Mother Hen after her brood of nine had obtained a firm hold on life called [them together to counsel them on the duty they owed to one another, but |particularly on the duty the eight girls |owed to the one boy of her family. The igirls were to be mindful of Willle's |rights, to call him when a choice mor el was unearthed, to prevent him from quarreling and to bring him back .when he wandered from the barnyard. One day during a sisterly quarrel brother dfsappeared. His sisters had seen the minister enter the farmhouse ‘on a visit, but thought nothing of it |until they saw poor Willle meet his death by an ax. Consternation ensued, and a council |was held to devise a way to meet the Exother hen and to break the news to er. | “Cluck, cluck, cluckety, cluck, cluck,” jsald Mother Hen, breaking in on the council of the sisters. \ “Cluckety, cluckety, cluck,” answer- ed the sisters in one voice, which trans- lated means, “Where is your brother?” 'and they answered, “The minister vis- ited the house, and brother got it in the neck.” Mother Hen was downcast, but she Iquickly recovered her composure and sald: . “Cluckety, cluckety, cluck; cluck, .cluck, cluckety,” which 1s: “I am sorry 'for poor Willle. I rejoice, however, (that he has entered the ministry, for he would have made a poor layman.”— |New York Tribune. The Slow, Pottering Gordon Setter. Years ago the Gordon setter was \quite a favorite and much in use by sportsmen of this country. In later years, however, this really good dog Iwas displaced in greater part by the pointer and English setter. The Gor- don, says Ed F. Haberlein in Dogdom, 1s the largest and heaviest of all bird dogs, more clumsy and usually slow. 'Where most hunting is done In wood- land and thickets and a slow working dog 18 needed so as not to get “lost” almost continually he fills the bill well —works close to gun, has good nose, 18 steady on point and if properly trained a very good retrlever from land and water. The Gordon Is easily trained and retains his training well, is also of good pleasant disposition and an ad- mirable companion. At this age, how- ever, when so very much stress is lald on speed and wide range, the Gordon is not “in it” because he s a slow, pottering dog as a rule. | Boots With a Drawback. WA LEERY afsendr chitae afstutau the Kaffir boy who acted as his particu- lar servant with a palr of strong, heav- {ly nafled ammunition boots,” says Chums, “The boy was delighted with the gift and at once sat down and put the boots on. They were the first pair he ever had, and for several days afterward he strutted proudly about the camp in them. But a few days later he appear- ed as usual in bare feet, with the boots tied round his neck. “Hello!” said his master. “Why don’t you wear your boots? Are they too small for you?” “Oh, mo, sah,” replied the Kaffir, “they plenty big. Berry nice boots, sah, but no good for walking or running. Make um fellah too much slow, sah. Keep boots now for wear in bed.” Origin of a Well Preserved Joke. Nasica, having called at the house of the poet Ennius, and the maldservant having told him. on his inquiring at the door, that Ennius was not at home, saw that she had sald so by her master’s or- der and that he was really within, and when a few days afterward Ennius called at Nasica’s house and inquired for him at the gate Nasica cried out that he was not at home. “What!” says Ennius. “Do I not know your vyolce?” “You are an impudent fel- low,” rejoined Nasica. “When I In- quired for you, I believed your gervant ‘when she told me that you were not at home, and will not you believe me Wwhen I tell you that I am not at home?"—Ccero’s “De Oratore.” Classified. The geology class was sent out to eollect specimens, and thelr teacher was to explain upon their return what the different specimens were. One of the boys for a joke brought in a plece of brick. When the teacher came to examine what they had to offer he took up one specimen after another. “This,” bald he, “Is quartz, this feldspar, this pandstone and this”—taking up the Elllecs of brick and looking gravely at e boy who brought it—‘“this is a plece of impudence.” 8uperstition and the Wedding Ring. ‘When a wedding ring has worn so thin as to break, the superstitious be- leve that elther the husband or the fe will soon die.

