Cant School Was a Worthy Ancestor
of the Kindergarten.
A cent school It so called because
the children who come to It bring
each on# cent, clutched tightly in a
little hand, or knotted in the corner
of a handkerchief, a dally offering. If
the cent la forgotten, or lost on the
way, the child gogpthome for another,
that la all, and has scolding for care-
lessness Into the bargain.
for Indeed this should all be In the
pant tense rather than the present,
the cent school being a thing of the
past and, as one might say, a great-
aunt of the present kindergarten, an
old woman from the country, who Is
rather plain in her ways. Eunice
twain would have thought a kinder-
garten foolishness. Her children did
not come to school to be amused, but
to work. She put them on benches la
her big kitchen, because It was warm
there, and sat In the dining room door
and taught them, or chastised them.

three Rs, and manners, and truth tell-
ing, and. above all, humility. Impress-

Plenty Good Enough.
Aunt Chloe was burdened with the
support of a worthless husband, who
beat her when he was sober, and
whom she dutifully nursed and tended
when he came home bruised and bat-
tered from a fighting spree.
One Monday morn.ng she appeared
at the drug store and asked the clerk
for “a right pow'ful liniment fob ach
In' In de bones.”
"You might try some of this St.
Peter’s Prescription, aunty; it's an old
and popular remedy, cures cuts, bruis-
es, aches and sprains. One dollar the
bottle. Good for man and beast,"
Aunt Chloe looked at the dollar bot-
tle and then dubiously at her flat
purse. "Ain't yo' got some fob 50
centsT” she ventured. “Some foh Jes’
on’y beasts. Ah want it foh ma ol'

A Boy’s Essay on Ducks.
A schoolboy assigned to prepare an
essay on ducks, wrote: "The duck Is
a low, heavy-set bird composed mostly
of meat and feathers. He is a mighty
poor singer, having a hoarse voice,
caused by getting so many frogs in his
neck. He likes the water and carries
a toy balloon in his stomach to keep
from sinking. The duck has only two
legs and they are set so far back on
his running gears by nature that they
came pretty near missing his body.
Some ducks when they get big have
curls on their tails and are called
drakes. Drakes don’t have to set
or hatch, but just loaf, go swimming
and eat. If I was to be a duck Td rath-
er be a drake."—National Food Mag a

Chinamen at Communion.
An Infrequent visitor to St. Paul's
chapel was amazed to see three China
men go up to the communion rail on*
recent Sunday, come back to tbeli
seats, and sit very quietly and intently
throughout the partaking of the com-
munion by the others.
‘It is not at all strange,” said ths
clergyman in charge. “There are very

KITTY WANTED TO BE ALONE.
•tery Well Illustrates the Workings ef
the Childish Mind.
When Httle Catherine first began to
lisp she was suitably instructed by her
mother in religion. The omnipresence
and the omniscience of God were ex-
plained to her in words of primer
length A)1 this religious training evi-
dently Impressed her profoundly, but
she kept her meditations to herself
until the other evening.
The four-year-old had been tucked
Into bed after saying her prayers, and
aa her mother stooped to kiss her good
night the child asked eagerly:
"Is mamma going downstairs now’”
"Yes, dear.” ’
"An’ Is God going to stay in dis
room?" -v f
"Yes, yes, dear."
"Well, Cath’ln wants mamma tq tell
God to go downstairs, too. ’cause she
wants to wear dat pretty dress tomor-

God sits down tn dat chair he'll muss

DUMMY DISHES FOR BANQUETS.
Are Used to Give Impression of Prod-
igal Display.
Cardboard cakes and other similar
delicacies are, It seems, no longer con-
fined to the stage, and at many func-
tions requests for a portion from a
particular dish might cause great con-
sternation.
The use of these dummy dishes Is
increasing very much, for at many of
the public banquets for which th# tick-
ets are almost ridiculously cheap it
would not be possible for the caterers
to supply the great show of delicacies
and Cessert which are exhibited on the
buffets for so little payment, if they
were real.
They provide, therefore, a certain
amount of real food—poultry and
game—and Judiciously place dishes of , _ .. _____
dummy food among the real, to give Bot ** an art but merely as the
the impression of a prodigal display.
The waiters
alone know exactly
what they may safely attempt to
carve, and what to leave alone; and
the most observant guest would have
difficulty in distinguishing the real
from the counterfeit.
Nothing is more deceptive than the
fruit at some functions. What are
those luscious hothouse peaches with
such a perfect bloom on the dishes?
A bite into one of them would bring
cruel disillusion.
Around, perhaps, are arranged real
bananas, apples and ebeap grapes, but
the big black hothouse grapes are also
frauds.
The caterer cannot help himself. His
supporters love a show, hence he must
provide it as cheaply as possible.

