most folks were too busy to listen tc

that is, l thought had finished, and
kept right on out into the residential

ADJUSTED IN WRONG PLACE
How misunderstanding Of Use Of Life
Preservers Brought Death to
shlpwreeI<ed Persons.

A most vivid illustration Of the pow
er OF mere words over human beings
was once brought to the attention of
the French people by FrancisQue Sar-
cey.
After the wreck of q French liner
many passengers were found floating
drowned with llfe-preservers on.
These llfe-preservers were fastened
upon the bodies, but round the middle
instead Of under the arms. and the
greater weight of the upper part Of
the body had tipped the head under
wnter. and the person, Of course, was
inevitably drowned.
Now 1t appears that the greater
number OF persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
llfe-preserver is celnture de sauvetage,
or ''llfe-saving belt" This word celn-
ture suggests to the mind. In its mo-
ments Of disorder and unreadiness
such as a great catastrophe brings.
the idea Of putting on a belt, and,
rs a belt is put around the waist and
nowhere else. the frightened person In
stinctively adjusts the llfe-preserver
about the hips
The result Is that as soon as the
person 50 provided falls into the wa
ter his body tips over. with the heav-
Ter part downward. and the head q
plunged beneath the surface.

Arms Marian got
home Just before dinner time. 'Ah,'
she thought to herself. Gypsy will
have a nice dlnner-not just a meal
she has had to pick up as best she
could. 1t will be q real meal, and she
will have her milk In q fine saucer.
az. have brought a cat home said
Marian to her mother. I have named
her Gypsy as she is a poor little waif
cat, quite homeless and friendless.'
Fright away Gypsy was given nice
warm bowl of milk. And then Ma
RAMS family sat down for their din
ner.
Gypsy sat upon q bookcase. May
be she thinks she looks WISE said Ma
rlan. And Gypsy bllnked her eyes and
purred as though to say, I am q wise
cat. I know have good home. And
I have the sense to look happy
"While Marian and her family were
eating Gypsy would look at them from
time to time, but every time any Of
them turned to look at her, she would
put her head to one side and look OF
into space.
"She seemed to be saying, Maybe
I have been waif but I'm very proud.
And will not appear to be beggar.'
$50 from that day on, Gypsy always
had some milk before Marian began
her dinner, and then while the family
were eating Gypsy looked on from
the top of the bookcase. She never
begged for food, and she never an
noyed anyone while eating, for she was
q Gypsy cat with great deal Of
prldel
"Now one day Gypsy was upon the
bookcase when she moved her paw up
to her face. She wanted to be sure 1t
was quite clean for dinner, as she had
always been taught by her Mother Cat
to have clean face when she was
eating.
F'She licked her paw and washed her
face ever so carefully, and then when
she got down to have her milk, she felt
nice and neat.
each day her fur was becoming
softer and silkler and she was really
growing to be q very handsome cat.
She seemed to know 1t, too, for she
grew very fussy about her appearance
and took n long time making herself
neat and clean.
But after she got up on the book
case again, after having had her milk
she moved her paw so suddenly that
one Of the books fell down on the
floor with an awful crash and bang.
"'Oh,' shrieked Marian.
"'Dear me, what was that? asked
Marian's mother.
"EThat was simply book dropped
on the floor by Miss Gypsy Cat said
her Daddy.
"Now Gypsy looked very mournful
and ashamed. For a dignified, proud
cat to have done anything so stupid
and awkward as to have knocked a
book Off the bookcase made Gypsy
feel very badly.
"She began to cry a little and
jumped down from the bookcase as
though TO say.
