Most people are willing to attend to anything except their own business. Wemen’s dresses are becoming short- er, and when shorter are more becoming. Every profession has its black sheep and every profession tries to paint them white. We wouldn't mind people what they think if they didn’t awful things about us. who say think such All winter we have listened to the call of the political wild, now let’s listen to the call of the umpires, “Play ball!” An economist is a fellow who gets paid for making phony predictions and thinking up economic «echemes that won't work An editor often gets an idea from folks who suggest how to run the paper. tienerally it is the idea that he would like to shoot the suggester. An exchange tells of a young woman whe “wave up her job at the soup works to study home economics.” And will prob- ably learn that an effective measure of economy is eating plenty of soup. When so-c: iad big shots come into a community, particularly a small one, and issue a ukase that they will not see news papermen, it is useless for any one else to make the attempt.

One, a Chinese girl who had been The other, a Chinese be friended by an American family in Charleston, became a Christian, returned to China and married a Christian Chinese girl. Four of their children were educated in the United States, and their family be- came one df the most influential in China. One daughter married Sun Yat Sen, founder of the Chinese republic; another married Chiang Kai Shek, China’s chief | leader today; a third married Kung Hsiang Hsi, recently finance minister of China; while a son, Soong To Vung, was also fi- fance minister and represented China in several international conferences, “The Christian influences which have gone out from their family,” says Bishop Bartlett; “are incalculable, and go back to friendliness shown toward a Chinese boy in America.” SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The practical joker who periodically sells the Statue of Liberty, the Empire building and other objects of art to un- sophisticated customers recently sold the historic Plymouth Rock to a New York dealer in antiques. The buyer sent a truckman to obtain his latest treasure, but when a derrick was being rigged for its removal a limb of the law intervened and stopped the proceedings. How very much alike twins may be in actions as well as looks was illustrated by “Herbert and. Albert Jack-on of Chicago. Goth got married five years ago; both de- serted their wives a year ago; both mar- ried again without being divorced a few weeks ago; both were arrested for bigamy a few days ago.

It is unfortunate to lose a limb, but fortunate that it can not be amputated but once, as Jame; Bath of Bangor, Me., can testify. In erossing a railroad track he misjudged the speed of a passenger train, which threw him for no gain and neatly clipped off the end of his wooden leg. Getting the wrong telephone number is not unusual, although not so common as jokesmiths would have us believe. But a London telephone girl had occasion to say “Excuse it pleave” with unusual humility when she connected a_ subscriber with | Chile instead of Argentina. It is thought to be the first case of giving a patron the wrong country. When Howard Gibson, a railroad em- ployee, saw a supply train speeding down a steep grade near Waynesboro, Va., the same track on which a_ freight standing, he threw a switch and let | supply train slide in safety onto a ! track. He was then bawled out for having unauthorized possession of the switch key. of the John McGraw, who once fined a_ player for hitting a home run when he had been signalled to bunt. was the From a Japanese schoolboy’s on Washington: ‘George Washington was rore because American persons not free.
