"I don't think," said the girl with
the sailor hat, "that you used Charlie
right. There lie has gone to a lot of
expense getting ready to marry you,
and you had not given him an inti-
mation that you had any other
thought than that of becoming his
wife. Then you threw him over in a
minute. You've broken his heart,
and I know it."
"Well," said the girl with the silk
waist, "I'm sure I thought I wanted
to marry him, but I just couldn't.
\ou wouldn t, either, if you had gone
through what I did."
"Tell me," said the
sailor hat imperatively.
"You see, Charlie is nervous. I
think he is a good deal of a coward,
too, but that didn't matter much.
Only one day he told me that it was
necessary for him to go to the den-
tists and have some teeth fixed, and
he said he couldn't bear the idea.
He talked so much about the pain
and all that sort of thing that I told
him I would go along and cheer him
up. He said that that would be just
splendid, and that with me around
he was sure he could stand all sorts
of pain without a whimper. We
went up to the dentist's last Satur-
day afternoon. We had to wait a
good while in the anteroom, but
Charlie didn t seem to mind it much.
I leally think that my being there
made him feel better, and I was glad
of it.
"The time came for him to go into
the operating room, and he went in,
first squeezing my hand and telling
me to stay there until he came out.
I cat over near the door and could
hear the conversation. The dentist

One day, crossing the plains, Peck
was curled up in a seat in the smok-
ing car when his attention was at-
tracted to a group of drummers across
the aisle. The train boy had just gone
through the car vending his litera-
ture, and the drummers were dicuss-
ing the book entitled "Peck's Bad
Boy. One of the party, a particular-
ly noisy fellow, boasted of an ac-
quaintance with the author of the I
book—yes, he knew Peck intimately 1
and forthwith proceeded to regale
his friends with elaborate stories of
his experiences with the Wisconsin
humorist. From his point of van-
tage across the way Peck listened in i i
silent surprise to the preposterous in- !
ventions of the fellow, and his
amazement deepened into horror and
chagrin when the garrulous drum-
mer encouraged by the interested
countenances of his hearers, pursued
his discourse to the extent of narrat-
ing, with scrupulous attention to de- j Kentucky Taylor or Sam

One of the officials of the Pennsyl-

magnificent bald head, was in a Phil-

on your head?" The official assent-
ed, with an observation which
showed he had previous experience
with the matter. "Go ahead. Idon't
think you can do me any harm."
Thereupon the barber, with a great
flourish, took a bottle from the
stand, and with much ceremony be-
gan to rub his customer's head. Aft-
er he had been rubbing some time
he stopped suddenly and seemed
greatly agitated. Turning to the
customer, he said in the most flus-
tered manner, "You must excuse
me, Mr. , but I really forgot to
ask you how high you wanted your
forehead " The official suppressed a
emile, and realizing that such confi-
dent was unusual he gave the man

The gutters and ridge covering were
torn up, and the pipes used to convey
the water from the roof were blown
to pieces. Mr. Highton calculated
the power developed in the discharge
of the lightning which destroyed the
church with some known mechanic-
al force. He discovered that a hun-
dred tons of stone were blown down
a distance of 30 feet in three seconds
and consequently a 12,220 horsepow-
