And I revel in the idea. ‘Whenever I stop to consider it, I think it is a petty thing to do. But then I do it all the same, since he never ob- jects!” Perhaps he was amused: per- haps he did not mind in the least; but, anyway, he never objected. - If he had, she no doubt would have refrained from this, her “pet meanness,” for she was not the sort of person to rub another the wrong way and disturb his peace of mind. A Strange Economy. 1 know of another woman who saved the matches once lighted and used them over again whenever they were long enough to be of use. Some one commented on this odd way of hers 1and laughed at her atingines: It set me to thinking. She wasn't a stingy person at_all, but this certainly was what the Yankees call “close.” It was indeed a petty economy, but was it a | meanness? Who was the worse off by her saving? If there was any bother, it fell on her alone. She asked no one else to do as she did. And then one day T discovered how it came about that she economized in this special way. A Difficulty. At one time in her life she had lived in a sectfon of country but very sparsely settled. Going to the shops meant & long trip and a firesome one. It was before the days of rapid transit by automobile. ©ne tinte she found herself without a match in the house. Imagine yourself in such a plight with no corner store to run to and get a fresh supply, or no telephone to use and request matches sent immediately! Her plight was a sorry one. It meant that before the accustomed shopping time her husband had to ride to the store and get matches. It was mos inconvenient. Thereafter she put aside half-burnt matches and used them a nd time. After all, she was not but resourceful and thought- The habit once formed was kept ;.\ls even when she moved to a city to e. Change of Policy.

BY THORNTON W: BURGESS “The safest place in the world,” sald a voice behind Johnny, and then there was a thump that made Johnny almost turn a back somersauit in order to get inside his hole. Never had he been more startled. It was some minutes hefore he even dared poke his nose outside that he might look around and see who had frightened him so. When at length he did look out, there was gray old Rabbit sitting up at the edge of a tangle of brambles a few feet away. Johnny stared most impolitely at the gray old Rabbit. “Where did you come from?” he demanded at length. “That isn't the question at all,” re- torted the gray old Rabbit.. “I belong here. The question is, Where did you come from?" “That’s my business,” growled John- ny Chuck. “Were you the one who said that this is the safest place in the world? Because, if you did, you don't know what you are talking about.” “How Igng have you been here?" in- quired the gray old Rabbit. “Not long, but long enough,” re- torted Johnny Chuck. The gray old Rabbit grinned. 've lived here all my life,” said he. “So you must admit that I ought to know. If it were not a safe place, I wouldn't have been alive long enough to grow old and gray. When a Rabbit can live to be old and gray he must be living in a safe place. If you don't }Ike’w“ up here, what did you come T didn't come,” replied Johnny. “I ‘was brought here.” Then, because he really wanted to talk to some one, he told the story of how he had been caught in the trap by Farmer Brown's Boy over in the Old Orchard and set free in the Old Pasture. The old gray Rabbit listened at- tentively. Finally he asked a question. “Do u_ know Peter Rabbit?” he inquired. Of course, Johnny replied that he did. “Do you know Mrs " was the next question. Again nodded and sald that he did. said the old gray Rabbit, “I'm Mrs, Peter's father.” “Oh!" exclaimed Johnny, “then von must be Old Jed Thumper. T've heard Peter and Mrs. Peter tell about you." ‘Yes.” replied the old gray Rabbit, “I'm _Jed Thumper.” Puzzle-Limericks.

Many and great and varied are the trials and tribulations of matrimony, but none are more grievous to be borne than being espoused to an oraclo who is always calling attention to your little faults and foibles and setting you right about them. Surely nothing would do more to discourage lovemaking than to have its impassioned vows strictly edited by one who is a stickler for correct ex- pression.
