I Probably tho reason why conceited t people do not have great results to show Is because they have to put In so much time boasting that they do not have any time for execution. There Is so much human nature about n liar that one Is apt to feel like dealing very gently wltli him. It Is hard on a cynic who lives at.a hoarding house when strawberries ore cheap. Curious, but when a mau gets old he chuckles over his youthful depravity, hut appears to think that of the present generation abominable. When a man begins to ride his hobby Ills listeners are apt to take a walk. The wise young man of today does not wait for opportunity to kuock at , his door, hut lie rings her up and makes a date with her by telephone. Think twice before calling any man a liar?lie may have more thau oue way of getting back at you. If wo could admire weeds with the 1 forvor that wo do flowers, this world would be paradise now.

We fold our little books away Anil gel our playthings ready To make the summer good and gay And keep her whooping steady. The swimming hole Is deep and cool, Down where the waters shimmer. Where little fishes go to school Unmindful of the swimmer. The playground in the vacant lot Is ready for an Inning. And in some cool and shady spot The merry top needs spinning. The woods a wireless message send, A pressing Invitation, Now that the school is at an end And comes the dear vacation. Vacation, fellers! Thnt's the stuff! Say. isn't she a hummer?

President, ; S ' ' It At the Court of Rex By FANNIE HEASLIP LEA Copyright, 1905, ~hy FVinnU ITratltp Lsa O O "I am lost!" said tbc pretty makleu with a quaintly tragic air. She stood back against the window of a big department store on Canal street and seauned the surging crowd before her. It was Mardi (i^ua day In New Orleans, and the nrntli- timLInu bad been lu town only throe hours, two of which lxnd boon spent In n hotel. "I have lost my mother," sho said it gain ax if to impress the fact upon herself?"nnd my father"?thou she added as an afterthought, "and my purse." In the street the people crowded each other for more room, and there was a constant stream of maskers, gay dominoed fellows with tinkling bells and snapping whips, and the pretty maiden watched them from the entrauce to tho department store, and her ideas quite lost their balance and toppled over Into tho mad whirl of carnival. "I'm glad I'm lost," she said to herself; "they'll know I was separated from them by the crowd and they'll bo fearfully worried, but after awhile they'll And me, and meantime I feel as If something were going to bnppcu?a wild adventure perhaps. Oh, I love carnival. I'm glad I came." A drum throbbed subtly In the distance, the crowd surged to tho edge of the banquette, then surged back again with easy laughter, for no parade apl>enrod. "Ah," snhl some one at the pretty maiden's elbow. "I beg your pardon, but I thought I was never going to find you. The crowd Is so thick." Tho pretty maiden stared. A young man, clean shaven and eminently presentable, was regarding her, hat In hand. i m mrni.i you iion t remember ine," bo suggested, u trifle crestfallen. "Isn't (his Miss Preston?" ; The pretty maiden's eyes widened. To herself she cried, "The adventure!" but aloud she said quite coolly: "I'm nfrnld the advantage Is yours." "I'm sorry," he answered stiffly. [ "But please don't think me nu impertinent stranger. My cousin wroto me to meet you here, you and your sister. She asked ine to show you around for the parade. I?my name is ltobert Rani dolpli," he finished awkwardly. The pretty maiden hesitated a bare moment, but the carnival spirit was strong within her, and the trick that in 1 her natural environment would hare 1 l>een Impossible unfolded itself like ' magic in this atmosphere. The moment was a bnre one?then? "Oh," she said, with the friendliest ! smile Imaginable, "you are Bobby Randolph?" i "Of course,' he agreed cheerfully. ; "It's been a great while since we saw each other, but still"? "So it has," said the pretty maiden ' cunningly. "Let me see, Just how long exactly?" "Just ten years," said Mr. Randolph; , "ten years, three months, seven days, two hours and, I think, twenty-seven minutes." near me,-- sne murmured breath' lOfifilj*. 1 "And, by the way, Where's your sister? Didn't she come?" "My sister? said the pretty maiden, , quite astonished. "My sister? Oh?er ; ?3*es, of eourse she came. But she ; had a fearful hendaelie, and she decided to stay at the hotel, and I hate to inlss the parade, you see," | "Of course. Too bad she won't see It," said Mr. Randolph regretfully. "The trip was so long and tiresome," , said the pretty maiden incautiously. "Two hours' long! I like that. Why, i It's only forty-eight mile* between here and Tass Christian," 1 "Distance," snld the pretty maiden sentcntlously, "Is not n matter of inlles ?with me, at least," she added pru| dently. "Well, we can have a Jolly time by ourselves, anyhow," Mr. Randolph assured her. The pretty maiden hesitated?that Is, ! she would have hesitated, but Mr. Ran1 dolph's cheerful confidence left her no room to do so. They wnlked on rather slowly, for the crowd was dense, and Mr. Rnn[ dolph's shoulders acted as n bufTer more than once. "We'll have time to go and get some hot chocolate before Rex gets here," I he calculated cheerfully. "Look out ' there, will you?" This last to a line of college boys who were going through the crowd like an animated wedge. The orettT maiden lanorlied dell. clously. "You looked bo angry," she explained between gasps, then stopped suddenly because a small red devil, with battered mask, Aimed a shower x>t confetti at her laughing face. There was a blare of trumpets down the street and the long roll of a drum. A. wave of excitement lubmerged the people. Randolph used shoulders and 1 elbows with a skill that bespoke long experience on the football flekl, and the pretty maiden found herself In the front of the crowd. Mounted policemen paced slowly past her, a band shrilling forth "If Ever I Cease to Love," and then Rex and his cohorts. The pretty maiden dimpled and blushed from sheer delight at the gorgeous spectacle, and the capering maskers on the fantastic floats repaki her Interest. One threw her a great fragrant bunch of violets, which she clasped with both hands like an excited child; another tossed an armlet of brass; a third a box of French sweets, until young Randolph was hugely proud of her.' Then, when the Last silver tower and shimJ .... - _ merlng veil bud melted down tbe street, } be swung her Into tbe crowd again, ber cheeks pink with excitement and tho gront purple violets nestling In the furs under her pretty chin. "Now let's have that chocolate," said Mr. Rnndolph. They found a corner in a pretty tea room, and he dispatched a waiter for their order, while the room filled steadily. "Do you know," he said, "you've t changed somehow?" The pretty maiden came back with ' a start to the fact that Mr. Randolph 1 was not a lifelong friend. j "Have I?" she asked safely. . UV/v?

