have swept the coast during the past
half-hundred years, stands an aban-

in 1915 the Humane Society of Mas

the parent or the United States life
saving service. had Is stations on the
Massachusetts coast equipped with
boats and mortars for throwing lines

merous huts or houses Of refuge at ex-
posed points.

The stations were plain houses AZ

used by the crew, which later manned
each station. as a mess room. The
other contained the life boat and add
tional apparatus used at shipwrecks.
One OF the upper rooms WAS used as
chamber. the other as storeroom.

the original check given by Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon a few years ago to
a book agent, and about which an in
teresting story has been told.
2 An agent visited the speaker and in
terested him in an elaborate edition of
something which Uncle Joe didn't
want, but bought. When the books
arrived UncleaJoe examined them and
decided at once that something had
been put over on him. When the agent
came for his money the speaker de-
termlned to make him indorse a terse
sentiment on books, so he wrote out a
check for s7S, the amount due, and on
the back OF II he inscribed

price, but for the ease and grace with
which he put il over your Uncle Joe

CHICKS MATCHED IN POCKET

has befallen a Kirkcaldy (Scotland)
lady. She had arranged to go with a
friend 10 Edinburgh and after dress
ing herself and finding she had still
a few minutes to spare before train
time, she decided 10 have look at
two eggs which ought to have Matched
out the day before. Proceeding to the
garden she found the eggs still un-
Matched, and thinking they were I'M
fertile, che took out the eggs and put
one in each pocket of her ulster, with
a view of taking them to the house.
On reaching the door she found her
neighbor waiting for her with the in
formation that II would take them
all their time TO catch the train The
lady accordingly ran into the house
for her umbrella, and. forgetting all
about the eggs, proceeded with all
haste TO the station. On approaching
the ticket office she put her hand in
her pocket 10 get her purse when
she was shocked to find that she had
omitted to leave the eggs behind. Be
ing afraid that they might get broken
and spoil her dress, she throughout
the journey sat with a hand in each
pocket holding the eggs. The heat OF
