PATRIARCH HAD READY WIT
Possibly Stretched Truth a Little, but Was Not Going to Be Beaten
 by Youngsters"

"The old man was glutton for work" Deacon Thomas told the new minister. They were speaking of Moses Rogers, who had lately died after an active life of ninety-one years. "'Folks used to work in my young days Moses would always tell ye.
 "He was leetle mite cocky in for mer years, and one day he challenged John and Jim Boardman, thirty years younger'n him, to pitch up a load of hay s fast s he could load it.
 "'All right, they says.
 "The hay wag'n was driven round to the medder, an they begun. Moses held his own awful we'll for some time, and if the boys stopped to breathe a minute, he'd call out :
 "'More hay! More hayp
 "But after while he had to strug- gle round to keep on top of the heap, all disordered and half-trod down as it was, and it started to roll, and then to slide, and fn'lly lot of it tumbled off, and Moses with it.
 'Hellor sung out the boys. What you doin' down here%

 "Mr. Pye considers. I hate to go and leave a lot of work standing, Jawn,' says he. Things stop on a dead center whenever I'm not here, you know. Oh, well, l hate to disappoint you, since you've come way up here for me- So he reluctantly grabs his panama and they float out to take the touring car.
 Later on he has another meal at a roof garden or a summer garden with music, and the check for him and lawn Is somewhere around $10. The touring car drops him at his own door in the moonlight and leaves him to un- disturbed slumber that he may rest up for another wearing day.

FEAR RAFTING OF cRIcKETS
Superstition That 1t Foretells Death Is Universally Prevalent in
 England.

In England, whether the cricket brings us good luck or bad, he is cer- tainly not regarded as fighting ami nal, as he is in China. The Chinese put the domestic cricket into strict training and set him to fight single round contests, on which they can bet with will. The absence of any disagreement as to the proper inter- pretatlon of the leg-before rule gives the Chinese cricket match a great superiority over the English variety.
 The cricket superstition is not confined to England. Sir William Jardine noted its existence in Scot land last century. More widespread. however, is the death-watch super stition. l confess that the tick ing of a death watch at night gives me an uncanny feeling. Sir Thomas Browne, in his "Vulgar Er- rors," was probably the first to give a true account of this death watch " the noise Is made by a little sheath-winged gray insect, found often in wainscot benches and woodwork in the summer. We have taken many thereof and kept them in thin boxes, wherein I have heard and seen them work and knock with a little proboscis or trunk against the side of the box, ike a picus martius, or woodpecker, against a tree" But explanations, however, clear. do not dispel superstitions, and the "sheaf- wing insect" still ticks terror into the hearts of watchers about a sick bed.-London Chronicle.
