TIRED OF THE FOLD STUFF"
PolyandrIan Queen Welcomed Import ed Novel for the Reason That
 It Struck New Note.

The queen of the Polyandrian isles reclined lazily upon her throne of mas culine skulls. Her seven husbands had all gone a-hunting, and time lay heavily upon her hands. Bring me a bookP" she commanded, and seven virgins ran off to do her bidding.
 The queen thumbed the pages of the seven native novels.
 ''BahP' she ejaculated after time. ''The same old stuff. Eight men pur- suing one woman. I'm tired of this eternal pOlygon business. Fetch me one of those racy, risque, imported novels where one man and one wOm- an brave the world and his wives and dare to love each other despite our pOlyandrian cOnventionality. They're a little bit immoral, perhaps, but what a relief from the banality of our everyday existence" = Philadelphia Ledger.

He wirelessed to an emergency station on the French shore near Calais, and then success fully came down with twelve passen- gers. Everything was working to meet the emergency. When the plane touched the earth a corps of experts was ready. Within fifteen minutes a new propeller was put on and motor trouble corrected. Of went Pilot Comte Henri de Perignon with his passengers only twelve minutes be hind the schedule.

 One certain friend of certain den- tist in this city, having read a delicious dissertation on the pulling of teeth via the nOvOcaine method, happened upon the end of the story, in which the dentist said: That's all. Perhaps you'd better have lit- tie stimulant"

 Unfortunate ProVIso.

After the usual plan of bricklayers he worked from the inside, and, as he had the material close beside him, the walls were rising fast when noon ar rived, and with 1t his son, John, who brought his fathers dinner.
 With honest pride in his eye, Sandy looked at John over the wall on which he was engaged, and asked:
 "How de ye think am gettin' On?''
 "Fine, father; but how dae ye get cot? You've forgot the doOr?"
 One glance around him showed Sandy that his son was right; but, looking at him kindly, he said:

Human DEVELOPMENT.

Humanity, in its acquisition Of
knowledge, its hopes, its aspirations,
Its ideals, Is in a state of steady de-
velOpment. In art, it is the personal
expression of the artist his indivId-
uality-shown not only in mere tricks
of style, but In his state of mind, his
attitude toward the world about him
which counts most in the end. And
that Is why art in any form is not
a matter only Of mere copying of facts.
The line to be drawn is not always
easy to define, perhaps. But one may
best regard some extreme examples
The demand for subject and realism
found strong expression in the vogue
enjoyed by the chromOs years ago
