Too Noisy.

Theodore Dresser, at luncheon In
New York, given in his honor, warned
his fellow authors against historical
writing
Look at the fake of the muck-ra-
kerr" said the author of Sister Car
rie." He has lost his popularity and
one cannot but feel pleased at his
disappearance, for his outcries did
more harm than good. am sure that
he wishes now that he had been milder
in his denunciation. He can sympa-
thize with the dentists wife.
Awakening with a bad headache
the morning after a G. A. R. banquet
to celebrate Lincoln's Birthday, a sub
urban dentist unused, not unpleasantly,
on his last evenings spree. But sud
denly his wife appeared and, advanc-
ing to his bedside. shouted hysteri-
cally:
You wretch, What will the neigh
bors say at your coming home drunk
last night?"
"'But, my dear, nobody saw me, the
dentist protested
Nobody saw YOU What if nobody
did see you? You know well enough

Miss Priscilla waited in the Office
impatiently. For once in her life she
was watching the. clock. If the water
was not shut of at the main-why,
poor mother would be standing under
that leaky old pipe all day. At five
o'clock, since Mr.. Forsythe had not
returned, she put on her hat and hur-
ried home.
When she entered the little fiat an
amazing sight was seen. Upon the
lounge sat Mrs. Howe; under the leak
ing pipe, philosophically watching the
water drip into the pail, sat John For
sythe. AS the pail filled he thrust an
other one under the leak and hurried
the full pail into the bathtub.
Mother" exclaimed the girl, petri-
fed with amazement.
my DEAR" faltered her mother,
this young man kindly offered to help
me. Such a respectable-looking young
man, and he speaks SO nicely. He
wanted work and said you had recon-
mended him and he came in the nick
of time."
John Forsythe emerged from the
bathroom, carrying the empty pail.
Its running more slowly now" he
said. looking at the leak. "Confound
those authorities, whoever they are!
, Why can't they turn it off? All"
,, The authorities had evidently ava.
kened, for the trickle of water gradu-
ally thinned until it ceased. and John
Forsythe looked up triumphantly from
his pail
Here is a dollar for you, my good
man" said Mrs. Howe, producing bill
from her reticule. And you have GER
tainly earned it. am very much
obliged"
Thank you, madam said John,

door quickly, but he fingered long
enough in the hall for Miss Priscilla to
catch up with him.
How dared you!"-she began. but

Tented.
You'll take lunch with me now" he
said convincingly. Won't you-Pris-
cilla?"
YES" answered Priscilla. And. as
the door closed, she added, dear un.
der her breath.
