As neither one of the mice would give in to the other, they kept talking and talking, until at last the quail said< What are you two quarrelling about ?" and when the mice said: About a stalk of wheat, we both want,'s the quail laughed and laughed.
 We'll said both Of the mice, I've don't see anything to laugh at. We both want the wheat for we are hun gry.''
 Then the quail laughed all the harder and said: While you were quarrellins I. ate up the wheat and I was laughing because you were so foolish as to .duarreI instead of look ing out to see that no one ran away with your supper
 The two mice looked at each other and then they laughed and they both said: T guess we were very foolish and deserve to go without our supper.''
 Now the wise quail knew they would be. sorry. SO she said: tsCome with me. am sure can find some wheat that is much better than this and we will find it and all eat together"

 Dear Miss LilDbey:

I do everything to be popular with girls. but some how none of them take to me, do what I will A few days ago a dread full thing happened. received a let which. it stated. was to be at the. home of a girl who lived on the out skirts of town.

 MARIE The trick was one of the most con temptible ever heard of. I marvel that sweet young girls should stoop to such a cruer act to wound the heart of a school mate.

ACQUIR1NG GRACE.

1T would prefer grace to beauty a. dancer told me recently. She had just completed the one hundredth performance of a musical comedy in which her dance was the, most beau- tifu1 number.
 The truth is that beauty is grace and grace is beauty. Grace of car riage means beauty of form, grace of expression (there is such a thlng) means beauty of feature, grace of voice and manner mean charm, which Is but another expression of beauty.
 Everyone associates feminity with grace. They seem insepara.ble, and grace being so easy to acquire they should never be separate.
 Think of how you look at all times. Not in a self-conscious manner. but by snconscfous1y posing in the cor awkward positions. Balance your body as 1t was meant to be balanced, and don't try to shake the earth ev- cry time you step.
 Carry your body strai gnt. but try your best to avoid stiffness. Take an interest in things, and be alert look ing Get a rhythm a harmony into everything you do.
 Dancing by the way, can make you unusually graceful or unusually sswk- ward have known many who could dance the ballroom dances welt but wh were positively awkward. yet have never known a. stage dancer to be ungraceful in carriage The reason ig that the latter style of danc- ing requires every muscle to respond to the harmony of the dances and to fall into play at the sound of the rnu-
 Ballroom dances are planned by those who ars dressed in stiff, formal clothes; and must therefore be limit ed to the things one can do in a dress

Editor KillgOre and ''The Worm"
There's an old adage that the
early birds catches the worm," and
if it still holds good Editor Anthony
Killgore, of the Hunterdon County
Democrat, will be next surrogate of
Hunterdon county.
Brother Kilgore announces his
candidacy in another column of the
Record, and we think we can stretch
a point, as an independent newspaper
and say that we feel quite sure he
will be elected by goodly majority.
It's about time some Hunterdon
county newspaper man copied off,
something good, just as a precedent
for the rest of us, and we feel quite
sure that if the Pennington brother
lands the job there will be manifest
desire upon the part of the public
for more of the species.

held two parlor meetings and an in
