All this time four little blue ones
had been whispering off to one side,
with their heads together. Not until
they faced her did she notice that
they had their names written on white
strips of paper, too.
.I'm Iron," said theH first one, "and
very important !"
I'm Phosphorus" said another,
standing beside little Iron.
Il make your teeth firm and strong"
sang gay Calcium, dancing into place.
And then Sulphur pulled his cap
down over one eye, and with his
hands in his pockets and his feet
spread very wide apart, squeaked in
his queer little voice, I'm here, too,
and my work is important for you"
Patty laughed until her sides ached
at the way they fell over each other
when they tried to form a pin-wheel.
One little odd red Brownie bowed
before Patty as the others had done.
II am Protein, perfect building
block for you, Patty!" And then he
pulled his little red cap down tight on
his head and turned cartwheels until
he was quite out of breath.
All the while Mr.. Milk Bottle smiled
and nodded and looked very much
pleased. By this time, too, Patty was
feeling very much ashamed Of the
way she had spoken to him when he
first came up to her. "Oh, Mr.. Milk
Bottle" she apologized with hef pref
test smile, and her very deepest
curtsy, Il do like you, and do like

Sermon Much Easier to
Write Than to Cover

Before ex-Congressman John Fin
erty became famous as the great
American Observation-Disclosures, he
was one of the best reporters in Chi
cago. He was on the Tribune, and
one day certain city editor (best
known to fame as the man who al
ways wore straw hat and smoked
a corncob pipe) decided that Mr..
Finerty should be disciplined"
1t was Saturday and some time
after midnight. Mr.. Finerty was as
signed to report the morning sermon
of an obscure minister way down on
the South side. Finerty was the
senior, and his associates were thun-
derstruck. They expected an explo-
sion at least, but Finerty remained
calm and dignified, although trifie
pale. "Then he will resign" they
thought; but Finerty walked out and
made no sign.
To the surprise of every one, he
reported the next day as usual, and
turned in an abstract of the sermon.
Every one read it on Monday morn
ing, and it was certainly an eloquent
and carefully reported sermon. That
afternoon man of clerical cut
called on the city editor and asked
to see the young man who had re-
ported his sermon the morning be-
fore. Mr.. Finerty was introduced.
The man of the clerical cut would
like to see Mr.. Finerty alone for a
few moments. Out in the hallway
he asked, "Of course, you were not
at my church yesterday morning.
No. replied Finerty. "Well, sim
ply stopped to thank you for the
sermon. 1t was far more eloquent
than the one l preached"
Finerty had composed the sermon
in q neighboring cellar beer saloon
on Saturday night.-J. L. Sprogle,
in Lippincott's.

Used to special consideration, she did
not see why she had to take out such
a document, she being a nice person
whom any country should be glad to
entertain, and, if she did have to take
it out, she didn't see why there was
so much red tape to be unraveled.
Finally she got the passport and
showed it to her husband. He, being
a man, was considerably startled when
he looked it over.
"This picture is you, all right" he
said, 'but they must have made mis-

"AS SIMPLE AS COLUMBUS EGG"
Here is a phrase. as old as the dis
covery of America, and one which
would probably never have come into
the language but for this epochal in
cident.
The expression had its inspiration
in the court of the queen of Spain
who had invited scientists and others
to stand an egg on one of its ends
a balancing feat hitherto, presumably
unaccompliShed.
None could do the trick till Column
bus, with an air of nonchalance tapped
it on the table, held it for moment
and then gently released his hold,
when it balanced itself neatly and

Ever since, any problem which is
apparently puzzling but in reality
simple has been referred to as being
as simple as Columbus egg.

LIGHTS OF NEW YORK
By WALTER TRUMBULL

There is a New York woman of
wealth and position who never has had
a high regard for regulations OF the
order which appear to her bit stupid
and unnecessary. Up to recent times,
Of course, men have made laws and
women have made customs, and the
fact is that the average women, being
really much more independent OF
thought than any man, is governed
mainly by her own sense of the fitness
of things rather than by any legal
code. That may not be clear to you,
but know what / mean.
At any rate, for various reasons, this
woman had not been abroad in rather
long time, but decided to spend a
season in Europe. She discovered
that she had to obtain passport.

Patty just didn't like milk. One
bright sunny day she sat in the gar
den playing. A big fat bee droned by
and settled on nearby blossom.
Soon two more Joined him.
"What a funny buzzing sound they
make" thought Patty. wouldn't 1t
be funny to be a bee and fly from
flower to flower looking for honey?
Then l wouldn't have to drink milk,
or do anything at all but fly around
and buzz and buzz"
Just then she noticed some one
walking about under the trees. He
seemed to be wringing his hands and
looking for some one. He looked like
a great big Milk Bottle. "But he can't
be-" unused Patty, because Milk Bot
ties don't have legs and arms and
heads. And besides he's talking"
He was quite near now and Patty
saw the troubled look on his face and
could hear distinctly what he was
saying. II wonder where she is, and
l wonder why she doesn't like me

ing sight of Patty, he hurried toward
her.
"Patty dear" he called, wont you
come and play with me?"
He really was Milk Bottle, and be-
cause his arms were short he had a
hard time reaching for his cap. He
tipped it ever so little.
"I'm glad he didn't bow" thought
Patty, ''he'd spill if he did," Aloud
she said, Go away, please. I don't
like you"
"How do you know that you don't
like me? Let me introduce some of
my friends to you"
And sure enough there they were.
They looked like Brownies; some
wore brown, some blue, some white
and some red. =
"My friends" he began in very
important tone of voice, "this is Pat
ty. Tell her what you can do for
her."
Then taking hold of hands they
danced near and Patty noticed that
they were lettered A, B, c, and D.
They took off their caps, bowed low
before her and said, 1--WE are the Vita
