His Able Effort It was ten o'clock on Saturday morning. Nothing disturbed ike still- | ness of the office except the click of 1 the typewriter. | Suddenly the door was cantiously "opened and an anxious tace inserted itself in the aperture. Satisfied that the coast was clear and that he was unobserved, the body of the office boy swiftly followed. Put the stenog- rapher’'s ears were keen, and without turning her head, she sang out sweet- I¥: “Good morning, Jimmy. I thought you had gone on a vacation.” “Aw, bunk!" was the ungracious re- joinder as Jimmy hung up his hat and smoothed his pompadour in front of the office glass. “Is the big boy in?" nodding his head toward the inner office. “Not vet: | which is a mighty good thing for you. Better get busy and distribute that mail. It has been ly- ing there since the second dellvery. You deserve to lose your job, being late so often. I'm going to call up vour house and have a talk with your father. He ought to give you a good lickin".” | “Huh, it wouldn't do you much good, 'cause I left home last night, and the old man doesn't know where Iam.” “Why, Jimmy! Tell me about it.” “Well, you see. the old man came home late last night with a grouch, and got bossy with me, so I told him that he acted as if he was stewed—" “Jimmy, you didn't say anything like that!” “I did, and, gee, maybe he wasn't sore! He told me if I couldn’t treat him with respect I could get out, and a lot more things. Then I got mad, gathered up my clothes, put 'em in dad's best suit case and went down to the Voorhees hotel. Some sport, eh, Lizzle? “I registered as a salesman from Toledo. and told the gink at the desk I wanted a room with a bath, He said, ‘Al right, sir’ then yelled, ‘F-r-r- r-r-ront!’ “The bell hop came a-runnin’, grabbed my suit case and took me up in the elevator, opened the door of M-4, turned on the light, pulled down the shades and said: ‘Aaything more, sir? “I swelled out my chest like the old man does when he's putting on a game front, slipped the hop a dime, and sald: ‘No, boy! that'll be all for the present. “Say, litle one, maybe 1 didn't give ‘em the bunk to make 'em think I was some classy salesman! Ob, itw 8 too easy.” “You're dreadfully bold, Jimmy. How did you dare do such.a thing, and what will your father say?” “Huh! The old man's afraid of me. I"'m going to let him worry for a while. He'll want me back bad enough.” “You're entirely too conceited. If T was your father I'd let you shift for yourself. Where did you get the money to pay for your room? Did you have any breakfast?” “Did I have any breakfast? Say, Lizzie, I went into that dining room | with my head up, ordered the classi- | est breakfast in town, slgned the check and gave the waiter 20 cents— all the money I had in my clothes.” “Jimmy, don't tell me such fibs” “Fibs, nothin’. I had 30 cents when | I went there last night, gave 10 cents to the hop and 20 to the waiter. I | tell you I'm the real goods when it comes to a con game.” “You can't keep that up indefinite- 1y, Jimmy, so you'd better go home where you belong, and stay there, be- fore you run up too big a bill. I think your conduct is outrageous.” “Aw, forget it, and let me take & couple o' beans.” | L | is about 3,000, | two inches wide there ha “Well, I should say not. You can| waste your own money if you want, to, but you can't waste mine.” “Gee, but you're a tight wad. Who caught that mouse in your desk? Who ! | gets your lunch for you when it rains? | | Who stands in line to buy your mati- | nee tickets? And, what's more, who takes notes over to that rummy in the | postoffice? Say, Liz, be a good scout, and slip me a couple o’ beans.” “That will not be necessary,” gald | a voice on the other side of the rail- | ing. “We'll continue this very in- teresting conversation out in the hall, | my son, and I'll engage myself for a | speaking part in it.” Concerning the Eel Family. | There is the broad nose eel, and | then again there is the sharp mose | eel, The great difference between | these two varieties is that the broad- | nosed eel i{s the male and the sharp- ;noled eel is the female, both bemg ! really of one and the same family. | When summer comes young eels by Ilhe millions shoot from midocean to ' | shore and wriggle up our rivers. Out | at sea young eels are as clear as glass and as thin as ribbon. They are about four inches long, with a little head. | | The young eel seems not to eat at | ‘ gea, and only loses its glassy look and | | becomes colored as it gets to shore | | within reach of a river. { Gungywamp Liftin', l Hank Stubbs—Heerd they warn't| no services in church last Sunday.

I haven't a woman patient today, a chronic pa- tient, I mean, who couldn’t have es- caped me—escaped me forever, or at least until the very last cail, if she had been trained right physically from her childhood up. What I mean is that evervthing that is the matter with my patients is by wrong ways of living and thinking. 1t's de pressing, isn't it, to consider the waste?” Searches for Buried Treasure. A countess who lives near Rome {8 | carrying on a search for buried treas- ure. She found in her library an old manuscript, wherein was told ot a treasure buried in her land, and di- rections given for the excavations. A Spiritualist is said to have intormed the countess that the words of the manuscript are true, The Stars. The number of stars that can be seen by a sharp eye in our hemisphere or 6,000 in both hem- ispheres. By the telesgcope, of course, many thousands of stars are brought out that are invisible 1o the naked eye. Using an instrument little more than ve been more than 310,000 stars duly charted in the northern half of the heavens alone It has been estimated by very high authorities that the total number vis- ible in the whole celestial vault would mount up to 80,000,000. e SR el something superimposed | ol Eq FIRST BAPTIST CHUR(y; Corner Florida avenue 3 The Rev.
