Violin Brings Farmer Wealth. Finding himself suddenly possessed of a violin evidently of great value, Charles Riley, a Gettysburg farmer of moderate circumstances, is now happy over the turn of affairs which he believes has freed him for the rest Fosiery and underwear yout have,some of his life from financial worries.

When it comes to hardware, Battles is “all there.” C. E. Battles THE HOME OF CGOOD HARDWARE NO SPOOKS FOR MUGGINS Was Afraid of Nothing He Could Un: derstand, But Apparition Was Too Much for Him. Muggins goes to camp with his folks every summer on the shore of a large inland lake, and one of the bulldog’s favorite amusements here is in chas- ing the tiny chipmunks which throng the woods. He never was known to: capture one, but this does not in the least dampen his enthusiasm for the pursuit. It is amusing to watch Mug- gins hustle one of these tiny creatures up into a big tree and then sit pa- tiently at its foot waiting for his prey to come down—which it quite often does, but on the opposite side of the trunk, whence it scurries away to pas- tures new, while poor deluded Mug- gins, all unaware of its escape, sits gazing intensely upward in wide-eyed anticipation of his quarry’s reappear- ance. Muggins despises water, but one day in his eager rush for a chipmunk he was over the bank before he knew it and landed kerflop on his back with such force as to send him way below the surface. Disgust spoke from every feature of his expressive countenance as he hastily scrambled ashore. Once as Muggins’ master stood in the boathouse on the lake shore and saw his favorite trotting toward him, a mischievous thought came to him and he prepared to surprise the inno- cent bulldog. Hastily cutting two round holes for his eyes in a big paper flour bag, which lay at hand, he pulled it down over his head and shoulders and doubled over so as to look alto- geter unnatural. Just as Muggins en- tered the door he sprang forward with a dismal “boo!” and the dog, who fears nothing on the face of the earth which he can understand, jumped backward, rending the air with a series of distracted barks, then tore wildly away on a race for his life, without even a backward glance at the awful apparition. He did not stop at camp, but fled into a field far above, where he installed himself in the open and continued his excited barking for over three hours, when he was finally coaxed back to quarters by his re- pentant tormentor, Then They Hit Up the Sirup. “While on a western tour in connec- tion with certain investigations of the committee on Indian affairs, Senator Carroll E. Page of Vermont happened to get in conversation with a man at Ashland, Wis. “From Vermont?” chuckled the man. “Why, I was born at Swanton, v “So was I,” said the senator. “My father ran a store on Merch- ant’s row in Swanton.” “So did mine,” replied the Vermont senator. “My father dealt in hides and wool.” “So did mine,” echoed the senator. “My father was a member of the firm of Page, Sanborn & Co.” “So was mine,” cried Senator Page, with a twinkle in his eye. “Shake!” And they “shook” heartily. In this unexpected way the sons of the old Vermont partners had met after 40 years, and tradition has it that they went off quietly arm in arm for a feast of maple sirup, in memory of childhood days at Swanton in the old Green Mountain state—Joe Chap- ple’s News-Letter. The Burnt Child. A rural clergyman missed one of his parishioners several successive Sundays from his place in church and when he met the absertee one day he said: “Well, William, I haven’t seen you at church for some time.” “No, sir. I have reasons for stayin’ away.” “Oh, you have! And what may your reasons be? I should like to explain them away, if possible.” “Well, sir, I doubt youwll manage that. They are very decided objec- tions, The first is that I don’t be- lieve in bein’ where one does all the speakin’; the second is that I don’t be- lieve in so much singin' as we get in your church; the third, and last, and most important reason of all is that it was in your church that I got my wife!” _— Live Your Life. We sometimes wonder of what use Wwe are, and why we are put on earth. One day is added to another and we seem to be no further advanced on the pathway of our lives. As Mark Twain would have put it, we do not appear to be gaining on the scemery. Yet there is room in the worid, and need in the world, for each and every one of us, and, therefore, we must keep on going to the end. Emerson has a poem in which the squirrel talks to the mountain and says:: “If I cannot carry forests on my back neither can you crack a nut.” You can do some- thing nobody else can do, nametly, live your life. You have the chance, If you will only take it, and I have mine. If we can do nothing else we can at least be some one’s friend, and there is nothing that the world more keenly wants and sadly needs.—La- dies’ Home Journal. Very Fond of Smith. “You are fond of Smith, aren’t you?™ “Very.” “He hasn’t much character?™ “His manners are bearish.” “Yes” “He is dull” “Trne.” “Then what do you find so attract fve in Wm?” “He has never asked me for @ thing."—Newark News. * {Cholera and Diarryhoea Remedy can BREAD OF VIKINGS FOUNC Made From Pine Bark and Pea Meat, It Was Discovered in Goth- land. An interesting find was made ai Ljunga, Gothland, by Dr. Schnittger, professor at Stockholm university. This is some bread that dates from the time of Vikings. Microscopical examination has shown this bread to be made from pine bark and pea meat, thus proving the fact that peas were grown in Sweden as far back as a thousand Years ago. Archeological excavation has so far brought to light only a few specimens of bread dating from ancient or pre historic times, The few loaves exca vated in Egypt and in Swiss lake dwellings are of the highest arche ological interest. In the northern countries only one or two finds of this kind have sc far been made, foremost among which should be mentioned a corn meal loaf dating from the fourth century A. D. which was discovered by Dr. Schnitt: ger in 1898 in connection with the ex cavation of Boberg castle.—Scientific American.
