Little Francis was not to be fooled
twice.
The heavy black clouds had
raassed in the east and west, the
lightning was flashing fercely be-
tween the heavy, incessant rolling
of the thunder.
Francis was terribly frightened,
and his fond mother had gathered
her young hopeful into her arms and
tried logically to calm his fears.
Don't be afraid, darling. There's
nothing to fear. God sends the
thunderstorm to clear the air, water
the flowers and make it cooler for US.
Now, don't cry, dear; 1t won't harm
you, and everything will be better
when it's over
The little fellow listened intently,
and as his mother finished he looked
up at her gravely and said; mo, no,
mother, you talk exactly the way you
did last week when you took me to
the dentist to have my tooth pulled"

WANTED TO KNOW THE FIGURE
Fortune Hunters Mother Was Not
Dealing In Uncertainties, II
She Could Help 1t.

Miss Jeanette Glider, the brilliant
critic, toyed with a pink and gold
mustache cup at the mustache cup
tea concluding the Bad Taste exhibit
ton in New York.
1.-THE mustache cup" said Miss
Glider, holds it's own even better
than the hand-painted cuspidor. But,
after all, there is spiritual as we'll as
material bad taste, and spiritual
bad taste exhibition is now in order.
In the forefront Of it I'd put the
fortune hunter Not all our fortune
hunters come from across the water.
I heard of one the other day who be-
longs to the oldest family In Amer
lea.
But his family is very poor, and
so he and his mother have decided
that he must marry for money. They
were discussing recently, the pair of
them, western girl.
Her fortune is large but vague
said the mother. Besides, she is
gauche. Her feet are broad and fiat.
She has a gold front tooth. Her
French is execrable. She
oh, I could make something out
of her the young fortune hunter as
serted confidently.
Eyes, but how much-that's the
question: said his mother"

Mrs. Briggs is SO good-looking that
Mr.. Briggs seldom finds it in his heart
to be angry with her, but he was really
cross when she returned from Florida.
Il understand" he said, that you
passed yourself off as widow while
you were away. How about it,"
She admitted it.
You ought to be ashamed of your
SELF" said Briggs, "but / suppose you
are not"
"Of course, l am not" said Mrs.
Briggs serenely. 81 only did it on
Johnny's account l wanted him to

men were to him"

Child Acts SURGEONS Role.

Sarah Shaffer, thirteen years old, Of
Los Angeles, Cal, developed into Il
little heroine when her ive-year-old
sister fell on the sidewalk while at
play and shattered her elbow. DR..
Edward G. Wiley, chief police sur
geon, explained patiently over the tele-
phone how the splint should be put
on, and Sarah made such a good job
of it as to win the admiration of all
who saw the tiny patient when she ar
rived at the receiving hospital with
her little amateur nurse. The chill
dren's father is at the county hospital
and their mother went to visit him.
Maybelle fell and broke her arm. Sa-
rah called up the receiving hospital,
but owing to the distance was advised
to call one of the district doctors. She
could raise none, and again called the
receiving hospital. Doctor Wiley told
Sarah what to do to relieve the baby's
pain, while the ambulance raced out
to the Shaffer home, and Sarah obeyed
instructions to the letter.

PeIkey Ont of Running.
Arthur Pelkey, the French Canadian
heavyweight, whom Tommy Burns
year ago, has been put out Of the run
ming completely. After Pelkeys IN
fortunate battle with Luther McCarJy,
in the North Western Province OF Can
ada, he was heralded as the white
champion Of the world However, he
ran against snag on the Pacific coast
when he met GunbOat Smith. But he
was not discouraged and went to Aus
laurels- Last week Pelkey met sam
McNey, the negro heavyweight of
California. ana later Of France, in a 20
round battle at Melbourne, but the fin
ish came in the fourth round when
Pelkey was knocked out McVey is no
spring chicken at the game himself
and the fact that he beat Pelkey so de-
cisively and in such short time, re-
moves the latter as a white hope.
Lewis Shows Class.
Kid Lewis, who was featherwefght
champion Of England less than 4 year
ago, and who went to Australia under
the contract Of Snowy Baker. has de-
velOped into a high class lightweight
Al LII =-e-AANA- Lew Is Al Dh Gu himself 10
be a very good boy in the feather
weight class and won the title, but il
was hardly thought that he could jump
right into the lightweight division and
defeat the stars II was not a case of
taking on weight in Australia, as many
OF the boys have done in the past but
simply case Of natural development
Lewis was sent against one of the
hardest propositions in Australia when
he landed there-Herbert McCOy-WhO
is considered the equal Of any light
weight in the AntipOdes- In this battle
Lewis proved himself the best fighter
by outpOinting the clever Mccoy all the
way He followed this by defeating
Hughie Michigan, the Australian cham
pion, over the twenty round route
And now there is talk OF matching
him against either Young Shugrue, the
sensational New York lightweight or
Milburn SaylOr, the Indianapolis boy,
who has made good during his stay
there From all accounts Lewis must
be Of the highest class and the chances
are he will be heard from in his divi-
sion when he gets back to England.
