Revenge Is Sweet

Mcintosh made a fine art Of mean
ness. When travelling he would keep
redcaps busily attending to his bag
gage and then purposely forget the
tip until the starting of the train made
1t almost impossible.
One morning, however, he executed
this maneuver once too often on the
same man.
Dear, dear! am so sorry" he
said, as the train gave lurch for
ward. 81 quite forgot to get change"
And am very sorry, too, sir" was
the mans dry retort. 81 quite forgot
about that grip Of yours-it's lying
on the platform"

African Dean Is Gloomy

johannesburg, South Africa, has
what the residents call gloomy
dean" in the person of Rev. M.
Ponsonby. He thinks that no honest
man can look on South Africa with
hopefulness unless there is radical
change. The white man has inter
fered with the black race, he says,
driving them from agricultural and
fighting to Industrial occupations, and
by spreading half castles over the en-
tire country through marrying the
black women.

Kings Watched Stars

In ancient times November was
known as the Plead month. Kings
of Persia never failed to grant any re-
quest presented on November II, the
day when the Pleiades came to the
meridian at midnight, says Nature
Magazine of Washington. This ex-
quisite little group with FIVE stars
forming tiny dipper, and two addi-
tional stars visible TO keen eyes will
be one of the most noted groups in
the heavens. The V-shaped cluster of
the Hyades is scarcely less famous.
A man who controls public opinion
is one who very nearly reflects 1t.
