WHEN L0BSTERS WERE CHEAP
In Old Maine Days 90 Bought sevsra
Hundred az Feed for
tho PloS.

The lobster was not always the
Hristocrat of the supper table and
the most costly Of delicacies. A man
who used to live in Maine, but now
lives in Ohio, has this "reminiscences,
according to a writer in the Oleve-
land Leader:
One day here in Cleveland I took
a friends out to luncheon and sud-
denly the old appetite for lobster
came back to both Of us, as we were
both born on the Maine coast.
We had two full portions and the
bill was 80. And yet as boy I've
seen my father standing on the wharf
bargaining with fisherman for his
lobster catch of the day, and often,
for So, I've seen the lobster fisher
man turn over to my father the en-
tire catch and the whole boatoad-
$50 or 800 big, black Holsters, per-
haps-would be dumped on the land
ing and taken back on our old farm
as feed for the pigs.

ALWAYS HAPPENS THIS WAY
Man Carefully Preserves New Straw
Hat, Only to Got II Wet First
Time Out.

EVERY year when l get my new
straw hat to start the season with I
am at first very careful Of it. If the
weather is the least bit threatening
| don't wear it. Each morning I
scan the sky and II l see any portent
Of a shower, or if the wind is east
or there is any indication whatever
Of unsettled weather | don't wear
the straw, for | don't want to get it
wet. Once wet it Is never the same.
"And then on some day whereof
the morn is serene and sunny and
there is not the slightest sign of any
sort of weather l put my new hat
on and wear it, not ostentatiously
but Stili inwardly proud, and then
as sure as fate on that same after
noon we get a shower. And so, after
all my care, precaution and self-de-
nial, | get my new hat wet the first
time | wear it.

this is as it alwayS happens"

ACCUSTOMED TO ORDER.

The great baseball players wife
had never seen a game, but he final
ly persuaded her to view one in
which he was to play. He was do
ing his best, Of course. One strike
had been called on him and, as usual
in baseball anecdotes, two men were
out and the bases were full. Our
hero was gathering his strength for
the swat he was going to give the
ball. And the ball came. He knew
1t was his as the ball started, and
with mighty crack he lifted it into
space. Dropping his bat, he sped for
first, and ere the roar of applause
burst out, slight woman in the
grandstand rose and called "Will,

and had arrived at very critical
point when Phelps ran in his sordid
questions about numbers. 1t was a
provoking matter in the extreme, so,
in sharp tone she said; why, you
can do that-you understand that"
"No, ma'am, don't, said Phelps.
you do to, tell you You can do
that il you want to-" 81 can't do It.,
either, ii want to, retorted Phelps,
now thoroughly angered, phelps. ="
she exclaimed loudly, aren't you
ashamed OF yourself, sir? Go right
to your seat at once"
Now a strange fatality happened,
Phelps first teacher, Ignorant and
selfish as she was, had learned early
in Phelps career that he had a ner-
yous affection, which, when angered,
caused the muscles OF his face to
witch in very conspicuous manner
Marie Anderson knew it within an
hour after she saw him for the first
time, but Miss Noyes always alb
sOrbed in herself, never saw it until
this eyentful day, 1t was not very
noticeable except when he was
angered, so this day when Miss
Noyes ordered him to his seat in
such harsh tones he was so aroused
that his face drew into all sorts of
contortions, so that even Miss Noyes
could not fail to see it, Every child
in school knew of his affliction and
was so used to it they paid no at
tention to ordinary expressions.
When Miss Noyes saw it she i'm
medlately arrived at the conclusion
that Phelps was making faces" at
her, so she jumped up, jerked him
out of his seat, and without further
questioning, took him into the cloak
room and whipped him. The first
impression the principal had of the
trouble was a terrible thought that
a horse had fallen into the basement
and was struggling up the stairs.
Later, however, he was appealed to
for sympathy, as Phelps had tried to
defend himself with teeth and nails,
leaving several painful marks on
Miss Noyes hands.

NOSES IN JAPAN.

The nose plays very important
part in Japan, owing, probably, to
the fact that a difference in noses
constitutes about the only distinc-
ton between one Japanese and am
other. The nose is the only feature
which attracts attention. As there are
very few large noses to be found in
Japan, lady with large nose is
regarded as one specially gifted by
nature. She is invariably a reigning
beauty and the envy Of her less "a
vored sisters. In all Japanese pic
lures in which ladies are portrayed
the artists are particularly careful to
make the nose Of liberal dimensions.

Phelps And His Teachers.
PHELPS IN THE THIRD GRADE

Phelps had gone along smoothly
enough, though it was apparent to
his mother that he did not love his
teacher He had often tried but had
never found any response. OF course
Phelps did not know what the
trouble was nor did he bother his
mind with it. But one day he found
a combination in his number work
on which he thought he needed help,
so he went to Miss Moves and asked
her to show him how to do it,
Miss Noyes at that moment was
thinking out speech she wanted to
make that very night at the lodge
meeting of the Lady Highlanders,

District No. Z, Antelope Valley, at
the school house with the children

was followed by a splendid dinner,
such as only farmers know how to
give. Antelope Valley has the name
of having some of the finest cooks
in Seward county. Since Thanksgiy-

true. Thanks to Mrs. Seeley for an
extra good time.
