Every day he called her over the
telephone.
Every day she refused to see him.
But his experience with women had
taught him to understand their CO.
quetry, and he knew that her refusal
was not sincere.
One morning when he telephoned
she said that she would be glad to
see him, but she was engaged for the
day.
The next morning she was sorry to
have to miss him again, but she did
not have a minute free.
And the next day she wished that
he had telephoned sooner, for she had
just made an engagement. Would he
please call again?

LESSON ~.

Q What is the first provision?
gress?
The Constitution includes eight
teen paragraphs specifying
the powers of Congress.
@ Wrat is the first provision?
To lay and collect taxes, duties,
imposts and excuses: to pay
the debts and provide for the
common defense and general
welfare of the United States,
but all duties, imposts and
excuses shall be uniform
throughout the United States
Q What is the important feature OF
this provision?
A The levying and collection OF
taxes. Before the Constitu-
ton was adopted, there was
no general government with
power to levy and collect
taxes, and the lack of this
power nearly wrecked the new
nation.
@ What is the second provision?
A To borrow money on the credit
of the United States.
@ Has the power been frequently
exercised?
A Yes. The authority for the Lib
erty loan bond issues, which
made it possible for the
United States to be supplied
with funds for the successful
conduct of the war against
Germany, is found in the ten
words of this second pro-
vision under our Constf-
tuition, no money can be
raised except by law enact
ed by the representatives OF
the people.
@ What is the third provision?
A To regulate commerce with for
eign nations and among the
several states and with the
Indian tribes.
Q What has been accomplished un-
der this authority?
A The Interstate Commerce Law;
the Anti-Lottery Law; the
Pure Food and Drug Law;
and other laws which have
been of great value to the
people have been enacted I'M
der the provision which
authorizes Congress to regu-
late commerce between the
states.
q What other powers are granted
to Congress?
A The right to establish uniform
naturalization and bank
ruptcy laws; to coin money;
to provide for the punishment
for counterfeiting, to estab-
lsh post offices and post roads;
to grant copyrights and
patents to authors and in
ventors; to create courts; and
define and punish piracies and
felonies committed on high
seas and offenses against the
law of nations.

Welsh Belief in Witchcraft,

Witchcraft in Wales is still in exist

To Spell at Pleasure.

An Iowa professor urges that every
one should be allowed to spell as he
pleases, to save all the time spent in
learning the prevailing fashion. 1t
probably would not save much time for
the reader of such spelling. With the
typewriter to do the writing and the
adding machine to do the arithmetic,
and history discarded as useless, free
dom in spelling would go far to do
away with the need Of any schools at
all.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Grounding Does Not
See His Shadow

Wednesday was Grounding Day,
and if there is any ground for the
age-old tradition that if the little
woodchuck fails to see his shadow,
all may know that spring has "truly
come" then there will be no more
bad weather during the present sea-
son.
According to the tradition, if the
grounding "sees his shadow" he viii
scamper back into his hole and there
remain during six more weeks of
bad weather. If, however, the sun is
obscured by cloud, and the little
fellow has no shadow to see, then
the worst of the winter is past, and
soon all overshoes, furs and coats
may be discarded.
