NOTHING FOR NOTHING f

4(T WAH feeling bad this afternoon. I
A and Mrs. Pollywog heard about f
it and brought me over some chicken i
? . .. . ... i
worn," announced me lanaiaay. i j
thought it was very kind of her. Such i
considerate actions convince us t??at |
human nature is j
never in real lif^ j ^
Mra Pollywog will be over tomorrow
to borrow your fountain pen or your|
tortolseshell comb, or perhaps she will | y
come visiting for a few days, ana we ,
ost of entertaining her would buy several
barrels of chicken broth.
"I hate to have anybody do me a
kindness, knowing I'll be expected to
return the favor with Interest in one
way or another. When I was a mere
boy my eyes were opened to the fact
that kind actions are a delusion and a
snare. Next door to us there lived an
old dame named Mrs. Crimp. . One day
he came over to our house with a
pair of woolen socks she had knitted I
for me. I Suppose an equally good
pair could have been bought at the
trade palace for fifteen cents, and I
wasn't overwhelmed with Joy. My
mother, who, with all her Splendid
qualities, was an easy mark, and inMined
to find good in everything and
everybody, was enthusiastic over Mrs.
Crimp's generosity.
"But even in my infant years I was
gifted with the wisdom of the serpent,,
and I felt from the first that there was
some malevolent scheme in the back-1
ground.
"The scheme was soon developed, j
Mrs. Crimp had many chores to do.!
and she hated to do them herself.
There was wood to be carried Into the
house, and the cow to be taken care j
* of, and a hundred other unprofitable
tasks. Every time I'd meet her she'd j.
say, "Well, my sweet little boy, with 1
your golden ringlets and sunny smile, j ?
how do you like the socks I made youl
If you only knew how I worked, so you
would have the best socks in town! '
And that reminds me of a little errand
I wish you would do for me. Go to 1
llr. Jinks, who lives seven miles north,
and ask him to let you have his 6aw,
MA wan AAN Ati*- ?ATV\A 1'ln/^ltnrr TWO fl

tomorrow."
"First and last, Mrs. Jiggers, I put In
(1,000 worth of maqpal labor for that
woman and my youth was poisoned,
and my manhood embittered by It I
might bave forgiven ever? thing had
the socks been good one.',, but they
were atrocious. The heels always
worked around to my Insteps and the
tops worked down over my shoes.
"It has been that way all my life.
When a man insists upon doing me a j
kindness I look upon him with suspicion.
When I was laid up In my
room with a broken leg two or three
years ago, I had an excellent time.
The leg hurt only at Intervals, and I
had plenty of novels to read, and
nothing to worry over, and I would
have enjoyed myself splendidly but
for tiresome philanthropists who were
determined to sit by my bedside and
cheer me up. I didn't need any cheering
up, and I tried to convince them j
that their visits had the opposite ef- j
feet, but they wouldn't take a hint j
They sat by my couch of suffering and j
told idiotic stories, and bored me almost
to death.
"Jim Higginbottom was an especial
nuisance. That man simply wouldn't;
go away as long as there was an excuse
for staying. He said his con- J
science wouldn't allow him to forsake "
the bedside of a suffering friend. At
that time I carried some accident insurance.
and when my check came Jim _
borrowed half of it and after he got
the money he never worried over my "
leg any more. And he never returned |
any of the money. I don't blame him 1
for that for I make It a rule never to |
^ return borrowed money, but I can't j 1
easily forgive him for boring me so
many hours, when I wanted to be g
reading."
Obeyed Orders.
"How Is It I have such big telegraph
Mils?"
"You told me, sir, to use dispatch in
that correspondence, so I wired all the
letters."
f
All Have Obligations.
Every citizen has obligations in the
community In which he lives. Whether
a man is prominent or not he Is
expected to do his part In helping
bring about normal conditions in this
country.
A Pretty Good Method.
"Why do you encourage your boy to
eend his verses to the magazines? Do
you v;m'c him to be a poet?" "No,
merely want him to get the conceit
knocked out of hlm, that's all."

