Nearly everybody knows Joe Stokes, the druggist. And nearly everybody knows that Joe is a bach- elor slightly beyond thirty-five. Joe made the acquaintance of a comely young woman several evenings ago and invited her to the theater. She thought it unusual that as nice a man as Joe was a bachelor. | “My friend tells me you are a bachelor, but I don’t believe it,” the young woman said. “Oh, yes, I’m a bachelor, sorry to | say,” Joe replied. Just then several of Joe’s friends arrived and took seats in a box close to where the bachelor and his friend were sitting. They smiled and spoke cordially to Joe. Then they began to whisper suspiciously, cast- | | ing sly glances at the pair. “Say, Mr. Stokes, you’re a mar- “The | | way those gentlemen are looking at you and me confirms my belief. | You’re married.” “No, I’m not—honestly, I’m not.” And just then one of Joe’s playful | friends in the box looked down and | | said: “Where’s Mrs. Stokes this eve- | ning, Joe?” And Bachelor Joe hasn’t squared j it yet. —Indianapolis News. REFORM UNDER SOVIET RULE Three Innovations Established That May Be Said to Be Worthy of Some Praise. Three of the innovations estab- | hished i in Russia by the soviet govern- ever may be thought of the rest of them. These are: (1) The reform form of Russian spelling by drop- | ping silent letters, and (3) the adop- tion of the metric system. The old weights and measures are ; being changed to the metric in the machine shops, railroads and drug stores. This can be easily done, since all industrial and commercial operations are under government management, The people will not find the change difficult, because the old unit of weight, the pood, is almost exactly 16 kilograms and the verst is only one-fifteenth more than a kilometer. A Russian peasant is never so exact as that in his estimate of distances. The action of soviet Russia leaves | only the United States and the Brit- ish empire outside the international metric syste: TWO GOOD ANECDOTES Anecdotes of the proper type are | Tare. In a recent letter to a college instructor in Portland Prof. Fred- jerick J. Turner of Harvard cuts loose with a couple that are above the ordinary. One concerns the Maine guide who was given a watch by a friend and admirer. At the end | of the season the guide wrote: “That was the best watch I ever | had. Gained enough time during the | seasva to pay all my expenses.” | Another is about a Mr. Gilkin, | who was indorsed for governor of | Colorado in an off year. In the let- | ter of recommendation Gilkin’s | friend said: | “Mr, Gilkin is by far the best man | for the position. He was the dis- | coverer of Pike’s peak.” | RUBBER HEELS POPULAR As an example of the almost uni- | vereel use of the rubber heel, con- | servative figures prepared by the Rubber Association of America show that 125,000,000 pairs of rubber heels were sold in this country dur- ing 1920. From Brockton, Mass., one of the great shoe centers, comes the information that 84 per cent of all shoes made there go out equipped | with rubber heels. In one day re- | cently one factory in Akron turned | out 203,138 pairs of rubber heels. CAVE-MAN STUFF ‘The other day a small boy came | into a branch library like a breeze. He threw two books on the desk, and said in a high, shrill voice: “My mother wants two western stories; she’s tired of love.” NOT SO VERY FAR OFF The youngster who defined “co- quette” as “something made out of chicken,” wasn’t far wrong if we put the quotation marks around the “chicken.”—Boston Transcript. WHY ———= Quail Refrain From Mating at Certain Seasons Have gou ever noticed, writes a con- tributer from Arizona, that in very dry years the quail do not mate? We live in a cattle country where quail are abundant. Last year there was an unusually dry spring and early summer; all the vegetation was parched, and there was no under- growth. Usually several coveys of quail nest in a wild oak grove, but last year there was not a single brood there. And the cowboys say that where they usually would see thou- sands of young quail during the early surmmer round-ups they saw only five or six broods. Usually the quail are all in pairs by the Ist of April and do not travel again in coveys until the young birds are almost full-grown. They make rough nests in the underbrush or in the cactus or the bear grass, where | they are better protected against the | Soukes and the skunks, which make away with a great many eggs and baby quail, By the first of June or earlier you can see the little families of from twelve to fifteen, searching every- where for food. The proud father marches ahead and calls lusty advice | or warning to his brood, and when they find a good feeding place he chooses a high rock or a branch and acts as lookout while the mother shows the babies the best places to scratch for worms or seeds. Last sum- mer, however, they traveled only in coveys. The cattlemen say it happens at rare intervals when the wild feed is scarce.—Youth's Companion. WAS NOT THEIR LUCKY DAY Why Two New York State Boys Sud- denly Saw There Was No Reason for Rejoicing. New York money makers have many schemes, but here is one which has probably not been heard of before: Two country boys from up state vis- iting an uncle in Brooklyn crossed the river to Manhattan to “see New York proper.” At Union square they espied a “peep show” where one can see all sorts of things by dropping a penny in a slot, While one brother was gazing in one of the slot machines the other glanced down and observed a $20 bill laying near his feet. As he stooped hastily to pick It up another man also grabbed at the greenback, but the country boy was first and got hold of the plece of paper. The stranger immediately cluimed that he should receive half of the $20. A compromise was reached whereby the boy who held the twenty, - was to give the stranger all the money | he had In his pocket and keep the bill, The amount of cash given to the stran- ger was $2, all that the uncle of the boys would permit them to carry on their person from Brooklyn, Returning home the nephews glee- fully told of their great good fortune, “Let me see the bill,” said the un- cle, and the boys handed out their treasure for his inspection. It was a counterfeit!—New York Sun, How Tipping Is Arranged. One of the hotels on the Riviera ts trying to solve the tipping problem by a profit-sharing system. By this system a guest of the hotel is sup- plied with vouchers by the hotel man- agement for part of the 17 per cent of his bill which Is devoted to pay- ment of the hotel's employees. These vouchers are to be distributed by the guest among the hotel's workers, a list of whom is supplied to the guest with his bill. The system, as one readily sees, is not only to get away from It, but by some method which will reward service. Some hotels have tried the plan of adding 10 per cent to the guest’s bill and from that amount distributing tips. But that re- sulted in the careless walter getting as much as the attentive waiter. The new plan overcomes that difficulty.— Buffalo Courier. Why Hope fs of Value. A man without hope is the poorest man alive because the lack of hope dulls vision. It is hope alone that makes us willing to live. Man sees nothing to urge him on to aspire to higher levels without hope as the foun- dation. And where there is no hope there is no endeavor. Great hopes make great men and the man who does not try Is pronounced a failure. Hope makes a man see the brighter side of life and makes him belleve that there is a pathway that leads to greater things, When this belief is assured man will strive to reach the desires of his expectations. And the man who honestly strives for that which he desires—there is hope for him.—Cecelia Anthony tn the Thrift Magazine. How to Get Rid of Pests. A bottle of poisoned molasses hung upside down on a fence post so as to trickle out in the hot afternoon sup is an effective trap for the moths that produce the pale western cut- worm, the most destructive grain crop pest of the western pratriea, E. H. Strickland of the department of agriculture, Ottawa, told the Entomo- logical society at a recent meeting to Toronto, How Russians Reward Artists. In Russia nowadays an artist ts not particularly pleased when flowers are cast on the stage for her. It is not the fashion now to give bouquets to fuvored actresses. Russian audiences do better than that. Nowadays they give apples and rolls. Sometimes the packages are so thick it ts a Uttle
