Why They swapped Eines.

Travellers In Europe are limited by
the railroads to small amount OF bag
gage carried free. In n train in Bel
GUM two fellow travellers got into con-
versation, when one asked leave to
measure the others trunk. The result
was that the measurer said:
Your trunk is seven and half CEN
timeters. too long and has no right to
be in the compartment OF free luggage.
I am railway inspector and must
fine you francs. Please give me your
name and address"
The proposed victim OF misplaced
confidence was. however. equal to the
occasion.
Kindly lend me your measure that
I may satisfy myself on the subject"
Then. with a polite smile: At am a
director in the royal weights and meas
ures office. To my great regret I no
tice that your measure is not stamped.
US is required by law, so that, firstly.
your measuring is not legally valid.
and, secondly. 1t IS my painful duty to
subject you to a fine OF 90 francs
Please give me your name and adj

again Us little child. interested In one
thing at 4 time as II that were the
only thing. Instead of whlrling all
the time dizzily on the rim OF life. we
must take frequent times to get back
to the center again for our bearings
back to the silent center whence we
came At that silent center we find
all our child faculties waiting to be
recognized and appropriated.
Many cases of failing memory are
mistaken ones. due to unreasonable
expectations.
How many grownups forget rs many
times day as any child does!
The trouble is we expect or try to
compel ourselves TO remember great
burden of inconsequent and irrelevant
things that the brightest child on earth
could not remember. and we are SO
preoccupied trying to carry these
things In mind that our minds are
half absent. at least from the new
things that are happening now and
that ought to have our full attention.

admirably together were It not that
with the advent of the Fairies both
began to cast covetous eyes upon one
bright particular star.
And their mutual dread each that
the other might win the favor Of Miss
Serena was the real root of the ami
mostly which inspired Mr.. Ferris and
animated Mr., Davis.
Not that up to the time that the
black curtain Of silent wrath descend
ed between them either had made con-
fidential mention Of his hopes. but GER
tain 1t was that. the morning after
Miss Fairlie had attended the concert
with Mr.. Ferris. Mr.. Davis resented
the presence OF the dog OF Mr.. Ferris
on his front lawn and sent word to
that gentleman to keep his ours at
home.
Equally certain it is that, subse-
quent to the occasion when Miss Fair
lie danced twice with Mr.. Davis. Mr..
Ferris sent due warning that II his
neishbor's hens again intruded upon
his property they would be promptly
decapitated.
Then the deaf aunt and the deafer
servant OF Mr.. Ferris and the house.

better days took up the feud. and SO
from the little acorn OF rivalry spranS

Perhaps there was no one who stood
so absolutely within the shadow cast
by this tree rs Frank Heatherly. who
was the nephew OF Mr.. Davis and was
clerk in the real estate Office Of Mr..
Ferris.
BE was well set up young fellow
OF about thirty. who had q wonderful
knack Of knowing what not to say and
when not to say It, for both men
confded IN him. and after it became
known that Miss Falrle had fallen
heir to snug legacy each announced
to Frank his decision to bring his mat
rimonIal campaign to climax.
The money has nothing to do with
my resolution" Mr.. Ferris declared.

you smiling at?"
Did smile, sir?"
II don't care dash for her money!
Mr.. Davis informed his nephew. MY
rents bring me in quite sum yearly.
What are you srinning about?"
II shall ask her the night OF the
spring dance" Mr.. Ferris decided
'No girl in her senses would consider
that fat old widower when she might