He Saw the Game. The office boy had buried countless grandmothers, brothers, sisters, aunts and couslus, but he felt an enthuslasm for the baseball game that day which would not be dowued. Suddenly an idea struck him, Ap- proaching the easy boss with an air of famillarity which had been nurtur- ed by long usage he asked: “May I leave at noon today, sir?” “And why, my boy ?”’ “There is a fancy falr at our church and mother wants me to go this after- noon. She was so anxious that she bought me a ticket which cost a dol- lar, as she was sure you would allow me the few hours off. I have to assist at the refreshment stall, and it seems a pity to waste”— “But surely you are above such things as that which take you away from your work. Why not give the ticket to one of your sisters?” “Well, you see, sir, that wouldn’t be fair, for I'm the only one of our fam- fly who can be depended upon to eat a dollar’s worth, and"— His supreme nerve won the day.— Smith's Magazine. An English Amenity. A striking difference between our manners and those of our English cousins was shown one ‘day at a gar- den party. The hostess, an American, ‘was speaking to one of her guests, an Englishwoman of rank, “Dear Lady B.” she said, “here are some sandwiches which I made with my own hands, particularly for you. You know I've often told you about our American sandwiches and how good they are. Here are different sorts, lettuce and cucumbers, if you care for ‘grass,’ or if you like a savory better try the cream cheese ones with plmentoes. I've some sweet ones, too, raisins and nuts chopped together— which will you try first?” She held a plate in each hand, a plate filled with dainty looking sand- wiches, and they were extended invit- Ingly toward her guest, who looked at them critically, then said in the clear, high pitched voice of the well bred Englishwoman: “Oh, thank you, so kind of you, but do you know I never touch the nawsty things?”’—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Chance For a Home Run. A clever teacher who has the power of calling out originality in her pupils says that she would have no use for text books if she took time to answer all the startling questions asked in the classroom. One day the attraction of gravitation was under discussion when one of the boys said that he didn’t see any need of it, anyway. “It seems to me,” said he, “there’s no particular use in having the earth at- tract things. Now, when the apple fell and made Newton think out the reason for it, that apple might just as well have stayed where it was until somebody gathered it.” “You play ball, don’t you?” asked the teacher. “Well, suppose you knock the ball very high, what happens?’ “It falls.” “But if there were no attraction to- ward the earth it wouldn’t fall. Don’t yau think that might prove inconven- “My,” cried the boy, *“what a vy chance for a home run!”—Chicago News. Her Supposition. In the Beecher family the name of Mrs. Stowe was often quoted to the rising generation as onme having au- thority. She was alvo quoted ad nau- seam, it would seem, from a story told by the Woman’s Journal. On one oc- casion a grandniece of Mrs. Stowe be- came very angry at a playmate and, stamping her foot, said, “I hate you, and I don’t want anything more to do with you, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, mor. your ox, nor your ass.” Her mother sternly re- proved her, asking he if she knew what she was saying. Little Miss Beecher promptly replied, “Yes; the Ten Commandments.” “Well, do you know who wrote them ?” The child, looking disgusted, answer- ed: “Goodness, yes. ' Aunt Harriet did, 1 s’pose.” The Word “Poultry.” Poultry, according to the definition glven in one standard encyclopedia, in- cludes “the whole of the domesticated birds reclaimed by man for the sake of their flesh and their eggs.” The word comes from the Latin “pullus,” which could mean a young horse or donkey as well as a chick (the English “foal” is akin to this), through the French “poule,” a fowl. But it is curious that “poultry” has no French version, the nearest equivalent being “volaille,” or “oiseaux de basse cour,” birds of the low yard. German In its descriptive way knows poultry as “federvich,” feather cattle. An Unmentioned Ancestor, Mr. B. is very proud of his- Admt lineage and never lets slip an oppor- tunity to boast of it. At a dinner ‘where he had been unusually rampant on this subject a fellow guest quieted bim by remarking, “If you climb much further up your family tree you will come face to face with the monkey.”— Lippincott’s.

