I Youth Had Ho Choice * in Matter of Drets A young buMnexs nmn xurI prised Ills ntiice associates oilier I <ln V by coming In t" work nt “• iixitul jS hour In Hie im"'" l,l «. wearily “ fullIM dre*" suit. -j 1,,, evening tieWre tie hud run out > In his car to visit a friend In the I omnii.v. nml his friend find jiergtinded J him m s, tl.v »ll night. At midnight he I wits escorted to the guest room, where T pii’iiimis were laid out for him. nml, | undressing nnd depositing his chillies v| upon a chnlr, be went to bed. The next morning, while he’was tnkI ing a shower In the bathroom, grand••l mil, who hud spent tlie night with a I married daughter who lived nenrtiy, and who didn’t" know that theie was company, entered the room mid. seeing the pile of clothing on the chnlr, supposed that It had been left by her I son. mid. finding that the suit was not I in first-class condition, promptly sent I it by :i passing schoolboy to Ihe tailor | to be pressed and <>ut the other garfl nrnnts in the wash. Ami the full dre«s suit was the only I one the host of the surprised young I Boston business man hud to lend.— ■ Boston Globe. Formality in Order With Supreme Court The nmn wi a is Interested in little I oddities desired to know exactly what the crier uttered in announcing the | o[>ening of each session of the United States Supreme court in Washington, f rom the clerk of the court, he received the following: “As the Justices enter the courtroom the crier raps with his gavel I nnd utters the words, ’The honorable I the chief Justice nnd the associate I justices of the Supreme court of the United States.’ • "When the Justices are standing before their chairs, he says: ‘Oyez! | I Oyez! Oyez! AJI persons having ! business before the honorable the ; Supreme court of the United States are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the court is now i sitting. God save the United States and tin's honorable court.’ “At 4:30 the crier says: "The hon- ; I orahle court is now adjourned until ■ I tomorrow at 12 o'clock noon (or what- | ever day the court designates as the 1 next court day’).” Famous Old Vane Tiie grasshopper on Fuueilil hall In Boston is njai'e of sheet copper, which was hammered by hand by Deacon Shein Dnrwne in 1742. The grassI hopper was thrown to the ground in the autumn of 1755 ns the result of an earthquake, one leg was broken, which was supplied by Prowne’s son. j Il passed through the tire of 17G1 witli I lint little danmge, but again fell in ( .Marcli. 188!>. on the anniversary of the evacuation of ttie city. It was removed several times for repairs, which was supplied first by E. Vinal in 1852. when it was stuffed with coins and papers, which came to light during the repairs of ISB9, when Frank A. Worthly supplied new eyes, horns and two new feet. It was removed again in ISiiS, during j the rebuilding. At this time It was, repaired and replaced. In the following year It was regilded. Mutual Condolence They had not been married very long and the young bride was dusting her presents. She stopped su...lenly at a pair of silver frames. "I don't think It was kind of Mr. Griggs to send us a present. Jack.” she said. “We scarcely knew him.” Her husband tossed aside the evening paper and drained his unsugared coffee at a gulp. “Oh, well,” he murmured, “I sent him a wreath when his wife died. I suppose lie remembered I thought of him In his time of trouble, mid decided he'd think of me In ’■.line.’’ Elastic Arbor Day The American Tree association says Unit tlie luw In New York state Is very elastic In resjiect to Arbi r dnv and permits of miming tlie date sectionally so ns to take full advantage of climatic conditions In different parts of the state. Hence there are* three Arhnr days In New York —one .for Long Island, one for ‘‘Upstate’’ and one for northern counties. As a rule, the hist Friday In April and the first two Fridays in May are the dates selected, t'allfornhi observes March 7, the birthday of Luther Burbank. Justice Certes, I have often been vexed to see Judges impudently making use ot fraud mid false hopes of pardon and favor tt> cozen a poor criminal into a confession of the fact alleged against him. It would become justice, and Plato himself, who countenances tills manner of proceeding, to furnish me with other means more worthy of my approbation; tills is a malicious Jus tleejfennd I look upon It as no less violated by Itself than by others.— Montaigne. , JSr ' Knew His Stuff One of the Janitors out at the Big U applied for transfer Into the transportation department ns a mechanic. “But why do you think you would make a good auto mechanic?" Managet Kurland wanted to know. z “Well,” said the applicant. “I’ve been studying It nnd I’ve found that all It amounts to Is, that while you’re sup posed to be fixing one pint, make sttri that you break something else."—Lc*.-' Angeles Times.

