No Wonder the Shade of Sir Isaac
 Newton Was Disgusted.
 Augustine Birrell, author and states man, at a newspaper mems dinner told unique ghost story
 ,sr~'T have been haunted ever since I was almost boy" he said, ''by the constant repetition of one and the same dream. It comes to me again and again. It is this: I dream I am plain or desert, and suddenly encoun- ter the agitated ghost of Sir Isaac Newton. He approaches me, his eyes almost starting out of his head; he tells me who he is and how ignorant he is of all that has happened in the world of science since he left.
 Now he says, I want you to tell me in few words, for I have only quarter of an hour left, all that has happened to the race-the. progress. How is it? know what it was when left it. What is it now?' My heart sinks, and, covered with confusion, I stumble, I shutter, l stammer, I be- come more and more involved, my ig- nOrance becomes more and more ap- parent, and at last the unhappy ghost, throwing up his hands, leaves me with dismay.
 "That dream constantly comes to me. The only difference is that the moment the unhappy Sir Isaac Newton sees me now he says, Oh, that old ignoramusv and departs. ."-PaH Mall Gazette.

GOTH sIGNED TIE NOTE.

A Financial FormaIity That Puzzled
 Both Clay and Webster.
 The men i'll official Washington seem to have less of halo about them than in the good old days, when the tower ing form of Webster or Henry Clay would attract more attention on Penn sylvania avenue than a brass band or a tango dancer in 1914. In a bank the other day I saw d note indOrsed joint ly by Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. The story is told that Clay asked Web Ster to indOrSe note with him for $500.
 "All right" said the studiou' md thoughtful Webster, "I'll do so, Clay, if you'll make it $1,OOO and give me half" Clay agreed to the compact. and the two set out for Banker Riggs, signed the note with due sOlemnity and secured the proceeds. AS they swung across the threshold out again on the avenue and divided the money Web ster in his pOnderOus voice remarked to Clay. "Henry, why do you suppose Mir. Riggs wanted our names on that nOte?'
 "It baff1es me, Daniel" responded Clay. Perhaps he desired some me mento to hand down to posterity, for I cannot at this moment conceive how it is going to be paid for the present genera tiOn."
 . The cancelled note is today a valued souvenir, worth many times it's face. because of the illustriOus siEners.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in National Maga, zine

Scandal.

How is it that the evil which men say spreads so widely and lasts so long, while our good, kind words don't seem somehow to take root and bear blossom? Is it that in the stony hearts of mankind these pretty flowers can't find place to grow? Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of ones neighbor is by nc means lively hearing. An acquaint- ance grilled. scored, deviled and serv- ed with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite, whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.-Thackeray.

Story telling, songs, fishing and the clam bake were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The new motor boat with Old Glory floating over it was kept very busy.
