HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
OF Course Young Mother Could Only
Reason That the Fault Must Be
With the Scales.

The story is told Of a young mother
who, after her first baby had been
born, hurried to q hardware store to
purchase a pair Of scales, that she
might be able to keep tabs on the re-
markable growth Of her first born:
When she got them home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch Of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried the scales back,
stating that they were not satisfac-
tory. Asked by the storekeeper what
the difficulty was, she replied:
Il think the scales are not right. My
baby did not weigh as much as think
she ought to-"
Did 1t ever occur to YOU" asked the
hard.hearted seller of hardware, that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?"
She saw the point and kept the
scales.-Brockton Enterprise.

Labyrlnths Of 6arbed Wire.
It did not seem possible to me that

1t is impossible to thread ones way

and in these trenches are the soldiers

It until you drop down into their

Here they are with their periscopes

In q trench some hundreds Of yards
