WHERE BUSKIN WAS WRONG
Idea He at First Thought Brilliant Proved to Be Something of
 Boomerang.

Dean Russell of the teachers col Iege of Columbia university said the other afternoon at tea:
 Governments are extravagant. When they try to economize they fare as badly as Buskin.
 "Buskin said to Sock:
 "Wife woke up Monday morning very i'll. No appetite. Dreadful pain. I started off after Doc Big fee, and then a thought struck me, and I trotted back home again.
 "Too bad, old girl,' I said. 'To- days the opening of the winter bar gain sales in all the big department stores, and here's you laid up in bed.'
 'Wife was up in jiffy.
 "How foolish of me to forget thatP she said, and in ten minutes she had finished her breakfast and was off.
 "Well, wellP said Sock. But wouldn't it have been cheaper, after all, to call in Doctor Bigfee.'
 "Kick me hard,' said Buskin. 'Of course it would.'"

BEAUTY IN FLORIDA WOODS GorgeousIy coIorsd Birds and Insects Constant Delight to the Man
 Who Loves Nature.

I catch a glimpse of a beautiful, leaf-green lizard on the gray trunk of an orange tree, but it is gone al- most before 1 can say I saw it. Pres ently a brown one with ight-col- ored stripes and a bluish tail is travelling over the crumbling wall, running into crannies and out again. Now it stops to look at me with its jewel of an eye. And there on the rustic armor is a third one, match ing the unpainted wood in hue. Its throat is white, but when it is in- Hated, it turns to the loveliest rose color. On two sides of me, beyond the orange trees, is a thicket of small oaks and cabbage palmettos- hammock, I suppose 1t is called. In all other directions are the pine woods, with their undergrowth of saw-palmetto. The cardinal sings from the hammock, and so does the Carolina wren. The chewinks, the blackbirds Ca grackle just now flies over, and a tish-hawk also) with the bluebirds and the pine-warblers, are in the pinery. From the same place comes the song of the Maryland yell low-throat.-Bradford Torrey.

Tell The Other Side

When you have occasion to
speak of this town. what is the
burden of your remarks?
Some complaint, or griev-
ance, perhaps.
The good things of our COM
munity life we take as a matter
of course. We feel that they
are coming TO US. We can see
no reason for comment. We
are mum.
But when anything goes
wrong our first inclination is
to blow up. Somebody is to
blame. Somebody needs a
good cussing.
And somebody gets cussed-
perhaps.
Having let off steam. we are
ready for the next round, and
become quite human again.
But let's take new tact tell
the other side next. II is far

whom we speak.

a large sum for the leaky old
