A SALE OF WARTS. Joe Jnveiiile Transaction That Seemed to Confirm m Theory. "This theory," said the traveling man, "that warts will go away when you stop thinking about them may have something iu it, and I am Inclined to have faith in it.l know from actual observation that warts can be transfer red and will give you the case In point. "I was buying a newspaper when I noticed that the hands of the newsboy were covered with warts. His stand was within a block of my house, but I am away so much the little fellow did not know me by name. I said to him: " 'You should get some one to charm tway those warts,' that being the meth od of getting rid of them when I was a boy. " 'They ain't mine now,' he said. 'I Bold them last week to Teddie Stearna, and they'll all goto him.' "Now, Teddie Stearns is my own boy, and I did not like to think of his smooth, chubby hands being disfigured with warts, and we did not live In a wart atmosphere. They belong more exclusively to the barefoot boy with cheek of tan conditions. I had been such myself. When I went home, I called my boy to me and looked with some anxiety at his hands. They were as clean and white as a girl's. " 'What is it, papa?' he asked curi ously. " 'I am looking for warts.' " 'Oh,' and he drew a long, delighted breath, 'there ain't any yet, but they're sure to come, for I bought them from "Carrotty Mike" for a pin. lie say 9 I'm sure to get 'em. Ain't you glad?' "Glad! I could have cried, and I be lieve his mother did cry. But that blamed little cub said he wouldn't be a tenderfoot, and he would have warts. I read the riot act to him and went away for a month's trip, and when I came back he was as proud as Punch. His hands had grown a crop of warts that discounted anything I ever saw in that line. I hunted up 'Carrotty Mike,' and, would you believe it, there wasn't a wart on his hands! He had trans ferred them all to my boy."—Chicago Record-Herald. CULLINGS FROM FICTION.

Sometimes the names given to dif ferent varieties of plants and vegeta bles are confusing, not to say startling. It sounds as if one had indulged in a most .'esthetic meal to say, "I have Just eaten an early rose." Hut when one remembers that Early Rose is the name of a popular variety of potato the ves thetlcism vanishes. Potatoes seem to be especially liable to have names be stowed on them which have a most "unedlble" sound. Two women out on a bicycle tour be came hungry, and there was no Inn in sight, but there was a farmhouse near by, and an old man was pottering about in the adjacent potato patch. To him they appealed for food. He promised to do what he could, saying that, at any rate, lie could assure them of good potatoes, as he had every variety In his garden. The women enjoyed the meal and especially commended the pota toes. "Yes," said the farmer, "you have not done so badly. You have eaten two Schoolmasters, two Blacksmiths, four Kljneys and a couple of White Ele phants." Don't Drink During Wealn. Be careful to limit the amount of wa ter and fluids which you take during meals, since large quantities of these, especially ice water, hinder digestion. S<A more than one glass of water should be taken during each meal. In urder to quench the thirst which is so apt to clamor for water at meals an eminent authority suggests taking a glass of hot water fifteen or thirty min utes before meals.

"Ini'lf Tom'* fuliln" unit the Sonth.* Possibly tiie most general conception of the old life {it the south held by the rest of the county- is that drawn from "I'ncle Tom's Oiflr.n," a work which, whatever its in detail—and there was doubtless much truth—yet by rea son of its omissions and its grouping contained even more untruth as a cor rect picture of a civilization, says Thomas Nelson Page in The Atlantic. As an argument against the evils In herent in slavery it was unanswerable; as a presentation of the life it under took to mirror It was rather a piece of emotional fiction, infused with the spir it of an able and sincere but only par tially informed partisan, than a correct reflection. It served a purpose far be yond the dream and possibly even the Intention of its author. It did much to hasten the overthrow of slavery. It did no less to stain the reputation of the south and obscure what was worthy and line in its life. From that time the people of the south were re garded, outside its own border, much— as, shall we say, China is regarded to day—as one of the effete peoples, as an obstacle In the path of advance and possibly among many as an object of righteous spoil.

"All of a sudden the thing shrank up like a sponge and jumped for the dog. I give you my word, it Jumped fifteen feet If it was an inch. Twice the dog ran under the spider's Jump—fact.