Kings of Many Kinds Figure ct Weddings j A wedding ring Is not always n ' ■ Huger ting. There was once n cele i | briited. but hasty, royal wedding I when a curtain ring served the pur ! pose. At a London church the bride i I groom Wad left the ring at home, but I a resourceful bridesmaid cut off n I I lock of the bride’s golden hair, plaited I It tn n ring, mid the ceremony wns i completed. At a fashionable wedding In a Lan I casldre church when the hrldegr ’ lost the ring a wedding guest took the gold-rlmmed monocle from Ids eye. broke out tlie glass, handed tlie frame ; to tlie bridegroom nnd the wedding ' 'gent on. a somewhat shiftless printer pawned (lie ring the day before tlie wedding, and tlie India rubber ring from an umbrella had to serve; after the knot wns tied tlie kindly clergyman lent him Hie money to redeem j the gold token. • A ring of leather cut from the bride ' groom's glove once served ns a sub i stltuie. It wns an elopement nnd the i harassed lover hnd obtained a license, j Imd the minister in readiness nnd n i call waiting, hut hnd forgotten the I ring. He took up Ids pocketknife, cut , one from tils glove and was duly marI rled. The skipper of a tug wns nnI able to produce the golden circlet al I the proper moment, though he had It j in his hand when he stood before .' j ■ ■ minister. Being a very bashful ninn I lie hnd, In Ills embarrassment, put tlie i ring in his mouth mid swallowed it. ; One of his friends was dispatched to [ the tug, which was lying at a nearby wharf, to see If any of the crew . ; ul a ring to lend for the occasion; ns I none of them possessed such an article. I of personal adornment, he borrowed nn earring from the Portuguese cook nnd the knot was duly tied.—New York Times. Custom Wouldn’t Work in Civilized Circles Natives of tlie Gilbert Islands in Hie South seas have tried the common ownership part of communism for many years. Its workings are IPus trated In the recent case of a native I who returned, home from a prosperous season of work on the plnntalh ns ! of the Marshall group, bringing with ' l int ti bicycle. As he wheeled it off | Hie wharf another native touched if. trying, "Bu-aba-gee." Immediately lie became half owner of the machine. The first native, knowing protest was useless, hided Ids time. Tills new shareholder In Hie bicycle was a (level boat builder and when he launched tlie next tine catamaran of redwood, out rushed ills partner In bicycle ownership yelling, "Bit abagee!” and at touch became half owni er in tlie new craft. Travelers say the \ custom is seldom abused. . , 7 Formation of Petroleum Tlie geological survey says Hint tlie organic theory of tlie origin of petroleum is most generally accepted ('rude petroleum of paraffin base Is believed to be formed of vegetable de- I hris mid petroleum of asphaltic base Is believed to be formed of organic I matter containing a large proportion j of animal matter. Substantially tlie same products lire obtained from peI troleum of either base, except asphalt, ! which is obtained from asphaltic pej troleum only, and paraffin wax, which i is obtained from pnrattinaceous petroleum. Paraffinaceous petroleum contains a larger proportion of kerosene, gasoline mid other high-gravity prod nets thqn asphaltic petroleum. Plant Calories .Tack’s mother is ultramodern anil Hie young lad is quite familiar with ■ the lore of calories. The son was accompanying his mother on a shopping tour to the city. As they were making prepara tions to leave home, mother said: “Jack, don’t let me forget the plant food today. Our house plants me looking like splndleslianks." The bus was nearing tlie business section of the city. The dependable Ind spied a seed store and said: "Mother, we better get off here There is a place where you can get your calories for the house plants" —lndianapolis News. I Supreme Salesmanship The traveler In educational books approached n business nmn. “So you want to sell me some books, do you?'’ "Yes." said the book traveler. “Well,” said the man of business "I have no words in which to express m.v (-(tffienipt for n nmn who Ims mdn ing better to do tlian travel in hooks.” “Then,” replied the traveler, "allow me to sell you one, of our dictionaries. It contains s<>.<HN) words hi which you can express your contempt.”—"Keginn Leader. *“ f Made a Bad Trade Tlie poet Heinie’s sense ot humor must have been a great boon to him through all Ids disappointments and ill health. After months of paralysis and blintjnesi, he said one day to a visitor, records Lewis Browne tn "That Man Heinle”: “Ah, you find me now utterly stupid I” “81, you mean," the other suggested. “No stupid,” the invalid insisted. “You see, Alexandre Weill was Just here, and we exchanged ideas I” « The One Harmed Most Nobody after all ever clients any -body but himself.—American Mngn | zine. - I

GENERAL @ ELECTRIC Refrigerator WclOz i \ IK® p T J The result of fifteen years of intensive research THIS simplified General Electric Refrigerator works automatically, quietly, economically. It needs no attention —not even oiling. Inside the hermetically sealed casing there is a permanent supply of oil. The all-in-one icing unit is merely lowered into the top of the cabinet. There is no assembling, no plumbing to be done. There are no pipes, drains, fans or belts. The unit , ‘ is intact. It just has to be plugged into any electric outlet. Instantly it starts. And quietly, economically, it gives you scientific refrigeration. Cuts down your marketing problems, your cooking tasks. It was for this that the skilled engineers s of General Electric worked —over a period of fifteen years—worked to produce the simplest of all refrigerators. You will want to know more about this new-day refrigerator. You will want to see the various models that are now on * display. By all means, come in.
