Usually the Way

When young Bingley graduated
from high school his family couldn't
decide what to make of him. His
father wanted him to go to law
school and his mother wanted him
to study for the ministry and become
a missionary. while his uncle John
thought he ought 10 take up medi-
cine
What did they deoide?"
They didn't decide anything. The
boy just drifted into the hay and feed

Bill's SOmniloauy


Bill Jones had been out dining.
And out wining with the boys,
And when at last he landed home,
He made a fearsome noise.
With the latch key long he fumbled,
Then he stumbled up the stairs;
He bumped into the table and
up-ended all the chairs.
Then, as though he had an illness,
Came the stiffness of the tomb,
And 1t lasted till friend wiley
Turned the light up in his room.
She meant to roast the laggard,
But he staggered like a Mutt,
Standing there before the mirror
With his two eyes tightly shut.
Il "a see" said she, you've guzzled
But I'm puzzled mighty deep
Why you stand before a mirror
When you cannot even peep"
= guess you're right" says Billy,
I'm as silly as a sheep
! was trying-hic-love, to see Just
How l look when I'm asleep.

Was His Humor Conscious?

A young omar in Pittsburgh was
that city's leading dry goods stores in
an attempt to select what would
make an attractive skirt for the "a

selected the availability of several
patterns.
But" said the young woman,

Without a 2limmer of a smile, and
in a perfectly correct tone for a sales
man TO assume, he replied
Too loud for awnings--just right

Lightnino's Affinity For Oak,

Electricity in the clouds, like its companion lower down, loves to seek the earth, the great reservoir of all electricity, and it finds the most available way to do so, choosing al- ways the best conductor. conspicu- ous among which are the much ma ligned lightning rods, the high trees or the elevated steeples. It has its choice of trees as we'll as other things and will leap over half an acre of trees to find an oak, for which it appears to have a special attraction, and it will pass a high point to find building that has metal about it.

Remorse at Last.

A young man had lost his aunt. He seemed so deiected thereby that a friend, aware of the true situa- ton, asked:
 "Why do you look so sad? You never appeared to care for the old lady?"
 q didn't," said the youth dole fully, "but I was the means of keep ing her in a lunatic asylum for a number of years. She has left me all her money, and now I have got to prove that she was of sound mind"

The carnation was cultivated by ancient Greeks, who gave it the name of Dianthus, flower of the gods. They used it for making chaplets, whence the name Corona ton" was derived.

 An hour afterward Winona emerged on the funny. squat little piazza of the bungalow. radiant in a gauzy gown of pink liberty chiffon. Mrs. Spence caught her by the hand and drew her up to the small coterie already assembled and waiting for her.
 "Mr. Grayson, Miss Paulding," she said conventionally.
 Winona started, flushed, paled and poised herself admirably. She held out her hand. Dick had risen and was pressing her fingers with elaborate cordiality. but his own were cold with excitement, and he subdued his voice to hide its un- steadiness.
 The group fell into conversation. Then. two by two, they drifted away, leaving them together, alone. The moon had come up, flooding ev- erything with it's magic white light till it was as clear as day.
 Young Grayson looked at Vino na, and she met his glance with an indignant flash of her eyes.
 "What made you run away from me, Mona ?" he asked gravely.
 "You! Why, l was not even dreaming of your she retorted, with pink cheeks.
 Evidently. That is why asked you the question"
 "You have forfeited all right to ask me questions of any sort" she flung back unguardedly and bit her lips when it was too late.
 "Winona. what do you mean by that?" His eyes held hers domi- nantly, and she found her lips fram- ing the words despite herself.
 'That other woman-that-that your wifep' She blurted it out in sheer desperation at last.
 "Ahw And, considering the gravity of the situation, her con- panion did most remarkable thing he laughed uproariously. When his mirth had somewhat subsided he bent over and caught her little hands in his big ones and held them. His words fell rapidly:
 ''The dear old governor took it into his head to marry a second time when down in Richmond last month. An urgent telegram called him back to Washington on busi- ness, and he was forced to leave her behind. As luck would have it, the very day he was scheduled to ar rive he was taken with the grip. l had to go to the train to meet the lady, while he remained in the apartment to receive her."
 He paused a moment for breath. Then he went on: T found your note in my box about 10 o'clock. It hurt me, and it made me angry too. l put down everything and took the first train south in response to pressing invitation from Jack"
 A swift little sob of relief escap- ed Winona's lips. She looked up with luminous eyes. The color surg ed into her face.
 "But-but we were never more than friends. There was nothing 1-you-there never was anything between us." She finished with flash of the old coquetry. Her lips were still parted-scarlet, humid, tremulous. Young Grayson made no effort to resist temptation.
 "But there was going to be- there is, and there always will be ?" A step sounded on the gravel walk. "Answer me-quick~

Then he flew away straight to Cha-
grac, the ogre, and told him about the
terrible Boulamois.
Il don't believe a word of it, re-
piled Shagrac, but still he was very
uneasy about these Boulamois, as peo-
pie are always uneasy about an I'M
known danger.

Now shagrac, the Ogre, and the
King of the Black Gnomes, both OF
whom hated the Queen of the Fairies
for her goodness, put their wicked
heads together and plotted what evil
they might do her
Every time We have contriyed
harm against her, we have done so
separately" they said one to the
other, "and every time that miserable
little Squank, her favorite goblin, has
upset our plans. Now, let US join to-
gether and see If together we cannot
ruin her beautiful fairyland and bring
sorrow to her and her court"
And SO these evil creatures agreed
that on a certain dark night the Ogre
with all his vassals and the King with
all his wicked gnomes should march
across the stream that bounded fairy
land and lay waste all that beautiful
country.
Now it happened that one of Queen
Esmeralda's dragon-flies that was
| wandering about the world in search
of information overheard this CONVEX
sation between the Ogre and The
Gnome King. AS fast as his fleet
wings could carry him he fastened
back to the palace of the Queen and
told her the terrible news.
Oh, Queen!" he cried, "the wicked
Ogre, Shagrac, and the King Of the
Gnomes have plotted to join their
forces and destroy all this beautiful
fairyland; and they will be so strong
that nothing can resist them" and the
dragon-fly burst into tears.
Then the Queen and all the fairies
at the court wept and walled and
wrung their hands in despair, for 1t
seemed that nothing could resist the
terrible power of these wicked Great
ures. Their cries reached little
, in the garden,
What is the matter, oh, little
Queen" he exclaimed, when he found
Esmeralda and all the court batned
in tears.
"Oh, little Squank," replied the
Queen, that terrible ogre and the
wicked gnome king are coming with
all their hosts of evil on a certain
dark night to destroy our beautiful
fairyland, and nothing can save us
from their power" Then little Squank
went off by himself and thought his
very hardest.
