ten thousand times rather be with you than"
 ''I don't believe 1t. I simply can't be- lleve it," Mrs. Justwed half sobbed, with a most significant move toward her hand kerchief. "I don't believe wfy, -actually-believe- tired-of-staying- ng-home-with-booh hoo!'
 Mir J. made a wild gesture like tearing his hair.
 ''Now, Blossom" he pleaded, do be sensiblel What an absurd statement to make-as though could possibly prefer to be any other place than with you! Why-why-"

 Mrs. J. dried her eyes. For long time she sat staring at the light. deep in the solution of some troublesome, weighty problem.
 Suddenly she smiled. One could almost hear her mental cry of "Eureka.'
 Silently she left the nving-room, and presently Mir. J. heard her fumbllug around fin the dining room The sound of chairs being moved came to him through

The Young Idea Shoots.

H CERTAIN fair young substitute In H one of the public schools of a large ~ Middle West city recently discov- cred that 1t Is preferable. perhaps. to spank the young Idea rather than to teach 1t to shoot by the new fangled methods of persuasion and kindness. Though the elucidating incident that brought her around to that way of thinking was one that she had to take seriously, she is still laughing at the mis- chievousness of the principal actor.
 He was not the proverbial freckled- faced, red-haired lad. from whom one naturally expects such pranks, but a golden haired. cherublc little boy, who really looked. as though butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.

T .S great mistake 10 allow a child
 to give a large party, as the result
 . often Is a nervous breakdown. caused by the attendant fatigue Rich food should not be served indiscriminately at children parties.

Another reason why the large party Is undesirable Is that the dust the children raise in their romp- ing gets into their threats. md has. often. q very injurious efIect.
