Insisted Neiahhor Was "pevil.n

She was a mOtherly old soul who
wore glasses and she insisted, vehe-
mcntly, that chat woman next door
was a regular devil"
And when the police court COM
plant clerk asked her to explain fur
Their she said: "She's a spiritualist.
She sits up all night putting evil
thoughts into my head. She won't let
me sleep"
1t was a declaration that made the
woman next the mOtherly old soul at
the counter open one eye wide in
amazement. That woman couldn't
open both eyes, for her husband had
BACKED and closed one.
The complaint clerk tried to soothe
the motherly old woman, but she kept
on insisting that her neighbor sat up
nights transferring evil thought from
bedroom to bedroom. She wanted
something done, she said. for as she
insisted over and over, "No decent per-
son can do that"
The clerk had to humor her and it
was a long time before he finally got
rid of her.-Detroit Free Press.

NANCY WAS ARMED
Demure Little Goat There With
the Hatpin.
AS Result Very Surprised and Dis
consulate Dog "Stood Not Upon
the Order of His Going" but
Fled Hastily.

My Nancy is as trim and charming
a little goat as you ever wish to see.
She wears a fawn-colOred coat with
cream trimmings, has cOnfding ways,
and yet a gentle dignity, withal, which
should protect her. Since she dedicat-
ed herself to tending the yearling colts
in the barnyard she has seen little of
the outside world. Indeed she is one
of the least sophisticated of her kind.
l had right to be alarmed when
dissOlute vagabond of a dog leaped
over the fence and began marrying the
colts; much more was l troubled when
Nancy arose from a SieSta in the hay
loft and lightly dropped from the hay
door to the ground. For that degen-
crate collie fastened upon her lust
full eye; the twitch of his n0stril BODIED
i'll from the start. And yet he should
have misdOubted a creature of such
gymnastic ability, however much she
smelled like a simple sheep.
He boldly approached her; she tried
to discourage his attentions and set
good example to the colts by main
tanning a cold and unseeing gaze. He
came the closer. Now she stepped
away, Stiflly, very mush on her dignity.
He followed up. She stood still, OBJ.
trusively turning her back to his atten.
tons. This disconnected him; he had
planned to catch her by the throat.
Cautiously he edged over to the side;
she let him come. He gathered him
self to leap upon her. Then as he
arose, she flashed about; he landed
with his diaphragm poised on her slen-
der horns.
A fatal injury was not within her
power, but it was not needed. He
sprawled to earth with an anguished
yelp, lit running, and cleared the gate
at his second leap. That was no gay
deceiver no masterful betrayer self.
confident of his allure, that fleetine
form which spurted gravel behind each
eager stride.
Nancy watched it 90. There seemed
almost an expression of regret in her
amber eyes she twiddled an impatient
tail, then, primmer than ever, went to
finish her nap. But a diversion had
been welcome in the virtuOus mOnOtOny
of her days-and the good old hatpin
trick worked again-John Breck in De-
troit Free Press.

The Poetry Society Of America ap-

fails to provide for the dropping of a

HAD LAUGH ON GERMAN SPY
How Charles M. Schwab Made q

Charles NJ. Schwab had an adven-

Mr.. Schwab went out to Chicago
on some munitions business, and the
spy logged him like Il shadow all the
way-dogged him all over the Windy
city, too.
zone evening, to fool the fellow, Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms in
the hotel library, and then he tore a
couple of the kilograms up, scattered
them on the floor and hurried from
the room.
THE spy, who was, of course, right
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed, and so after Il bit he stole back on
tiptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise.
what he saw made him smile. The
spy was down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram.
"Mr. Schwab, standing in the door
way, gave II loud laugh. Then he
said:

ever your name is, I'm pleased to see
that you Germans care more about
