Reneflta Of ROYAL Acadamv.

A membership of the Royal acad.
envy Of London carries with 1t numer-
GUS advantages. In word the acad-
envy is benefit society founded on a
very generous scale. The pension
fund Of Burlington house Is a splendid
one. Any Royal Academlcian who
falls upon hard times or who Is pre-.
vented by Ill health from following
his profession may claim a pension,
and the pension sometimes runs into
as much as $4,000 a year.
The Royal Academician who dies in
straitened circumstances and leaves
his widow and children insufficiently
provided for is not thought any the
less of for his i'll fortune. The Royal
academy shows It's sympathy by gen.
erously allowing those who were de-
pendent on him liberal gum for their
maintenance. And the wife and the
children Of deceased Royal Acade-
mician receive many kfndnesses and
acts Of charity from the hands of the
living Royal Academicians, which are
quite distinct from those given by this
academy.-Natjonal Magazine.

SHE COULD NOT REMEMBER
Abssnt-NAlnded Woman's Peculiar Rea-
con for Wanting to Be Runa Up
or the Phone.

Absent-minded persons sorely try
the patience OF girls In the New
Rochelle telephone ONCE. Not long
ago q woman confessed herself sub
ject to extreme forgstfulnsss and re-.
quested the day operator on her ex-
change to ring her up every morning
at o'clock. A week later she said:
Central, what was 1t wanted you
to call me for at 8 oclock?"
Il don't know" said the girl. "You
didn't tell me. You just asked me to
call at 9 o'clock"
TOO bad" said the woman. Il
know there was something I wanted
to do every morning at o'clock, but
! can't for the life Of me think what
1t was"
The o'clock calls continued, how
ever, and several days later the wom-
an took central into her confidence
again.
Il have found out why I wanted to
be called" she said. "a friend had
given me canary and 1 wanted to
make sure of remembering to feed 1t.
The poor little thing is nearly starved.
Hereafter when you ring won't you
just say, Feed the bird and I'll go
straight and do it?"
Central promised, and the neglected
canary is now plump and contented
bird.--New York Times.

Wanted to See It Bloom.

Mabel Parr, just turned six, lives
n Lauderdale avenue, in Lakewood,
says the Cleveland Leader. Her
mother, a Scientist, has been trou-
bled for some days with cold-sore,
much to her little daughters concern.
When she could not longer restrain
her sympathy she turned interroga-
ton point.
Mother" she asked. pointing to
the slight Disagreement, what is
that you've got?"
"That's a rosebud, DEAR" said Mrs.
Parr.
Mabel was silent and thoughtful all
the rest of the day. When she yield
ed to pressure she confessed she'd
been worrying about her mother.
"I've been ihinking about that rose
bud" she said, "and wondering why
that flower never blooms"

Had His Eye On the Boat.

Alexander Carr has a reputation as
wit and story teller only equaled by
his reputation as an actor. His latest
story was told the other night and
runs as follows:
Two Hebraic gentlemen, friends Of
long standing, went to the lake and
each hired rowboat for trial Of
skill and strength. In the middle Of
the lake one tipped over his boat and
sank from sight. Coming to the sur
face close to the bow Of the other
boat he shouted:
'Tkey, Ikey, save me, can't swim!"
Carefully hobling the boat a few
feet away front his drowning friend,
the other looked on unmoved.
Again the unfortunate one sank be-
low the surface, and as he came up
for the second time repeated his cries
for help.
A third time he came up, and then,
as he started to disappear from sight
for the third and last time, his friend
shouted:
Able, if you don't come up again
can have your boat?"

WHY THEY LOVE THE LIBRARY.
Such a Nice Place to Sit, Especially
If One Has Agreeable
Company.

While pleasant weather fingered the
stone benches in front Of the New
York public library were occupied by
couples whose presence could not be
attributed wholly to their interest in
the architectural scheme. They re-
mained too long and their eyes spoke
Of other things.
Since rain and chill winds have
made marble benches out of doors un-
comfortable, even for ardent sweet
hearts, they are to be found on SINH
lar seats which are placed for decora-
tive purposes in the long corridors in
side the building.
"Don't you love the new library?"
one girl said to another.
'No; it takes too long to get the
books"
"Well, I don't know about that. I
haven't drawn any books yet"
"What do you go there for, then?"
"Oh, it is so lovely just to sit there"
"Alone?"
mo. not alone"

JOKE ON POLICE SERGEANT!
Thought He Had Officer Trapped In
Undertaker's Shop When Pinoele
Game Was On.

Here's the best joke ever heard
IN a sergeant" said high Official I'M
the police department. "He was go
ing the rounds when he saw a police
man whom we'll call Mullan.y go into,
an undertaker's shop where there Is
generally pinocle game in the back
room. He knew there was no back,
way out for Mullaney, so rounds,
planted himself at the door and
waited.
"After time he sent in word by
one of the men working in the shop
that he knew Mullaney was in there
and that he had better come back on
post, because the longer he waited
the worse the complaint against him
would read. 9
There was much commotion in the
back room, and as there were num-,
Der Of coffins being loaded on wagons
outside they put Mullaney in coffin
and loaded him on the wagon. They
drove him down the street couple
of blocks and Mullaney climbed out.
He strolled back up to where the SER
geant was doggedly watching the
door and saluted. !
"Hello, rounds, pleasant evening,
isn't It? he said, and the sergeant
stared for a moment and then stamp.