Bentley had been out late the night
before, or rather, he bad stayed in

about all he had left to show for It tn
the morning was an old-fashioned
away-from-bome-made headache. In
hope of relief, he had sought bis old
friend the barber, and the latter had
been busy on Bentley’s head and face
for the past hour.
"By Jove! Karl,” said Bentley, as
the barber rubbed the top of hla head,
"that feels mighty good, I can tell you.
The man who invented massage was
not only a genius, hut a benefactor to

There’s only one trouble about It.”
“Vot is* It?” asked Karl, hoping that
perhaps he might overcome the diffi-
culty.
"Why, It’s all on ihe outside,” said
Bentley. “If there were only some
apparatus that would enable you to
get Inside a fellow’s head and clear
out the pains of the morning after,

A Sister-
in-Law
By Wm. K. Landon.
(Copyright, by Ford Pub. On.)
They were sitting in a ditch, or
rather, Teddy was sitting, and Phyllis
was stretched luxuriously at full
•enSth, with her shiny bronze toes
pressed hard against a tree at the bot-
tom of the bank, and her back propped
against a moss-covered trunk at the
top.
Teddy, on the other hand, looked de-
cidedly uncomfortable.
Teddy was sn ordinary clean-looking
boy. He was just drifting through the
second year of bla happy go-lucky ca-
reer at college
Phyllis had always been accustomed
to a willing army of male slaves and
admirers, and found undiluted femi-
ninity rather oppressing at times. So
she welcomed an occasional meeting
with Teddy and kindred undergradu-
ate spirits.
Teddy was In a decidedly bad tem-
per. He knew that Phyllis had had
her photo taken recently; he had. In
fact, seen the proofs, which were
charming, and of course, he had ex-
pected one to put on his mantelpiece,
there lo create an impression among
bis friends.
"Why the deuce she won’t give me
one beau me.” be thought gloomily to
himself. •
Phyllis had relapsed Into silence,
and was ruminating on things tn fen-
ersi.
Everyone had always considered
that Teddy and Dorothea, Phyllis'
younger sister, had been cut out for
each other from the cradle. Since
their nursery days they had roamed
about the countryside, birds-aestlng.
Sneezing Superstitions.
Sneezing has an extensive folklore
In many countries. Sometimes the act
U considered ominous of good and
sometimes of evil. Among the Jews tt
has always been regarded, at an ap-
propriate moment, such as the con-
clusion of a bargain, as propitious,
and a belief still lingers in many parts
of the country that the regular habit
of sneezing, particularly after meals,
is conducive to longevity and a pre-
caution again fevers. The oid English
custom of saying "God bless you”
when a person sneezed, so as to avoid
evil consequences, has its counterpart
in many far-distant parts of the globe.
The early settlers in Brazil found the
sneezer saluted with "God preserve
you,” while in Fiji it was customary
to retort: “May you live.” in super-
stitious Suffolk there Is a sneezing
tariff—once a wish, twice a kiss,
thrice a letter and four times af dis-
appointment \
One ef the Remarkable Cases.
He began after the usual form, to
wit:
"I have a little boy at home who—"
They interrupted him after much
the usual form, to-wit:
"Pardon me, old man. 1 must be
going along. Sorry I can’t wait, but
I’m due at the office.’’
"Just a minute,” he urged, button-
holing the two nearest. "It won’t take
me ^.minute."
They sighed and resigned them-
selves.
"All I want to say.” he went on, "Is
that I have a little boy at home who
never said a bright thing in his life.”
They grasped his hands with a
thankfulness that could find no ex-
pression in words, and then he added:
"He’s too small. He can’t talk yet."
me wen enough—I've been in love
with you for months, well"—rather
, sheepishly—"for weeks, at aay rate”
—Teddy stopped abort, conscious that
he was bungling the thing horribly,
j Phyllis relaxed the tension of her
i limbs and slid rapidly to the bottom
of the ditch. Her dress bunched up
round her, and her chin, on a level
with Teddy's, rested on her two
hands.
Her brain worked rapidly.
She most tide over this phase of
Teddy's till he saw Dolly again; then
she would bring off aomettyng defi-
nite. and it would come all right.
Phyllis endeavored to make her soft
, blue eyes look hard; she failed utter
Jr. however, from want of practice.
! She also tried to smooth out her dim-
ples. which she had frequently been
(told were bewitching, bnt she only j

