Mr.. Platypus.
"Then you should have said what
you meant in the first place instead
Of wasting all this valuable time" said
Mrs. Platypus.
"Why is the time valuable and why
shouldn't 1 waste it?" asked Mr.. Platy-
pus. Il am sure a platypus should
have some rights in the world. He's
a part of it."
"But a queer part" said Mrs. Platy-
pus.
You are as rude to yourself as you
are to me when you say that" said
Mr.. Platypus, $50 1 don't mind"
"Glad of that" said Mrs. Platypus.
"Why is time valuable and why
shouldn't 1 waste it if 1 want to-"
asked Mr.. Platypus.
Because it is valuable, as the same
time never comes again"
''Two o'clock comes every day at two
o'clock and six o'clock comes very day
at six o'clock, and eight o'clock comes
every day at eight O'clock" said Mr..
Piatypus.
''But the eight o'clock of yesterday
doesn't come back again. The time
that has past doesn't come back again.
That's what 1 mean," said Mrs. Platy-
pus. "Of course, I don't care if you
waste the time, but some folks make a
great fuss about time and whether it is
wasted or not"
"Well, don't let US bother" said Mr..
Platypus.
"Oh, all right" said Mrs Platypus.

A Geography Quiz.

I was holding an oral examination
in my intermediate geography class
one day, and asked, "What is the diff
ference between the people Of a state
and those of territory?"
Only one hand was raised and Don
aid said, ''The people of a territory
cannot sing"
This answer was puzzling to all; so
1 asked him to explain. Whereupon
he said:
"The geography says that the people
of territory have no voice; so how
could they slng?"

China Spurns Negotiations With

Peking, June 23.-The Chinese
government, in note to Japan has
retained its strong position against
direct negotiations over the Shantung
controversy. The note was in reply
to one from Japan in which direct
negotiations were urged.
China must have voice in all
treaties and alliances affecting her
sovereignty, the note declares. China
did not sign the peace treaty, the
note states, and consequently refuses
to observe its stipulations. 1t is
further stated that China cannot en-
ter into negotiations concerning a
contract to which she is not party.
The note concludes with a state
ment that Japanese troops should
have been withdrawn from Chinese
soil long ago, hostilities with Ger
many having ended. Japan recently
offered to conclude negotiations on
the basis of the treaty Of Versailles