While most people buy the
Brunswick because of its superior
tone and its ability to play
all records at their best, no one
overlooks the beautiful cabinet
work and finish.
In this particular, it is natural
that the Brunswick should be
supreme, for the House of
Brunswick has been noted for
nearly a century for its craftsmanship
in wood.
Brunswick makes its own cabnets?they
are not bought ooutside.
The Brunswick is built
as a 100 per cent unit. So there
is uniformity. Brunswick controls
the entire process and every
quality.

MATCHMAKING
that Miss Favorite Is com1^1
Ing to spend a few days with
ns. 1 think I'll invite Charles Augustus i
Terwilliger to dinner," said Mrs.
J;imeswurthy. "I have always thought
they were intended for each other, and
they should be
better a c
nounced failure.
Every time you see an old maid you
turn green with envy, and you have
told me a million times that a woman
sacrifices her liberty and independence
the minute she Inveigles a man
to the altar, and vows to love, cherish
and protect him. You have said in my
presence that the spinster is the only
woman who is her own boss.
"It doesn't take the ingenuity of a
Sherlock Holmes to deduce from your
remarks that you consider matrimony
a total loss. Why. then, Mrs. Jamesworthy,
are you forever trying to beguile
your friends into that condition
of misery? Of course, you can't explain
; neither can any woman explain.
Matchmaking just comes natural to
all of you.
"When I am locking for all kinds of
plain and fancy trouble, Til begin
matching up the young men and women
of my acquaintance. But not until!
I am suffering for an invoice of grief. I
I might persuade my friends to Invest |
in a western silver mine, or buy patent
rights in a revolving churn, but you'll
never see Elijah Jamesworthy boosting
matrimony in your indiscriminate
way. If two young people got married ;
through your ring generalship, and i
they found that each had drawn a gold j
brick, they would hate you as long
as they lived, and would always speak
of you as an old busybody with a nose
too long for legitimate purposes, and
they'd make faces at you whenever
you met them on the street.
"Do you -ever think of your responsibility
when you try to boom the orange
blossom market? Does it ever
occur to you, at such times, that you
are rushing in where angels fear to
tread?
"Now, Just consider Sarah Jane Favorite
and Charles Augustus Terwilllger,
who will be railroaded to the
altar if you have your way. I admit

Sarah Is a blonde with a pug nose,
and Charles Augustus Is a brunette
with a nose like a Roman senator.
They afford a pleasing contrast But
appearances count for little, Mrs.
Jaraesworthy, when the real business
of married life begins.
"Sarah has basked In the lap of luxury
all her days, and she has the Idea
that money grows on vines like cucumbers.
I don't suppose she ever
knew what it means to need fifty cents
or a dollar. When she wants anything
she goes to the store and gets It, and
has it charged to her father. If there
Is one word In the dictionary she Isn't
familiar with,' that word Is retrenchment.
"Charles Augustus on the other
hand, had hard sledding all through
his boyhood. As a result of his experience
he has an exaggerated Idea of
the value of a kopeck. He 13 tne sort
of man who will walk eight miles
through a thunderstorm rather than
cough up carfare. Whenever he parts
with a nickel he has to take a bromoseltzer
to steady his nerves. His reverence
for money Increases every day,
and It will keep on increasing as long
as he lives.
"Yet you, Mrs. Jamesworthy, In your
feeble-minded matchmaking enthusiasm,
would use your vote and Influence
to join these two people In the
holy bonds. Just take the advice of
your ewaybacked husband, and let
such people work out their owq destinies,
and everybody concerned will
be happier."

Uncle George Butler of Ellsworth.
Me., now In his eightieth year, hooked
a halibut while fishing off Sisters
Ledge, and casting off his anchor rope,
which he had fastened with a toggle,
he enjoyed a sail about the bay, with
the halibut for power. After a while
the halibut got tired and Uncle George
hanled it in. It weighed 200 pounds. |
