red over the young butcher. 1t was
becoming more and more difficult for
her to find hard words to apply to him.
When last he had passed her his face
almost wore smile
She was meditating very deeply on
this weighty subject when Sam and
his cart and calf came In sight OF the
road. He was driving like all butchers
drive. The horse was at his best trot,
and the driver was looking around to
view the landscape. That horse was
headed in an almost straight line for
the girl. She saw it and gasped She
saw it and hastily rose up and rather
more hastily the treacherous soil under
her feet crumbled away, and she went
tumbling down the bank and landed in
the river with a great splash. She did
not know when the butcher pulled up
his horse and jumped from his cart.
She did not know when he came limp
ing after her. She did not know when

In fact, Miss Sue Smith was not
much on the know for a good many
hours and then came back to her nor

to her father:
There! That settles 1t. You see If

All that was needed was something

Hard on the Proofreadsr.

Getting typographical errors out of
dictionaries is a task beside which
that little Augean stable affair of Her
cules was an afternoon snap.
When the Oxford edition Of the Bible
was published the proofs were read
and reread ten times. Then q reward
Of $3.50 was offered TO any one who
should find q typographical blunder.
One was found in the first chapter of
Genesis. Dictionary proofreading is
even more difficult than Bible proof
reading.
There Is tradition that a man who
read proofs Of the Lords Prayer for
that Oxford edition went insane out of
fear lest he made a blunder in it.

Mother Eyes

Could some famed scientist but analyze
The occult power that rests In Mother
Eyes:
Could he equip each mortal with this sight
That looks through all the wrong and sees
the right
Perhaps the world would flnd that many
n knave
Beneath his rascars skin is true and brave
And many a scoundrel, hated and revled.
To this strange sight is but an errant child
oh, gentle reader. Mother Eyes that dimly
scan
A vacillating wreck-and see n man,
II this be blindness, then your God is true
For all your pain he is rewarding you.
