Going Too Far.

At a school exhibition a juvenile
elocutionist got up to recite the first
piece of his life. He was ambitious.
He wished to make a great success of
his piece. and he had been told by
his teacher that the secret of elocution
was the gesture-for every phrase its
fitting gesture The opening line Of
the boys selection was, THE comet
lifts its tail Of fire." The overzealous
boy, to fit its proper gesture to this
line. lifted up the tail Of his coat and
held it out in a horizontal position.

A Business Asset.

The owner of the only red brick
building in a downtown block Of gray
buildings decided to paint his building
the prevailing tone. Without previous
announcement of his intention to the
tenants he sent the painters around on
Monday morning to begin work. When
the tenants learned his purpose.
mighty howl was raised by them.
"Change the color Of this build1ng!'
they exclaimed. "Why, this vivid red
is one Of our best business assets. 1t
helps to locate u.s. Being the only red
building in the neighborhood, 1t sticks
in the minds of people who can't re-
member the number. but who can di-
,ect others to us just because we are
doing business in red house. We have
stayed here all these years on account
of the conspicuous color. If that is
changed, we shall move"
The owner listened to these plants
patiently Then he went ahead and
painted the building but he painted i
a still brighter red-New York Press.

"Sure enough the identical words l

II right and his eldest son at my
left, when distant church bell
announced rather prematurely the
birth of the new year. Near me lay, ID
their figured caskets, the mummles OF
the noblest of ancient Egypt, and the
great kissing arc light outside the win
dows disclosed gently falling snow and
glinted or cast shadows of snow laden
brambles on the scores of marble fig
ures all around me.
I was the only living being in the
great museum of art, Central park,
New York city, where | was serving

the adventures that were to be mine

There had been silence for a few
minutes. The sexton of the distant
church, finding that no one followed
his lead, had stopped ringing. l
looked at my watch. One minute OF
midnight Ugh! How shivery cold it
was getting!
Suddenly there broke out the usual
din with which New York welcomes IN
the new year. Cannon, bells, steam
whistles and revolvers joined in the
noisemaking and amid it all l could
hear family the faroff chimes OF Trim

then from every pedestal around me
down jumped it's marble occupant

thump, but instantly stretching limbs
and yawning with great show of sat
