WORDS MADE NO Difference
Hearers Might Have Found II Hard
to Understand, but Old Friends
Were Satisfied.

Two lieflong residents of an Indiana
city meet daily at the noon hour, one
going to lunch, and the other return
ing to work. Their habits have be-
come so regular that they usually meet
at the same place on consecutive days.
AS neither hears well, their brief
forms of greeting have become stereo-
typed, but the other day something
slipped and this is what was over
heard:
"Mornin', Mr.. Jones-nce weather
we're having" said the one, oblivious
of the fact that it was pouring rain.
NO. Mrs. Smith amt dom so well
lately. Reckon the weather amt the
best in the world nowadays" was the
reply.
"Goin' to attend the revival meet
ings this week, Mr.. Jones?" said the
first.
Eyes, you come and see us one of
these days." was the parting answer.

Wedding pax in Rorneo.

On the wedding day, in Borneo, the
bride sand bridegroom are brought
from opposite ends of the village to
the spot where the ceremony is to be
performed. They are made to sit on
two bars of iron, that blessings as
lasting and health as vigorous may
attend the pair. A cigar and betel-
leaf, prepared with areca-nut. are next
put into. the hands of the bride and
bridegroom.
One of tile priests then waves two
fowls over the heads of the couple.
and in long address to the Supreme
Being calls down blessings upon the
pair, and implores that peace and hap
piness may attend them. After the
heads of the affianced have been
knocked against each other three or
four times. the bridegroom puts the
prepared betel-leaf and cigar into the
mouth of the bride, while she, does the
same to him. whom she thus acknowl-
edges as her husband.

OF the women, for Johnny had always
rated Mary just a. little below the an
gels, he decided over a desperate
lemon soda that at least he'd give the
girl a chance to explain. But Johnny
couldn't imagine standing the suspense
of not knowing for another day, so he
hung around the saloon till closing
time. Then he hid in the dark door
way of the fiat building where Mary
lived.
At half an hour after midnight a
taxi stopped in front of the house and
man helped Mary out. Johnny heard
the parting words:
Then I'll be at the Woodyille sta
ton to meet you at 6 80 day after to-
morrow" the man said.
Sure" said Mary, land / never can
thank you enough for the grand time
had tonight"
Not very encouraging words these
for a man who wants to believe the
best of his sweetheart!
Running up the steps, Mary stopped
suddenly as she spied man hiding in
the shadows. Mary" said Johnny
in hoarse voice, putting hand on
her shoulder. Mary" but he could
60 no further. For Mary's face shone
with relief and happiness at the sight
of him. And Mary's voice was bub-
bling with eagerness to explain.

to the Winter Garden! All my life
I've wanted to go to one of them swell
shows, and when Mr.. Lewis says !:
What can | do to persuade you to
come to the country? says: Take me
there And Johnny, all the time he
talked to me about the great big
house he is going to bamboozle his
grandmother into lending him the
money to build when she comes to visit
Them and his wife says she can't come
if he don't bring some one home from
the city to help her do the work, and
he saw me in the window and likes
the way work; and he says there's
a little house we can live in, and we'll
go day after to-morrow-Jonnn
Mary paused for breath.

tie house, Mary, until" Johnny's
voice was trembling with the hope of
supreme happiness.

Well, I'll tell you. that you can be

you met, whom you thought were so

Maybe they'd eaten their neighbours
cherries which hung over in their back

maybe some of them pretended they
sent their clothes to the laundry, and
actually washed them themselves in a
