A Cake Wltlumt Flavoring
Beth was very busy making a
cake, for she was going to have
her mother and father over to din
ner that evening. As she had been
married just a month, she was
making careful preparations to have
her mother and father see what a
neat housekeeper she was, because
her mother had always said she
would never mako one. To tell the
truth her mother was right, but
Beth didn't think so, and was try
ing her best to fool her mother.
It was almost time for dinner, and
Beth was just making her cake, lu
all her hurry Beth found that she
didn't have any flavoring. She
looked high and low in the pantry,
but the flavoring was not there.
"What can I do?" thought she.
"It will take tco long to ride to
town." "I guess mother and father
won't know the difference," so she
made her cake without flavoring.
That night when they were eating,
her father did notice the difference
and made a remark that ooeved
Berth very much.
"Have you left anything out of
the cake?" said he. "No I don't
think so," replied Beth. "It was ver
pleasant today,' said her mother
changing the subject. She had no
ticed that there was no flavoring i:i
the cake, but did not v.ant. to say
anything.
"You have surprised me very
much Beth," said her mother. "
didn't know you could keep house
so well." This pleased Beth very
much. She had fooled her mother
after all.

The Lost Report.
. Tee! today was when the re
port had to go in and Miss Burns
was very happy, for she had her's
a!l ready. By and by the superin
tendent came in to get it. Miss
Burns looked lu the top drawer of
her desk where she hud put it on
top of all the other papers, but it
was not there. She looked every
where except in the student's desks.
"Well I'm sorry that you can't find
it. You know I told you I wanted
it today; but I'll give you till to
morrow and if you haven't found it
yet I'll have to have you discharg
ed," said the superintendent. What
should she do? She couldn't make
another out in that time. There
wan a girl named Lily Smith who
disliked her teacher and it was
Lily who had taken the report. The
next day after the students had
gone Miss Burns was looking into
the desk across from Lily's for a
book; she glanced in Lily's desk
and yes—there was the report
with the end hanging out of the
tablet. She took the report and
went to the superintendent's office.
He was just leaving, and she gave
him the report and told him every
thing. Next day she told Lily to
go to the superintendent's office.
Lily was very pale when she
knocked at the dcor of the office.
She told everything, and would have
been expelled had she not apologiz
ed to Miss Burns and promised
never to do it Egain, and after that
she was always counted as one of
her young teacher's best friends.

The Miser's Trick.
Old Jim, who was something of
a miser, started for town one night
to collect some hills. He carried
an old tobacco sack, in which he in
tended to bring his money home.
He collected about ten dollars, and
had one more place to collect
from, and as it was over a lonely
road, lie was uneasy about his mon
ey. He finally decided to cache it,
and get it on bis way home. He
went over to a big oak tree, and
slipped his money under a bush
growing near. He didn't see a very
forlorn specimen of trampdom sit
ing on the other side of the tree,
but the tramp saw him. After
looking aground to make sure that
no one had seen him, Jim depart
ed, leaving the tramp to chuckle
over his prize. When Jim came
tack his money was not there, so
he became excited, and rushing
down to the constable's office, told
him he had had one hundred dol
lars stolen from him. Old Jim
was so persistent in getting the
constable out and busy, that the
tramp was caught, and the ten
dollars returned, whereupon Jim
declared that there must be a
gang of thieves, as he had lost
cue hundred dollars. He had seen
his chance to make some money,
and he followed it up. He follow
ed the constable all over Ilay
burd and the surrounding fields,
and every tramp that was
caught was made to give his quota.
In the early dawn old Jim went
chuckling home, with eighty seven
good dollars in his pocket, and the
promise of the constable that the
remaining thirteen dollars would be
returned as soon as enough tramps
were caught, while about a dozen
tramps went the other way with
empty pockets.

The Little Girl Who Would Not
Go to Sleep
Once upon a time there was a lit
tle girl, who would not go to sleep.
This was very strange, too, because
she had been put to bed very
comfortably. The soft white cur
tains were pulled down, so as not to
let a single silvery ray of moon
light creep in. Even the little whit
blanket that had sleepy, fuzzy
white bunnies all over it, was tuck
ed up around the little girl's chin.
The soft down pillows, full of goose
feathers, was under the curly head.
Now, mother thought the little girl
had gone to sleep, but O no, she
had not even closed her eyes, which
were as round as saucers, and
this is the reason why.
There was a little gray mouse,
that lived in the big, red chimney
Every night, when everything was
quiet, this little mouse, began to
caper and dance very softly and
daintily. Of course he thought
ro one could hear him. The little
girl being awake heard the noise.
She decided to find out what it was
so she crept out of her bed. B-:r,
wherever she looked, the noise was
not there. So she went back to
bed and went to sleep. But she
dreamed of always looking for tl e
noise, but it was not there.

