Cool and Correct.
Professor Robert Herrick, of the
University of Chicago, dosired to
point out to a young sonneteer the
difference between the words "aston
ish" and "surprise."
"Noah Webster," Professor Herrick
said, "was once caught by his wife In
the act of pressing the hand of the
pretty cook.
"The cook, blushing like a rose, fled
at once to her kitchen. Mrs. Webster
said In a sad, tremulous voice:
" 'Why, Noah, I am surprised.'
"But the philologist looked from
over his glasses at his wife and an
swered reprovingly:
'"Madam, you have not studied our
glorious language aa you should. It's
I who am surprised. You are aston
Ished.' "
Not Caught Up.
A man who was traveling the Ozark
mountains on horseback Btopped he
fore a typical Arkansas farmhouse to
Inquire the way. "What's the news?"
asked the mountaineer, as be leaned
his lank frame against the fence and
pulled his long beard thoughtfully.
On finding that what had become a
part of history was news to him, the
traveler asked why be did not take
some weekly or monthly periodical,
that he might keep In touch with the
world at large.
"Wal," said the old native, '"when
my pa died, nine years ago, be left
me a stack of newspapers that high"
Indicating a height of about three feet
"and I ain't done readln' of 'em yet."
Soft Landing. -It
was In 1920 and tramps were
riding on the bumpers of airships.
"Boss," said the dusty pilgrim of
the clouds, "of yer must t'row me off,
would yer mind doing me one fswor?"
"And wbat is that?" asked' the
aerial brakeman, gruffly.
"Why, drop me down on top of dat
farmhouse shed where all dem rows of
apple pies are cooling."
A Fatal Squint.
A woman with a fatal squint came
to a fashionable portrait painter.

him, and both were embarrassed,

"Now, Johnny' asked the gentle
man, who has kindly consented to
teach tie class, "what does this fas
cluatlag story of Jonah and the whale

"It teaches us," said Johnny, "that

Gossip's Surprise.
"I heard somebody say something
about Bell Smith yesterday."
"Oh, fine! What?"
"Nothing bad enough to repeat

Derivation of Money.
The word "niouey" is derived from
"mor.eta," a came given by the Ro
mans to their silver pieces, because
coined In a building on tile t'apltollne
11111 attached to the temple of Jupiter
tloneta. The officer in charge of the
ntint were called triumviri mouteales,
and Nlebuhr thinks that they were In
troduced at the time when the Romans

Temptations of Evil.
Leisure misused, an Idle hour watt
ing to be employed. Idle hands with no
occupation, Idle and empty minds with
nothing to tblnk of these are the
main temptations of evil. Fill up that
empty void, employ those vacant
hours, occupy those listless hands, and
evil will depart because it baa n

ACCOMMODATING NIOHT CLIKK.
TJp to the night clerk's desk goes
Abe Perlmutter, a Chicago traveling
man. "I wonder," he Bays, "could you
find me somebody to play a game of
penuchle for an hour or two to-nlg'n? '
"Why." says the clerk, "I guess so.

The plaintiff hud been Btriick by sn

without Btopping. but as he managed
to catch the number of the car he had
the owner summoned to court. The
defendant claimed that his car had
not been out of the garage on the day
In question.
"If you were struck and thrown up
the air, as yon claim, how could
you make out the number before the
car got out of sight ?" he ssked.
I caught a glimpse of It Just as I
came down," answered the plaintiff.
Ha. ha!" laughed the defendant,
turning to the Judge. "I see how the
mistake was made. The number of
my car Is 668. This man was stand

Asking Too f'i'Ch.
The mother of little six-year-old
Mary had told her a number of times
nut to hitch her sled to passing
sleighs, feeling that It was a danger
ous practice. It was s'ich a fascinating
sport, however, that Mary could not
resist It, find one day her' mother saw
her go BkimiTi'.ng pav,t the house be

When she came in from play she
was taken to tnst:, hrr trother say

Besides, you know It Is against the

Mary tossed her head. "Oh," she

And now. Alice, which would you
rather be, beautiful or good?"
"Well," replied Alice, after a mo

be beautiful and repent."
WHY, CERTAINLY NOT.
"What's the next train to Squee

"Un't there one before that?"
"No; we never run one before the

There was one pleasure left In life.
Fluffy could dream of those happy
days as she sat with half-closed eye4
and delicately washed her face and
combed her fur. It used to be such fun
to do this, more like play than a duty
but now Fluffy had to pause every few
minutes to rest.
That was partly becaute of the lit
tle silver collar of which Fluffy was
onre so proud. On It waa engraved
"To Fluffy from Alice." Alice was
Fji ffy's mistress. It seemed such
long time since everyone had been
running around, putting things In
botes and trunks, and then Flui.y had
been put out of doors and everyone
had gone away.
It must be a mistake somehow. Per
haps Fluffy was only dreaming, and
soon she would wake and find herself
In Mistress Alice's lap. But Just then
Fluffy did wake, and she was on the
damp ground. There were some aw
(ill rumbles and crashes over her
head, and In an agony of fear Fluffy
d.ished out through the little bole and
re awy. It was a blight day out
side, and some men In a team wore
putting big blnck rocks lnlo a long
thing, down which they rumbled and
clattered into the basement of th
house.
Fluffy didn't stop to watch. With
her tall standing up straight and every
bit of the soft fluffy fur for which she
was named, ruffled, she raceii down
the walk to the avenue. Not until she
wa In the middle of the avmuo Itsel
d'd Fluffy pause, and then It was the
hoarse bark of an automobile horn
that made her crouch down, too pura
lrd by fear to move.
The brakes ground onto the axles,
but It was too late: at last Fluffy ha J
found peice.
In another moment the only occu
pant f the heavy touring car, a clean
cut, level-eyed young man, had sprung
out and ran back to the pitiful little
huddle la the roadway.
"Poor little pussy," he said, and
then when he saw the soft fur anl

Then he gave an exclamation of
surprise as he noticed the little sliver
collar. In another instant the man
In the roadway had caught up the
broken, pitifully thin little body and
read. "To Fluffy from Alice."
"Fluffy! Alice!" he gasped. "Alice
like that!"
Then his face hardened. "Well, I'm
glad I knew In time," he said and with
a sudden impulse tenderly laid the lit

tonneau and covered It gently with

PREPARED.,
Witness Was Forehanded and th
Lawyer Accepted Defeat. I
' The propensity of some lawyer to
ask witnesses questions not only Irre
levant but bordering on the absurd
must have been known to a humorous
fellow called as a witness In a Buffalo
court recently. His testimony had
been clear and direct the entire case
was simple. In tact but the lawyer do
ing the cross-examination began an
apparently endless string of ques-1
tlons.
"Now, exactly how far were you
from the post to which the horse waa
hitched remember, you are on your
oath!"
"Nineteen feet, seven and three-
quarter Inches," the witness respond
ed promptly.
You seem very sure of the exact
distance." tho lawyer sneered. "How
do you know yo-i wore Just that dis
tance from tho r-o-t?"
Well," the witnn.-.s replied In a
good-natured tone, "knowing that I'd
be called as a witness In this case, and
thinking it likely some fool lawyer
would ask me Just that question, I
measured It"
