DROPPED TRUNKFUL OF G's
Peculiar Exhibit Used by Mrs. Bill
tops for the Reformation OF
Her Husband.

Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops to her
admiring husband, Il have something
here that ] desire you should see"
and as she spoke she threw back the
lid Of big trunk in the storeroom.
The trunk was full, level full, of
vast number of little things of uni
form size that might have been oats
or grains of wheat, but which upon
little closer inspection seemed to be
small type letters.
They are letters, Ezra" said Mrs.
Billtops; they are the g's you have
dropped In the last three years."
And the meaning of this exhibit
was clear to Mr.. Billtops instantly;
he was not really dull man; 1t was
not necessary to hit him with maui
to make him understand things. Mr..
Billtops has always been great man
for dropping his g's. Whether from
carelessness or laziness or economy
OF his speech, or whatever his prompt
ing, he has always said SEEM for
seeing, and beln' for being, and dom
for doing, and this has always dis
turbed Mrs. Billtops. Time and again
she has sought to get him in this re-
spect to mend his ways, but habit has
proved too strong for him, and SO
finally she resolved to give him an OBJ
ject lesson.
Three years ago, Ezra" she said,
"unbeknown to you began gathering
up the g's you dropped in speaking.
| started out to keep them in an empty
fruit jar, but l soon found that
wouldn't do, in fact l was appalled,
by the number I collected.
Il found that much as you had dis
turbed me in this way / had still
never realized how bad you were; SO
| began storing them in this trunk,
and here you see, Ezra, trunkful
of g's that you have dropped in three
years. Don't you think that is terri
ble?"
Mr.. Billtops freely admitted that it
certainly was; and then and there in
the presence of that open trunk he
vowed reform. If she would throw
away those g's, he said, right now, to
the last one, he would most earnestly
endeavor always to remember to make
1t ever impossible for her to start an
other collection.

The kurdish way win Railroads.

Railroads are running two-thirds o!
