 After that the willow leg seemed to have really started to grow, and often when Aunt Rhinocolura went out for the day she would have to be hauled home, for her real foot would get all tangled up in the sprouts of the wooden leg, and she couldn't walk six feet without tripping, and the left side of her skirt would bell out as if blown by a breeze, when it was only crowded out by the sprouts of the wooden leg.
 Aunt Rhinocolura said she wouldn't have minded if the leg had not been so much work She said it was pleas ant to waken in the morning and see the fresh green leaves at her bed side, but that when leg got so that it had to be pruned every half hour it had certain inconveniences.

 Aunt Rhinocolura is one of the kind est-hearted ladies in Betzville, and she would never in the world have | thought of tearing down that nest and 1 destroying the little eggs, but she couldn't think of any good way in which she could wear the leg without disturbing the wrens. It would sound all right in work of fiction to say she put the leg on and that the wren continued to hatch her eggs while Aunt Rhinocolura went to the sewing society or trod the light faptastic toe at Philemon Jones' barn dance, but the fact is that even summer weight wooden leg goes thumpty- thump, and that is no good for eggs that are hatching. A wren may love its little home in willow tree, but it cannot be happy if the tree goes pumping about the country.
 So Aunt Rhinocolura hopped back into the house and sent for Bildad Cubb, and ordered a new Lightweight, non-sproutable leg Then she had the willow leg carefully removed to the back yard and planted there. and it is growing finely, and is one of the most interesting sights in Betzville. | Copyright, 1909. by W. c.

Why is 1t that mans hat has
 band. and why is 1t this band has bow invariably on the left side?
 The answer is that there was a time when Q piece of cloth adjusted to the head and tied with a band of other material served for headpiece. The reason the bow was always placed on the left side had its origin in the fact that in yielding a sword-an accom-. plishment possessed by nearly every. one of consequence at one period of the worlds history-the bow or rosette. if placed on the right side would have been in the way. Its present day utility Is that 1t keeps most men from wearing their hats hind side before. and although with most hats that would not matter. with most heads 1t does.-The Sunday Magazine.
