She Knew.

William Archer, the noted English
critic, said at one Of the meetings Of
the reform spelling board in New
York;
4 have been rather surprised here
in the States, with the general ignor-
ance of what we spelling reformers
are trying to do Our aims are not at
all understood. We have no idea OF
going to such ludicrous extremes as
many people think.
In fact, the average mans idea OF
reformed spelling is a gopd deal like
the two young ladies' idea Of natural
history.
What part Of the animal does the
chop come from?' said the first young
lady. Is it the legs"
"'Oh, not at all, said the other

never heard Of animals licking their

at a public function this winter, found
herself much bored by the attentions
of a fresh young man, the son of a
senator.
Soon after his Introduction to the
young woman, the fresh young man
proceeded to regale her with a story
of some adventure in which he had
figured as hero. His listener, a re-
