Worth Recording.

A Washington woman had scrimped
fer long time to take trip to rama
ma. A man very much younger than
herself, in the deck chair beside her,
was making the voyage for the good
sof a frszzled nervous system. He was
q whimsical youngster, who could joke
at his own ups and downs. and she
was used TO boys, so they talked OF
this and that until at last the subject
came around to the thing that makes
the traditional mare 20: --Fhe woman,
still idazed at the Aladdin-like power
that could transmute small economies
into q fairy world of blue ocean bill
lowing into blue sky, took her turn
at the conversation by voicing civiiiza-
tons oldest platitude:
Money talks. doesn't it?'
at sure does; though my money
only knows two words-'Good bye"
And the woman has brought it home
as one of her good little stories.

5FLAP?ER HAD KINDLY HEART
Just Goes to Prove That One Is Not
Always Safe in Judging by
Appearances.

She got on the interurban car few
stops the other side of Greencastle
last week-a typical little fapper with
bobbed hair, an abundance of paint
on her cheeks, short skirt and imita-
ton of blouse, and she fiirted with
every available man in sight. Across
the aisle was an old-fashioned girl,
the sort you see in pictures.
Every one of the latter's glances
toward the little fapper were full Of
scern. But when they reached Green
castle little Japanese girl got on the
car. And then both Of. the girls
watched her.
A few miles out of town the Jap
anese girl became i'll. The old-fash-
ioned girl sat a!oof, but the little
"fapper" Immediately got interested,
moved over to her. paired her cheek
and then strsightened her on the seat,
taking the other girls head in her lap.
g II, a vote could have been taken for
the most popular girl on the train the
aflapper" would have taken first, last
and all honors.-Indianapol News.

BIRD DOESN'T HAVE TO FLY

Now that spring is here, it may IN
terest bird lovers to know that at
least one bird has solved the problem
of transportation without the use OF
wings.
Birds are famous for their misra-
tons, but hitherto they always have
used wing power. Now comes along
ore local bird who gets himself from
place to place with scarcely the Hap
of wing.
This bird came riding down Penn
sylvania avenue about eleven o'clock
one morning last week. He was
perched on the roof of street car
coming from Georgetown.
When the car stopped at Eleventh
street the bird alighted, and walked
eravely up and down the platform.
He was fine, big fellow. with a black
body and blue head, but did not look
like a biackbird.
After surveying the post office de-
partment for bit. the bird flew over
to q car about to leave for Mount Ver-
non. aud established himself on the
roof
When the car pulled out. the bird
was with it.-Washington Star.

The Church Fair.

The suburban woman and her sew
,enteen-year-old son. George went to
the church fair. The fair, like most
church fairs. was costing the woman
a great deal of money. 1t was a
chance on this and a chance on that.
A few articles she bought outright.
Since size was we'll known and her
husbands salary was also matter Of
town gossip, all her friends who had
charge of booths insisted upon her
buying and buying.

Cuts the Wori0's Whiskers.

The American safety razor is given
the credit of having conquered the
Spanish beard. On account of the
heaviness of their boards, the Spanish
men generally shave much less than
those of other countries and the re-
suit was they presented a rather un-
shorn appearance. The visit to the
barber was serious matter and the
Spaniard selected his barber as other
men would select a dentist, the one
that was least painful. But the
American safety razor is said to have
overcome this and the men are not
only enabled to shave, themselves, but
TO shave more frequently.
