Too Much Pity

aunt, and | know that, like the rest
of us, she has some trying ways. And
then, too, it's hard to have a third
person always in the house, no mat

In the hostess cheeks, during this
speech the color had been slowly
rising. When her visitor finished, she
spoke in the hesitant, word choOsing
manner of one who is trying to say
something difficult in just the right
way
She Didn't Want to be Pitied
Thank you, Mrs. Martin, it's
awfully good of you to call me pa

not to pity me?"
At that, the visitors color also
heightened.

so well, and we're such friends, don't
let me spoil it. I'll tell you just
why said that, and then you'll

went on, "people began to pity me

Things went on like that until by.

The Conductors Baton.

According to the investigations of
Frenchman, the credit Of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully. the
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his invention Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors were in the
habit Of pounding on the floor with
their feet or clapping their hands to
mark the time. Lully found it weari-
some to keep his foot constantly in mo-
ton and SO used stick to strike the
floor and beat time. He used pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that it
struck his foot and made deep
wound. He paid no attention to the
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death. After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton. and it was
ultimately brought to it's present form.

ate, crunching the bones to powder be-
tween his long idle teeth. He slept,
awoke in the darkness Of another
aight and slept again to another sun.
