Table Takes Root in Yard.

S. S. Wiser of Reading. Pa, had
unique experience with a willow
wood table which he placed in his
yard several weeks ago. From this
experience he is convinced that the
year 1916 will bring bumper crops.
Wiser discovered few days ago
that the table had sprouted and had
begun to bud and shoot When he
tried to remove the piece of furniture
he found that the four legs had taken
root in the soil and the table is now
part of the vegetation Of the yard
Should he now wish to remove the
table he will have to dig.

were squatted in that foul place
and chatted with them. In piece of
mirror stuck up on the parados

of the Strand at it's narrowest point.
There's an Alleman that comes out o.

He came in with smile. but, at
nrst glimpse of his visitors. it faded
swiftly into look Of terror. But Hall
was game; he pulled himself together
and smiled again. 1t was with fairly
creditable expression of affability that
ne exclaimed: We'll, this is an unex-
pected pleasure!" He went from one

Flodie nodded assent. "All right"

sardonically.
AS soon as he had gone Flodie rose
and tiptoed to the half-open door She
watched and listened, now, with far
more interest than she had displayed
before Hall. Inside, the voices rose
and fell in animated conversation:
Mrs. Royalton's always sentimental
and reproachful. Carolyn's high and
merry, Rosamund's surly contralto
note. Flodie's face changed from
hope to fear, from hatred to mirth.
She was so absorbed in the scene that
she did not notice when the hall door
opened. and Mr. Smallish entered
bearing newspaper.
He stared at her, then coughed
Flodie whirled round and faced him.
