I am aware that, according the latest edition of the revised statutes, eating pie at breakfast is now a peni- tentiary offense, punishable by hard labor on the farm for a period not ex- ceeding eighty-five But it once shared with early rising the reputa- tion of a virtuous act. There are peo- ple today who are well thought of in the community— who “dress dinner,” bless your heart—who have, none the less, eaten ple for breakfast and have tipped back on their chairs’ hind legs and sat thus with such a smile upon their faces as spoke peace with all the world, themselves included. But nowadays merely much fried stuff, pork potatoes and pancakes and se much sweet stuff, fruit preserves, coffee cup a puddle of sugar, pie and all that, who hear it to the kitchen cupboard, soda 1s, first aid to the indigestive To eat such a meal seems hardly less barbarous than wearing feathers in a scalp lock.

They say that at one time there was no water on the earth at all except in the body of an immense frog, where men and women could not get at it There was a great council on the sub ject, and [t was found out that if the frog could be made to laugh the wa ters would run out of his mouth and the drought be ended So several animals were made to dance and caper before the frog to In duce him to laugh, but he did not ever smile, and waters remained In his body.

It is authentically reported among an- glers on Deeside that when the queen wanted John he was Immediately at her call except when angling, such times she would not disturb him, The tacit understanding between them is said to have arisen In the following fashion: Her majesty one day sent an Imperative message to the riverside desiring John immediately walt upon her “Tell her majesty,” replied Jolin in his usual Dorie, “that I am rinnin’ a salmon and | canna come.” The messenger came back to him in hot haste, saying that the queen de- sired to see him the very minute. “Well, tell her majesty this time that 1 am rinnin’ a salmon and 1 winna come.” And that settled it to Albatross and Magpie.
