Chun Saved Himself.

A little dog, unlicensed, had been found in the streets and taken to the pound. He was an affectionate animal and greatly endeared himself to all about the place. They called him Chum. and he joyfully responded whenever his name was spoken. As, the days passed other poor. homeless dogs were put to death. Finally came Chum's last day of grace. and no one had come to claim him. The next morning dawned, and the man who was to kill Chum called him into the yard. Chum danced and wagged his tail, no doubt thinking something good was in store for him. The man then said: Well. Chum, your time has come. You'd bet ter say your prayers" Immediately the little forepaws were crossed, the little head bowed, and Chum said his prayers. As the little body was still in this attitude of reverence step was heard. The attendant looked up and saw the superintendent standing there. There were tears in the eyes of each. Chum is still living, but instead of be- ing nobody's dog he is now every body's.-St. Louis Republic.

Waves are used on the ocean and in hair. They come in crests. breakers and curling irons. They are also put up in ether when they cannot be seen. and you have to take the dealers word that you are getting your moneys worth
 Warm waves are common to both summer and winter. In summer they come just when. owing to the delight. full weather and a careful perusal of the Old Farmers Almanac. you have made all your arrangements to stay home. In winter, when you have filled your furnace with two or three tons of coal and turned on all the drafts. until you have bed of coals thai would take blue ribbon in hades and nobody can put it out but the fire de partment.

The Norman HOyez,"

Not many persons realize that the court crier says "oyez. oyez, oyez." in- stead of "harken, harken, harken," be- cause of a chance visit that William the Conqueror made to an English court almost 900 years ago.
 William had overrun England, seized the government and placed himself at its head. Happening 10 enter court room, he heard the crier call the as semblage to order in English. William rebuked him and on the spot decreed that the business of all English courts should be transacted in Norman French. his native tongue. Afterward the courts went back to English, but to this day ''oyez. oyez, oyez," clings to court customs wherever the English language is spoken as a reminder of the great Norman who whipped King Harold in the battle of Hastings.
