EVIDENTLY A HOPELESS CASE
nit That the 0ietaoraph Had
Helped Him.

certain young man Of Columbus
who is so hard Of hearing that he Oft
times carries a little dictagraph in
strument with him to help him follow
the conversation of his friends. was
among some Of his rural relatives last
week. There happened to be farmer
in the vicinity who had not heard a
word for years. The Columbus man
was introduced to him and referred
to his little instrument which helped
deaf persons. and offered to demon
strate it to him.
Il can't hear through those things
| have tried them all and none of them

Put this up to your ear and try 1t.
anyhow" suggested the visitor. The
farmer hesitated q while and then put
one end of the instrument to his ear.
To the surprise OF the Columbus man
the deaf farmer replied. when asked
in tone hardly above whisper.
Can you hear what | say?"
Nope. l can't hear q word. These
things don't do me any good"
Would you acknowledge 1t II they
would help your" was then asked him
in a still lower tone of voice. and the
answer came back promptly: Ger

OrIain OF Grain as Measure,

The grain, as n measure OF weight
has It's name from being originally the
weight of grain OF wheat. a statute
passed In England In 1866 ordained
tina, 81 grains OF wheat. taken from
the middle OF the ear and well dried
should make n heavyweight. " OF
which should make an ounce. while
IL ounces were to make n pound
To, pound therefore. consisted OF
1850 grains. But several centuries
later the pcnnyweight was divided into
"a grains. which makes the troy
pound $3.50 grains. The pennyweight
was the exact weight OF silver pen

Elyjno War Horse,

A correspondent OF the Milan Cor

story:
An Italian lieutenant recently rode
through one Of the villages on the
lsonzo front He dismounted before
the temporary quarters OF the com.
mander OF his regiment and tied his
horse to tree. When he entered the
house he heard the humming poso OF
IA large Austrian shell and q moment
later terrible explosion followed
The shell had struck small building
on the opposite side OF the street. An
immense cloud OF smoke and dust rose
and when 1t disappeared the horse OF
the officer was gone.
The air pressure caused by the ex
plosion had lifted the animal from
the ground and thrown It on the Hat
roof OF IA nearby house. where It was
found almost unhurt. II was no easy

1t made him profoundly happy to know
this with positiveness.
He called up the house Of Jim sar.

"All right" was the cheerful reply.

had kept out OF his voice all the long.

love! He would not trust even one
vibration OF his secret to a cold tele-

He set the door Of the vestry open
wide. Within the church. the organist
had conquered that battling run In the
mighty prelude of Bach. and the great
dim spaces up amid the arches were
pulsing in ecstasy with the tremendous
harmony. Outside. upon the back.

rose q futtering, a twittering, coo.

to the vestry yard.
Just a moment and Gail appeared
poised in the doorway. with q filmy
pink scarf about her shoulders. a sim
pie frock of delicate gray upon her
slender figure, her brown hair waving
about her oval face, a faint flush upon
her cheeks. her brown eyes sparkling
her red lips smiling up at him.
He had intended to tell her much

looked up at him, and laughed.
