Why He Objected.

parson and leading parishioner
were not on good terms. and there
was much speculation in the village
as to the reason.
It's all on account of parson re-

ed her TO be named Dora Ruby Inez

piled her friend, even if he was asked
to give the child a hundred names"
"Oh, II wasn't the number Of names

servant. He objected to the initials.

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

MO one on earth but mother
~ can carry three suit cases, a
baby and a basket, and man.
age six children and dog trailing at
her heels, and get to her destination
without losing one of them.
A man would lose half the children
and all his temper.
There alighted from a train one
morning a woman carrying a baby
on one arm; in her hands she held
three suit cases and a basket, and
there came trailing behind her six
children with open mouths and wide
eyes. and the last one dragged a dog.
The look Of apprehension on the
faces of the hundreds behind the
gates. plainly telling a fear that they
might draw the party of eight and a
dog, lifted when the woman APP
preached a policeman and made in
quirieS for Lysander John Appleton.
The officer didn't know, but he was
plainly pleased to find out He re-
turned In few minutes, gave her the
most minute directions how to reach
No. II Buncomb place. and assisted
her to a car, even giving the conduc-
tor instructions.
The conductor had a car full. and
many passengers he let out too soon,
and others he carried blocks beyond
their destinations, but he was so So
! licitous about the woman, seven chill
dren and dog that he stopped the
| car in the middle of the street, and
personally helped the woman, seven
| children and the dog off the car and
across the street to the front door,
| In which kind act he was assisted by

you want, and when ii comes to that
/ bet my worms are better than
yours. And | opened my box and
showed them to him.
The sight of them did not con-
vince him, the others took sides. and
at last it was decided that We should
each choose our champion worm and
match them against each other
The contest was arranged in this
manner; TWO lines Weer drawn on
the table fifty centimeters apart. and
between these equally far from both
INES We placed our worms. When
the signal was given we let them
loose. and the one which first crossed
one of the lines was the winner. The
prize was bottle of champagne

aging smiles to the strangers they
waited until some one answered the
door bell to make sure for themselves
that the Appletons were at home
Do you wonder why every one was
so solicitous? Because every one Is
just human enough to enjoy a joke
like a woman, seven children and a
dog, when the joke is on some other
man.
Had the stranger been a man look
ing for Lysander John Appleton that
he might will him seven million dol
