LOST IN LOVE. <All Weathers Were Alike to These Two Dreamers. A Man and a Maid who walked along the garden paths were observed by the Moon, the Roses and the Night ‘Wind. “Here come two lovers,” chuckled the Moon. “I will shine my silver best for their sakes.” “Here come two lovers,” murmured the Roses. “Let us send forth our sweetest perfume to greet them.” “Here come two lovers,” sighed the Night Wind. “I will whisper to them the magic that lies in a summer = BOSS Cartoon by - ROBERT CARTER In New York Sun. " But the Moon suddenly blotted the smile from his face. “We will not trouble ourselves,” he declared. “These lovers are the same two who walked the garden paths but yesternight. And. for all we did our best to please them, what did they in return? They spoke no word of my beauty — either of them.” “And they never noticed us,” com- plained the Roses. B “I remember them well,” sniffed the Night Wind. “They only said, ‘It is a beautiful evening” and gave us no credit at all. Let us do all we can to punish them.” So the Moon hid behind the darkest withheld their perfume. And the Night Wind turned chill and rustled the dry leaves dismally, and even succeeded in finding a few stray raindrops and fling- ing them in a dank, grayish mist across the garden paths. . - * * - - B “It's a beautiful evening!" said the two lovers.—Ella Randall Pearce in Life. MEXICO HAS HER BASTILLE. The Building Where the First Blow For Liberty Was Struck. The Alhondiga de Granaditas (pris- historic bulldings in the Mexican re- ‘public.and. will-always be.remembered C storehouse of grain, not as a prison, ‘which it ‘now 1s, but as'the place where the first blow was struck: for ' the liberation. of Mexico from ' Spanish rule. Quadrangular in shape, with .a central patio, a row of small Moorish windows. near the top, -the. lower floor Tuscan, the upper: Doric, the building - has no architectural beauty. x At each corner is a large hook, from which in ‘the days of the struggle for independence were hung -four iron cages containing the heads of the great liberators—the patriot priest, Hidalgo; his military chief, Allende, and his comrades, Aldama and Jimenez. Here they hung for years until removed by a worshipieg nation to the altar of kings in the cathedral of the City of Mexico. After the Grito de Dolores and the first ringing of the bell of independ- ence Hidalgo and his followers moved on to Guanajuato, stormed.the impro- vised fort of Alhondiga and killed all the Spanish troops that had taken refuge there. This was the beginning of the eleven years’ war of independ- ence.—Frank H, Probert in National Geographic Magazine. A Poet Who Dreaded Fire. Thomas Gray, author of the “Elegy,” had a weakness in the form of a nerv- ous dread of fire. His chamber at St. Peter’s college, Cambridge, being on the second floor, he thought it, likely that in case of a fire his exit by the stairs might be cut off. He therefore caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms projecting from the outside of his win- dow, designing by ‘a rope attached thereto to descend in the event of a fire occurring. This excessive caution led to a practical joke by his fellows. One midnight a party of students thundered at his door with loud cries of “Fjre, fire!” The nervous poet flew to his window and slid down the rope to the ground, where he was hailed with shouts of laughter. Gray’s deli- cate nature was so shocked by this rough joke that he changed his lodg- ings. Making It Even. Sandy, the plumber, was working on a town job with an apprentice. In the course of the forenoon the boss visited the job and, failing to find Sandy anywhere about the premises, decided to wait his return. “Where have you been?” demanded the boss when Sandy put in an appear- ance. “Gettin® ma hair cut,” Sandy, quite coolly. “And how dare you get your hair cut in my time?” “Weel, disna it grow in your time?” —London Mail. answered Odious Comparison.

Trotting Bullocks. South India has some of the famous little trotting hullocké, “gainis,” a breed unsurpassed for swiftness, but quite small. Some of these animals, even when full grown, are no bigger than a large dog. They are much used in light carts. Special $4_95 Carnarvon castle is the most splen- did specimen of medieval military architecture surviving in Britain, not excepting Alnwick. Art and beauty were combined with strength by De Elfreton, the architect, who had been commanded to -construct a palace within an impregnable fortress. Whether the mean little passage cham- ber in the Eagle tower was the birth- place of the infant prince whom Ed- ward I. made the medium of such a grim practical joke upon the Welsh seems doubtful, but the main story may still be true. Every famous sol- dier who helped to make history in this corner of Britain has played some part within or without the walls of Carnarvon castle. It has been starved into surrender, but never captured by force of arms and can therefore claim to be considered a “virgin fortress.”— Westminster Gazette.

The wise woman sent a sudden vigor- ous puff of breath at the jet of steam rising from the copper teakettle she wasg tilting, repeated it hastily as she filled the blue teapot and set the kettle back on the stove with a nod of tri- umph. *“That trick has saved me many a scalded hand,” she asserted. *“Wheth- er I read it or was told it 1 am not sure, but until I tried it I was always getting most painful little burns. Steam is so easily blown aside if you have the presence of mind to remember it that you can easily keep it from reaching your hand until you can set down the kettle or pot. 'Don’t forget it next time the lid slips or the steam comes unex- pectedly from the kettle spout.
