her count was thinking only of her

An editor bought this promptly and
sent the cynic substantial check.
Gaylord was the frenzied recipient
OF just one more teasing letter-and
then Mamie came home.

SAYS THE OWL

No man becomes a jailbird for a
lark.
The door of adversely is never
locked.
1t Is the doing, not the saying. that
makes the hero.
The proof of the buffer is in his
failure to make good.
1t is not necessarily true that the
worst Is yet to come.
The man who pleases only himself
has to supply the applause.
The man who lives twice as fast as
he should Is apt to see double.
The more style some people put on
the more collectors they put off.

How the Ostrich Travels.

Ordinarily two feet is the stride
of the ostrich, but when the bird Is
frightened 1t is known to have run &c
miles an hour. When 1t runs 1t takes
both feet off the ground at every
stride; its progress being made in a
series OF jumps so rapidly performed
that 1t seems one foot is on the
ground while the other is placed.
Birds of lesser leg length usually
cover four or five feet of ground at
every normal step.
