SAW HOPE FOR THE BEAR
Birthday Gift Had Every Possibility
of Being Received as One of
the Family.

Page, a true little southerner, is law
ishly endowed with the traditional
family spirit" His sense of family,
indeed, is so strong that he regards
any one or anything belonging to his
own household as in some mysterious
but very real way superior to all the
rest of the world
Page has dog whom he loves very
dearly, and it grieved him much when,
not long since, jockey declined to have
anything to do with the stuffed bear
that came as a birthday gift. Pres
emily, however, he became normally
cheerful and began to play happily.
A visitor sympathetically inquired il
jockey has decided to adopt the new
bear as his friend.
Not yet" Page made smiling an
swer, but he will soon, Aunt Annie.
You see, Jockeys only a dog and he
doesn't think IS quick as we do. He
thinks the bear is only paying a call
here. But just as soon as he knows
that the bear is one of the family he'll
take to him all right"

Nonsense! This is an unconven-

She was a DEAR old fashioned,
modest, simple maiden lady. So that

thought of paying a chiropodist visit
her great friend was duly astonished.

ly, albeit firmly; neither am l af-

Her friend gazed at her with grow

gently, what on earth do you want

The little old lady's cheeks blushed
a delicate pink as she leaned forward,

How They Measured.

From the meadow the road began
to ascend, and about noon we started
to climb Greeley Hill thirteen mile
road leading to its summit. AS the
afternoon began to wane, and we had
zigzagged our way over what seemed
to US thirteen miles of road, we met
resident of the region and ventured to
ask him how they measured miles in
that country.
"Oh, we just let a greyhound loose,
and when he drops dead, that's
mile, was the reply. Suburban Life

Many Plants "Left-Handed."

Habits of plants analogous to the
right-handedness and left-handedness
of man have been reported to the
Cambridge, England, Philosophical
society by R. H. Compton.
In an examination of eight varieties
of two-rowed barley, the first leaf was
found to twist to the left in So per
cent. of more than 10000 seedlings,
and an excess of left-handed growth
was found also in millet and in oats.
In corn there seemed to be no
marked tendency either way. No evil
dence of hereditary popularity ap-
pears to have been obtained and no
special significance of the results Is
pointed out.

Still One Ahead.

Donald was only d. and the height
of his ambition was to own a red
wagon. One day he came in from play
and burst into a storm of tears.
Mamma, mamma, Johnnie Bakers

Mamma comforted him as best she
could, and Donald soon went off to
play again. The next day Johnnie
passed the house with his red wagon,
and Donald, looking up, said vindic-
lively:

Stover's lips met grimly. 81 don't
reckon you have, miss. Since that
race he has been hard to descry. He
passed from view hurriedly, so to
speak, headed toward the foothills,
and leaping from crag to crag like the
hardy shamrock of the Swiss Alps"
Miss Blake giggled. What made
