Known In Nearly All Lands, 1t Has Q
Famous Family Tree.
The name John 10 one Of our best
also one of our Oldest. It Is found In
nearly all languages, and no matter
how disguised, from Juan to Johannes,

The Johns have q magnificent family
tree.
There was an apostle named John

anti-pope by the name of John. Three
kings Of Aragon and CASTLE. one at

nate, John the Perfect, John the Fear
less, John the Constant.
Then there was Jack of the Bean
Stalk, also Little John, who was not
little, but who, on the contrary. was
tall and strong, and who was one OF
the most impudent followers Of Robin
Hood.

STRENUOUS COUNTING.
A Case Of Fight or Marry That Had q
Happy Ending.


Happy Ending.
William Kenrick, Berkshire gen.
;leman of 100 years ago, left his prop
srty, which was considerable, to an
only daughter. This young lady had a
mind Of her own and, finding none Of
her suitors to her liking, simply deter
mined to wait until the right gentle
man should come along.
II so happened that one day she at
tended q wedding at Reading, where
she met young gentleman named
Benjamin Child. He was poor at
torney. With this handsome young
man the young lady fell violently In
love, but still she was cautious. She
reasoned with herself for several days,
trying to shake herself free of the sud-
den passion, but all in vain.
Then, feeling that something must
be done, but unable from confusion Of
mind to devise q proper course, she
took the extraordinary step of sending
the young man a letter demanding sat
isfaction for alleged injuries. She ap-
pointed time and place for the hostile
meeting.
Mr.. Child was much surprised and
quite at loss to conceive who the
challenger could be. By the advice Of
a friend he decided to go to the duel
ing place. Here he was met by the
young woman, who, much to his sur
prise, told him he would have to fight
her or marry her. He naturally chose
the latter, and, as the saying goes, they
lived happily ever afterward

Fame and Shyness.

In his book, "A Soldiers Memories >
Sir George Younghusband tells typi-
cal story of Rudyard Kipling and Cecil
Rhodes.
1t was during the Boer war, when
they came to camp and introduced
themselves unconventionally. AS they
We're leaving the soldiers gathered to
see and cheer them.
Said Cecil Rhodes hastily:
'Take off your cap; they are cheer
ing you."
Said Rudyard Kipling:
"No, they are not. They are cheering
you. Take Off your cap"
Then some one at their elbow sug.
gested:
II think they are cheering you both.
Whereupon both, clinging close to-
gether for support, sbyly took Off theil
caps.

Weather and the Spiders web,

One of the simplest Of natures ba.
rometers is q spiders web. When there
Is a prospect Of wind or rain the spider
shortens the 6laments by which Its
web is sustained and leaves It in this
state as long as the weather Is vari-
able. II It elongates its threads It Is
sign of fine, calm weather, the dura-
tion Of which may be Judged by the
length to which the threads are let out
If the spider remains inactive 1t Is
sign Of rain; II 1t keeps at work dur
ing rain the downpour will not last
long and will be followed by fine
weather Observation has taught that
the spider makes changes in Its web
every twenty-four hours and that II
such changes are made In the evening
just before sunset the night will be
clear and beautiful.

The "jack Of all trades" known ia

are the bane of any industry, and more
