"DIDN’T IT RAIN!"
Noah Swayne is never too weary
for a song.
Round a campfire in the Poconos
he was often called on for a lyric,
and they tell me his enunciation of
“The Rattle Hymn of the Republic”
was so clear that, like George White
field preaching, he could be heard a
mile away.
But he sang once too often last
summer. For after he had sung
“The Battle Hymn" his hearers
would not rest content till he gave
them Harry Burleigh’s rollicking
ballad, “Didn’t It Rain!”
Whereupon a competent witness
informs me, it promptly began to
rain, and it rained for 30 days, till
Noah began to think that, like his
namesake, he \w*uld have to build
an ark in place of his beloved motor
boat.
It. rained till the children canoed
over the ten of the dock: and Mr.
Swavne now has a reputation as a
professional rainmaker second to
none.—Philadelphia Public Ledger
AS A SPECIMEN.
“Whore in the demnition lda/os is

lowed the city editor.
“I sent him out to cover a lecture

“You did, eh? Well, I hope you

wouldn’t attract much attention. At
a meeting of that kind lie’s liable to

DISTINCTION UNSOUGHT.
“Do you believe you possess the
high qualities of character which
make a man a good loser ?”
“I flatter myself that I do,” re
plied Senator Sorghum; “at the
same time I hope circumstances will
never be such as to comjiel me to
prove it.”
BRIDESMAIDS ON FIRE ENGINES.

HARVARD BOYS ARE CAREFUL
—
Justice of Cambridge (Mass.) Crimi- I
rial Court Corrects an Impression
Too Generally Held.
I am constantly asked about the I
dealings of the Criminal court in
Cambridge with the students in
Harvard college, and my reply is
frequently met with obvious skepti
cism. The simple fact is that for
a good many years Harvard college
has been a wholly negligible factor ,
in the work of the court, writes
Charles Almy, justice of the Cam
bridge District court, in the Boston
Transcript.
Students occasionally get into
some trouble over the operation of
automobiles, which no man can own
and operate without sooner or later
coming in conflict with the criminal
law, but their misdoings even in
this respect are trifling matters.
They economize on garage fees by
leaving their cars standing all night
in the street; they are careless
about their lights and in many oth
er ways, but they do not appear be
fore the court for the really serious
matters, such as operating reckless
ly under the influence of liquor.
The ordinary offenses which are as
sociated in the public mind with
students, such as drunkenness or
disorderly conduct, are almost un
known.
ONLY CHANGE IS IN METHOD
Human Race as “Pugnacious" Today
as It Was in the Times of
the Old Romans.
The word “pugnacity” is a pat
reminder of the short and simple
way of doing things. When an old
Roman was disposed to be quarrel
some he went at it by the direct
method of using his fist, or “pug
nus.” Hence “pugno”—I fight.
It will be seen that the word
“pugnacious” is closely allied to our
modern phrase of the boxing ring
or the alley: “Handy with his
fists.”
The next time you are disposed
to be quarrelsome in the modem
way of being argumentative, remem
ber the origin of the word “pug
nacious.” The method of being
pugnacious has varied somewhat un
der the influence of police regula
tions and the higher conception of
individual rights. Most of the time
we substitute bitter words for hard
fists. But the principle is the same,
and it is a savage desire to knock
the other fellow down.—Chicago
Journal.
UNEXPECTED RIDE.
Ten years ago we attended the
Indian “com dance,” on the Rose
bud reservation. The festivities
were held inside the race course and
the Indians were decked out in gay
blankets, paint and feathers galorfe.
When my husband went to get me
a drink of water, a gorgeous young
chief stepped up, looked our auto
over and, without a word, hopped
in'beside me and proceeded to race
our machine around the race course,
his blanket and feathers streaming
on,the breeze while I held on to the
seat, shrieking madly. Round and
round the course we whizzed until
the gas was exhausted. Then say
ing, “Heap ride,” lie stalked ma
jcsticaily away.—Chicago Journal.
FEW ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS.
Owing to tin* excellent system of
insjifction by the municipality of
Xew York and the insurance com
panies. the accident record of the
13,500 elevators in that city is very
small. On each of the 313 working
days of 1919, 6,000,000 passengers
were carried through tin* 10,000
miles of elevator shafts, making a
total of 1,878,000,000 passengers for
the year, but only one passenger out
of every 87,500,000 was killed in
the elevator trips.

OLD WRECK CAUSED DISASTER.
A barnacle-covered 40-year-old
wreck sank the Gloucester schooner
Esperanto off Sable island, accord
ing to investigators. Ollicials who
visited the scene* of the wreck said
the schooner struck the remains of
the State of Virginia, which went
down July 12, 1879. The point is
\ generally avoided by navigators, be
ing known as the “Graveyard of
the Atlantic,” from the number of
wrecks which have occurred there.
