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 young mother
who, after her first baby had been
born, hurried to a 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.

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Fair Seaside Visitor Satisfied She Had
Seen Remarkable Government
Sailing Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at
Onset and during the course OF the
sunny afternoon took a stroll on the
beach. At one point they came upon
an improvised breakwater, where
some resident had filed bags with
sand and piled them in breastworks

croaching upon his land during the
stormy season.
One of the young ladies was curious

the bags were for.

her companion with due gravity. "The
water in Onset bay originally was
fresh, popularity of nature which
has puzzled scientists. 1t seemed too
bad to deprive the place of seashore
advantages so the government took
the matter In hand, filed the bags
with salt and thereby has impaired

The sudden disappearance of the

smoke room of the railway hotel three
men we're discussing 1t with many
grimaces and sinister hints, and the
talkative young woman behind the bar

Mukden Water Project.

A Chinese company under the name
Of Tien Pc Kung Ssu has petitioned
the governor general at Mukden for
permission to install waterworks in
Mukden. The proposed capital is ST.
100000 small coin. about 100000
United States currency, in 100000
shares of $40 each. The amount to
be paid up before starting work is
100000 small coin, the remainder to
be paid up when required. Such a
scheme is doubtless workable and
would be profitable If properly man
aged, for Mukden has population of
175,000.
The scheme does not include piping
for houses, but the water is to be
conveyed to street hydrants from
which every householder will be al
lowed to draw his own supply. Those
who wish to have water in their
houses will be able to do so later by
paying the cost of laying pipes and
making necessary connections. -
