Every:Man to His Trade. A devoted couple, married a short time ago, took up thelr abode in a dainty cottage'in a suburban quarter. Everything inthe house was the lat- est and gave’ unmixed satisfaction. But one evening when thé husband returned he found, to his disgust, that a@ water pipe had burst. The rooms were floodéd and the carpets, which were the husband’s special pride, were in danger of being spoiled: “Well, well,” said he impatiently to his wife, “why on elirth ‘didn’t you hammer the pipe up!? Here, give me a hamnier dnd I'll do it ina twink- ng.” He got the haromet and pounded away at.a pipe down ‘in “the. cellar. When he had: finished tie paused to exumine the result of his labor. Then, to his complete chagrin; he heard the sweetly chiding voice of hig wife at the top of the stairs. “Howard!” ‘said she, “the gas has gone out, and the water Is still run- ning.” Then he sent for a plumber.—An- swers. t Unfortunate Apology.

The high- er the mountain the greater are the heights to which you have it in you: to rise. It is lucky to dream of a mountain, and if it is a wooded moun- tain the luck’ is still greater. © To dream that you ascend: a mountain indicates that you will rise to wealth and greatness and that your children, if you have children, will also be per- sons of position. If the mountain is rough and craggy and you have dif_i- culty in ascending it, and yet do so, it indicates that you will have many. difficulties, perhaps, in accomplishing your designs, but if you persevere on toward the summit success dwaits you in whatever you undertake, however difficult ‘your undertaking may be. Not only wealth but public office is indi- cated for one who in his dreams suc- cessfully pegotiates a rugged moun- tain. If the dreamer be a maid, it in- dicrites that she wall marry a man who will achieve nll these successes, and If a married woman the success will ap- pertain to: her husband, To dream simply ‘of. seeing craggy ‘mountains |' without ascending them = only an- nounces that there will be many dif- ficulties for you to, overcome in arriv- ing at the state of wealth or great- ness which {t is yours. to attain if you ;persevere. To dream that in ascending a mountain you come across. chasms or precipices which compel you te turn back, you may ex- ‘pect troubles and reverses; but by firmness and determination the future will be made bright to you again. Many dream experts: are of the opin. fon also that seeing a mountain indi- cates a journey to a foreign country. (Copyright.) THE ROMANCE OF wonos | é “cooTiE.” es Protered the Engi tae guage since August 1. 114, than iii any similar time in his- “Yoche” and “camou- flage,” “Ksig Bertha,” “Archie” and “blighty” are only a few of, the tefms which, though ex- - isting prior to the outbreak of hostilities, were comparatively unknown on this side of the At- lantic. But few of the war- words caught the :popular fancy and at ¢he same time aroused public interest like! “cootie.” Some of the English troops, when asked as to the origin of the name, declared. that the parasites were so called because the soldiers, in derision, referred to them. as “cuties” To arrive at the real genesis of the term. however, one must go back a good deal further than the mem- ory of any living man. . In -at least three places in the British isles the word-has been used for many years with varying mean- ings. When, for “éxample, a Scotchman spoke of a “cootie” he referred either to a porridge- bowl or to a fowl with feathers on its iegs. In’ Shropshire the word means “snug” or “comfort- able,” while the natives of Gloucestershire used It to refer to something that wriggled or squirmed: It was very evidently the latter definition. . coupled with the fact that a large coo- tie might be said resemble a weird kind of biIFa, that gave rise to the nickname—though it is an interesting tact that kuti is the Sanskrit word for “body” and | khuti, in. Urudu, means “scab.” tory. (Copyright.) ——SSS MEMORIES, HAT is it most that the soul re- members “In the long years that come after- whiles?

Sine TW TIGHT CORNE Trapper Tells How it Feels to Be Trapped. 3 Bear Hunter Experienced Uncomfort- able Night in Snare He Had Pre- pared for Ferocioug Old Grizzly. © “Old Mose” was one of the most fe rocious bears in the Rockies. He was @ notorious “bad actor,” according to ‘Mr.‘A. L. Corson in the Wide World Magazine, and foiled all attempts to shoot or trap him. Indeed, he seemed to have a charmed life. On ne occasion a man named Han- ‘cock tried’ to trap him. In plaeing the bait inside the trap, Hancock’ ac- cidentally touched the trigger, and the> logs came down and imprigoned him. He tried to pry the heavy titibers apart, but found that he could not shift them an inch. From one side of the trap to the other‘he went, uncop- sciously imitating the movements Bruin would have made in hunting for a weak point. “aul his efforts were fruitless, The pangs af aneer were now com- ing on,.and night was near. Huncock scraped up some chips and twigs, made a fire and roasted part/of the deer that he had brought to bait the trap with. Being lightly dressed, he suf-|. fered keenly from the cold night air. He lay down on the ground, but sud- denly he heard sniffing sounds out-. side and detected, by the dim light of, the moon, .a dark form gazing through the chink¢ between the logs. Hancock felt safe, although his gun was stand-| ing by a tree some distance from the trap; Mose—for it was no other— seemed to realize the fact. Knowing his savage nature, Han- cock withdrew to the other side of the trap as the big form rose up on. his hind legs. He could feel the bear's hot breath surging through between the logs upon his face; and, fearing that the brute would thrust his claws in, he kept moving ‘from ‘side to side. _ Daylight came at last, and Mose trotted off. Again Hancock built a fire and cooked the rest of the deer meat. He almost decided to set one end of the trap on fire and burn Ris way out. But ‘what if he ‘were ufi- able to control thé blaze?: If he could reach his rifle, he would be in a/posi- tion to shoot ‘his way out, ‘for he had ‘a belt full of cartridges. His horse, tired Of standing round, had long ago made for’home. The next morning, the neighbors, seeing Hancock's horse in the yard, surmised that the “outlaw of, the Rock- fes” had secured another victim. Sév- eeral cattlemen started out in search ‘of Hancock. In the middle of the afternoon they heard shooting, but’ at ‘first’ they could see. nothing. Hancock had tofn his ‘shirt ‘into strips, mating a rope about’ 20 feet long: -He ‘had then tied two stones to a string about a yard jong and fas. tenedl one end of the’ long line to: the “Then ‘he threw the stones out between the cracks of his’ prison toward the rifle. After two> ‘hours of practice he was able to drag the gun within reach, “He then tried des- petately to -ut his way out. by :shoot- ing holes through a log about a: foot in diameter. Before he got very far his comrades had located the shots and released him, , Had Feared the Worst.

With uncertain footsteps he climbed the sta with itchy, nervous fingers he unclothed himself, with swimming head he lay down in his .bed. Mrs. Spongedry had, however, heard his anti-catlike tread. ‘hinking to frighten him, she cov- ered her head with.a sheet and ap- proached his bed. Spongedry sat up'in bed and gazed fn ‘wonder at the spook. “Who is that?” he asked. “I am a ghost!” came the answer from the sheet. “Oh, that’s all right, then: But you did give me a fright!
