What Everybody Knows.-The Sun
day school teacher was talking to her
pupils on patience. She explained her
topic carefully, and, as an aid to un-
derstanding, she gave each pupil a
card bearing the picture Of a boy
fishing.
Even pleasure" she said, requires
the exercise of patience. See the boy
fishing; he must sit and wait and wait.
He must be patient"
Having treated the subject very full
ly she began with the simplest, most
practical question:
"And now can any little boy tell
me what we need most when we go
fishing?"
The answer was quickly shouted
with one voice:
Bait"

a mayoral banquet in small provin-

leave went to the cloak room for his
coat and hat. He couldn't help no
ticing the woebegone look on the at
tendants face. The poor man ap-
peared worried and sad, and every
little while he sighed and muttered to
himself.
you seem upset." remarked the
guest sympathetically.
Il am upset, sir" said the attend
ant.
What is the trouble? Haven't the
guests tipped you we'll tonight"
The attendant answered in an ex-
cited voice:
Its not only, sir. that they haven't
tipped me, but they've taken the quar-
ter dollar that 1 put on the tray for a

The Cause of 1.-TWO men on train
were apparently old acquaintance,
and they were in a jovial mood. Both
were gray, but each had a luxuriant
head of hair. Near them sat stout
party with a shining dome that was al
most destitute Of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face
tious remarks about silver locks, then
INDUCED in some pleasantries about
the thinning of the thatch," with
casual references to doorknobs and
billiard balls, much to the amusement
of the passengers, but to the evident
discontinue Of the baldheaded man.
The talk finally developed into an
argument of the cause of badness,
and after considerable jocularity the
pair turned to the pearly pated
stranger and one said:
my friend and have been discuss
ing the cause of badness, but we
can't seem to agree. Would you mind
telling us what you regard as the real
cause of badness"
The stranger wheeled about, eyed
his questioners fiercely and snorted:

Precoeious WilIie.-Reference was
made to precocious youngsters at a
recent dinner in Washington, when
Senator George C. Perkins Of Califor-
mia, was reminded of boy who came
under that head.
The boy, whose name was Willie
the senator said, lived in a happy
home, together with his father, moth
er and a sweet sister of &c summers
or so.
One evening a veteran of the Civil
war was a guest at the house. and af-
ter dinner the entire party sat in the
parlor and listened to a recital of the
veterans adventures.
1T was no picnic. assure you,
feelingly continued the veteran. In
all 1 was engaged five times, and"

precocious Willie. THAT was moth

In a certain New England home,
even so late as forty years ago, all the
sugar used was made on the farm
from maple sap. The starch was
strained from boiled potatoes, the sal
eratus was scraped, as pearly ash
(hence called "pear-ash") from burn
ed wood. The blankets and most of
the wooden outer and under garments
were spun and woven from wool rails
ed on the place. The big flax-patch
supplied the linen, slowly and labori-
ously hetchelled and finally manufac-
tured into wonderful patterns. The
meat eaten was all home-raised. The
pork and beef were salted, dried,
picked or chopped into sausage by
the women Of the family. All OF their
vegetables and fruit grew in their
gardens and orchards, and were trans
formed in their own busy kitchen into
jellies, marmalades, preserves, and
pickles, and there was always a bar
rel of cider-apple sauce on a stout
shell near the DacR QOOr. "A ldlioi Cos
came to the house occasionally to cut
and partly make the mems clothes
(Which lasted, so to speak, forever,
but the women cut and made their
own clothes. Palm-leaf hats were
worn around the farm by both men
and women, who turned an honest
penny by braiding them also for mer-
chants in the nearest large town. The
stockings were all knit at home.
I'VE don't have to get much Of any
thing from the store but tea and
coffee" said the bent and wrinkled,
but soft-voiced and sweet-faced far
mer's wife to me one day, and half
the time we drink some kind OF herb
tea. We like it first rate"

olden time. Now it Is done almost en-
tirely in the factories-yet still it has
to be done by women. That is the Sc

The hobo will always give something