"I've changed ?" asked the pretty maiden mournfully. "You're so? so much more so," he ex- ; plained lucidly. "You remember," naked Mr. Kan- ' dolph presently, "how we used to love I each other when you were ten nnd I ] was fourteen ?" ( "We didn't," she said, with a stnrt. 1 "Oh, nonsense! You cried your eyes out when I left for school. And you said you'd marry me when you grew up?and when we said good by?you kissed me." "I did nothing of the sort," cried the pretty maiden, very pink and furious. "You've forgotten," said Mr. Kan- j dolph. "There's no reason why you should be ashamed of It. A childish affection Is the most sincere?and you certainly were fond of me," he finished tamely. "l'vo changed very much," said the pretty maiden, thoughtfully selecting n macaroon from the plnte of cakes. "I'm sorry," said Mr. Kandolph simply, "becnuse you're even nicer than you used to be." "I want to tell you something," she said. "I'm not Miss Preston?I never saw you before. I'm here for the car-, nival, and I lost my people In the crowd this morning; nnd then you came nnd?I know It was horrid of me." "Well," said Mr. Kandolph sillily. "Well, it was Just a lark," she pleaded defiantly, "and won't you please go ?now?hurry, please." The pretty llilii/loil hn/1 OAAn line n??t nwu nvt lliviuri 411111 UUUVi across the room. "If you wish It, of course," snkl Mr. Randolph with most unreasonable dlgplty. "I think you hotter," she said, and fairly pushed him away, and In a niopieiit she turned to bw father and mother with iudignatlon Ju her eye. "Well, you lost me." she said with hypocritical anger, "for two whole hours, and I'm nearly starved." The pretty maiden and her parents dined with friends that night, and the pretty maiden went in to dinner with Mr. Itandolph, to her unbounded surprise. Mr. Itandolph looked a similar feeling. Then they both laughed. "The world Isn't so large after nil," she said. "My world," said Mr. Randolph, "comes only just up to my shoulder." A Malay Water Slide. In rernk, a state In the Straits Settlements, the Malays have one form of amusement which Is probably not to be enjoyed anywhere else In the wide world. There is a huge granite slope in the course of a mountain river, down which the water trickles about two inches deep, the main stream having carved out a lwxl by the side of the bowlder. This rock, the face of which has been rendered as smooth as glass by the constant flow of water during hundreds of years, tlio Malays-men, women and children?have turned into n toboggan. Climbing to the top of the rock, they alt in the shallow water with their feet straight out aud n hand on each side for steering and then slide down tlio sixty feet into u pool of water. This is a favorite sport on sunny mornings, as many us 200 folks being engaged at a time and sliding so quickly one after another or forming rows Of two, four or even eight persons that they tumble into the pool a confused mass of screaming creatureB. There is llttlo danger in the game, and, though some choose to sit on a piece of plautain, most of the tobogganers are content to squat on their haunches. Love's Queer War*. Mine. Myrlam Harry, the Parisian novelist, who traveled about the world a good dcul, described what evidences of affection are prized by men and women In different countries. In Jerusalem she once met a young Arab woman who had not a tooth left in her head. Mine. Harry's native servant said: "Lucky woman! Her husband knocked all her teeth out. He does love her!" In Cochin China Mme. Harry was told that there a husband was not believed to love his wife properly * + 11 K? - ? * uum lie uau Iimun tfyireieill TO IlOr or a coffin. In Oallcln, among the sect of MasocblAts, n man values his wife's affection by the degree of suffering which she causes him to endure. Mme. Harry there once heard n betrothed youth say to his affianced bride, "If you really loved me you would consent to bind me and flop me with this whip." At Stockholm a woman suod her husband for divorce on the ground that he did ( not love her soulfully. m Bat Slorrly. The propriety of eating slowly ought always to be remembered.
