We See the Point.

There seems to be a great opening for humoristS in the states. George S. Chappell, who wrote that spool South Sea Island epic, 'The Cruise of the Kawa," seems on the strength of it to have sprung into prominence at once. He is now, of course, featuring on what he forgot to put into the book, and appears before his audiences wearing a polo helmet which he states is ''the original helmet worn by Marco Polo during the first chukka !'' A repu- tation as wag seems more easily gained over there than on this side of the pond !-Passing Show, London.

An old adventurer who passed away in Australia at the age of ninety-four, was the only man I've known, says a correspondent, to put bagpipes to a useful purpose. After being captured when the Eureka stockade fell, he Joined the Victoria police, and was largely responsible for the capture of the bushranger ''Jewboy." He was then appointed SecOnd-in-command of an expedition that set out to find traces of Leichardt (another bushranger). and he used to tell that one day the party was surprised by POO natives. with hostile intent, whereupon one Me Intosh yelled: '"The pipes, Charlie, the pipes-while we retreat" The old ad- venturer played the pipes-and the natives were so mystified that they stood open-mouthed while the party marched off.

 She wasn't asked to take automobile rides very often. And this one was to have been a real ride, too. She was to have gone for a long, long distance.
 But the rain was coming down. And little Nelly got dressed for breakfast feeling quite sad.
 And it was unkind too that it should pour on a Saturday.
 For this day of Melly's ride was a Saturday.
 The Saturday before it had rained, too. but on the Saturday before, Nelly had not been invited to go riding. Per haps others had and they had had to stand the disappointment.
 Nelly tried to talk very sensibly to herself.
 So she ate her breakfast and did not know of the things that were hap pening up in the sky.
 ''I sayI MT. Sum-" shouted the King of the Clouds, 'I have just thought of an engagement I have for today. Isn't it dreadful to think of a thing at the last minute?
 "I wonder if you could take my place in the sky? I meant to pour all day and my children, the Army of Raindrops and my grandchildren, the Mist youngsters and their good old Nurse Fog were all out for an airing for the day too, they thought.
 "But can't help it, as we must keep this engagement We were invited weeks and weeks ago to call this very day on Great Grannie Rain, and she will be so hurt if we don't show up.

 ''So, MT. Sun, if you haven't any previous engagement, will you shine upon the earth people and will you also ask Blue Sky if he can look down upon the earth today, and dress in his best suit of blue?
 'T should have remembered this sooner, I know. I can't think how it escaped my memory, but somehow it did I suppose we got so excited pouring down as hard as we have been doing.
 We certainly did get excited. Last night the children played against all the window panes and they made such a noise that people got up again and again to make sure that the windows were closed.
 "They thought the children were getting into the roomsl And that amused the children so that they rained harder than ever.
 ''Yes, we did get excited, but now I've al least remembered in time and Great Grannie Rain will be waiting for us. So will you oblige, MT. Sun?''
 'Indeed I will,' said MT Sun. "I have no engagement today and I'll be glad to shine down upon the earth people. I'll call MT. Blue Sky.'
 So MT. Sun called Mr. Blue Sky, and MT. Blue Sky said:
 Hello, do you want me? I'm dress ing. but I'll soon be ready if you want me-"
 And MT. Sun called back
 we want you; all day, too"
 .A1l right" said MT. Blue Sky. I'll be there in a jiffy.''

believing that she saw in the distance the approach of MT. Sun, and she saw some blue sky, too
 She remembered an old, old lady who had always said to her. If you see enough blue sky to make your dad dy a new pair of trousers, it will clear off" And there was more than enough blue sky for that-and soon there was mOrei
 And Nelly went a-riding, and when Mr. Sun saw her delight he said to himself how very fortunate it had been that the King of the Clouds had had that engagement.
