THIS P. R. A. J. SOCIETY.
When Mrs. Burton received n letter
from hor sister, Mrs. Graham, asking
whether Annie Qraham could etny with
her mint nnd cousins from September
till tho following January, alio wrraniuch.
pleased. Annie was 13 years old, just
tho ngo of Tom Burton; and as tho four
other children wore much older, their
nges ranging from' 18 to 24, she thought
It would bo very pleasant for Tom to
hnvo n companion of his own ngo. The
whole family thought n bright littlo girl
would bo nn ngreenblo addition to the
household circlo; but when Annlo enmo
they wero much disappointed. Hor ap
pearonco was pleasing. Sho had a trim
littlo flguro, bright black ayes, pretty
dark curls, and, though her features
wero rather irregular, her expression
was both amiable and Intelligent; her
manners, too, wero graceful and re
fined; yet sho was painfully shy. Slx
seemed troubled if spoken to, and even
n glanco would causo her to shrink m if
trying to hide from oTery eyo. The
thought of going to school seamed so
distressing that Mrs. Burton dropped the
subject and allowed her to stay at homo.
Tom was disappointed, and oomplftiued
to his mother that ho could not get ac
quainted with Annie.
"Nover mind, dear," said Mrs. Burton.
"I think you will get o together nicely
wiicn mo ico is once urocen; out rom
feared it would nover break.
Tom was a good boy, In tho main,
though ho had a very quick temper, and
ho was a good looking bor, but his hair
was red. Now, as somo poople object to
red hair, I should liks to describe Tom
as auburn or golden or tawny; but tho
truth is, that If ever hair was red-
genuine, unmistakable, unmitigated,
Aery red that hair wns Tom's, and Tom
know it. Poor boy! he couldn't help
knowing it, for ho had been teased about
It from his earliest recollection. Ills
trials began with his elder brothers al
home, but thoy culminated at school
when tho boys found how it plagued him
to pavo any allusion mado to hU hair,
Battlo after battle did Tom flirlit to conv
pel silence on tho subject, but all in vain.
Ono day, when Annlo had boon at her
aunt's for nearly a week, Tom rushed
homo from school and burst into the sit
ting room, where the family wero assem
bled, in such n plight that his appearance
was greeted by a chorus of reproof and
remonatrnnco.
"Dear mo, Tom," said fastidious Miss
Clara, "you look as though you had been
rolling In nn ash heap."
"llie sleeyo of your jacket is half torn
out nnd your collar is hanging," mild Miss
J una.
Hello, Tom, what's tho matter with
your eyes?" said Will. "Thoy don't
match; otto's bluo and tho other's black."
"Sullivan's nothing to vou, Tom," said
Bert. "You're a regular fighting phe
nomenon.
"Tom, dear, I hope you haven't
been
fighting again," said Mrs. Burton.
Yes, I have, mother," said Tom,
Tho fellows won't let mo nlono, and 1
won't stand being culled Carrot-top by
any ono."
"Nonsense!" said Miss Julia.
'What
harjn does tho namo do you?"
- "A rose by any other name,"' quoted
literary Hen.
"The boys are only in fun," said Miss
Clara.
"And your hair is red, Tom." said
Will, eying tho said hair critically, with
tho air of having, his attention called to
it for tho first time.
"You should try not to give way to
anger about suoli a tnllo, dear, said
sirs, tsurron. "xou should cultivate a
forgiving spirit."
llils lighting must stop, Mr," said
Mr. Burton, sternly. "Don't let me hoar
any moro of It."
Then, to the utter astonishment of
every one, another volco was heard, and
rnnio Uraliam spoko, voluntarily, for
tho first timo slnco tho hnd entered tho
house. She spoko in a clear, rather
Ugh pitched, sightly plaintive volco,
that gavo distinctness to every word
l know just how you feel about your
hair, lorn, tortus lust tho way I have
reit n great many times."
l'.very ono was amazed; oven Mr. Bur
ton laid down his paper when Annlo
spoko, and overy eye was fixed upon
ner. Torn was as surprised as the others,
nut ho said:
"How can you know nnvthlnc nbout
it, Annie?" with nn appreciative glance
at Annio'a dark curls. "Your hair Isn't
red."
"No," Bald Annie, solemnly, "It's my
nose." ,
Why, that isn't red. either." said
Will.-laughlng.
No," said Annie, In tho samo cloar.
plaintive, voice, "hut it's bq larco. It is
dreadful to have, such a noso; it seems
to cast a shadow over my wholo exist
enco." Will opened his mouth, seeing a
chanco for another joko, but, at a sign
from his mother, ho shut u again, and
Annie continued;
l think a largo noso is oven more
trying than red hair, for you can dyo
your hair, or cut It oil and wear a wig,
or it may turn gray; but a largo nose
can uover possibly grow smaller, and as
you grow older It will 1,-iok oven larger,
1 never can forget my noso. It has lieen
laughed at ever since I was a littlo, tiny
girl, and every ono that saw ma would
say: 'What u largo, noso that child has!'
Tlio girls at school laugh nt It, and ono
of them was angry at mo, nnd nick
named mo SwortllWi." and the others
look it ui. I dread to iro lo n now plnco,
I dreaded even to come to heo you, and
go to school hure, on account of my
noso,"
Annlo mused, and Tom. whine own
trials had taught him Bomething in IV
gard to porboual sonsittvenoss, said'
"I don't think your nose is bad look
ing nt nil, Annie; nnd. even If It wero a
great deal lar.-t-r than it is, it couldn't be
so bad as my ivd hair, for U diK.u't give
chance fur eo many jokus After any
ono lia iiii' i'l irge thev t aii'l fciy any

