WHEN JOHNNY CAN'T HEAR
Boy at Play is Always Deaf When
His Mother Is Calling
Him.

Johnny"
That was his mother calling from a
window and Johnny playing in the
street, but Johnny didn't hear her.
And then:
Johnny! Come here
But Johnny is at this moment
reaching up to catch high ball and
his ears are closed to all calls; where
upon:
Johnny, do you hear me?''
But Johnny doesn't. He has caught
that ball and now he is fielding it to
another boy standing by tree. So
now:
Johnny" this time with a little
staccato In 1t, and perhaps a faint
suggestion of slipper.
And does that open Johnny's ears?
Why, he's at the bat now and pre-
pared to hit the ball swat that will
send it half way down the block. and
all things else are as naught to him.
But now hear the vigilant mother,
this time gently, for she knows that
boys will be boys:
Johnny want you to come in
now"
Johnny is at this moment running
like wild man, or boy, making for
that tree he was throwing at mo-
ment ago and utterly oblivious of
everything in the world, the parental
voice included But that cleaves the
air again now:

Johnny is standing with one foot at
the root of the tree and the other foot
extended, all ready to jump and run
when the boy at the bat hits the ball.
Johnny"
And Johnny runs like all pos
sessed, not for home, but for the base,
and there he stands, while from the
window comes again the voice:

was ready for him when he entered
the dining room. Somes was there
in attendance as usual A pile of
morning papers lay on the buffet.
Gormly made step toward them; but
checked himself.
Why" he thought. should spoil
my breakfast by reading what the
newspapers have to say on the i'm
portant subject of my confession? The
news will keep. Let me at least eat
in peace"
beg pardon, SIR" began Somes
deferentially; but aren't you going to
look over the papers. sir. before you
eat?"
mo, thank you, Somes, can guess
pretty well what they will say"
But Somes was unusually per.
sistent as we'll as greatly agitated.
He had been up early and had read
every scrap in every paper.

it'll add to your appetite If you will

Gormly shook his head and frowned
a little.

somewhat shortly. 81 will see the pa.

mark, the man naturally subsidized,

You mustn't take this thing so
greatly to heart, Somes." said Gormly
at last.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Something to Live Up To.

Gormly was usually an early riser;
but on the morning before election
day he slept until an unprecedentedly
late hour. He was>utterly worn out
with the strain of the campaign, any
way, and the occurrences of this last
night had almost Frustrated him.
There was ordinarily nothing much to
be done on the next day, the Monday
preceding election day. One final
meeting was scheduled for Monday
night, and that was all.
1t was perhaps nine o'clock when
he woke up. He was soon bathed and
dressed. He had signaled, as was his

Not Sufficiently Eager.

A little miss Of five years was under
the ban Of disobedience. She had been
told to put away her playthings, as It
was near bed time. She did not obey
the demand. and, when forced to do
SO, gave way to petulant display Of
temper. Her father, who was up
stairs, heard the commotion, and, be-
ing made acquainted with the cause,
summoned the child to his presence.
1rma started to the stairs, but sud-
denly made turn, dashed along the
hall, and out Of the house. OF course
she was soon captured, but her excite
ment was SO great that she was put to
bod at once. Mothers effort soothed
the child and then she was asked:
"Why did you run away when your
father called you?" The reply came
promptly enough: "You don't sup
pose, mamma, that wanted whip
ing bad enough to go upstairs after
it,"

Efficiency In shovellng.

For the first class shoveler there is a
given shovel load at which he will do
his biggest days work. What Is this
shovel load? Will first class man
do more work per day with shovel
load of s, 10, Is, 20. Is, 80 or 40
pounds? Now, this is question which
can be answered only through care
fully made experiments. BY first Sc
lecting two or three flrst-class shovel
ers, paying them extra wages for do.
ing trustworthy work, and then grad
ually varying the shovel load and hay
ing all the conditions accompanying
the work carefully observed for sew.
eral weeks at time by men who are
used to experimenting, it was found
that first class man would do his
biggest days work with shovel load
of about 21 pounds. For instance,
that this man would shovel a larger
tonnage per day with 21 pound load
than with 24-pound load or with an
18-pound load on his shovel. 1t is, of
course, evident that no shoveler can
always take load of exactly 81
pounds on his shovel, but neverthe-
less, although his load may vary three
or four pounds one way or the other,
either below or above the 81 pounds,
the shoveler will do his biggest days
work when his average for the day is
about 81 pounds.-American Magazine
