Bud had gone to pay visit to the woman next door but came back rather soon and eagerly explained. ''She expects a lot of company and has the table heaped with cookies and candy and all sorts of goodies p
 q hope you remembered the good manners I've taught you and did not ask for anything" said mother.
 "You just bet I didn't ask for anything"
 Highly gratifed, mother reward ed Bud with a fine apple.
 He ate it with keen appreciation, but before taking the last bite re- marked: "No, indeed, I didn't ask for a single thing. I just walked to the table and helped my own self"

SUPREME CONTEMPT

"But," protested the candidates campaign manager, "you don't make your speeches strong enough. Tell the voters this country will go to the demnftion bow-wows if you are not elected"
 "That's all nonsense. I don't be- lieve it."
 "Then you'd better withdraw from the race. A candidate was no more self-confdence than you have ought to get a job in a public library, passing out best sellers to fappers. - Birmingham Age-Her- aid.

TOO TASTY IN HIS VERDICT
Probably Proofreader Left Town in a Hurry After Publication, of
 Item He Corrected.

Margaret E. Sanger, the birth control leader, said at a luncheon in Boston:
 "These people who try to give us trouble give trouble to themselves. It's like the tale of the of1cious prOofreader.
 "A proofreader muttered impa- tiently over his work:
 "'Some people make me tired. Here's 8 reading notice that begins in the third person and ends in the first. Express their gratitude- our little son" A thing that be- gins in the third person must stick to the third person right up to the end.'
 '"The proofreader accordingly cor rected the reading notice, and it ap- peared in a prominent place in the next days paper as follows:
 'Mr. and Mrs. William Osborn Logan desire to thank publicly Doc tor Cutler and Miss Mae Winter, the talented young nurse, for the devoted kindness they showed to their little son during his recent illness ."-Detroit Free Press.
