SPEAKING OF HORNETS.

Farmer Green had started for the gristmill. driving that ill-matched pair, rascally Mistah Mule and the staid old horse, Ebenezer. When they had swung into the road in front of the farmhouse. Mistah Mule played again that trick which had annoyed Ebenezer the day before. Laying his ears back, he sidled over toward Ebenezer and pressed his flank against the wagon-polc. He knew that the trick bothered Eben- ezer. Had not Ebenezer ordered him, yesterday, to move over?" He knew that it annoyed Farmer Green too. For Farmer Green had spoken to him and tried to guide him aside by pulling on rein.
 Just for q moment Mistah Mule leaned heavily against the wagon pole And then he sprang away as if he had touched a red-hot coal. He plunged wildly, switched his tail, and threatened to kick.
 Farmer Green frightened the reins, calling to him in calm, firm voice, steady, boy! Whoa. Whoa"

WHOLESALE GIVING SEEN
 AS CRAVE DANGER
Accumulation of Great Sums In Trust Also Hazardous. Carnegie Offi-

| New York, Feb. 5.--There is dan
 ger in wholesale giving. and the ac- cumuation Of great sums in trust for
 general or specific purposes presents grave dangers, Dr. Henry s. Pritch- cit, acting president of the Carnegie corporation of New York declared in report detailing the organizations activities for the last II years. Dur ! ing this period the corporation has given away about s5S,000,000 the re- port stated.
 Time alone can determine the value of such huge trusts the report pointed cut, adding somebody must sweat blood with gift money if it's effect is not to do more harm than good. All giving, like all accomplishment in- tended or human betterment, cuts more than one way. Often times the by-products of giving. even giving to a good cause. result in social toxins which do enough harm to more than counteract the benefit that may come from the original gift"
 College giving on the part of the great foundations has acted as stim- ulus in the upbuilding of colleges but has been responsible at the same time for by-products that were not antici- pated and that can scarcely be re- garded as benefits, the report said.
 One of these by-products, it was stated, has been an lover er-emphasis on going to college" and another the transforming of the American col lcge president into soliciting agent"
 Scholarly men today hesitate to take the place of president" the re- port said. "and they may well do so, because the typical board of trustees is not seeking scholarly president; it is seeking a president who can get

 "Yes, he does, Alice" Kate an swered, "Sing Loy loves you so much that it is evident in every move he makes. And you must be a pretty nice sort of girl since you feel as you do toward him.

Kate watched as Alice glanced a the trunk and then saw the girl turr away with an untrouble face.
 You've fixed a lovely place for mt l to live in for two days said Alice She walked across the room, took botf of Kate's hands and looked earnestly | into her face.
 She was lovely in her sincere mood Kate could understand her attraction for men.
 No one's been so nice to me since my own mother died" Alice con- tinued, unless it is Sing Loy, and of course he doesn't count"
 Again Kate felt a sort of pity for the gentle little oriental. He had stood so helplessly by while Alice cried that day in the laundry. He was so obviously, so woefully fond of the girl.
 Don't you ever feel sorry for Sing Loy?" Kate asked.
 "Yes," Alice was grave, ''and it's funny. too, because he doesn't need my sympathy. Hes got plenty of money for himself. He's lent some to me often--I've never paid if back. " There was trace of regret in the tone. ''l guess hc knows when he gives it to me that hell never see it again. He never asks me for it."
 You have to use it for yourself and Dorothy to live on?'' Kate suggested
 For ourseIves?" wonderingly. "Oh, no! But"
 Alice was confused She couldn't find the words to go on.
 Kate was puzzled. She felt she had no right to press the girl for explan- ations Of her personal life. She was thoughtful, however during dinner and more than once. when Alice wasn't looking, she studied the girls face. She wondered what need Alice had for money if not for herself and

Often it is moot question as to who should write the first letter in the event of sepa9ation between friends.

In certain Indian tribes, the suitor for girls hand sends a friend to her parents with a string of beads. If the match is suitable and the gift large enough, the beads are kept and the pair engaged. Otherwise. the string is returned or more beads are demanded. The custom is not so general as it once was, but has not entirely disappeared, even among h. dians who are nearly, if not quite, as highly civilized as their white neigh bors.
