A Little GIrI's Pride.

When / was youngster I was ann
ious to wear glasses and insisted that
my eyes were weak. My mother took
me to an oculist, writes Mrs. G. MD,
in the Chicago Herald, and I noticed
after he had tested my eyes he and my
mother had a consultation. + went
home with the glasses, with the In
struction I was to wear them to school
the next day for the first time. ]
obeyed the instructions. On the way
to school I met several Of my chums
who, of course, remarked about the
new addition. was quite proud Of
them and said:
"Oh. yes, can see SO much better
now"
Giggles went around the class and
finally the teacher came to see what
the trouble was. Then she too laugh
ed. She asked me why had to have
such thick, heavy glasses. Taking
them off l discovered only the frames
and no glass in them at all
The explanation was that I didn't
need glasses and mother had leagued
herself with the oculist to cure me Of
the foolish desire.

How They Do II.

"What chances actors take" You
may exclaim when you see motion
picture showing man and lion, with
q none too pleasant expression, in a
hollow log together, each apparently
unaware of the presence of the other.
1t seems pity to spoil the effect Of
such good thriller by telling the truth
about the filming. The lion alone was
taken during one exposure Of the film.
When he had bowed himself out of the
log and back into his cage the man was
allowed to take the center Of the
screen, or rather Of the log, and was
photographed In proper relation to the
lion, on the second exposure of the
same film. But on the screen, of course,
they both appear in the log at the same
time.-Popular Science Monthly.

Haunted Canteen.

The old naval canteen is one of the
sights of Wei-hei-wei. 1t was original
ly Chinese building, and is still dec
Grated with Chinese carvings and til
ing, and haunted, according to the
coolies, by the ghost of a Chinese adj
miral. In the Chino-Japanese war, the
Anticipated Chinese feet was blown to
pieces by the japanese. The COM
mander of one of the lost vessels COM
mitted suicide in the building that is
now the naval canteen, to expiate what
he considered his disgrace. The mast
of his sunken flagship can still be seen
projecting bare and stiff In the waters
of Wei-hel-wei harbor.

"But ! do admit It."

"But ! do admit It."
Because you know It is my work,
but deep down in your heart I don't
believe You think I haye any ability
at ALL"
"That Is unfair. That is just a
little notion you have got into your
head. I think your writing Is fine.
You have never given me chance to
tell you what I really think about It"
Perhaps I will some day soon," she
answered with shade Of mystery in
her tone, but she changed the subject
SO quickly he did not notice 1t.
When Brandon was taking of his
coat before retiring, later on in the
night, piece Of paper fluttered to the
floor. He must have gathered it up
with his coat when he took 1t from
the chair In Mai guerite's room, he de-
cided as he stopped to pick 1t up.
1t was letter to Marguerite, and
when his eyes lit upon one sentence he
could not refrain from reading the
whole thing.
It was from a publishing house, one
Of the best-known ones, and 1t con-
cerned a book they had published for
her. "'Odds and Ends Is one Of the
best books we have published this
season and we think you we're unwisa
not to have 1t appear under your real
name," was the sentence that caused
him to gasp. He finished the letter,
then dropped it with a groan. The
paper had gone to press half hour
before and his review on "Odds and
Ends" would be waiting on Mar
guerite's desk the next morning.
He didn't get much sleep that night.
He couldn't remember Just what he
had put in that review, but he knew 1t
was terrible. He presented haggard
appearance at the Office next morning,
and 1t was with shaking fingers that
he opened the paper to read his col
umn. He scanned the page in vain.
The review on "Odds and Ends" had
been left out!
"You nearly made an awful mess Of
things last night, Houston"
Brandon turned to face the editor.
"How3" he asked.
"Why, your review Of Odds and
Ends That story was by a local
girl-in the city and I'm trying to Ell.
gage her for our woman's page. Lucky
for me I happened to pick up your
copy in the composing room last
night"
II should say It was!" Brandon
| grabbed the editors hand. "Why, man.
you've saved my life! I'm engaged to
be married to the writer Of that book
and would have lost her sure If that
review had got In"
"She1l be great for our woman's
pagel"
"Shell never write a word for it."
Brandon laughed as he rummaged
among his books for "Odds and Ends.
"After she reads the review l am 60.
ing to write on this book, she'll be-
come Mrs. Brandon Houston or I'll
miss my guess"
