Old Shoes

“I wish you would look across- the street l'" exclaimed Mrs. CbuddicoU. Chudlcott came and looked. “Do you see that old pair of shoes In the gutter?’’ said Mrs. Chudoicott. "Isn’t that a lovrly way to ornament the front of a house? Wouldn’t the Gin look nice strewn with old shoes from one end of it to the other?’*. “What’s the significance of it, anyway?*’ asked Chuddicott. “This isn t Christmas. I have bqard that the Dutch put out old shoes for Santa Claus to fill. But this isn’t Holland, either, so I don’t understand it. Perhaps the people living there don’t know that their shoes have escaped. Or perhaps there is a child visiting there and the child has beten cutting its teeth on them.” “No, they must have been put Ibere for the street cleaners to pick up v'hen they come along,” said Mrs. Chuddicott. “There’s a theory that the htreet cleaners come along and carry away all dirt from the gutters. According to theory, the jjtreet cleaners come every day, but those shoes have been there days!” “I know it! Those two old shoes look quite pathetic! They have served their master well and now at last they are turned out into the street! I am surprised trie Trimmers, eccentric as they are, would have old shoes on guard in front of their palacial home for several days! Perhaps they don’t know rtiey are there. Do yqji think .we should tell them?”' • “No they mignt think we were com plaining. “I have it! Trimmer threw them at a cat, altho it seems strange that they should have landed side by side like that. If I could be sure that he had thrown them at a cat I would place them neatly on his front steps, wheA te could get them back, for he may want them again. A mar '' f ten lives t(. say: ‘Oh, how I wish I had the shoes that once I threw away!’ But whether a dog brought them there or not, some dog will probably happen along and demolish, them tomorrow so they will no longer offend your sight.’’ “I think I begin to see why they are there!” said Mrs. Chuddicott. ‘Mrs. trimmer set them out there so some reedy wayfarer could pick them up and wear them!” “A very pretty custom!” declared Chuddicott. “But no one gets my old shoes, no matter how needy he may be. I think too much of them However, we might hang a couple of old straw hats or my bathing suit on the .tree in front of our house for some poor fellow.’’

A Puzzle “I’m up against it all right,” said Topper to his neighbor, Footin. “The ranary’s dead. My wife was very particular about that bird and I said I wo,:’d take goqd care of it during her absence. She will think I don’t love her very much to let her beautiful bird die,’’ “Don’t let it worry you,” said Footin “That’s easy. The day before your wife gets back go and buy a new bird and she’ll never know the difference. One canary is as good as another.’’ “Well, I never paid endugb attention to the confounded bird to notice particularly- what size it was. I couldn’t p.ck out another just like it.” “Go get the dead one and take it to the bird man and have it duplicated. That’s easy.” “But the bird is clean gone. The cat ate it.’’ “Gee whiz! That is bad. Go to the same dealer she bought it from and he will. perhapK remember and duplicate it” “I do not know where she bought it.” “Well, then, buy any big, fat canary. That will be safe. She will think you were smart to take such skillful care of her bird as to make it big and fat. v ou will make quite a hit with her “Of course if you were to go and tyiy a thin, measly canary, she would thinks >eu were not good. But by pointing with pride to a big fat one you can be safe. You must get, a good singer; a better singer than the old one was. That will make a hit, too, and you can tell her something lie this: ‘ln Older to B et the best results the singing canary should be fed with care. I find that the best results are obtained by feeding ft • ' “Wait a minute. Our bird might not 1 ave been all yellow. There may have been some black marks "on it. What about (hat? As soon as she sees there ere no black marks on the bird she will hold me up in scorn.” "Not necessarily. You can teli her that by scientific feeding you have been able to eliminate all blemishes, and she will think you are a wonder. She will be so impressed with your su perior efficiency that she will turn-the care of the canary over to vou for all time.” * “That’s all very well, but I don’t know whether the bird was male or female and my wife does. If she goes away leaving a male bird and come* back finding it a female bird she’li b* pretty mad at me for pulling black a t on her dear little birdH»»« It wor, t make anv kind of a hi', at ail.’’ “Then the oniy thing yon can do is Darn the house down.” “I can’t .even do that for she 11 blame me for pot saving her poor IttUe bird.” Our Idea of a hustler is a man who can work as fast ali day as he ran d r ess in a cold room in the morning.

