Grandma F«1 Anxlou*.
"I'm really afraid that Mnry has yield
ed to the very enticing sin of exaggera
tion,' said a dear old grandmother as she
wiped h. r glasses preparatory to reading
the letter more carefully. "I know that
she is ppirmd, pretty nnd full of life, but
she's always lx«n truthful. I'll say noth
ing to her about it till I have talked with

wheatflelds are as big as Ijike Michigan;
that the thrashing machines look liko
steamboats, and that the horseless plows
ru'h along like motor cars. It Is certainly
wonderful beyond belief."
"But don't you see, grandma," broke
In one of her listeners, "Mary is just

just a satire on the boastful claims made
for thut country ont there. You know

"No, Mary has either seen these things
or heard them upon good authority. We
must not misjudge her, but here Is the
most remarkable thing yet—she says that
a larg. waU rinelon burst just before they
reached there and washed away quite a
stretch of mi I road track. Dear, dear!

HIS NAME NOT ON THE LIST.
80, by Customs Law, This Steamship Fas- ,
senger Was Not a Fassenger.
A passenger on one of the transatlantic
■teamers that arrived here recently
stepped into the line of people who
were making their declarations before
the customs officer and told liis name.
"Can't take your declaration," the
officer said after examining the passen
ger list. "I don't see your name there. "
"But I got my ticket on Friday
night," tho passenger responded, "and
the time was too short to have allowed
of my name being put cn the list."
"That makes no difference," an
swered th'j inspector. "Unless yoor
name is on the list you are not a pas
senger, and I cannot take your declara
tion. Nobody not on the list can be re
garded as a passenger."
The New Yorker said a few things,
thought a good many more and dropped
out of the line. Then he went in search
of the captain. The captain came up
and wrote the passenger's name on the
inspector's list and the declaration WHS
dnly taken. After this formality had
been finished the passenger asked the
inspector his reason for refusing to take
bis declaration in the first place. To
this question lie adu-d tho remark that
on a number cf trips to Europe be had
left at such short notice that his name
had not got on the passenger list, but
he had never had any such experience
with the English inspector.
"I don't know anything about that,"
tho official replied, "but the rule in
the United States is that unless a man's
name is on the passenger list he is not
officially regarded as a passenger and
we cannot recognize him as such until !
his name appears there. You were all |
right as socn as the captain wrote your
name, but until then you had no stand
ing as a passenger."—New York Sun.
Worth Saving.
The people "f B"1KIUUI evidently bo
lieve in training tlitir children in hab
its of economy. Possibly no better
method of convincing the young folks
of the wisdom of looking after small
things could havo been found than that
resorted to in the public schools of
Brussels. The Outlook gives the result
of the experiment:
Some time ago the children were re !
quested by their teachers to gather up
all the waste and apparently useless ar
ticles that they could find on their way
to and from school and to deliver them i
to their respective teachers.
For eight months the work of collec
tion went on. Such objects as tin foil,
tin cans, paint tulies, bottle capsules
and refuse metal were especially looked
after. The result was astonishing.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-five
pounds of tin foil rewarded the chil
dren's efforts, together with 1,200
pounds 'if metal scraps, 4,400 pounds of
bottle capsules and old paint tubes that
in the aggregate weighed 230 pounds.
But it was when the articles wero I
disposed of and the money nntdiod to ;
useful objects that the full force of this j
economy was manifest. The proceeds ,
completely clothed GOO poor children j
and sent 00 invalid children to re ;
cuperation colonies, and there was a
goodly balant H 1- ft to Ins distributed '
among tho si< k poor of the city
Duty.
It is. n dnly we owe to ourselves, as'
well as those who tire- dependent upon j
us, to preserve our health and itrengtb. .

I have never had a days sickness in
my life" said a middle aged man the
ot her day.
"What a comfort it would be," sighs
some (ssir invalid, "to be in his place
for a year or two." Yet half of the in
vilads we see might lie just as healthy
as he, if they would only take good and
proper care of themselves, eat proper
fooo and digest it
It's so strange that such simple things
are oyerl'Siked by those who want
health

wards oif sickness. The man who had
never been sick was strong because he

gestive Cordial will help yo.ir stomach
and will make you strong and healthy
by milking the food you eat make you
fat

you are they call you egotistical, and
as for saying anything against myself,
lill be hanged if I will. Would you'.'
