sJIM" POEMS HIS FAV0RITEs
Apart From That, There Was a spe.
elaI Reason Why WhItcomb Riley
Liked That Ono.

James Whitcomb Riley and Joel
Chandler Harris appear in a story by
\ writer in the New York Sun. They
nad sought rest and recuperation in
\ hotel among the southern mountains
and wished to avoid the attempts OF
the other guests to lionize them. Much
against their wills, however, they were
constrained to appear at reading
from their own works, after having
been routed from secluded spot in
the woods to which they had retired.
A young elocutionist had the center
of the stage when they got to the no
tel. She led off by announcing a poem
by Mr.. Riley. She recited 1t. 1t was
about somebody named Jim. Riley
looked impressed.
Would you mind" he said when
she had finished, "reciting that again p

She did it the third time, and Riley
was even more affected.

had ended. II like that poem. It's a
Jim poem. l always like Jim poems
My own name Is Jim. l always read

Jim poems myself. But do you know
why I like this Jim poem better than
any other?"
The young woman eagerly asked
why. The assembled guests leaned
forward breathlessly to hear the an

JUST GETTING IN PRACTICE
Young Woman Had Excellent Reasons
for Her Frequent Journeys
on the Subway.

A young woman in New York devel-
oped q sudden fondness for subway
rides. It seemed to her friends to
amount to a mania. Curious symp-
toms were that she insisted on having
somebody go with her, that she always
chose express trains and the last car
of the train, where the noise is loud
est, and, finally, that she kept talking
all the time without regard to whether
her companion replied or not.
At last one of her friends became
so concerned that she spoke to the
girl about 1t.
Don't worry" replied the young
woman. 81 am all right l thought

Of thing. have taken the job of COM
panion to a woman who is horribly

IL Pleased Him.

"You never know what child will
do next" remarked mother last
week. Recently, for instance, 1
bought some toothpowder highly fla
vored with wintergreen and gave it
to my eldest boy, Charlie, who is ten.
I've been having trouble in getting
Charlie to clean his teeth properly
and thought the new powder, because
of it's intense flavor, might encourage
him.
"a couple Of weeks later I noticed
that lot Of the new toothpowder Vas
gone. Feeling much pleased, said to
Charlie: How is the new powder
doing? Is it keeping your teeth nice
and clean?'
"I don't know was the reply.
Don't know-haven't you been
cleaning your teeth every day with it?
Most of it's gone

MADE A NEW CLASSIFICATION

remarked to New Yorker, "but when

becomes a bit more of a novelty. Not

Plants From Belgium.

There is pathos in the fact, recently
announced by government officials,
that during the last three months
there have come to this country from
the most afflicted nation in the world,
larger numbers of beautiful plants
and flowers than from all the rest of
Europe combined.
Little Belgium, smoking, desolate
waste, is seeking to save her flowers,
and she has taken the place which, in
times of peace, is held by France. The
plants are being sent to the United
States through Holland. After their
inspection for plant diseases, they are
turned over to brokers, who sell them
to individuals.

PROPER WAY TO BREW TEA
Matter That Housewives Do Not Seem
to Understand as Well as They
Should.

It is unquestionably true that house
knew more about the tea plant IT.
self. The brief explanation below re-
veals the cause of sleeplessness, head
aches, etc.
Tea drinking is said to be on the in
crease. and when properly made, tea
forms a wholesome and refreshing
beverage, but when made in that hap
hazard fashion so often demonstrated
In the average home, it results in the
discomfort of headaches, sleeplessness
and nerve troubles of various kinds.
Where, then, is the science In tea
making, you will ask. There are as
many as 20 different ingredients
found in tea, but those that concern
us chiefly are theme, alkaloid, tannin
and an aromatic oil Theme is the
brain stimulant which causes the &C
ton of tea in our system.
Strong tea contains large percent
age Of theme and can be taken by
few in consequence. Tannin is the in
6ISulSuI NulCu 5lSoS IACl piIeSA, 90
tringent quality, which, if taken in ex-
cess, proves harmful. The aromatic
oil, of course, gives the flavor and
pleasant aroma which to large ex-
tent determines the value of the tea.
The one fact that must be borne in
mind is that tannin will not dissolve
in hot water as quickly as theme, so
that after an infusion of from four to
six minutes most of the aromatic oil
and theme will have been drawn out,
but little tannin. This is what is
wanted to produce a drink that is
wholesome and soothing. If allowed
to brew longer than six minutes far
too much tannin is extracted, and the
partaker will suffer in some way,
either with indigestion or some such
indisposition.

No Fortune Telling In German,

Fortune tellers now are forbidden
to practice in any part of the German
empire. Soon after the war broke
out, they began to do an enormous
business with relatives Of soldiers in
the field, who wanted to know how
things were going with them. Visits
to the fortune tellers often had tragic
consequences, as many of the callers
were in high state Of nervous ten
sion. The uncertainty Of relatives re-
garding their men folk at the front
has been aggravated by an alleged
muddle of the field postal organiza-
ton, which is being severely criti-
sized by the newspapers.
