rURNED INTO A SPEED DEMON (
Things Happened When Dad O’Shea'*
Neighbor Tried to Pass Him
on the Road.
TO THE PUBLIC
Dad O'Shea owns an extensive apple i
orehard. and tie and his live .stalwart j
sons run it ‘do .suit ourselves," though
not alw ays with the best results;. Across n
tile hay; Raymond Harlow, an eastern : \
college man and "hook fanner,” owns
an equally extensive orchard and some- j
how. much to Dad's chagrin, succeeds
in making money out of it. Dad seems
to take; it as a personal affront that
Barlow actually .makes a financial suc-
cess of orcharding. .
But in spite of limited returns from
crops Dad bought a showy, six-cylinder
touring car. “Now, I’m warnin’ ye,”
he said to his sons, “she ain’t fer you
young fellers to bat around the coun-
try ! Recollect she cost nigh as mueto
as a house. Tin mile an hour’s enough
over these roads, and I’m rulin' wid ye
to see that it’s kept.”
One day, when they were driving
homeward a little horn squawked- be-
hind them on the narrow road.
‘‘Step on her, Frank!” urged AX
“Speed her up!”'■
“Ye’ll do nawthin’ of the kind,” de-
clared Dad. “Ye know what I told ye.”

Use for Mummified Cats.
Some years ago a considerable trade
was carried on between Great Britain
and. Egypt in mummified cats! The
cat-was a semi-sacred creature among
the ancient Egyptians and because
they symbolized wakefulness, stealth-
iness and craft they were held to be
special favorites of the gods of sleep
end of the land of the dead. Wheiy
they died they were carefully treated
,by the undertakers of that day, and
after careful embalming were buried
in great vaults. The degenerates, or
more enlightened descendants of th*
ancient Egyptians—however one cares
to consider them in their attitude to-
ward their forefathers’ beliefs—made
merchandise of the mummies of the
cats,'and sold them in shiploads to be
ground up and converted into fertiliz-
ers for the soil. There was found to
be no truth in a story that human
remains were occasionally found
among the embalmed pussies.

Apostrophe to Water.
A11 hail the drink of drinks—to wa-
ter, the daily need of every living
thing! It ascends from the earth in
obedience to the summons of the sun,
and descends in showers of blessings.
It gives forth of its sparkling beauty
to the fragrant flower, its alchemy
transmutes base clay into golden
grain; It is the radiant canvas upon
which the fingers of the infinite irace
the rainbow of promise. It Ib the bev-
erage that refreshes and brings no sor-
row with it. Jehovah looked upon it
at creation’s dawn and said;^ “It Is
good.”—W. J. Bryan.

Kitchener Cornered.
Lord Kitchener was once motoring
with Colonel Sir T- when the
chauffeur was incapacitated by getting
an insect in his eye. “Can you drive
a motor?” Kitchener demanded of
Colonel Sir T——. “No,” Kitchener’s
host replied, and was told, “Every
officer should know how to drive a
car.” When the chauffeur recovered
they continued their drive, while Sir
T-ruminated on the field marshal’s
rebuke. Finally lie turned to his chief
'and asked him if he could drive. “No,”
Kitchener replied austerely.
