His mother said she just knew the child was {1l and she held the medica! thermometer under his tongue Iv main force, but his Aunt Victoria | raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes while studying him. The trouble was that Willie had not shrieked with joy when his mother had said that she would take him to the circus. He Lad not even seemed faintly interested. It was an unheard of state of things! “He hasn’t any fever,” announced his mother anxiously, consulting the | thermometer. “Does your head ache, ! darling?” i “Nope,” Willie said cheerfully. | “I never heard of a boy who wasn't perfectly crazy to go to a circus!" you worry the life out of me from the time the posters are put up! You acted that way when this circus first was announced, and I don't see—are you sure you don't want to go?®' “I'd ruther go play with Arthur Meets every Friday night at 7:30 Jones,” Willle said, wriggling. le edged out of the door. “I just know he's going to be sick,” repeated his mother. “I wouldn't worry,” sald his Aunt Victoria. “He looks perfectly healthy.” But secretly she was as much amazed as was Willle's mother. Re- garding Willle from a calm, unemo- tional point of view, she recognized the fact that there might be other ex- planations than any which came into the mind of his worried parent. There had been gorgeous posters for several weeks in the suburb show- fog forth the glories of the small cir- cus that was coming, and Willle, with the other small boys, had followed the bill poster about, hysterically whoop- ing with glee. He had talked circus and dreamed circus for days and had uearly broke his neck practicing on icach month at 2:30 p. m. Visiting| the tight rope In the back yard, to the serious injury of the family clothes- line. And now, the second day of the show, he had rejected his chance to go. It certainly was not normal con- duct on Willle's part. His Aunt Victorla cornered Willie that evening and offered him some chocolates. “Tell me why you don't want to go to the circus,” she sald, be- gullingly. “Huh!" sald Willie. “I seen it.” “I knew perfectly well you weren't going to be sick,” she sald, triumph- antly, “Have another chocolate, Did you go to it yesterday?' “Huh!” confided Willie, “I wuz in it Aunt Victoria clutched the chalr arm. “In 1t?" she repeated faintly. Willle kicked one foot meditatively agalnst the step. “Well,” he amend- ed, “not eggzactly in it, y'know. 1 wuz on it.” Aunt Victoria felt her back hair dis- tractedly and swallowed hard. “Willle!” she cried impressively. ‘Tell me this minute what you mean! It your mother dreamed—" Willle edged nearer. “I rode a nele- phunt,” he confided, “in the parade.” “Do you mean to say,” his question- er gasped, “that you actually were in the procession? On an elephant that has a milllon more germs than a fly has—and you know how frightened your mother is if a fly gets near you? How did you dare—" “A man sald [ could,” Willle pro- tested. "I was hanging around with the other kids. I seen it all because I crawled under the tent. I helped feed the elephunts an’' the man he ast it I wanted to be in the percession, an’ 1 sald I did, an’ he got a red coat an' I wore it! Say, did you know elephunts are #0 high up when you ride 'em?” “Willte 1s not coming down with typhold or the measles,” his Aunt Vie toria announced later to his parents. “In fact, I should say he is more than ordinarily sane and healthy.” Willie's father hates germs as much as does Wlllle’s mother, and he was annoyed on hearing of his son's deeds. “You really ought to tell him not to do such things'” he sald to his wife. It was then that Willie's mother turned on Willie's father. “My good- ness!” she said. “Who on earth would | ever think on getting up In the morn- ing of telling a perfectly well brought | up child that he must not on any ac- | count put on a red coat and ride an | elephant! Between you and your son | you'll drive me crazy!" “Anyhow,” sighed Willle contented- 1y, “I seen the circus!™ To the Letter, Above the great editor's peared the motto: “Be accurate"—a motto that was hammere 110 every member of the staff with painful in- sistence.

London is the banking center of the | world [ 1912, “Did you know,” began the young man when there came a pause in the conversation, “that I am collecting sta- tistics? Well, I am. What is your fa- vorite flover? And please name your favorite poem.” The young woman sitting opposite Lim laughed. He looked aggrieved. “You don't seem to realize,” he told Ler, “that I am serfous. Well, I am. Why laugh?” “I thought you were trying to be funny,” she told him. “Anyhow, you were funny. Wouldn't you rather try to be funny and succeed than attempt to be serious and fall?” “This {s no time for harassing ques- tions,” the young man told her. “I am corry you prefer to keep secret your fuvorite flower and your most admired poem, but, of course, I respect your at- titude of reserve. iHowever, you might tell me something else—statistical, a!s0. I do not ask who is your favor- fte man; I simply ask what kind of a man {s your ideal?” “You are terribly in need of ideas for conversation, aren’t you?” com- mented the young woman. “I think I have suggested a most in- teresting topic,” the young man insist- ed. “You have no idea how devoted I am to statistics, and if you were at all kind-hearted you'd not slight the subject. “I suppose your ideal,” the young man continued, “is a tall, dark, hand- some youth with flashing bl—" “Fiddlesticks!” sald the young wom- an. “Girls aren't as foolish as ail that! A man's looks don't count so very much., Of course, a girl wants a man to be presentable and pleasant looking, but she doesn't care if he is actualiy homely, provided he's the right sort. Why, I've seen some ugly men who were simply fascinating—I don't know why. 1 suppose it was be- cause they had such strong personall- tles. I shouldn’t care at all about a handsome man for a husband. Such a man would he more than likely to be vain.” “I'm glad you are so sensible,” com- mented the young man, “It is cheer- ing to the average grubby specimen of manhood to hear a girl talk like that. You see, if a man is not especlally good looking he feels that the girls don’t care about him. I know how it is myself. 1" “You!" int<rrupted the young wom- an. “I hope you don’t consider your- self homely?" “I never took a prize at a beauty show,” confessed the young man. “Now, let's get back to our statistics. 1 suppose your {deal man is terribly rich and could shower automoblles and dlamonds upon you with one hand while he wrote checks with the oth- er?” “I'm sorry you have such a poor opinion of me,” sald the young wom- an. “It's all right to have enough money to pay the grocery bills and buy deocent clothes, but I never yearned for great wealth. [ think rich men are likely to be awtully selfish and friv- olous or self-centered and peevish. They don't have time to pay attention to their familles and they drift away from thelr wives and get divorces— not any of that for me! No, I think people are lots happler when they have a modest income and live within 1" “You certainly are a wonder!” de- clared the young man, admiringly. *I never knew any other girl with so much sense. But I suppose you'd ex- pect thd man you marry at least to own his own home and be able to give you an allowance—" “Halt the fun is working and saving together for a home,” sald the young woman. “A girl likes to help the right sort of man—" “What s the right sort of man?” in- quired her caller, eagerly. She smiled a little, looked airily over his head and then met his gaze. “Why,” she sald, “I suppose the right sort of man {s the one the girl hap- pens to be In love with!™ “That sounds plausible,” the young man sald. “I think you've made a very valuable contribution to my sta- tistics, and I'm greatly obliged to you. More than that, it makes me happy to find that you care enough about me to marry me—" “My goodness!™ shrieked the young woman. “I never sald one single word—" “'d like to know why not!™ he in. sisted. “You said that your ideal man was not good looking and had only a moderate ind didn’t own his if that doesn’t hit me You'll never find any | ¢ meeting that de- 3 1 better grab me ! t, won't I do H “D-d-do rou 1 “Dare * to marry you, and see!” cried the yo an, jovously.—Chi- cago Daily News.