A War Barometer

“Shut up!’* growled Giggum, to his friend Bazoot. “I don’t want to talk nbqut the war!” “Well, I don’t care whether you dc nr not This is the only chance I’ve nad to express myself in a* whole month. Our cook is an importation, and we don’t want to offend ner, so we can’t breathe a word around the house. “This war Isn’t nearly as impoitant to our family, however, as otu cook is. So we don’t want to say anything that crn give her the slightest grounds for o.fense. We can go and whisper among ourselves when there are developments, but she Is always on the alert oven for that, and It is liable to feet the biscuits. . •*' “When our good Tbefesa is feeling bad about the struggle, the biscuits are also gloomy and heavy and sad, whereas If the news Is good the biscuits are airy and pleasant. “You can’t imagine how biscuits become imbued with the humor of the cook. Now, when a new nation mobilizes, Theresa’s lips begin to pout, and her spirits to droop—” “And the biscuits do likewise?’’ “Well, they are gritty and sour.” “And are the biscuits uncertain when the news is?” “No, her cooking is naturally good, and unless there is bad news she is the best cook in the United States. But vTts have to do a little censoring ourselves once in a while. When the news is bad we ditch the paper, if we possibly can, and when the news is agreeable we place the paper before her. It is a hard job to sidetrack the paper however, for she is generally nut watering the lawn when the paper boy comes, and she grabs the sheet. “So we don’t need a paper to ascer tain how things are faring with the entente and the, alliance. We/ can ted fiom watching Theresa's face. All we need to do is to watch her va ying expression. If we can’t see her face we ran still tell by her back.” “Does it go up like a mad cat’s?’’ “No, but there is a certain rigid expression that it takes on when her fellow countrymen are making a desperate struggle and things look bad, and there is also a sort of relaxation when things are going well. “At first I wanted to see tho Knglisli and their Allies win, hut not any more. I want to see the Kaiser win now.’’ “Why? How’s that?” “I want to keep my good cook. I don’t want her to get the idea that it is necessary for her to go over to Eu rope and help.’’

In the Future The ballroom was crowded. The girls’ dark dress suits, wilh their gleaming white shirt fronts, made a pleasing background for the men’s many colored and graceful costumes. What strong, handsome girls, and what a glorious bunch of blushing, appealing masculinity. With what gallant eagerness each girl rusheci for ward to claim her partner.

The couple of the evening was Little Willie Small and his escort—big, strong, powerful Betty Lipscomb, a fine picture of protecting womanhood! And well might any girl be proud to win for herself such a charming, pretty little husband as Little Willie. Betty’s heart missed a beat as she gazed down upon his delicate head, jesting so trustfully against her broad shoulder as they hopped thru the breathless measures of the horse tret. She felt that at all costs sue must j earn her fate that night. Little Willie knew, also that the time had come when he could no longer avoid yielding to the masterful love of this most attractive woman, and his little heart beat wildly in anticipation of the *great moment. * At the end ol the dance, Bet’Ly, with sudden determination led her blushing partner to a secluded corner well nidden behind a thick screen of growing plants. Little Willie sank Into a chair and picked up his little ivory handled fan, which dangled by a silk cord from his wrist. Drawing a chair lip close to his, Betty took the fan from him gently and began to wield It nervously. Little Willie’s delicate blue veined hands toyed absently with the huge bunch of roses at his waist as he exclaimed in a soft, bell like ; voice, which thrilled Betty to the depths of herjyeing: “What a heavenly dance!” Little Wilie leaned close to her as he asked, in an aggiieved little voice: “Don’t you think so too, Betty 7” What girl could have withstood the liquid innocence of his pale blue eyes and the childish' curve of his tempting red lips? Certainly not Bet'.y Lipscomb. The fan dropped unheeded from her hhnd as she drew Little Willie to her, exclaiming, brokenly: “Oh, my darling, could wo but dance thru life together always! Little Willie, I love you—love you! Will you marry me?’’ Gently she turned his beautiful lit»le face toward her with- her firm, large hand and fervently sought her answer in his eyes. With a delicious sigh of complete surrender. Little Wi: He yielded her to his lips.

Worth Considering

“I’m going to a summer hotel that •makes a specialty of good things to The manager weighs nearly 300 pounds and his wife tips the scales fti more than 200 pounds.” “Still I wouldn’t jump to concilia lons. How do you know they eat there?” 1

> The revival meeting began at Rosebud Sunday of last week. Hiss Hughbanks, the evangelist, of Indianapolis, is now present and will remain until the elapse of the meeting. Everybody is invited to attend.—F. E. Crider, Pastor. Howard Brockway closed his work as prosecuting attorney of White and Carroll counties with the dosing of court last Friday. Claude Ireland, his successor, will take up his duties on Jan. Ist. Mr. Broekway will practice law at Lavayette. R. M. Waddell, a newspaper reporter of Lagrange, was locked in the vault of the treasurer’s office in the court house in that town, after his hair had been clipped by four young women employed in the court house. They had taken offense at an article written by Waddell. Another newspaper man has been rewarded. E. J. Huff, of the Monop News, will leave next Monday for Indianapolis, where he will assume "clerical duties under H. A. Roberts, the newly elected state statistician, ■to which he was recently appointed.
