the same after that. They told him he
mustn't smoke that vulgar, shocking
old pipe while wearing the lovely
jacket. Everybody thought he was
cured of the deadly corncob. He quit
smoking the pipe, and instead brought
home bale Of cigars.
He made a handsome figure, wear

it. We left him, smoking happily by
the stove. In one hour we returned
Uncle Peters was still consuming
cigars. On the floor lay the family
cat It did not raise its head at our
footsteps. 1t would never look up
again. The picture frames on the
walls had turned green.
Uncle Peters denied that his Flor de

Useful gifts often have way OF
making themselves useful when you

The total number of deer killed during
the 1915 open season, according to re-
ports received by State Commissioner
Titcomb, is $3.50. 1t is believed that be-

least 5000. From reports received it is
indicated that in the 5000 there were 336
which weighed less than 100 POUNDS and
III that weighed more than $50 pounds
each. OF the $3.50 deer reported $500

Nero's "Lorqnette."

Nero, who was nearsighted, had a
small transparent jewel, probably an
accidentally formed lens, through
which he watched the sports in the
arena. The principle of the lens not
being known, the power of the jewel
was supposed to be of magical origin
and the gem was regarded as very
wonderful talisman.
