Not What He Expected,

A doctor in a Yorkshire village late
v gave up his house, and was sue
3eeded in 1t by veterinary surgeon
Before he had been many weeks in
ais new home the vet" was awak-
med in the early hours of a rather
bleak spring morning. Opening the
window. he heard a voice call out OF
the darkness:
Can you come with me at once,
mister? She's very bad"
The surgeon dressed, and found a
trap waiting to take him to a farm
two or three miles away from the VII
lage. On the way he asked a few
questions about the case he was to
attend
I'm afraid there's very little hope
for her" said the farmer shes been
ailing now, you see, for ten years, and
she's getting pretty old as we'll"
Annoyed at being called out at such
an hour to see an obviously not very
valuable animal the veterinary sur.
geon exclaimed. "Why on earth don t
you shoot herr"
What" exclaimed the farmer
Shoot my mother"
Then the wet" understood that it
was the previous tenant who was
wanted .-Tit-Bits

IN LIVELY REUNION
MORE OR LESS JOYOUS GATHER.
ING OF CAT FAMILY.
Those Present Did Not Recognize One
Another as Relatives, but They
Mixed In Great Shape,
Nevertheless.

Mabel. aged ten years, planned it
all alone by herself. The family cat,
seven or eight months ago, had five
most interesting kittens and Mabel
was envied by all the other small girls
in North Delaware street, this envy
extending even to some girl acquaint'
ances in Pennsylvania and Alabama
streets. Mabel is a generous-hearted
little maid. She did not propose to
keep all these velvety-coated kittens
for herself. Her mother aided her
materially in coming to this conclu-
sion, while her father, with more vigor
and less finesse, said he was not pre-
pared for the opening of cat farm,
So Mabel distributed the five kittens
among five of her nearest and dearest
friends, while at least four times as
many little girls outside this favored
coterie were left lamenting
But that was nearly eight months
ago, The other day Mabel had bright
idea. 1t was arranged with her moth
er and came off one Thursday after
noon when the cook was taking her
usual half-holiday. 1t was a reunion
Of Polly's kittens How delighted she
would be to see them A simple menu
was prepared for this reunion which
was really something in the fashion
of a pink tea. Promptly at 2:30 p. M
the visitors arrived, each of the five
carrying her kitty and each kitty
trimmed out in gay ribbons to be
worthy of such a gala occasion. How
the kittens had grown! Kittens no
longer, but real cats.
The reunion was not at all what
the hostess and her friends had eX'
pected 1t should be. Polly's progeny
met as strangers, not as brothers and
sisters ought to meet. There was 4
little preliminary snaring and spit
ting AS an endeavor was made to IL
troduce these long-separated relatives
and when generous saucers of rich
cream were brought it was hoped
these disagreeable features of the FAM
fly reunion would vanish
But no sooner were the cats placed
upon the ground in coy little cor
ner under the grape arbor than the
real trouble began Spit! Spit! Spit
Y-e-o-w! The blue eyes of the kitties
changed from blue to yellow, then TO
glowing green. Then up, guards, and
at 'em! Such clawing, yowlirg and
splitting never before was heard at
any tea party in North Delaware
street. Vainly did the small girls try
TO separate their pets. The air was
filed with clouds Of cat hair, yellow,
black and gray Bitter words passed
among the young owners and epithets
of you mean thing" and TN never
speak to you again, We're freely
passed among the little girls.
The fight did not last long, but it
vas enough Suddenly the combat
lnts dispersed, jumping over the
1eighboring fences and their mis-
resses returned sobbing to their
homes.
And this was Mabels family reunion
which, like some things in human af-
airs. turned out so differently from

SM MIlE.

Smile when luck is breaking wrong, Chant a snatch or two of song, Cheerfulness will keep you strong -
 Where discontent will fail. Yours is not the hardest lot; Make the most of what you've got; Smile a bit for kicking's not
 A thing that will avail. Smile though dark and long the day, Knowing it's the only way: You can win out in the fray
 And conquer adverse luck If you wear a smile of cheer; Push ahead and persevere. Riding rough shod over fear
 And showing grit and pluck. Let the other fellow frown Who admits that he is down You may never gain renown.
 But smile and life's worth while. Laughter makes the heart beat young The pcssimist will die unsung, But you can be a man among
 Men if you only smile -C. F. McDonald in The Bookkecper

THE MAN WHO GOT UP.
More Crutehes Than That of the Wo- man Who Got the Seat in the
 Car.

The car had been a long time on its way down town and many passengers had come and gone. each seat as it was emptied being eagerly taken by one of the persons who were standing.
 Tucked away in the corner seat by the front door a sad faced man of mid dle age was sitting. He had been there a long time His boots were shiny but his trousers were sadly frayed His collar was clean but his coat was turn ing green. His tie was the hook on va riety. without a pin. and there was no sign of a watch guard about him. He had no paper with him and spent his time looking out of the car window.
 The car stopped at a corner and woman carrying crutch climbed on the front step and came in by the door next to the sad faced man. She did not seem to be lame exactly. as she held the crutch in her hand while she mounted the step unaided and pushed her way inside but she seemed tired. and was evidently vexed at finding the car full
 The sad faced man looked at her for moment and then he turned ques- tioningly to his fellow passengers. but no one offered the woman with the crutch a seat. After moments hesi- tation the sad faced man touched her on the elbow and reached for the strap above his head as he stood up and of fered her his seat.
 She took it without a word of thanks and arranged her gown as the man reached for another strap and swung 1,s, aIf cn hA peer through the windows of the car at the passing throng and watch for his stopping place, It came along pres .ently. and as the car slowed up he beg ged the passengers who had been sit ting next him to allow him to get something from under the seat.

Mother and Son Cured Five Years Ago F. Perfectly We'll Today.

Lung -Gcfminc Co.
 Jackson. Mich.
 Dear Sirs: As to the condition Of my self and mother. I can say that we are both in normal health. In the year 1902 we were cured Of genuine consumption by your Lung Germine. Before using Lung -Germinc we were treating with the best physicians in Jackson. but seemed to get no relief. to say nothing of cure. One physician told my father that nothing more could be done for my mother. she being in the last stage of consumption. I was in the second stage. Soon after getting this information Lung -Germine was recommended to us. and we both began it's use. The result was that we were both cured completely and permanently. No trouble of this kind has been noticed since we were cured. which Is now just about five years ago.
 I shall ever be enthusiastic over Lung Germine and recommend it to anyone who has lung trouble in any form. No matter how fsr the disease Is advanced believe it Ia never too late to give this medicine fair trial for it certainly has been successful in our cases. one of which was A most advanced one.
 Yours very truly.

Hanging on the wall behind the desk at the Holland House is d mahogany box about two feet long by one foot wide and deep. with an oval shaped hole in it lined with rubber. If you wait long enough you will see clerk fit his face into the hole. This Is one of those new telephone booths-one of the few that are to be seen about New York. and which it is said tho tel ephone company is fighting. Talking into one gives you an ostrich-like feel ing compared with the booth of the cupboard variety. but at the Holland House they say that the result is just as satisfactory as the other kind, and the ostrich booth takes up no room.