Now. disdainful eyes, even absence
of dimples, is no barrier to love's ar-
dor; but a lover, particularly If be be
vary youthful, can never survive ridi-

Teddy suddenly felt be had made
a fool of himself. Awful enough at
any time, but In the presence of a
girl—above all, of Phyllis He waa
furious with himself, furious with her.
he became more and more crimson.
"Teddy, dear." Phyllis st tost man-
aged to gasp out, "I’m really awfully
sorry; I wasn't laughing st von,
but—"
"Perhaps you’d rather be getting
back as you seem to find my pres-
ence Si odious"—a scrap of eloquence
from the ’ Footlights.” a college play,
to which he was to act la the ap-
proaching commencement—came to
the aid of Injured dignity
Phyllis rose, shook out her crumpled
skirt and settled her Panama hat.
"Oh. Teddy, you are funny," she said,
trying bard to recover her gravity.
Teddy helped her out of the ditch,
and strode off, if one can be said to
stride in patent-leather pumps rather
down at the heels.

adorer, and she had nearly wept her
eyes out when he went to school for
the first time. She was if lovely girl
of 16 when the young man came from
college for his first vacation, and even
Teddy, the unsentimental, felt a sud-
den thrill when be saw her again after
a considerable lapse of time. With
the advent of manhood his devtlon had
increased. His succeeding vacations
had been spent in Europe or with col-
lege friends, and consequently Teddy
had not seen much of Dolly, while he
and Phyllis had met at all kinds of
college functions and festivities.
Proximity is an all-powerful influence
with a young man of Teddy’s suscep-
tible age, and Phyllis, thinking over
his manner to her of late, came to the
conclusion that it was decidedly tin-
brotherly
"Bless the boy.” she aatd to her-
self. “I hope he isn’t going to fall to
love with me It all comes of our be-
ing so much alike, I suppose. I’m cer-
tainly not going to appropriate Dolly’s
property, and I shan't let Teddy break
her heart, either. He’s got about as
much mind as a chameleon; but If he
can’t make it up for himself 1 shall
have to do It for him.”
So when Teddy begged for her new
photo, with a look in his eyes which
Phyllis had never seen there before,
with quick, tactful Intuition, she said,
shortly: “No, 1 can’t, Teddy.” and
took refuge in a half-real, half-studied
nonchalance, while thuader settled oa
Teddy’s seldom-ruffled brow.
The girl lay still, unconscious of the
storm she was arousing in the young
man's breast
However, she merely supposed that
something must be done to break the
silence and coax Teddy back to good
humor, so she began casually:
“I wonder what Dolly's doing just
now?”
Teddy flung away his cigarette.
“Hang Dolly,” he said, tn a way that
made Phyllis open her eyes and stare
at him. "Look here. Phylhe want

“Who’s Teddy Randolph got up. I
say. old man; two fair girls and a
portly mamma?”
The speaker, a youth of blase ap-
pearance. lounged on the window seat
of a room, gracefully buoyed up by
numberless cushions. He was scan-
ning the brilliant kaiedloscope of sis [
ters, cousins and undergraduates
wending their way in light summer at-
tire and shady hats about the cam
pus.
Ths other occupant of the room,
who was laboriously picking out an
air on a banjo, ceased his absorbing
occupation and came over to the win-
dow. Contrary to his custom, he
waxed enthusiastic.
"Why. they’re the Misses Bletch

shoes "
“Oh, so that's the matter ”
Teddy, as host of two such pretty
girls, found himself the hero of the
hour. Third-year men, even seniors,
had suddenly become unbending and
affable. His own set vied hotly with
each other in invitations and atten-
tions. Teddy’s manner waa becoming
tinged with the superiority bora of
success.
It was the day of the sophomore
dance, and his fickle allegiance re-
