The Moonrakers.

I'm the English county of Wiltshire y
said q customs official, the natives
are called .moonrakerS.' There's a
Wiltshire story, over q century old,
about some rustics who were found
one night rabing away in a pond at
the reflection Of the moon, which they
took for a cheese.
That's a very goo story, very
funny skit on the men of Wiltshire,
but ask a Wiltshire man about it and
with a contented chuckle he will say:
"'Oh, yes, people tell as how they
give the name O 'moonrakers' to US
Wiltshire people bekase passel o
stoopids one night tried to rake the
shadder O. the moon out o the brook,
takin' it for thin cheese. But that's
the wrong end O the story. It's alto
sether the wrong end. Them chaps
as was doin' this was smugglers and
they was hshin' up some kegs O bran
dy and only pretended to rake out a
cheese. The policeman rs axed 'em
what they was about had good laugh
at 'em, bat. by Harry! they had a
better laugh at him when they got
home with the stuff.

inquired Senator Dolliver Of Senator
Clapp Of Minnesota.
American Beauties, guess replied
Senator Clapp.
Dolliver knew better than that, so
he heartily thanked the people for
their attention, applause and splendid
flowers
When they met in Washington after

BEAUTIFUL LEAVES.
And tho Tiny Cells That Give Them
Their Brilliant Hues.

And tho Tiny Cells That Give ihem
Their Brilliant Hues.
A leaf is one Of the most beautiful
things in nature, and it is very Won
derful to think that It owes its lovely
color to minute little living bodies or
cells Of chlorophyll. This word comes
from two Greek ones, chloros, green,
and phullon, q leaf, and is used to
describe the ordinary colocing matter
of vegetation.
The chlorophyu cells or granules
absorb the light and heat of the suns
rays and in some marvellous way,
which only scientists can understand,
manufacture the sugar which IS neces-
sary for the life Of the tree itself by
combining the carbonic acid gas Of the
atmosphere with the water drawn in
by its roots. These tiny cells are 50
very small that as many as 100000
have been counted in O square MILL
meter Of the leaf Of castor oil plant,
and in order that they may come IN
contact with as much sunlight as pos
sible the leaf turns slightly on Its stalk
toward the sun.
IF you notice the arrangement Of the
leaves on a bough you will see that
nature has placed them so that they
form an almost perfect Eight screen
and catch all the sunshine that there
IS. If it were not for the constant
work of these little chlorophyn cells
the splendid trees in our forests would
wither and die and there would be no
green things left in the World.-Lon-

Why He Wept.

A man who was walking through a
train inadvertently left the door Of one
Of the cars open. 4 big man sitting in
a seat in the middle of the car yelled:
"Shut the door. you fool! Were you
raised in a barn."
The man who had left the door open
closed it and then, dropping into q
seat, buried his face in his hands and
began to weep. The big man looked
somewhat uncomfortab Bile and, rising.
finally walked up to the weeper and
tapped him on the shoulder.
'A1y friend" he said, II didn't intend
to hurt your feelings. just wanted
you to close the door,"
The man who was weeping raised
his head and grinned. "Old man." he
said, tI'm not crying because you hurt
my feelings, but because you asked me
If I was raised in barn. The sad
fact is that was raised in a barn, and
every time hear an ass bray It makes
me homesick."-Louisville Times.

The Speedier Way.

He simply couldn't help it. He was
born lazy.
AS rule, if not too sleepy, he could
get through a shave in about thirty
Eve minutes. But today, after only
fourteen hours sleep, he appeared even
more sluggish than ever. AS he ap-
piled the lather to his customers
beard his brush fingered haltingly, as
though loath to leave the stubby chin
to which it was being applied.
His customer was a patient man and
stood this for q considerable while.
But at last his patience began to ooze,
and he interrupted forty winks' In
terval with a cough.
"S'ere, lad" he suggested, "Aa've an
idea. Hold your hand, keep tha brush
still, an aa'll wag ma head for ye!'

Maxine Things Hum In Rone.

Making Things HUM IN Home.
The Romans had three recognized
methods Of applauding-the bombus,
the imbrices and the testae. The WORD
bombus did not carry any audslon to
explosives. On the contrary, this form
Of applause was the most decorous, IN
asmuch as it consisted merely OF a
humming or buzzing noise. Thus In a
way the Romans were the first ito
make things hum" in public assem-
bly,. The bombus was not the chlef
feature the Romans had to offer in the
way Of applause. The imbrices meant
a demonstration made with the hollow
Of the hands. The testae meant the
striking together Of the fiat portions Of
the hands. From this we may con-
clude that the Romans clapped, but
there is no certainty on this point

Commercial Alumni Does Not Expect Invitation to Banquet of Academic Alumni

l.. B. Matthias, B. S., B. c. S., prin- cipal of the commercial department of the Bridgeport High School, made the following statement today:
 ''The article published in a news paper not the Farmer, in regard to the B. H. s. Commercial Alumni having a grievance on account of not being in- vited to participate in the banquet to be given by the Academic Alumni on December 27. is incorrect and without authority from any officer of the Com mercial Alumni Association. From the inception of the Academic Alumni As sociation. it has been fully understood that it was to include only the aca- demic graduates just as the Commer- cial Alumni Association includes only. the commercial graduates. If they were to combine, no banquet hall In Bridgeport would be large enough to accommodate them. When the Com mercial Alumni held their banquet at The Stratfield last winter the Aca- denies were not invited because 1t was not intended for them; neither is this banquet. intended for the Commercials. At that banquet a permanent Organi- zation of the Commercial Alumni was effected and a committee was ap- pointed to arrange for a similar func- tion to be held this winter. The two bouquets will not conflict in any way as there is no rivalry, and the person who wrote the article in the paper was not fully informed"
