Mr.. Graball was the owner of sew
eral dilapidated houses, and the way
he delt with his tenants would have
turned Shylock green with envy.
No one knew how 1t vas the
houses stood. Report had IT that the
wall paper held them together; but
in one house the paper had come off
the wall. As a result the latter
bulged dangerously. Forthwith Mr..
Graball raised the rent.
Five shilling more a month" ex-
claimed the wretehed tenant. And
with these bullying walls?"
Certainly. madam. /" said the land
lord b%landly. You have more room

boy refused.
All the coaxing and pleading was
of no avail.
When his father came home that
evening he was told by his wife

to the country.

want to go?" said the father.
NO." said the mother, II didn't
think of that. i will go up to
Johnny and ask him.
Then the mother went up to John
ny and said: johnny, why don't you
want to go to the country"
Well" answered Johnny, they

and it's bad enough here when you
do 1t by hand"

Wasted Time.

1t was 9 o'clock last evening when
some callers came to call.
| was sitting in a corner with my
back against the wall,
Within a heap of clover lying in my
lap. and taking pains
With my clumsy fumbling fingers at
contriving clover chains,
With my youngest crouched beside
me with her glad blue eyes
alight,
Choosing long-stemmed blossoms,
telling me which way was
right;
And the hour was filled with laugh
ter, twas a most engrossing
game,
Till the doorbell clangel its sum-
mons and until our callers
came.
Jinx said, standing there above me
with a plying sort of smile.
II can't see, not for a minute, how
you can find 1t worth while
To waste time the way you're doing
on such foolish childish
things;
Don't catch me at any nonsense;
when one of my children
brings
Playroom stuff to me to fool with,
that's the time they go to
bed;
None of that in mine. l p~ondered
on the words my caller said,
And l thought of the young Jinxes
back at home there fast
asleep,
And my heart was filled with pity
for each lonesome little heap.
Wasted time," my caller called it;
wasted time to bring such JOY
To the heart of a wee grille, or a
little bit of boy
That through all the years of living
they will smile when they re-
call
How their daddy, in the corner with
his back against the wall
Played at games to make them happy
how their mother loved a
night
To cut rows of paper dollies for q
little girls delight.
Humphi | went on with my weaving
adding new links onto links
Wasted time! You bet l wasn't vast
ing any time on Jinx.

The Gii1 l Left Behind Me.

The Girl I Left Behind Me.
The hour was sad l left the maid.
A lingering farwell taking.
Her signs and tears my steps delay
ed,
I thought her heart was breaking,
In hurried words her name l blessed,
I breathed the vows that bind me.
And to my heart in anguish pressed
The girl | left behind me.
Then to the East we bore away,
To win a name in story,
And there where dawns the u of
day.
There dawned our sun of glory;
Both blazed in noon on Alma's
height,
Where. in the post assigned me.
/ shared the glory of that fight,
Sweet girl | left behind me.
Full many a name our banners bore,
or former deeds of daring,
But they were of the days of yore,
In which we had no sharing;
But now, our laurels freshly won,
With the old ones shall entwined
be,
Still worthy of our sires each son,
Sweet girl left behind me.
The hope of final victory.
Within my bosom burning,
Is mingling with sweet thoughts of
thee,
And of my fond returning;
But should | ne'er return again
Still worth thy love thou'lt' find me.
D%ishonor's breath shall never stain
The name I'll leave behind me.

read or write, she always calls to
her assistance, when writing a letter
the finest scholars in the community.
The Republican candidate for super
intendent of schools, while soliciting

lady thought it too good an oppor-

to write a letter for her to her daugh-

the letter. Finally he asked If she

One day in a law Office in a small
Kansas town, says the Kansas City
Star, the lawyer and his assistant
were much surprised to see entering
the door a man with a badly swollen
face tied up in a big handkerchief.
Before saying anything he sank
YEARLY into a chair. Seeming an as
sault and battery case, and perhaps
a damage suit. the lawyer briskly in
quired what he could do for the
weary one. and the answer he receiv-
ed was:
Say. is this the place where you
pull teeth"
No" replied the lawyer. I'VE
sometimes help people to cut their
teeth. but we never pull them"
