Bunting Thoroughly Tested
in very truth a modem battkaMj

and stand the weight test of seventy
pounds to two square Inches. It la
steeped in salt water for six hoars

Crow "Helped" in Qolf Oama
An unusual golf story comes from
Scotland. Mrs. Barnett, an American
lady tiring at North Berwick, while
playing on the oourse reoently, had
her game considerably Interfered with
by a persistently Inquisitive crow. She
had Just made a tee shot when the
crow seoured the ball, and, after flying
with it for some distance, dropped It.
The lady made two other shots, and
the crow, to her amazement, twice re
turned and lifted the ball after she
had played It
One Word She Could Say.
An earnest Loni un slum worker re
cords her unremitting, patient en
deavors to Improve the accent and
vowel enunciation of her little
protege. Blanche, for the sake of the
child's future destiny "on the styge."
Once, falling in all else, she tried a
mild doee of gentle ridicule. "You
can’t say ‘food,’ can you, Blanche T”
she smiled, teaslngly. "I can say
■fula!”’ was the child’s crushing re
tort.
Calling Down the Nurse.
Little Prank’s nurse, when finding
him in mischief was in the habit of
exclaiming: “What in the ammo of
common sense are you doing?* One
morning, while she was bathing him,
he asked: "What in the name ef toy
per cents do you mean by getting soap
la my eyes?"

Much Uke gareaam.
The conceited visitor had talked a
long time, and small Janie was duly
Impressed with the breadth end varie
ty of his knowledge. At last the
talker made the sententious ptatement
that one-half the world does not know
how the other half lives. "Why don’t
you teach them?” wae the lnnopent
question that made the visitor blush
and his other listeners struggle with
scarcely suppressed chuckles.
