BOBBY'S CHANCE
He Returned From the Party Bringing
Hie Sheaves With Him.
Little Robert, aged four, presented
his mother with a large sized
shock the other day. It was a case
of sowing a mild little breeze and
reaping a full grown whirlwind.
Robert is Mrs. B.'s first and has
always had a large front seat in her
affections. Even when Mrs. B. attended
parties she remembered
Robert and would slip a bit of canty
into her handkerchief to carry
home to liira.
Not that Robert did not have as
much candy of his own as was good
for him?and more, too?but he
took an awed delight in anything
vhich came from ^ part}'. So his
not her always produced some sourenir
of her modest social dissipaions
with which to satisfy Robert.
A few weeks ago Robert himself
vent to a party, his very first. A
naid brought him home and left
lim, together with a large paper
)ag, in the eager arms of his wel:oming
mother. The first rapture
>f description had scarcely begun
vhen Mrs. B. became conscious of
he bulkv ^ag.
"U'u,.* ir-^o+'a ?"
T?ii?, llV/L/^1 ^ n nut o vino. I
"It's for you. I brought it to you
rom the party."
With some misgiving Mrs. B.
>pened the bag. It contained a
arge orange, nuts, candy, grapes,
akes?in fact, a very respectable
issortment of refreshments suited ,
0 the juvenile-taste.
Robert had supposed it was quite
he usual thing to take little conoling
items to the uninvited mem>ers
of one's family, and he had \
aken a generous delight in securing
1 truly noble collection for his
nother. 1
That lady faced the double prob- (
em of explaining the situation to
tobert's hostess and of presenting t
o Robert a clear reason why what
ras sauce for the goose, so to speak, t
ias a totally different thing for the t
gander. The explanation, which <
immered down, of course, to a
[ue&tion of size or quantity was far
rom being clear to Robert, whc is
ow in his mind and thinks he does
lot care for society at all.?New
fork Sun.
What David Said.
A count ry clergyman kept a
roung servant lad. One Sunday
norning before service he gave him
lis orders about the dinner and
said:
"Go to neighbor David and ask
lim for me to let you have some
sripe on credit, and then prepare
ne a nice plateful/'
The lad did as he was told, and
the clergyman went to conduct the
service. As he stood in the pulpit
ie called out in the middle of his
sermon:
"And on this subject, brethren, <
vhat does David 6ay ?"
At that moment his little valet
stepped into the church, and, in the
belief that his master was addressing
him, he replied:
"Please, sir, he says, 'No money,
no tripe!'"?London Answers.
Vegetable Ivory.
The plant yielding the vegetable
ivory is known to botanists as Phytelephas
macrocarpa. It is a native
of South America, found chiefly
along the Magdalena river, in Colombia.
It is a stemless, palmlike
plant, the top of which is crowned
with from twelve to twenty very
long leaves. The fruit consists of a
conglomerated head in six or seven
sections, the whole being inclosed in
a woody oovering, forming altogether
a globe as large as a man's head.
A single jfent sometimes bean six
or eignt of these'heads, each weighing
from twenty to twenty-nvs
pounds. When young they contain
a milklike fluid, which with age
hardens until it becomes valuable as
a substitute for real ivory. . ^ ^

SAW IT IN A DREAM. blethi

A Lost Check and the Peouliar Way It w 1
Was Found. *"
A wealthy New York lawyer sat up
late one night writing letters he had Call
not been able to finish during the day. stores
It was past midnight when he went out
to mail them, and when he returned ceries
and was undressing he paused In dismay,
missing a check for a large sum q ,,
received during the day and taken
home with him. In vain was the house basket
ransacked at that late hour. He went ply C(
to bed convinced that the lost check
must be in the house. An,hour later
he fell into uneasy slumber and beheld Ren
as with his eyes of the fiesh the pink room j
cheek'curled about an area railing four
or five doors from his own house. ouppl
So real was the dream that the troubled
man woke up, dressed and, slip- gu,
ping down the stairs into the street, gUDD)
walked along the sidewalk to a spot
still seen vividly in his mind, and there,
sure enough, standing edge upward and p .
partly curled about the iron, was the
missing check. ' "I think," he reported
to the Psychical Research society, "my
subconsciousness must have noticed it ? . ,
fall from my pocket as I walked to the
maili boi and my subliminal self pointed
It out to me in sleep."?William O. U* g
Fits-Gerald in New York Tribune.
