WTH# Reward On# Woman Got For Not
Procrastinating.
I It wi a sad piece of news that
{ the max brought home from DeWtroit.
L concerned his wife's sister's
P*amiiyHe told it immediately after
As he talked his wife rockeduTand
fro on the sofa and cried
and said, "Oh, dear; oh, dear!"
"Now, mind you," said the man in
conclusion, "not a worn to a living,
soul about my telling you this. I am
not supposed to know it. I only
learned it by accident Margaret
would have a fit if she thought I
even suspected anything. She will |
^ write you all particulars. In fact,
I happen to know that she had written
the letter before I left. You j
^rill probably get it tomorrow morning,
and just as soon as it does come
I want you to answer it. You know
you have a reprehensible habit of
putting off answering letters until
they are six months old. You can't
do that this time. Margaret needs j
sympathy, and you've got to write." ;
And the woman did write. She
i it .a ol. .
wroxe inax very mgnx. one saiu.
Dear Margaret ? Tour letter received
thla morning. I grieve for you. dear sis- j
. ter, from the bottom of my heart. I am
so glad that you have confided In me. j
Believe me. everything la safe with me. ;
Not even to Henry shall I breathe a word j
of what you have told me.
The woman wrote four more,
pages, all in the same strain. When j
she had finished she said: "There!
Henry can't accuse me this time of
procrastination. I have answered
that letter promptly enough to
please even him."
The next morning while the woman
was dressing her eye lighted
upon the letter.
"No doubt I'll hear from Marga-.
ret in the first deliver}*," she
thought. "I'll mail this now and
give it a good start."
She stepped across the hall and
dropped the letter into the mail
chute. Then she began to look for
the promised communication from
Margaret. It did not come in the
first delivery, nor the second, nor
yet the third. In fact, it did not
come until the end of the week, and
then it gave the woman the shock
of her life, for it said:
Tour letter In reply to the note I had
written, but later decided not to send,
just received. I appreciate your sympathy
and your promises of secrecy, especially
your determination not to tell
Henry. It is very sweet and thoughtful of
you to keep the news from even him.
There was more of the letter, but '
the woman did not read it for several
days. She was kept too busy
formulating rules for the regulation
of the future conduct of Henry.?New
York Post. v
The Canny Scot.
In an English railway compartment
two travelers were seated, an
American and a keen eyed old p
Scbtchman. r
When the guard came to take up ^

difficulty in locating his. He kept
the official waiting so long while he
rummaged through his many pockets
that the ticket taker went on his
way, saying he would come back to 1
find out the result of the search. S
When the guard had gone the |\
American saw the lost piece of
pasteboard protruding from the old f
fellow's mouth and promptly noti- A
fied its ow?jer, thinking it was a case *
of absentmindedness.
Whereupon the wily Scot rejoin {
ed:
"Don't you think 1 know it? But ''
the ticket's* a month old, and I'm
a-auckin' off the date." t
v
Animated Telegraph.
Shortly after the introduction of 1
the electric telegraph into Scotland
a west highlander who had been to
Glasgow and was consequently supposed
to have got to the bottom of 1
all mysteries was asked to explain *
it '^Weel," said he, "it's no easy
to explain what you will no be understandin'.
But I'll tell ye what it's %
like. If you could stretch my collie
dog frae Oban to Tobermory an' if
you wass to clap its head in Oban a
an' it waggit its tail in Tobermory
or if I wass to tread on its tail in
Tobermory an' it squaked in Oban?
that's what the telegraph is like."
True Love.
"Are you sure you love him?"
"Am 1 sure? Do you see this
dress?"
"Of course I do! What of it?"
"Will you kindly tell me if it 4
bears the slightest resemblance to
the presem fashion?"
"Well, really it?er?it"? "It
doesn't?" ^
"No." J
"Well, I'm wearing it because he ;
likes it."?Paris Journal.
Papa's Warning.
Daughter ? This piano is really | my
very own, isn't it, papa?
Tather?Yes, my dear. J
"And when I marry I can take it

"Certainly, my child! But don't

"America."
The air "America/' as is well
known, is that of England's national
anthem, "God Save the King." '
J As such it has been in use since the
"middle of the last century. In 1832
Dr. S. F. Smith came upon it in a ^
book of German music and on the j
spur of the moment wrote the words
we sing to the hymn "America." j
t This was at Andover, Mass. It will .
be interesting for you boys and
girls to know that it was sung for
the first time publicly at a children's *
celebration at Park Street church, ^
Boston, on the Fourth of July in
tiutyear.^