fill a volume."
bcllero tnoy wouta
"Thoso on my hair would
fill a whole
set of volumes, said Tom.
"Supposo you put tho matter to the
test," said Will. "Each of you tako n
blank book nnd writo in It all tho per
sonal remarks and jokes you .can recall.
and sco which has tho most."
"Agreed." said Tom. "I'll bet I'll cct
the uiost."
'And I feol suro that I will." said An
nie; 'but wo will try."
liy tlio timo evening came Tom and
Annlo hud each n blank book in readi
ness. Miss Clara helped to mako them.
and they wero very pretty. Tho covers
wero ol stiff, cream colored paper. On
Tom's was painted a lioy's head, crowned
by a ennot of brilliant orange, while
around tho edgo ran a fantastlo border
of oppies, torches, flamingoes, comets
and Other objects of sanguinary huo.
On tho cover of Annie's book was a
swordltsh, and tho border wm made up
of elephant's trunks, crano's bills, heads
of Mr. Punch and other 'Buggestive ob
jects.
Tom nnd Annlo wero in tho highest
spirits as thoy Bat sido by side, writing
and numbering the remarks and jokes
"missiles," as they agreed to call them,
Annio's shyness was qulto forgotten, her
black eyes bhone, nnd sua wh full of ani
mation. Bcdtimo came before tho Btock
of "missiles" was exhausted.
Tho next day Mrs. Burton again sug
gested Annie's going to school, and she
made no objection. Annie wae very mucl;
likod by teachers and pupils, and sho was
much loss shy than usual; for, if she did
not succeed in forjetinj her unfortunate
nose, she was cheered by the thought that
any remarks nxw upon it would swell
the number recorded in her blank book,
and she wae beoowing very anxious to
exool Tom in this regard. Annie thought
tlntjt her being a stranger ave Som an
unfair advantag' bwt Tom arid that was
balanced by the fact tto "the fellows
knesr he wow Id irmfc any oae that spoke
of kts hair." Tom dM no Wow that it
was Ids very rage at sck allusions that
tempted the boys to nefee them. Before
long his old enemy, Sam Whitney, re
turned to the charge.
"lieHo, Woodpecker," ha called out
to Tom. "I wish yo'd get your hair
cut. If you don't I'll have to get a pair
of green goggles to wear if you are go
ing to sit In front of me."
"(Jot them, then, said Tom, saying to
himsolf, with a feeling oc satisfaction,
Tlutt makea 10T." tfatai wm surprised
at Tom's ooolneee, and bept on with
speeches intended to be provoking,
which 'Sem quietly recorded in hi book,
bringing his number u to lit. Tom
and Annie had agreod that a joke re
peated should count fba sanaa m a new
one, Annio sagely remarking that old
jokes wero tho most provoking of all,
After a. time, so many such questions
arose that at Will's suggestion thoy drew
up a set of rules, and formed themselves
Into a secret society of two members,
each wearing a badge, on which was in
scribed tho mystio letters P. R. A. J. S.
signifying "Personal Bemarks and Jokes
Society." Thoy each carried a little note
book, in which they mado notes in akind
of "short hand of their own Invention, to
be afterward copied into the larger book.
Of course, these badges and note book
excited tho curiosity of the other pupils
but I oui and Annie could not ho per
suaded to divulge their meaning till, one
day, Annlo said:
Tom, I feel very sorry for Cornlo
Scott. Sho is a dear girl, but she is
rather stout, and aomo.of the girk make
fun of her. Cornlo never gets angry, but
I found her crying today, bcoauso Ida
Lorlng called hor a porpowe. Suppose
wo Invito her to join our society?
"Agreod," said Tom, "If you will lot
mo Invite Ned Warren. Ho s a good fel
low, but somo of the boys laugh at him.
becauso ho s cross eyed."
Iho society, thus enlarged to include
four mombers, began to hold regular
meetings, at which each member was
addressed by a namo that had been ongi
nany Dcstoweu m deriuion. Annlo was
Swordrkh; Tom, Woodpecker, Nei
was known ae lat, while Cornie cheer
fully responded to tho title of Por
poiso. Each had a book, modeled after
thoso originally mado by Tom and
Annie, and diligently collected "mls-
silee," though it was 6oon evident Cor
nie's would exceed all the others, her list
growing at a wonderful rate. Tlio so
ciety grow more and moro to be a social
club, and was soon joined by Cliarley
Gibson, a freckled boy, enrolled as
Leopard, and Emma Davis, a tall, thin

