Why He Couldn't SIT Down.

Harry. aged six. is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and it was a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers,
and there was suspicious fullness In
front and an equally mystify.ng tight
ness in the back to be observed. as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped on
again. Harry, you must sit down.
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder of the service.

Mr.. Howells and Reporters

Mr.. Howels does not shun publicity and he
gets his share of 1t. He says he used formerly
greatly to enjoy favorable press notices of his
books and owns to having carried them about like
love letters. Having once been newspaper man.
he has soft place in his heart for the reporter
journalist who sought interview with him
not long ago received this reply:
What there is left OF me to be interviewed
is your service"

charm of "a Modern Instance" and have sympa

ham, enjoy reading newspaper page in which
Mr. Howells talks of his work, and they see moth
ing immodest in it. The present writer never

and of whatever distinction they may have gained

know what pleasure is. he says frankly, for I

not vain one. The silly statement made by
W. E. Henley that Stevenson could not pass

heart full of the jealously art. Stevenson was
not much photographed man, but have seen
album of pictures OF him taken amid various
scenes, and In none of them there anything
like pose. In many of the photographs his head
is modestly lowered and his eyes are on the