Molly Arrives in America
Mollv O'Hara was coming in a
big boat from the old country to
meet her husband-to-be, Pat O'Kieth
He was to meet her at the New
York dock, from where they would
proceed to the license bureau. Pat
had been in the United States for
about six mouths. He had been put
on the police force and given a uni
form. He had sent Molly his pic
ture of himself. The uniform was
what decided Molly she would come
Pacing on the deck Molly saw the
dim outline of Manhattan. As the
boat ueared the dock Molly could
see it was black with people. She
wondered if she could find Pat, but
decided that as he had risen to
be a policeman, he sure could easi
ly be distinguished among the com
mon herd. Nevertheless she anx
iously scanned the faces on the
shore.
The boat was docked and the
gang-plank was lowered. A man
demanded to see her luggage. Mol
lv was very indignant and informed
him she was the future Mrs. Pat
rich O'Kieth of the New York po
lice force, and lie would certainlv
"get his," when Pat heard of this.
Molly did not think he seemed pro
perly impressed with her importance,
Bui still Paddy did not come for
her. Almost all the people had got
ten off by this time and Molly was
very worried.
Molly waited a wnue longer aim
then decided she would go and
look up Paddy. Although slightly
bewildered by the hustle and bustle
about her she set bravely out. She
caught sight of a blue uniform and
almost cried in her delight. She
rushed forward, a man turned when
she grasped him, but O, horrors
it was not Paddy. The man tried
to free himself but Molly was so
surprised she hung right on. The
captain of the force, for such he
was, managed to reach a telephoue
isole where he called loudly for
help. A passing man stopped and
rang the patrol bell and a tew
mii-utes later the patrol swung
around the corner and Molly was
placed in it, too astonished and
angry to protest. After a long ride
they stopped. Molly with a robust
blue coat on each Bide of her was
hustled before an imposing looking
man who sternly demanded her age,
name and country, and if she'd ev
er been "up," before. Molly didn't
comprehend. "I want imy Paddy,"
she shrieked. Just then the new
man on the force entered took
one look at Molly and—.
The force presented Molly and
Paddy with a gilt framed picture,
"Home Sweet Home," for a wedding
present.

"Jfot There."
. " '|
It was ton minutes after tliu ap
pointed time, and Frenchy was iu
at the rendezvous. English J erf
sat facing a small black-eyed J.u.1
lan In a brilliantly lighted cellar.
This underground room was one s-f
a dozen which was th$ hang-out of
a notorious gang of gentlemen
thieves. English Jeff, the leader
was a large well dressed, well
r-oomed man. The gang did not
bcther with trifles; they were out
after the big issues, and on this
special evening they were after a
consignment of jewels which were
kept in a large house on Oanford
street. Three others lounged in the
different corners, seeming to rep
resent all nationalities. "Frenchy"
the expected partner had the plans
the building and grounds, which
had been made out by the butler,
whom the men had bribed. The
w.ndows, doors, stairs; everything
svas located to a nicety. And noth
ing could be done until Frenchy
:ame. After an hour's time, Jeff
innounced, that *"e was going to
ave a squint around and see if
.he blooming nut was coming at
iwl. 'E's the larst one that Hi
ivoiild depend on in an emergency,'*
le said as a finish and touching a
part of the wall where he stood, a
imall door flew open and after stat
ing that he would be back "in
:bout an 'arf of an hour, he disap
peared into a dark tunnel, the door
.'losing behind him: The English
man made his way to the street and
svas startled to see "Frenchy" be
ing dragged along by a couple of
'Bobbies." The two was followed
:lisely by two plain-clothe men.
With a smothered oath he beat a
hasty retreat back to his com
rades in enterprise. Breaking into
the cellar, he breathlessly announc
ed that "the blarsted fool had
none and been caught." The four
made a rush for the cellar door,
tnd after going through about three
blocks of underground passage, em-,
urged through a trapdoor into a
park. They parted and each went
his way. Meanwhile "Frenchy" was
being cross-examined and after a lit
tle "third-degree," he told where
the place was. The police gum
shoed along and were much chagrin
ed to find that the "birds" were
not there.

Long Drawn Out.
Uncle Jeff, au nged negro driver of
Augusta, was piloting several north
ern visitors around Just after the first
golf links had been put in there. Un
cle Jeff was a little short In his
knowledge according to St, Andrew,
but long on local pride.
"How many holes have they?" In
quired a Tlsitor, "eighteen?"
Uncle Jeff pulled up to make his an
swer more impressive.
"More'n dat, suh," he said. "Dey's
got a passel er land, and de holes
ain't bigger'n a tin can. I reclcin
dey'a got a thousand holes already,

First Sumptuary Laws.
Laws regulating eating, drinking
and dressing are almost as old as his
tory Itself. Nothing like exactness
can be reached in the matter, but it is
safe to say that It was In Egypt as far
back as 3000 B. C. that the first prac
tical sumptuary statutes were passed.
Among the Romans they first appear
ed In the celebrated "tweive tables."
In modern times Charlemagne was the
pioneer In sumptuary legislation.
A Bird That Bestows a Curse.
The stonechat, a "soft billed" bird,
is so called from the similarity of its
alarm note and the striking together
of two pebbles. In some parts of
Scotland it i3 supposed to contain a
drop of the devil's blood! and its nest
Is never taken because of the curse
it Is always promising.—Country Life.
Leisurely Tasmania.
Leisure is regarded as so notable a
characteristic of Tasmania that it
bears the nickname of "the land of
lots of time," or "the land of sleep a
lot," while its inhabitants are called
"tassles" and "jam eaters," the latter
being an allusion to the island's great
fruit farms.
One Argument He Won.
