A small, quiet, but sorrowful if

as large touring car came along,
driven by man with an interroga.
tory aspect. The man in the tour

time he passed that day so he slowed
up and leaned over:

Several hours"

"Oh, no."
"How's your commutator?"
Great"
Perhaps your worm gear is

No; all clear"
Got any gasoline in your tank?'
Plenty"
How about your circulation?
Cylinder isn't bound is it?"
No, sir"
Tires all right?"
Never better"

That's all right"
Have you looked at your car

YES"
How about the cam shaft?"
Grand"
Have you frightened your con-
Meeting rods, examined your clutches

Yes, yes"
The man in the touring car paused
a moment and then, looking at the
stranger by the roadside, said at
last: What's the matter wit
that machine of yours?"
There isn't anything the matter
with this machine; but since noon
my wife has been in that house over

The Only One

An Englishman sat outside cafe
in European city and remarked
casually to a llow-Englishman,
"Oh, the emperor is hopeless
idiot" Instantly man, who prov
ed to be a plain clothes policeman,
rose from an adjacent seat, and
said: Sir, | arrest you for lese
majestic" MY dear chap" said
the Englishman. Il didn't mean

emperors in the world, surely!'

Things of the Past
l don't want to play in your yard

| don't want to play in your yard,
don't like you any more,
You'll be sorry when you see me
Sliding down our cellar door;
You can't holler down our rain
barrel.
You can't climb our apple tree;
| don't want to play in your yard
If you don't be good to me.
The song is dead. 1t was laid to
rest dozen years ago. Did the
song cause the cellar door and rain
barrel to die also, or did the passing
of the door and barrel cause the
death of the song? No one knows.
At any rate, all three are dead.
Have you ever in 1910 heard a
disgruntled miss threatening her
playmate next door by telling him
that he couldn't slide down the
cellar door or holler down the rain
barrel at her house? 1t wouldn't t
have any effect on the offender
now, you know, for slanting cellar
doors and the old oaken barrel
under the spout at the corner Of
house are things of the past.
Perhaps you hadn't missed the two
things that were the delights of
your playmate and yourself years
ago. Many people do not know
that the cellar and the rain barrel
are antiquities.
Every day we tell people who
want them put on their houses
that they are out of date" said
an architect yesterday afternoon.
Now, when we put outside steps
into the cellar at all we put an
open ramp of concrete around the
opening with steps of solid concrete.
A good drain in the bottom of the
hole carries off all water. The
absence of the musty old doors
gives opportunity for lighting the
basement by having a glass door at
the foot of the stairs. The slanting
doors were bound to go. They
were hard to handle, often being
heavy, and frequently it was incon-
yenient for the woman of the house
to go outside to gain access to the
basement. So now we put an in
side way in almost all houses. The
doors, water tight when first built,
soon became soaked and only made
the cellar damp and musty. The
new system throws no obstruction
in the way of the laundress as she
mounts the stairs with a basket of
clean clothes to hang on the line.
The old rain barrel is replaced
by a concrete cistern, equipped
with a charcoal filter in which the
water from the roof is purified
before it passes into the cistern.
The cellar door and the rain
barrel which have played part in
literature will be followed soon
into oblivion by the broom. On all
high. class jobs we are now INSTALL
ing private vacuum cleaning systems,
and some day the broom will cease
to be common household imple-
ment." ...
With the cellar door and the rain
barrel gone, and now that the chill
dren are amusing themselves with
other things, it is plain to be seen
that the age is in need of another
song, similar to the one quoted
above. Why not something like
this:
don't want to play on your lawn,
will like you ne'er again;
I'll tell papa not to take you
Out in our new aeroplane;
You can't ride my Teddy wagon,
You can't hear my dog say
Please"
I'll not let you use my rollers
In the evenings gentle breeze.