A Fnrnain street woman, vrlioso stoutness
makes her susceptible to tho heat, stayed at
homo from church last evening, and, In tho
company of her B-yoar-oid daughter and
a palm leaf fan, prepared to enjoy a quiet
evening upon tho front porch.
Unfortunately tho 8-yoar-oId was in n
talkative mood sad tho following unseason
able dialogue took placet
Ma, why don't you wear your black vel
vet drees Instead of that old white wrapper!''
Tbe stout woman fanned vigorously.
"Hush, darling; It Is too heavy for such
weather. I will wear It next winter."
"And will you buy me a little muff next
winter, with fur all around tho holes whero
you put your hands through r
Tho stout woman's angers adhered to tho
handlo of her fan.
"Be quiet, clear; I can't tell what I shall do
next winter."
"I'd like a nice white wooly hood, too."

"Well, do not think about It now."
"Ma, may I bring the bear skin rug out to

Tho tormented mother moved uneasily In

"Do anything you like, but don't bother
me."
"I guess I'll bring the afghan, too."
There was n short silenco.
"Ma, do you remomber when wo had thnt
lovely grate Are hut fall, I used to lie on this
rug with . the at gbAn over me and warm my
toes by the hourf
The stout woman's feet burnod and began
to ache.
"Will you Stop talking? I will not hear
another word."
A long pauso brought temporary relief to
the suffering mother.
"Ma, a mosquito bit my ear. If I only had
my werided ear muffs that match my blue
plush cloak, they couldn't hurt me then, could
they!"
The 8-yoar-old giggled, but tho stout woman
made no remark.
"Ms, my slippers pinch so; may I put on
my crockctod bedroom shoes I"
"If yon speak fjin you shall pro to bod Im
mediately."
Another short silence.
"Ma, If I go to bed so early must 1 have a
hot water bottle like I did when I had a sore
throat and you put rod flannol around U!"
Tho stout woman's oollar wilted and tbe &-
year-old was sent upstairs.
Over the bannisters there came one more
question:
"Ua, must 1 have my pink cretonne quilt
over me to-night r
Then the stout woman sought tho water
