4 Frank ReplY.

Walter l. Smith, who recently be came judge of the Eighth judicial cir cult. enjoys good story even when it Is at his own expense. He had warm contest in the primaries when he was candidate for reelection to congress In 1910, his opponent being one of the insurgents. He had few votes to spare for the nomination.
 Before the election, said Judge Smith. T wrote n letter to all the Re publicans in the district. In 1t urged them to come out and vote. saying that 5000 Republicans failed to vote at the primaries and that if they failed to vote on election day it might mean disaster to the party. l asked the person to whom the letter was ad- dressed to vote and also to get his neighbors to do the same. closing with the statement that 1t would be q great help to the Republican, party and l should regard it as a personal favor to myself.
 Among the replies l received was CODY of my own letter with a blue pencil mark round the words 5000 Republicans failed to vote at the pri maries. and this written at the bot tom, It's - good thing for you they did 2"

JUST GRUBBINe

Too many folks who do not have to do so spend most of their time and most of their life just erubbing" We here refer not 10 the class that are handicapped financially and are con- pelled to grub, but to very large class that have more acres than they need, big red barns and bank accounts. yet who. in spite of this. delve and toil, deny themselves recreation. outings, holidays and not only the luxurles but many of the comforts of life. They forget that life is not measured by what one Is able to save or to squeeze out of it. but by what 1t is possible to contribute and put into it They seem to overlook the fact, too. that t does not take so very many years of this just grubbing" to put crook in ones back, take the elasticity out of ones step and dwarf or entirely ex- tinguish ones capacity to enjoy things. More than this, they have at best but time dead So why scratch and scrimp and hoard and deny oneself whole some food, decent clothing and share in life's good things that are really worth while just to get title to a little more land and to bigger bank account when the whole works will be left for heirs to divide or squabble over? There are whole lot of fools outside of asylums for idiots and the feeble minded. and some of the biggest in the category are those who put in most of their lives just grubblng."

A Disturbed Taste.

The neighbors having dropped in In formally upon the Suthrons during the evening, Mrs. Suthron suggests that If her husband will gather some mint from the mint bed in the garden she will mix for them a genuine Kentucky Iulep. Mir. Suthron, who has indulged in u matter of seven or eight genuine Kentucky juleps prior to the arrival of the guests, goes willingly In search of the desired garnishment for the drink. He remains in the garden quite awhile. and finally the others go out to ascertain what causes the delay.
 Why don't you bring the mint. dear?" his wife calls.
 From somewhere in the darkness comes the testy response:
 Jane. I've eaten my way twice around this lot. I've chewed geranium caves. grass, catnip. tulips. onions. sage and burdock. but blamed if l can find a sprig of mint anywhere. "-Na- rional Monthly.

Choate is 10 open his mouth, drop in dinner and up comes your speech.
 Mr Ghoate thanked the senator fol his compliment and then said, MT. Depew says if you will open my mouth and drop in dinner up will come q speech. but warn you that if you open your mouths and drop in one of Senator Depew's speeches up will come your dinners

Converting a Sksptie.

David Hume. the famous Scottish philosopher and skeptic. once for a short time involuntarily posed as an out and out Christian. and the story Of very temporary conversion to or thodoxy is amusing.
 Having fallen into a swamp at the back of Edinburgh castle. he called for assistance 10 a woman who was pass Ing. At first she took no notice, but presently she asked:
 Are na ye Hume the atheist?"
 'Weel. weel. no matter" Hume said. Christian charity commands you to do good to every one
 Christian charity here or Christian charity there" the woman said. ''I'll do naething for you till you turn a Christian yourself-ye maun repeat the Lords Prayer and the Creed or faith I'll let ye grafel tgroyeD there as l found ye.'
 And he had to repeat them.

The Heroine of the Tale.

When Congressman j. Hampton Moore was a reporter in Philadelphia he was assigned one night to go out and get a human interest story about a woman who had died at the age Of eighty eight. leaving twin sister. with whom she had lived for fifty years. as sole survivor of an old family
 The house stood opposite cemetery on the outskirts of the town. and Moore wished as he pulled aside the crane 10 ring the bell. that his city editor wouldn't be so fertile with his ideas of human interest stories. A woman friend of the aged sisters open cd the door and ushered ] Hampton into the parlor. over in one corner of which rested the dead sister in her coffin.
 The neighbor seemed to feel 1t was np to her to entertain the reporter while he was waiting for the other sister to drag herself in for the inter- view. By way of small talk the wom- an motioned with her thumb in the direction of the coffin and remarked. That's the lady that died"
 'I suspected as much" replied Moore. Philadelphia Record.

SOME ARGUMENTS FOR IT.

The writer does not remember sea- son in good many years when so many conditions seemed to urge the wisdom of installing silos all through the corn belt In the first place. ow- ing to the shortage in the hay crop, roughage of most every kind is likely to be high priced Again. II Is possi- ble that many fields in the drought afflicted sections will be short in ears and that to realize what one ought from the whole corn plant 1t should be put into a silo. It Is patent that this fall. if ever, it will be the height of folly to allow 40 per cent of the value of the corn pant to bleach ana % to waste in the fields. Of course II is better if the corn is cut than not. but it is better put into silo than put in shock and exposed to uncertain weather conditions. One of the strong ast arguments in favor of installing a silo now. before the 1911 corn crop Is ready to shred, is that 1t will provlue q sncculent ration during the winter months and next summer. when there is possibility of just such dry spell as We are now having. The Job or filling the silo can be cheapened as well as simplified if three or four neigbbors install them and unite in the purchase of the equipment used ID shredding and filling

Sir John Fisher. who recently re- signed as first sea lord of England. is a bluff. blunt. old fashioned seaman. about whom anecdotes cluster as bees on honeycomb.
