The question of the age of his first IHC wagon came up. He thought he had had it about five years. The dealer looked up his old books and found that the wagon was pur chased on the 15th of July, 1905, being now seven years old and practically as good as new. A man may forget when he bought his IHC wagon Weber Columbus New Bettendorf Steel King but he cannot forget the long, faithful service he gets from it.

Witness the mistake made some time ago by a food woman who was a regular attendant at a churct down : on Chestnut street, aays the Louisville , Times. One Sunday morning her pastor preached an Inspiring sermon on the subject of welcoming tbe "Stranger Within Thy Oates." He urged upon his membership the duty of giving ft cordial greeting to strangers who hftp pened in at that cbjrcb. This good woman waa much im preaaed with Ms remarks. As she turned around to leave the ohurch, she discovered an unfamiliar faoe in the pew immediately behind her. With a radiant smile she extended her hand. "I'm glad to aee you out this morn ing." ahe said. "Thank you," replied tbe stranger with a merry twinkle In her eyes. "Do you come often T" sweetly asked tbe good woman. The itranger smiled. "I have been occupying this pew for the past seven years," she said. There was an embarrassed silence, and then the good woman turned and started out. It was noticeable that ?he made no further attempt to greet any stranger that morning. WORLD'S MOST NOTED ECHOES 8oms Reproduoe Sound In Melodious Manner, Others With ? n Cffeot That Is Terrifying. Probably the finest echo which the world knows Is In the cathedral at Pis*, where the Leaning Tower Is. Sing two notes and there Is no re verberation; sing three and they are at once taken tip by the walls of the edtfloev swelled, prolonged and varied, till they aeem as a divine harmony from some majestic organ. There la a cavern In ' Finland In which, If you test your lungs to the top of their capacity, there will an swer you such horrible roarings* moanlnga and mutterlngs that you will be glad to rush out in absolute terror. s . The cutting down of tree* hi a cer tain locality on the Hudson river spoilt a splendid echo. A word shoot ed there was repeated 42 times. Undoubtedly the most extraordinary natural echo In the world is to be heard by the side of a small lake In Bavaria On one hand rises a perpen dicular cliff sevenal thousand feet high, while on the other side Is a dense forest. If \ pistol ia fired on the lake the woods send back a faint echo that gradually dies away, but presently it is heard from the cliff, continually increasing In power, till it bursts over one's head like a deafen inff peal of thunder. fRapa" and "Mamma." The use of "papa" in this country il lustrates the flow and ebb of fashion in words, as in costumes, -pretty clearly. , . All authorities agree that "papa" and "mamma" arrived here from France in the seventh centuwg, says the Iyondou Chronicle. At first they were court ly expressions, and were used by "per sons- of fashion," adults as well as children, lij the eighteenth century. But with the nineteenth the middle classes took them up, originally re garding them as genteel; in our own time one of the faults of th? hero of "E dunno w'ere e' are," after coming into "a little bit o' splosh," was that he " 'ad the cheek and lmpidence to call 'is mother 'is ma." The usual re sult followed. Everybody's worde adopted as genteel because vulgar, and now "papa" and "mamma" are dying out, even among children. Drew the Crowd. It was the ambition of the proprietor of the moving picture show to get a record house that week. The first two nights he failed to get it. On ' the third night his unparalleled attrac tions were advertised thus through a megaphone at the hall door: ; "Ladles and gentlemen: Every pic ture 'I shall show you tonight has cost the life of a film actor. In the .bridge wrecking scene two men were drowned, in the railroad collision one. man was crushed to death, and the Jungle scene three men were fearfully mangled by wild beasts. "Reprehensible tactics to mention those harrowing details," said the pro prietors of other shows; nevertheless they achieved the manager's purpose, for the next day the house was pack ed at every performance. Texas. ' The area of Europe is about 3,700, 000 square miles, while that of Texas is 265,000 square miles. But the Lone' Star State is not to be "sneezed" at as an empire. It Is bigger^ than Prance, bigger than the whole Ger man Empire, bigger than Austro-Hun gary, bigger twioe over than the United Kingdom. It Is rich in nat ural resources, and if settled as thick ly as little Belgium it would bar* a population of 265,000,000, or nearly three times the present population of mm the entire United States. pW' ? - jij Valiant 6oldlsr.

