Says Forecaster

Summer is still indicating that it
has q few kicks left in the line of

increase in the heat, which was un-
doubtedly bad enough yesterday, and,

At noon the mercury stood at Sc,
seven degrees more than yesterdays
highest. The humidity Is 66 per cent,
while the normal humidity for this
temperature is only low in the fifties.
Yesterdays maximum humidity was
SIS and the average So. which was a
few per cent. above the comfort line.
Fair weather is promised for to-
night and tomorrow, with continued

SackviIIe Street, Dublin.

Dublin is one of the finest cities in

buildings are second to none. Two

fineness of the town of Dublin and of

RovsI Superstition,

Canterbury cathedral. like most
great cathedrals, is decorated with in
Vulnerable inches for statues. At
Canterbury a series of these inches is
occupied with statues of kings and
queens of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied. An old
tradition has it that when all the
inches are filled the throne of England
will come to an end.
Queen Victoria was approached with
a view to a statue of herself being
placed in one of the four remaining
inches, but her late majesty was aware
of the old tradition and refused. One
wonders whether in the future there
will be four mOnarchs of England
sufficiently Indifferent to superstition
to defy the tradition and allow their

Grampell invited Jeanette to join an
opera party recently and when her an
swer came he knew it was short be-
fore he opened it.
"Good!" he murmured, pulling out
the sheet. He fingered over throwing
it away, because for some reason or
late jeanette had grown to interest
him a good deal. But Grampell hates
to break habit. There were about SIX
lines on the front page and he tossed
the missive away cheerfully.
It was eight o'clock when Grampell
in full regalia drew up at Jeanette's
house and mounted the steps. The maid
delivered her message as soon as she
opened the door. Miss Trips" she
recited, "said when you came you
were to go to Mrs. Smiths il you
please.
"Oh," said Grampen blankly. Then
he decided that she must be dining
out. The only Smiths who gave din
ners were the Algernon Smiths, and
they lived 20 blocks away.
Three policemen strained their
voices shouting after Grampell's taxi
as he shot through the streets. He
was host at the opera party and would
be late as it was. Dashing up the
steps of the Algernon Smiths, on
whom he had not a calling acqualnt-
ance, Grampell was ushered in. From
the dining room came the click and
hum of large dinner party. Present.
ly Smith appeared. He was polite, but
decidedly curious. Most evidently he
could not recall having invited Gramp-
ell to dine. Also Miss Trips was not
there.
It was very awkward. Grampen had
the consciousness that Smith would
tell the servants Immediately on his
departure to watch the upstairs win
dows and the silver safe. Once out
side Grampell wiped his wet brow and
gazed wildly about in the cold night.
Where in creation was Jeanette? Find
ing o drug store he called up her
house. Nobody was at home. The maid
he had talked with was out. The 9TH
er maid didn't know anything about it.
Grampell arrived at the theater pale
and melted as to collar and he skunk
down to his block of six seats like a
criminal. The four persons already
there greeted him with becoming haut-
eur and said: "Sh!" when he agOnized-
~ started to apologize.
Something was happening on the
stage, but Grampell never knew what
it was. He was picturing the wrath OF
Jeanette waiting, hopelessly waiting
for him at some mythical Smiths,
Waiting and growing to hate him.
Then the curtain fell and the lights
went UP.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-08-09

Directly across the aisle from him,
two rows down, sat jeanette! Turning
her head she saw him and smiled
sweetly. It was not at all look or
Indignation. Jeanette's mind seemed
quite at peace. Grampell reached her
side in three strides.
where were your" he inquired,
''Why didn't you wait for me? And
what Smiths were you att
what are you talking about?" de-
manded the young woman. Didn't you
get my letter? 1 wrote you that I
had already promised to go to the OPP
era tonight. The Smiths? That was
a message / left for the superintend-
emit of my mission-he was to go to
the Smiths for some books we had
collected for the children. Isn't the

His Tme-Saving
Plan

II rarely read a letter through,
GrampeH has said many times. IF it
is from a girl, / can always gather
from the first three lines what she is
going to tell me, and let the magma
ton do the rest This plan works par
ticularly we'll if the letter is in reply
to an invitation. IF / see that the
note is short I know she accepts. II
it is long, I know she can't go and is
wasting four pages explaining why.
Usually / don't care why-and think
OF all the time / save by not reading
explanations"
Grampell found his plan excellent
when it came to dealing with jean
cite Trips. She was an especially
nice girl, but she possessed super
abundance Of language. Jeanette al
ways took 500 words to tell one 2O
words of news and when she had pa
per and pen before her she rioted In
her verbal wealth. 1t was after she
wrote Grampell six large pages con-
veying the regretful news that she
was unable to go to the theater that
he inaugurated his plan. Grampell
never did more than tear open the en-
velopes of Jeannette's notes. II the
writing was of formidable length he
merely threw it into the waste paper
basket and asked himself: Who'll
ask now to go with me?
