Any actuary could tell us what

"We expect, of course, that we

prove we can count the years still

Turning Off the Gas.
At a fraternal banquet in Washington
one of the speakers, getting ;
back at the toastmaster, a clergy- ;
man, for some of his witticisms, told 1
the following:
At a church service conducted by
the toastmaster a lady in the congregation
suddenly remembered that
she had left her dinner, a roast, in
the stove at home and had forgotten
to turn down the gas. In her
anxiety about her Sunday dinner
she hastily wrote a note and handed
it to her husband, a deacon, then j
engaged in taking up the collection. '
Mistaking the personal note for a ;
church notice, the deacon carried it 1
up and handed it to the minister, j
who, among other notices, read:
"Go immediately home and turn
eff the gas."
When the laughter had subsided j
a member of the banqueting party 1
arose and said: "I would like to
suggest that the lady got her note !
wi ug ? : .1 foremost. Sending it up ;
to the minister, she probably meant !
to say, 'Turn off the gas immedi- !
ately and go home.'"?Pittsburg !

Rooting House Plant Leaves.
Perhaps io the amateur the most :
interesting way of propagating j
plants is that of rooting leaves.
There arc quite a number of plants
with which this is possible. Echeveria,
Rex begonia and gloxinia are
among the common plants propagated
by this means. To root >'
echeveria the leaf is carefully J
broken from the stem and inserted I
in the sand. It takes about four
weeks for it to start into growth,
when a small bud will be produced i
at the base of the leaf. Sometimes
this bud does not start, but still the
?PI grow. I know of one leaf
which has been growing in a pot for
four years and still has not made a
bud.?Suburban Life.
Making an Egg.
"Grandpa, does hens make their
own eggs?"
"Tes, indeed they do, Jolinny."
' 'An' do th ty always put the yolk
iD the middle?"
"They do, Johnny."
"An' do they put the white stuff
around to kctp the yeller Loin rubbin'
off?"
"Quite likely, my little boy." '
"An' T*ho sews the cover on ?"
This stumped the old gentleman,
.and lie barricaded Johnny's mouth i

TOMMY WAS A MAN.
A True Story ci S~ir Control R.latcd
by a Chicago Merchant.
The following "really true" incident
is tend about a littio lei low
still in the Knickerbocker stage, who
works for a large Chicago paper
house. One day lie was called to
the telephone and after listening
a minute turned pale and hung up
: the receiver quietly and hurried to
the manager's otlicc. The manager,
however, had gone out to lunch, so
the boy left a note reading, "1 liav
to go beam. Tognuy Barret." The
manager found the note when he
! returned, but soon became busy
: with important matters and forgot
all about the boy.
Three days later, Monday morn
ing, Tommy Barret came bacK to
work. To the other boys' queries
of "Ben sick, Tommy?" he maintained
a rierid silence. lie worked
as hard as usual, and finally the
boys ceased to question him regardj
ing his absence. Neither did they
insist again after his second refusal
to accompany them at noon
j for the usual live cent lunch of cofi
fee and bismarcks, having come to
the conclusion, as they expressed it.
that ''Tommy had a grouch."
One day the manager was called
at noon to inspect a certain grade
of paper in the storeroom on the
top floor. As he and his foreman
wended their way through the huge
rolls of paper they heard the sound
of low sobs. Silently they peered
down the long aisles of paper rolls,
and finally in the corner of one
narrow one they saw the pathetic
figure of a little boy. The aisle being
too tubelike for the portly form
of the manager, he bade the boy
come out.
It was Tommy Barret, his face
flaming with embarrassment, his
cheeks tear stained and dirty from
contact with the grimy little hands.
"Why, Tommy, what is it?fight
with one of the boys?" questioned
the manager.
"So, sir," faltered Tommy, now
living manfully to raise his voice
above the threatening sobs.
t(T UV man
? lieu nuai was ivi x u v uiwu
ager laid his hand on the boy's
head reassuringly. Tommy bit his
lip for composure, then, dry eyed,
answered firmly, "My mudder died
last week."
The manager turned away as the
chain of memory wafted him back
to his own similar loss years ago,
when it took the united efforts of a
host of relatives and the entire
community of a sympathizing small
country town to comfort him with
chocolate drops, "little pies" and
miniature express wagons. And
here, he thought, was this little
chap working in silence and controlling
the misery of his heart until
he could steal away at noontime
and sob it all out alone among the
paper rolls.
"Have you come up here before
to cry?" the manager inquired
when lie felt sure of his own voice.
"Yes, sir," Tommy answered tim
idly, adding apprehensively, "but
don't fire me, sir?I won't do it
again."
"Fire you!" the manager ejaculated.
"Well, I guess not. A boy
not as high as a yardstick, and
with a man's self control." Tommy
looked up thankfully at this assurance.
"Now run and wash vour face,"
J '
the manager continued kindly.
"You're going to lunch with me at
2 o'clock."
An hour ftter Tommy, with face
glossy from recent battle with
pumice stone soap, was partaking
of a substantial lunch with his employer,
who waxed cheerful, confidential,
even chummy, to put the
boy at his ease. As they finished
the dessert he nominated and elected
Tommv "boss" of the twenty
four boys at the envelope table, but
not the slightest reference was
made to the boy's bereavement, for
the manager understood the fineness
of Tommy's feelings and respected
them.?Chicago Tribune.
Death For Kissing.
In ancient Egypt it was considered
a high degree of politeness to
kiss one's hand and then place it on
the top of the head.
Men of rank occasionally kissed
each other, but in the land of the
pharaohs no man ever dreamed of
kissing a woman.
In Rome kissing was at one time
a serious matter. If a slave kissed

It was the great Cato who promulgated
a law making it a punishable
offense for parents to kiss in
the presence of their children.

street.