"Why don't you go on out to tba golf club, then?" inquired Mm. Dai back. - "Ob, no? I don't wflD to do tljatt" "Why not?" "Do you waut me to go?" inquired Dalbeck, in accent* of <\eep reproacb. "Wbeo Sunday is the only day of the week that I can apend with my family,' it is pretty bard llnea to And you try ing to get rid of me!" "Now, James!" aaid Mrs- Dalbeck, protestlngly. "The Idea- that you ahould think auch a thing for a minute! You know I'd rather have you at home than anywhere else on earth!" "Then of courae I won't go," Dalbeck ?aid with a skillfully revealed algb. "Not if you don't want me to. I ba lieve It's a man's duty to do as his wife wants, even at the cost of his personal Inclinations, and of course I'd rather stay at home with you*?' " "Why, It would spoil my whole day!" Interrupted Mrs. Dalbeck, "If you gave up a beautiful time in the country just bacause you thought I was selfish eaough to make you stay at home! I want you to go!" "Henrietta," Mid Dalbeck, "do you suppose for one instant that you can deoelve me? I know perfectly well thai you are holding your disappoint* peat at the idea of a lonely day and are urging me to go merely out of the uBMllabneae of your nature. I'm not going to take advantage of It. Any how, I really don't care about playing golf today. I hadn't even thought of It until you spoke, and you Bee I didn't jump at the Idea then. I'd lota rather stay at home." "Nonsense," aald Mrs. Dalbeck. "If ?you stayed at home this beautiful day my conscience would reproach me, James. We may not hasre any more alee Sundays thla fall, and it will do you good to get outdoors. I am per fectly willing for you to go, because I know you need the exercise. A man of your age doesn't exercise nearly enough, and ? ** "Oh, so you are dissatisfied with my figure, ore you?" inquired her husband in tones of deepest reproach. "I know rm not an Apollo, but I didn't think ? " "James!" cried Mrs. Dalbeck. "You are perfectly stupid. I was just trying to make excuses for you to go ? " "Aha!" said her husband. "Your words plainly show that you honestly don't feel that I should go! Your real opinion Is that a man is a dub who doesn't pass Sunday with hie family, and I agree with you. Where should we find more happiness and pleasure than by the family -hearthstone, any how. I'd lots rather ? " "I know you would," said his wife, "but you must consider your health, James. It is your duty to do so. PleaBe oblige me by doing as I ask and go ing out to the club!" "I haven't the least desire to go," protested Dalbeck. "Somehow I don't feel up to it. It may rain, anyhow ? " ? "The sun never shone brighter," In terrupted Mrs. Dalbeck. "Please, James!" Dalbeqk looked harassed and then resigned. "I don't see why you make such a fuss about it," he mourned. "And there isn't time to catch the golf special now, anyhow, if I did want to go!" "Yes there is," insisted his wife. "Hare are all your clothes ready to Jump into, and I'll bring you up some coffee while you are dressing. That clock is five minutes fast, and if you hurry ? here are your shoes and ? " "'You don't give a fellow time to think," Dalbeck grumbled. "You are rushing me off at such a rate that I don't get a chance to say a word. It doesn't seem to make any difference to you whether I want to go or not, Just so you get your own way. I ? " "Here's your cap," said Mrs. Dal beck, as she opened the inside door, "and if you hurry you can just make the train!" She watched Dalbeck leap and van ish around the corner, and then she smiled to herself. "I suppose he has to go through all that formula every time to ease his conscience," she said. "Hello," Dalbeck was saying on the station platform to three other men In golf attire. "I came near missing the train this morning, I tell you ? I got so Interested making my objections to going as artistic as possible. But they worked beautifully."' Very Convenient. An enterprising builder was one day In conversation with several friends, when he was accused of using inferior materials in the construction of houses which he had recently built. A hot argument ensued, in the' midst of which a gentleman arrived who lived in one of the Jerry-built cottages, and the matter was referred to him. "Weel, sirs," said he, "I tan assure ye they are the malst' convenient booses I ever abode In." "But," said one of the listeners, '{why convenient dae ye say?" "Oh, baud yer wbeest till I explain. When flrstj cam to bids In itr.
