Been Put on Record.

Ut Johnson perpetrated many Jokes
In his dictionary, but among his most
famous blunders was his definition Of
'pastern" as the knee of horse"
The dictionary makers often took
occasion to make their definitions hit
their enemies. Wesley defined Meth.
odist" as zone that liyeth according to
the method laid down in the Bible. q
Dr. Johnson defined oats as "a grain
which In England Is generally given
to horses but In Scotland supports
the people" He defined "pensioner"
as "A slave Of state. hired by a stI.
pend to obey his master" which def
milton was made much Of by the doc.
tors enemies when he himself was
awarded a pension.
Bailey's dictionary defined the 10.
riot or Golden Oriole as "a bird that,
being looked upon by one who has the
yellow iaundice, cures the person and
dies himself" Fennlng, who was the
next dictionary maker. was afraid Of
this, and merely said "Lorlot, a kind
Of bird But enc Of the best bits Of
misinformation was given in the die.

one place declared that "a gallon Is
a measure containing two quarts and
IN another place declared "a quaver

Now Thursday came. One Of the girls
had planned for it to be at her house.
They had big tent up in the yard.
The mothers Of the rich girls had
sent invitations to all the people to
come. So when the children came in the
tent it was crowded. People even from
other states were there. When the
girls collected the monye they had ten
dollars.
When the show began Mary came in
skipping In a ring followed by six
! others. All were dressed in white. They
sang and danced. Some OF the boys
were clowns. The show was enjoyed
very much. Mary was very glod.
