SHE BENT THE BUILDING.

MT. and Mrs. Aschenbrenner were touring Europe and had just arrived at Pisa. Mrs. Aschenbrenner was all excited upon reaching the leaning tower of Pisa, and eagerly battered up the spiral stairway, leaving her husband languidly awaiting her 're- turn.

 He was just pondering on the beautiful flow of the unintelligible language used by their guide when from the topmost rampant came the Hi-lee, Hi-lo" trill of his wife, who was leaning far out and waving a scarf.
 Mir. Aschenbrenner obligingly looked up and then came to life with an anguished roar:
