"I was born and brought up in - this neighborhood," he said, '"and- when I was a boy I used to t.hink what a fine thing it would be to have a house on this hill. It is the highest point of grond, you will notice, within a circuit of several miles. and the view from' here is extensive." "It is mnagnificent!'' exclaimed the visitor. "Yes. and when the time came that I coule afford it I gratified my boyish ambition by buying the land round here and putting ' up this house." "I ha,ve been in a great many places and I have never seen a finer landscape than this." "That's what I used to think, bhut I don't like it now as wel-l as I did when I was a boy." "What mak>s the difference?" "It isn't complete." "Not complete? Why you own the landscape, don't you?" " That's the trouble. I own all of it but that 80-aere pateh over there beyond the creek. about six miles away. The old curmudgeon .that owns it won 't sell it to me at any fig ure.'' An Mr. Treeu- sig.hedt dismally. RROEIVED WALKING PAPERS. An Appeal to Magistrate Chappell Which Touched Him and He Acted Promptly. Magistrate Chappell, a few days ago received a communication which was not signed, and while it is ao. his ha,bit to pay attention to anon Vm,1uS comhm:mications this one ap pealed to him so strongly that he thought it worth while to investigate and he did and found the facts as stated by this correspondent. He acted immediately and in twenty minutes after the letter was receiv ed he was at the place and the board ers referred to had received walking orders and were departing. He in formed the proprietor, a colored wo man who lived just outs'de the city, if the matter was called to his at tention again he would have her in the toils. of the law. The letter was addressed to Mag strate Chappell and Constable C. G. Blease. The writer apologized for writing a letter without signing it but said she was a woman and did not want to get before the public, but that she was a mother and had a boy she loved and she thought this boarding house kept by this colored woman was a menace to the young manhood of the community. The house is outside of town and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the city authorities and She there fore appealed to these two officials. The letter continues: "I wrote a letter to the sheriff just like this one a few days ago, and he has paid no attention to it, and I now write you because I heard Mr. G. B. Cro mer say on one occasion: that while John Henry Chappell is often led by prejudices you can always depend upon him to do his duty.'" Magistrate -Chappell and Consta ble Blease Y:-e. the matter their prompt attention. In Scrapitoria. Lippin-cott's. Surrounded by an admiring cir cle of reporters and sporting men, the two noted pugilists were com pleting the - arrangements for their decisive contest. "There's o,e more detail," said one of the prospective contestants. "When is the fight to take place?" The other pondered a mo.ment. "How would the year 1924 do?" he asked finally. "No,'.? replied his future antago -nist with' a frown. " That's too far off-the public wouldn't -staind for it. Better make it 1919." "All right," was the answer. "We can easily postpone it, I sup pose, if we care to.'' "0f course," responded the other carelessly. Then the meeting broke up, and the reporters hurried away, so that the "extras" might be gotten out promptly. When Wellington Was Harmless. At the death of the Duke of Wel lington the whole diplomatic corps was invited to the funeral at St. Paul's. The French ambassador, on receiving his invitation, was very 1much upset. He hurried off to his colleague of Russia, Baron Brunnow, and confided to him the difficulty in which he was placed. " The Queen," he said, "fexpects us to.go to St. Paul's to .the funeral of tVbe Duke of .Wefligton. How can I go, considering the injuries whieh the duke inflicted on my coun try?i What shall i do?" Baron Brunnaw listened gravely to his colleague's 'exposition and then replied: "As the duke is ~dead," he said, "I think you can safely go to the funeral. If you werg asked to attend his resurrec tion I should say refuse the invita t.ion."'-Londoni Times. How the German Blinded Him. J. Camp~bell White, secretary of the laynien 's mission movement, d&uring his work for missions has had some queer experiences, but one he liad in a mining camp in Montana some years ago g'ives him much amusement when he reverts to the .ire was a German immigrant in t he camp who had received a letter from home. He was illiterate and no~ one in the camp understood enough German to read the letter to him. He was, of course, overjoyed to learn that Mr. White could read German. As the missionary began the man from the banks of the Rhine clapped his hands over Mr. White's ears. "What are you trying to do?" exclaimed Mr. White, after he had bean able to free his ears from the fellow's palms. "Dot letter vas from mine girl.