All men are equal—till they are found out.—Jamesport Gazette., Legend of 8t. Winifred Well. A romantic legend hangs around St. | Winifred well. Cradocus, a nelghbor- | | fng prince, smitten with the beauty ot | & Holywell damsel and roused to anger | by her coyness, struck off her head as she fled from his unwelcome attentlons, The head, rolling down the hill, rested[\ near the church, and from the spot tha| present coplous spring gushed forth as the earth opened to swallow up the assassin, St. Beuno, who was passing, picked up the head and, with a skill which is now lost to the medical pro- fession, restored the malden, with only & slender white line on her neck as e dence of the miracle. But not only di{ the well spring from the spot whery the head rested, but the moss on it brink was supposed to be possessed o] a particularly fragrant smell, while th) blood marks on the stones assume( many beautiful tints on June 22, th| anniversary of the event.

In Spain the railroads do not lose a chance to make a little profit even in | the case of the nontravelers. When you see somebody off in that country you must pay for the privilege. The railroads all sell billetes de anden, which are good for the platform only. These cost generally § centimos, equiv- alent to a cent in American money. Just why this is done it is hard to see, | because persons entering a train can- not very well avoid the conductor, who s always making trips to inspect the | carriages. If a person attempted to steal a ride in a carriage, he would have small chance of getting away with it. If caught, he would have to pay a penalty of just twice the fare between the point where he was dis- covered and the point where tickets last were inspected.—New York Sun. He Had No Choice.

Bemidji women know how the aches, and pains that come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headache, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Bright’s disease. * Doan’s Kidney Pills per- manently cure all these disorders. Here’s proof of it in a Bemidji woman’s words: Mrs. Edward Jewett, living at 1112 Park Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “Iam recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills and from actual ex- perience I know them to be a reli able remedy. I did not take them as carefully as I might have, but still, the results received were satis- factory. The attack always came on with a dull ache in my back and while they were at their height, Ifelt weak and miserable. I sent to the Owl Drug Store and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills.

When the ¢onductor asked for tickets the erazy man began telling of his hyp- ootle powers, “I'll bypnotize you,” he said, “Kire away,” replied the conductor. The man made several passes before “Now you are hypnotized,” he sald. The conductor looked the part as “You're a conductor,” the hypnotist sald. “That's right,” replied his victim. “You're a good conductor,” went on e hypnotist. “Right again,” said the conductor. “You don’t smoke, drink or swear at In all tickets and money you collect In fact, you do not steal a cent.” “What an awful fix you'd be in if I left you in this condition!”—Kansas City Star. Beer For Breakfast. Bixteenth century children in Eng- land ate very different food from that consumed by modern American young- sters. The following dletary is taken from the Northumberland Household Book, showing the nursery breakfasts at the beginning of the sixteenth cen- tury: “This is the Ordre of Braikfastis for the Nurcy for my Lady Margaret and Maister Ingeram Percy every day in the week in Lent: Item, a Manchet [a small loaf of white bread], a Quarte of Bere, a Dysch of Butter, a Pece of Saltfisch, a Dysch of Sproitts or {ij ‘White Herring, Braikfastis of Flesch dayly thorowte -the Yere; Item, a Manchet, a Quarte of Bere and iij Muton Bonys boiled. On Fyshedays throw-owte the Yere: Item, a Manchet, a Quarte Bere, a Dysch of Butter, a pece of Saltfische or a Dysch of But- ter'd Eggs.” Milk seems to have been an unknown beverage, but the beer of those days was very different from the modern article and much more harm- less. Couldn't Stick Him Again. A bishop, accosted in Fifth avenue, New York, by a neat but hungry stran- ger, took the needy one to a hotel and shared a gorgeous dinner with him, yet, having left his episcopal wallet in the pocket of a different episcopfal jack- et, suddenly faced the embarrassment of not possessing the wherewithal to pony up. “Never mind,” exclaimed his guest; “I have enjoyed dining with you, and I shall be charmed to shoulder the cost. Permit me.” Whereupon the stranger paid for two. This worried { the prelate, who insisted, “Just let me call a cab and we'll run up to my hotel, where I shall have the pleasure of re- imbursing you.” But the stranger met the suggestion with, “See here, old man, youw've stuck me for a bully good dinner, but hanged if I'm going to let you stick me for car fare!” PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Ttching, Blind.
