ALL ALONE IN TIE STORM
Inside, the Merry Country Party
VOTED Not Of the Forlorn Figure
Out in the Cold.

It was bitter cold. The snow fell
thickly, and. driven by the wind, 1t
beat relentlessly against the faces Of
those who were not sheltered A wild
night, indeed. Mdwinter, and in the
open country, and one of the coolest
nights in the memory of the Oldest in
habitant.
He stood not far from the winding,
snowbound road, his face turned to-
ward the highway. A forlorn object
in that great storm.
His old felt hat jammed roughly on
his head, but Unprotected his face and
ears from the chilly blasts. lie wore
no overcoat, only light ami much
frayed jacket, more fitted, indeed, for
summer weather than the zero tenn
perature of that night. His hands
were unprotected by gloves, while his
trousers, thin and worn, futtered
about his legs. He wore no shoes.
Inside the great farm, close by the
lights blazed merrily, and through the
windows, from which the shades we're
drawn, could be seen many young peo-
pie passing hither and thither. A
merry country party-youth and
laughter.
And now through the storm others
make their way to the farmhouse.
They are bundled up warm and com
Portable. and defy the snow and the
cold They are happy in the anticipa'
tion OF the joyful evening before them.
Care and worry have no part in their
| minds.
They do not know that close by
stc Is that ill-clothed figure, with
arms stretched appealingly forth, and
If they knew there would be no pity
in their hearts.

Queer Audience Views Comedy.

A fouract comedy recently given by
the New York School for the Hard of
Hearing, created singularly weird
impression amongst those present
who were not familiar with lip read
ing and the sign language. Words
were used, but they were not meant
to be heard, for the players and most
of the audience We're deaf. Cues and
clever lines alike were read, not
heard, and the lips of the silent speak
ers were the media. Even the hand
clapping, with which some of the
audience, unfamiliar with the conven-
tions of the lipo-drama, were prompt
ed to express their applause, was dis
couraged by the knowing ones, who
seemed TO manifest their approval by
an airy wave of the hand aloft. In
the longer play presented, pity was
taken upon that portion of the audi
ence which, though able to hear, was
so ill-equipped as not to be able to
read the lips OF the performers. So
in MANY a Slip 'TWixt the Girl and
the Lip" the lines were read out
loud, even though they were not
heard by any of the members OF the
cast.

HAD NO TIME FOR SUMMING
After Answering lmpertinent and Su.
percilious Questions Hostess
Hands London Lady a Jolt.

The Rev. Sylvester Horne. the noted
liberal clergyman and member of par
lament of London, was talking at
dinner about charity.
"The trouble with most charity" he
said. 'is that It is administered in
grudglng, condescending spirit Char
ity, to have any effect, must be ad-
ministered in a spirit of absolute sym.
pathy--a spirit, may also say, of alb
solute humility, TO uplift, get under
neath,' as the philosophic Ade well
said.
There was once a London lady, the
wife of a millionaire promoter, who
decided, being rather bored, to go in
for charity. So she rang for her cleo
trio brougham and glided in a luxur-
ious silence down to the New Cut.
'The lady selected the very worst
house in the New Cut, and she paid a
call OF about half an hour on the poor,
tired, underfed woman who lived
there. The questions she asked this
woman were supercilious and imperti-
nent The lady had a very good time.
But when she came to go, her hos
tess, whose cheeks were now un-
wontedly red, rather spoiled her good
time by saying quietly:
well, goodbye, madam don't
suppose I'll see you again. The fact
is, haven't time to go stunning my
self. Washington Star.

CHANGE IN CANDLES LUCK
FINDS a SIS Bill, Then Two Tens, but
the Next Find Is Something
Else.

George Gamble struck a streak of
luck the other day. Mr.. Gamble. in
cidentally. is manager of the -Pere
Marquette fast freight line. He walk
ed into hotel in Kansas, and there,
upon the lobby floor, he saw a small
green wad. "A s. bill" marveled Mr..
Gamble when he unrolled 1t.
A week or so later he ambled into
the lobby of another hotel in another
state. The first thing his eyes lit
upon was a pellet of green near the
clerks desk. Business OF making a
hurried dive for 1t and then discover
ing two $40 bills. packed together.
Mr.. Gamble observed that he was
sure enough in the middle of the lucky
curve. He wondered what he would
find next.
He came to town, walked into the
Cadillac. and there, in the middle of
the lobby floor, appeared that familiar
little emerald bulb. MIR Gamble
sidled toward it, trying to look as If he
was looking another way. Just at
that moment a small dog butted In.
He seized the little green wad and
frolcked toward the street. Mr.. Gam
BILE abandoned his pretense at indif-
ference and dived for the mutt.
"Grab um,' begged Mr.. Gamble;
"catch um"
A gentleman standing by the door
obliged He took the little bundle out
of the dogs mouth; then he looked
up at Mr.. Gamble This yours?' he
asked.
Mr. Gamble thought he would take a
chance. Yep" he said; ft's mine
| just missed IT,"
The gentleman handed over the bun.

Benefits of Good Roads.

There is one side to the good road
question which is a good thing and
one which few farmers seem to think
of and that is the market side. Why
does the price OF farm butter and eggs
climb skyward in the towns every
spring? Because of the short supply
These things pile up in the homes OF
farmers because they cannot get them
to town Good roads would make an
even market all the year around and
would add very largely to farm
profits.
