ADDED to after she had f1shed for an
hour without a bite or a sight Of the
other boat. Then came an Interrupt
ton. She hooked what she believed
was a whale, and in her excitement
she rose up and tumbled into the wa
ter with a great splash. The boat
did not go over, and she soon had her
hands on it. But to draw herself up
was another matter. She could not
do 1t. She could only hang on and
think Of sharks.
She had been clinging for half an
hour when boat suddenly appeared
in sight, and at the top Of her voice
she called out to be saved. She called
once, twice, thrice, and then the boat
was beside her, and Mr.. Clarence Den
ton was lifting her In by the shoulders.
He said no word until she was In and
then asked:
"Does 1t always have this effect on
deaf and dumb peopleT
81 can't say as to others, but 1 have
surely found my voice." was the saucy
reply.
"Well, that's worth the wetting 1

waiting for you to call. AS you may
lose your voice again If not taken care
Of, will accompany you home"
After Mr. Denton had been an al
most daily caller at Towser's for three
weeks and pretty constant guest at
the dinner table Aunt Rebeeca beck
oned Miss Jessie out behind the cur
rant bushes one evening and said:
IF you haven't lost your voice again
you'd better tell him that I'm willing,
Uncle Joe's willing and that your
father is one of the willingest men in
the world Then you'd better be will
ing, too, for it's high time a big girl
like you was stepping off,"

The kine,s Premature Death.

The leading tragedian of a small
company playing in an unimportant
English village felt himself hard up
one evening for a man to walk on in
the first act of historical bloodcur-
der and say to him, my lord, the king
is ILL.," and to appear in the last act
with the information, my lord, the
king is dead" So the leading TRACE
dian took an active and fairly passable
stage hand on one side and, engaging
him for an extra shilling or two, In
structed him carefully upon the artis-
tic responsibilities Of his new duties.
Nov, mind you," he said, "the first
time you come on you say, My lord.
the king is ILL., and the second time
you come on you say, My lord, the
king is dead" That's all right,
guv'norP exclaimed the unshaven re-
cruit, growing visibly larger in the
chest with the magnitude Of his pro-
motion. And then ''the night came,
and In the 1rst act on staggered the
dusty debutant, with the dread line,
uttered hurriedly, but in prodigious
voice, "My lord, the king is deadT
"Oh, is he?" snarled the leading TRACE
dian, turning upon the much befeather-
ed messenger look of eternal hatred.

blooming partP

WHAT Hs Could Do.

During the South African war there
was a young officer just from Stand
hurst who was attached to General
French's staff. The young fellow has
himself achieved some distinction since
then and shall be nameless. At that
time he was fresh and fidgety and was
always imagining constant menace
Of attack by the Beers, whom he IN
variably pronounced "Bores." rms
pronunciation General French had IN
vain tried to correct, and 1t gradually
got on his nerves One day the young Of
ficer came to the general to report that
he believed he could make out through
his f,eldglass quite as many as twenty
ssRores" hid in the rocks above his
camp. "Bores, you say?' inquired the
general. Eyes. sir. Bores. Can do

Marr;ana In Picardx.

A Picardy custom, founded on
broad basis Of common sense as well
as the idea of complete partnership, Is
that which puts new bride through a
kind of examination In the trade OF her
husband. 1t may. Of course, have be-
come something Of burlesque, and
the bride may purposely show less dex-
terity than she need. Still, the consid-
Grafton of the wife as a helpmate Is
very clearly shown in the performance.
If the young wife's husband be farm
err. she will be asked to harness
horse and cart and to harrow small
piece of land If her choice has fallen
on an iron worker, she must hammer
piece of iron: if on a miller, she must
measure out wheat from basket at
the church door; if on smith. she is
supposed to be able to strike the anvil;
sf on a sailor, she has to clean and
mend some netting, and so on with the
other occupations. Evidently the keep
ing of an idle wife is not understood In
Picardy.-T. P.'s London Weekly.

The first reel that was Invented was
the hand reel, the yarn being wound
into skeins by turning the wheel and
fastening the skeins after counting a
sufficient number Of strands. The fax
was first woven into thread or yarn
on the spinning Wheel then the bob
bins full of yarn were placed on the
hand reel and yarn wound off them on
to the wheels into skeins. The strands
were carefully counted and the liebeD
fastened on them to keep them togeth-
er. The lieben was a thread running
across the skeins to keep them in
place.
A later invention was the clock reel
with face on which numbers were
printed, and it had two hands like a
clock. When the wheel was turned,
reeling off the strands from the bobbin,
the clock would tick when a certain
number of strands were wound on the
reel, and the housewife, instead of
tediously counting the threads, as on
the earlier invented reel, would fasten
on the lieben.
In quaint old ballad entitled Mis-
tress Polly at the Reel" occurs this re-
frain:
He kissed Mistress Polly as the clock reel
licked,
the kissing being done at the propi-
tious moment when Mistress Polly
was busy fastening on the lieben.

Whale and Elephant Meat.

There is something unpleasant about
the thought of eating whale meat, but
it is said that the reality is very pala-
table. Japan has quite a trade In
canned and sailed whale meat, and
there is to be campaign to educate
the European peoples to like it. Some
whaling companies have distributed
from their headquarters samples OF
canned whale meat, and those VINO
have eaten it describe it as tenderer
than beef and much like it In taste.
Whale steak seems no queerer than
Frankfort sausage made out Of an ele-
plant. which is what some German
people have been eating. An enter
prising butcher over there. hearing
that an unruly elephant in the Client
geological gardens was to be killed,
engaged the carcass. He made 3,oU
pounds of sausage out of 1t and sold
every pound at good prices.
