SLIPPERY FRENcHMAN's SCHEME

This story is told of Captain Mark
of the French army, says the New York
Sun, who is now charged with series
of frauds of all kinds, and who either
sold or pretended to sell pardons and
verdicts In military cases.
Captain Mark recently was on an eX-
cursion with two other officers and
their wives, and succeeded in avoiding
payment of his share of the expenses
The three men and the three women
had taken a motor car for the day on
the understanding that the car, lun-
cheon and dinner were to be paid TO-
by the three men. During the stoppage
for luncheon Captain Mark took Lieut..
A. aside, and, telling him confiden-
TALLY that he knew Maj. B to BE-
rather short of ready money, suggest
ed that it would be friendly act for
A. and Mark to divide expenses.
"You pay for the meals and I'll pay
for the car" said Lieut.. A at once.
A little later in the day Mark took
Major B aside.
a is rather hard up" he told
him. Don't you think we might divide
expenses?'
Certainly" said Major B.
"Well then, I'll settle for the car
said Captain Mark, you pay for the
meals.'
Major b paid for the meals, Lieut..
A for the car, and Mark paid
nothing.

A HANDICAP SEARCH

A clever girl who began home trollo
recently with the familiar peanut
search introduced the game with an
amusing little variation which alterea
and increased the fun. She called II q
handicap search, and arranged 1t III
this way:
Before beginning the game the names
of all players were written on separate
slips of paper. The mems names were
placed in one basket, those of the giris
in another. One slip was drawn from
each basket at the same time, ano
those whose names were thus coupled
on the paper became partners.
When all had been paired off each
couple was given handicap" namely
piece of tape half yard in length
The lady took one end of this, the gen
tleman the other, and so hampered they
set out when the signal bell rang IN
search for nuts.
only the free hand was used in col
lecting. the other being fully occupied
with the handicap, though couples were
allowed to change hands as often as
they liked.
Naturally the search progressed more
slowly than usual with all sorts OF
funny tangles and complications. The
two players who conjointly unearthed
the greatest number Of peanuts were
victorious, and each received an ap-
propriate prize.

NAMING The TWINS

The naming of twins was the subject
of an amusing story told by Lady Bal
four of Burleigh, at the annual meet
ing of the association for Promoting
the Training and Supply of Midwives.
"A friend of mine" she said, had
the good fortune-or misfortune-to
have threet sets of twins and as each
pair came the parents puzzled their
brains to discover suitable names FOR
them.
"The first pair. being girls. were
called Kate and Duplicate, the second.
a brace of boys, were named Peter
and Repeater, and the third, also boys,
Max and Climax.
"But the question then arose: What
II ther should be fourth, and even
a fifth pair? A young lady solved the
difficulty respecting the fourth by sug-
gesting Ann and Another; while in the
case of the fifth a well known author
ess came to the rescue by suggesting

HE WAS NOT WORRIED

At the last session of congress there
was very close division on an i'm
portant measure that was pending. A
Western member was fighting the bill
with all the vigor at his command, and
his success depended absolutely on his
presence at his post. A clever member
Of the opposition devised a scheme
whereby the troublesome man could
be lured away. Accordingly, says the
Washington Post, on the morning OF
the day the vote was to be taken a
telegram was sent to the hotel of the
fighting member. 1t read: Come home
Your wife dangerously ILL.," The con-
gressman glanced at it, read it care
fully two or three times, and then
started toward the capitol. The perpe-
traitor of the scheme asked the con-
gressman what the telegram contained
He showed it to him.

the face Of that you are going to the
capitol?'
"I am" was the cool response.
But don't you feel worried about

THE HILL CLiM 3

Fancy, childish in her play
Said to me the other day,
''If you climb yon hilltop high
You may touch the very sky;
Come, and let me lead the way!"
Sane denial deferred.
And took Fancy at her word;
Up the hill / followed her.
Passed the spreading juniper
And the silent grazing herd.
Half way up I paused and said,
GLADLY. Fancy, am l led!
When l reach the hilltop high
/ shall touch the very sky,
That seems now just Ger my headF
Blue above and green below!
What a rapture l did know
Letting Fancy have her way,
Wholly with her in her play,
I did upward, upward CO.
Soon my feet had climbed so high
That l saw the azure sky
CLEAN the very grasses through
That upon the long ridge grew,
And 1 felt that It was nigh.
Up went three PAGES more,
Three, and-looked the hilltop DER,
Saw the sky was far away
And heard Fancy, laughing say,
"Ahl you should have stopped beforeP
So it is we often do
often we too far pursue
Fancy, for the greatest good;
There's a point whereat we should
Stop and stay-how very truel

TOO MUCH REALISM

The poet sat upon his bed;
Twas summertime and warm;
winter cap enwrapped his mead
A heavy coat his form.
Said he "Ah mel Twas never worse"
His face was scarcely pleasing;
For he was writing winter verse;
And nearly dead of freezing.
Ere long, alasl he grew so cold
'Twas more than he could stand.
He waved his arms and wildly rolled
His eyes to beat the band.
Twas then he struck a cure in rhyme
And wild was his elatlon!
He wrote a song of summertime
And suffered heat prostration.
So on he toiled, nor cursed his lot,
Inscribing lines to please him;
A summer verse to make him hot,
A winter verse to freeze him;
Until at last there came a day
That solved the climate question;
He WROTE a long Thanksgiving lay
And died of indigestion.

OCTOBER

Down the b1eached hills the proud october
came, -, 80
Her scarlet cloak trailed round her as
she trod. ,
Before her swayed far fields of goldenrod'
Rehlnd her burned the sunsets lurid flame
Soft was her step and yet the rushes heard
Whisp'rings more closely by the fountain
pool. ,.., ,ooi
The lilies slept and from the garden cool
Rose the sweet sorrow of my mockins plrd.
And 10! My red rose of the fragrant heart
That Ger her lattice sweetened all my
June,
Grew tremulous beneath so pale moon
And one by one her petals fell apart
October came with gifts and garnered store
OF ripened garden and of golden held,
Orchard and hedge and pleach-ed Vlnero"
yield ,
Broad. creaking baskets heaped and running
Ger.
Well may my neighbors think no scorn of
me, .
So nobly hath mine autumn done her part.
Yet ahl My red rose of the fragrant heart
would give all this fruitage back for thee!
Margaret Houston in Ainslee's'
