"Muriel," said the old gentleman,
sharply, that young man you had in the
parlor last night is dull of comprehen-
sion. All / had to do was cough when
the other chaps remained too late, and
they would take the hint and depart.
Did this one say anything when |
coughed last night?'
Yes" replied the beautiful daughter.

Lure of the pitchers"

During the hot weather a charitable
woman who has summer home on the
lake shore, was in town shopping. She
knew that many poor children We're suf-
fering, and her kind heart suggested
that she give some of them the advan-
tage of an outing in the country. So she
made inquiries as to where the need was
worst, and finally succeeded in rounding
up four ragged mites from a congested
neighborhood.
Now, children she told them. I'm
going to give you glorious treat You
are to get into my big automobile and
go with me to my country home. Then
you will have a fine supper, with lots of
cool things to drink. There is shady
lawn to play on, and you will sleep in
big, cool rooms And the next day you
can do Just as you please and have all
the fresh milk you can hold. And you
shall stay for week. Now, what do
you say to that?'
There wasn't bit of enthusiasm. IL
the lady had expected them to be dumb
with delight or to shout hosannas. she
was disappointed.
"Why. don't you want to go?" she
cried.
WED like to. but we can't" ex-
planned the Oldest. "Deres all new films
at de pitcher show tonight.

meagre collection.
"Mon,' replied one of the elders.

confidential-"the aud meenister. he
put three or four saxpences into the
plate hissel'. just to gle them start.
OF course he took the saxpences ava
with him afterward.
The new minister tried the same plan,
but the following Sunday was repeti-
ton of the others-a dismal failure. The
entire collection was not only small, but
to his great CONSERVATION his own coins
were missing
Eye may be better preacher than

to get the drift of his remarks. I heard
him say as they were leaning over the

How massive, How beautiful
What wonderful, mysterious power
What sadness, How skylike is the

There was more Of the same sort.
but that was enough for me. 1 calls

What mysterious power! What sad
ness
He must be d horse theft said
Jim, just as quick as l finished. Jim

to do with him.
Jim thinks a while and then l sug-
gests: Throw him overboard?"
Jim mods and that ends the debate.
Hardly had we said them words
when there was a splash and there we

THE Teller said the gal had thrown
him over.
1.-The gal throwed you over?' / says.
Yes, she thought she liked me, but
she changed her mind says the Teller.
Now l don't care to live any longer?'"
And did the captains daughter de-
eide that she liked him after that, and
did she marry him and live happy ever
after" asked the bos'ns little audi
ence.
she didn't get a chanst to- an
swered the bosn. I'VE put him back

What did you do that for? What
did you pull him out for If you. didn't

why, all we wanted was TO find out
how he come to be in there. Soon az
We found out we put him back" said
the bosn cheerfully.
