OBJECT LESSON WAS ENOUGH
After the Illustration Mrs. Jones Was
Able to Understand Just How
It Happened.

Mr.. Jones believed that no one need
ever fall down. It was pure careless.
tess, he said Anyone who walked
straight, and did not dawdle round,
was n no danger of losing his balance.
He said 80 to Mrs. Jones many times,
but she Only smiled in a provoking
way.
One bitter colo JaHuary morning he
changed his mind Everything out
doors had a coating Of Ice. The path
leading from the barn to She house
was smooth as glass and slanted
treacherously on either hand. On one
side of 1t was an old cellar, where the
house had once stood. Jones was COM
ing from the barn. after doing the
morning chores, with a pail of milk
in each hand. He was just opposite
the cellar when-zzzt!-out few his
feet and down he went on his back.
The next instant he had slid in a
shower Of milk over the edge of the
cellar hole, and landed on the bottom
with a thump that fairly took away
his breath.
He looked round fH q dazed way for
a moment, and then crawfed to his
feet. After making reasonably sure
that none Of his bones were broken,
he climbed out and went limping into
the house to tell his wife.
Matilda! Matilda!" he called
''Come out here!"
Obediently she came. "Why, Hiram,
what has happened? Are you hurt?'
she exclaimed, startled.

that old celIarway. Come here and
I'll show you"
Mrs. Jones followed her husband
gingerly.
'sSee, Matilda" he said, as he reach
ed the spot and turned, "I stood right
here like this when"
Once more Jones's feet few up, and
in precisely the same manner as be-
fore he landed in the bottom Of the
cellar. Silence reigned while Mrs.
Jones gazed at the spot where her
husband had stood. Then she saw
his head appearing over the top OF
the bank.

plain any further. / understand ex.
actly how it was done"
But Hiram's answer was thorough:
