LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLUOUS
ent Generation Considers Too Many "Wants" as Needs"

A woman who has been observing people and things has come to the conclusion that the expense of living today is largely due to individual in. diligence. People want so much more than they formerly did. or at any rate, If they wanted 1t before they often did without it. for expe diency's sake; but now. she says, to want and to have go hand fin hand without regard for e1pediency. This woman says: My idea of the wide spread complaint of the high cost of living is that people are not temper ate in supplying their three principal wants, namely: food. clothing and shelter. Some people cut down on food and shelter and spend an over abundance on clothing. Others 1n' dulge themselves in rich foods that are absolutely unnecessary. Stiu others like to live in fashionable quarters and neglect their food and shelter. A person to be happy must preserve a balance in all things. One must be temperate with regard to food, clothing and shelter. Live in . respectable but not ultra-fashionabla neighborhood; wear standard clothes not the latest Paris fashions; eat good, substantial food, not rich. tasty delicacies that cater only to the pal ate, is nay parting advice"

There are still two opinions con- corning red hair She was a very proud young mother. All the old mas ters had never painted such bam- bino, had never imagined such a cher ub as hers. Quite simply she be- lieved it. And the baby's hair was red It did not occur to her that red hair was anything but completely and who'll ly admirable. The little shining cop per colored head seemed to her tho sum of all that was radiant and lovo- ly.

 flash of some strong feeling could it be compassion ?-illumined the dejected features of Mrs. OLeary, The proud young mother felt her hand gripped In a grasp of iron. and warm Irish voice sounded in her ears.

LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preachers Humorous Comment on Biblical Text As He Under
 stood It's Meaning.

Of old the right of individual private interpretation of the scriptures was not accorded to the laity. Only the priests or preachers were authorized to say what was meant by the sacred text. That has all been changed, and no man will now be expelled from the most orthodox church for believing that Balaams palace mule did not really address his fellow citizens of Judea OF the political issues of the day, or considering that the statement of the suns standing still at the order of Captain Joshua was an illustrative allegory and not the record of frozen fact
 This advance fin theology is illus trated by the story of the darky preacher who delivered sermon from the text, These eight did Milcah bear"
 "Muffrinds," said he, you Is singu- larly blessed by de Lawd in dis gen. eration. If you wants some milk you done goes to youah COW. and at ono milk you gets enough of de laciferous fluid foh eight people. In dc olden times of which de Bible speaks It took eight folks to milk bear. on specs dey gets mighty little milk ae dat."-Los Angeles Times.

MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
Old Gentleman Went Too Far in His Inquiry, and Demonstration
 Proved Ills UndoinS.

An elderly gentleman walking through his garden one day stopped before a fig tree on which were two figs just ripening. His favorites were figs. and summer often came and went without the fruit coming to ma turity.
 Shortly after, he met his gardener who, assuring him the figs were quite ripe. was requested to send them to the summer house, where his master was about to rest
 Picking the figs, the gardener sent his little boy of seven with the basket. On the way the little fellow stopped and. removing the leaves, gazed upon the tempting fruit.
 The attraction was too great; he ate one. Covering the other with the leaves, he proceeded upon his errand.
 On being asked if the gardener had not sent two figs, the boy, after mo- ment's silence. answered: 'I ate one.'
 You ate one? How" exclaimed the old gentleman, angrily. How did you come to do that"
 Dropping his eyes to the basket. "I took it like this said the child, taking the remaining fig, and l ate 1t like this"
 And. suiting the action to the word. he consumed the second fig before the astonished eyes of the old gentleman.

coneernIna Men With ral,s.

It would not be wise to build upon the story of the coast natives that in the interior of Papua there are mon with tails. Similar beliefs have been held in many parts of the world and many ages. sometimes from impress sions of apes. sometimes from more or less spiteful credulity about a peo- ple's neighbors. For centuries 1t was a common gibe on the Continent that Englishmen had tails. It originated from the story that the people of Canterbury or Strood. having mocked at St. Thomas riding upon little ass and cut of it's tail, were punished with the curse that thenceforth all their boys should be born with tails. And the scoffs of other Engiishmen al the "Kentish longtails" rebounded up on the whole nation, 90 that even in the teae of Edward VI. Englishmen a1Csa suffered from the taank

Surmising that the gasoline tank had

hoped to stop the taxicab by depriv-
ing 1t, in course of time, OF its fuel.
And with this in mind he was present

In the flutter OF an eyelash the explo-

Two minutes more, and Alan was ex.

when two should be made one who had
gone through fire and food, literally
as well as figuratively, for each 9TH

fore his vision. He viewed the world
as in glass, darkly.
He was aware of a decently fur

as a benevolent voice rolling sono-
rously forth from a black-clad pres.

ing opposite him; of questions asked
and responses made; OF a ring that
was magically conjured from some
store apparently maintained against
precisely similar emergencies: OF a
hand that took the hand that was to be
his wife's and placed it in his; of his
clumsy and witless bungling with the
task of fitting that ring to the finger
of his sweetheart's hand
And then he was aware OF a door
that banged violently in the hallway.
of the sound of a mans voice making
some indistinguishable demand: that
Roses hand was suddenly whipped
away. before he could fit on the ring.
that the study door was flung open and
that this animal OF Marrophat had
precipitated himself into the room.
He opened his mouth to protest.
and Marrophat silenced him with a
cry.

you're marrying? That woman is Ju.

Blankly Alan turned to the girl.

garment confessed the truth of Mar.

not enough, Judith confessed it doubly
with sudden outbreak of such rage
as never could have been brewed in
Roses gentle nature.
You devil!" she cried-and threw
herself in front of Marrophat with a
spring as 1.-THE as that of a leopardess.
Take warning now from me: keep
out of my way forever after this-or
take the consequences! God knows
