Phe problem is how to sort them out and keep the amateur out of Fri with the professional long enough to change his mental and outlook. Social workers make more and more of this formula: the club spirit boys are led into crime.

HE suggestion that all the gentlemen present, Frits the shipping clerk; Mal- achi, the night oiler at the brewery; Sweeny, the po- iceman, and Mr, Jarr should all lift the end of the folding bed was a good suggestion. Even La Belle Rotundi, the fat sister of Frits, who was enjoying a fit of long distance hysterica in the unfolded folding bed, must have felt the influence of the uplift movement in which all these strong men were interested. Also the imprisoned moving picture operator behind the door the unfolded folding bed blocked shouted his approval of the plan. : “Up with the thing quick, and make the fat damd do a head pin!" he had shouted. But, while the plan to lift up the folding bed, let the consequences be what they might, was a good one, the unfolded bed not only jamm the door of the back parlor bedroom shut, but the foot of it came so close aide wall toward the hall of Fritg’s narrow ground floor flat that noboly could get between the foot of the bed and the wall, Hits From Sharp Wits. ‘That New Jersey hen which cackl two hours after laying an egg wit! three yolks seems to be troubled with exaggerated ego.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

IN reply to my question anent using bis salary, Jack retorted: “We'll risk it!” “Do tell) me your plan, 4, I'm almost wild to hear it!" ‘It's simple enough! We will open an account in your name with the thousand dollars, and then I'll buy or sell for you whenever I get a tip that I think is any good.” “But won't the firm object to that? They will know I am _ your wife, won't they?” I asked, never thinking of objecting myself. “We will usp your maiden name. I will open the account in the name of Susan Hamlin.

I went downtown with him the next morning, and drew out the $800 and gave it to him. I could scarcely wait until he came home at night to find out what he had done. He came in whistling, an: er kissing me and the babies, he gave me a statement show- ing that Susan Hamlin had that day deposited with Flam & Co., $1,000. ‘Then he showed me a r which said bought 100 c “Why Jack!"
