He bowed to me. I cut him. You know I did. I'll never speak to you again if you say he didn't.” “Anything for the sake of conversa- tion,” I said agreeably; “keep talking.

He said the feminine sex was the rock on which men were—wrecked, or foundered, or —something nautical, anyhow.

Why this unusual custom pre- vails is easily explained. The men are all fishermen, many of them going as far as the Newfoundland banks, and are at home only during a few months in the winter. |early February is set apart for the | weddings. Little courting is done, buf ' much haggling over the dowry of the girls. They have to bring a certain | quantity of linen, chickens, pigs, and | vegetables. TFrequently a match is ,broken off because a father refuses to ,add a sack of potatoes to the dowry. On the day set the inhabitants of the ntire region go to Plangastel. The whole populition goes to churuch to hear mass, to take communion. Often 50 or more couples are united on the same day. Bride and bridegroom do not walk together until the ceremony hag beea completed, It Was the Boss, All Right. In the window of a downtown res. taurant somebody had placed a sign which read: “SECOND COOK WANTED.” An applicant made his way to the kitchen and found the head cook. “There's the boss over there” sald the galley chief, jerking his head in the direction of a man washing dishes. “Don’'t kid me,” sald the caller. (“Tell me if you want me or tell me If you don’t. There's no use of ring- ing in a dishwasher.” | ‘The man at the sink picked a stack of plates out of the water and let them all fall to the floor with o smash. “Now.” he exclaimed, “tell me who © you think the bose *" Letme following her. | i “I didn’t say anything.

Muscular movements are the golden chords of good works which mingle with the visions of great deeds and harmonize the soul of man with purer worlds. They give both a source of reserve power and confidence, a power of growth, of good and of evil, which nothing else does. Optimists are usu- ally men and women who come from a vigorous, stocky, muscular race. They are of the type who are potenti- ally as well as ac‘ually of fine Real Warfare. “Oh, dear, I wish this dreadful war in Europe would stop,” sald Mrs. Was- serby. | “I feel the same way,” answered Mrs. Twobble. “My heart bleeds for, the sufferers.” “Of course I'm sorry for everybody | who is a victim of the war,” said Mre. i ‘Wasserby, “but what I was thinking about at the moment was the eflm‘t it's having on our children.

Pat was employed on an engineering | job, a few miles out of the city, and , was carried to his work by an express , train, which accommodatingly slowed up near the scene of his labors. One morning, however, the train rushed through the cut without reducing speed, and the superintendent of the job looked in vain for Pat. At last he saw a much-battered Irishman limp- ing nack down the ties, and ca'led to him: “Hello, Pat! Where did you, get off?” Pat turued stifly, and wav- ing his hand toward the steep embank- | ment, sighed: “Oh--all along here!" e ————————— —————— SANITARY PRESSING OLUB CLEANING, PRESSING.
