Jordan. III I would only set my hand
to the task. Well. to be frank. had
long cherished the idea myself that
possessed the ability to do some
thing worth while In the way OF pro-
viding material for the stage. Like
SO many Of my fellow laborers in the
journalistic field. however, I found It
exceedingly difncult to secure the
time which was necessary for the pro
duction Of a drama. The best ! could
do was to steal an hour now and then
to devote to the great work. This l
did faithfully and zealousiy. and. after
two years of study and earnest en-
deavor my play began to near COM

LIVE UNDER THE SAME ROOF
Then, and Not Until Then, VIII You
Become Really Acquainted
With Your Friends.

Two households may stand side by
side on the same street. two families
live within hailing distance OF one
another for years in the same COM
munity. and yet have opposite tastes.
sentiments and convictions. The chill
dren of each growing up together may
marry and, until they reach the period
of new adjustment, never suspect how
antagonistic has been their early
training This Is one reason why the
first year Of marriage Is so beset with
briars and thorns. Everybody knows
that until people actually dwell under
the same roof they do not mutually
become acquainted. A single week
spent with friend at house party
does more to promote intimacy or in
difference than years of superficial
social intercourse.
The touch-and-go meetings Incl
dental to teas and receptions are the
merest suggestions Of personality,
but when one sits day after day be-
side the fire or at the table with a
neighbor, each ceasing to be on
guard, real understanding begins.
Even correspondence. which to a de-
gree Is in the nature Of revelation,
does not make people SO well ac-
quainted and Is by no means SO true
test Of disposition and tempera-
ment as the test Of living together.
During courtship and betrothal an en-
gagged pair are on probation. Without
effort each displays qualities of charm
that cannot fail to be att. active. The
most ordinary speech has a flavor Of
compliment. The future husband and
wife are walking through a land Of
dreams. Shall the dreams come true?
They surely will II on both sides there
are fixed principles of honor, justice
and fidelity.-Mrs. Sangster in Won
ans Home Companion.

GOOD REMEDY FOR HICC0UGH
Stopped Instantly by Small Guam
tIty Of Powdered Sugar.

Hiccough is sudden and spasmodic
contraction of the diaphragm, deter
mining q brusQue shock to the walls
OF the abdominal and thoracic cavity,
and Is accompanied by rough and
inarticulate sound caused by the sud
den closure and sonorous vibration OF
tho vocal cords.
ployed against the disagreeable symp-
toms there is one recommended by
DIR. Petit of Beaumont, France, which,
although not really new, is but little
known. 1t has the merit of being ex-
tremely simple and is said to be re-
markably efficacious.
1t consists simply in swallowing as
quickly as possible tablespoonful of
powdered sugar without any admixture
with water. The hiccough will be i'm
mediately stopped. II II comes on
again. the same remedy again will be
found successful.
What is the action of the powdered
sugar? Probably It sets up kind Of
reflex action. The sugar certainly
plays no specific role In this case, and
II Is probable that any inert powder
would have the same effect.
DR.. Petit has made use Of this rem
sdy for some years, and It has rarely
failed Accordingly he recommends
recourse to 1t even when the case of
hiccoughs may have resisted all the
standard remedies.

Honorable Jimmy. II had been rain

then shot forward Crashing into the
little postoffice, we smashed the front
of the shop clean through and knocked
down the village postman. 1t was
then that the Honorable Jimmy
showed what he was made OF. He
jumped out Of the car. and, advancing
to the terrified girl behind the coun-
ter, said in his blandest voice:

HE Lost Five Dollar Bill Found In
Two Places, and His Conscience
Elastic.

III anybody but Greene had told me
this wouldn't have believed II, and
wouldn't have believed him IL II had
happened to anybody but Greene"
said the man. The other day Greene
lost five dollars. When he got home
he began to figure out where he might
have lost II. There was a chance every
time he took out his pocketbook. He
had had his pocketbook in his hand.
he remembered. when he left the drug
store at One Hundred and Fourth
street, and again when he left the for
lists at One Hundred and First street.
/, IN order to expedite the search
Greene telephoned the news of his
loss to the druggist. The druggist was
very accommodating. He promised to
put the whole drug store force on the
Job and to telephone back the result
as soon as the premises had been
thoroughly searched.
while waiting for q message from
the druggist Greene telephoned to the
florist. and received similar assur-
ances Of cooperation. In about FIVE
minutes the druggist called up. The
Ave dollars had been found lying un-
der the edge Of dry goods box on the
pavement and would be handed over
to Greene.
Greene jumped into his coat and
grabbed his hat, but before he got to
the door the florist telephoned that
the five dollars had been found in the
ash can just outside his door. and
would be held against all corners until
Greene called for II. Greene's con-
science Is Of the India rubber variety.
90 he had no compunctions about col
lecting the Ave dollars from both drug
gist and florist. I'll bet that wouldn't
happen to anybody else on earth but
