Too Busy.

A new suit of clothes was bought for Alfred, age nine, so that Jie might look as well as all the other boys in his Sunday school class. His other suit was good enough to wear to town and to visit his relatives; but not to go to church. So a very expensive suit was bought. And with the suit he got a ball and bat. Mother carried the suit home and Alfred carried the ball and bat. He was swinging—it from side —to—side, when he suddenly said: “You can take the suit and hat back if you want to, mother. Now since I've gotten this ball and bat I'll probably be too busy Sunday mornings to go to Sunday school any more.”

MERELY PIECE OF FOOLING

Course Taken by Germany Resembles Closely Neat Trick That 4s Credited to Sheridan. “The Germans. by fooling us with German bolshevism, hoped to escape the payment of war indemnities,” said a congressman. “It reminds me of a story about Sheridan, the spendthrift playwright. “Gunter, the confectioner, left his statement with Sheridan one morning, and a few hours later Himson, the ironmonger, called. “Hanson was very pressing on the subject of his account. He harangued and he harangued. Sheridan, broke, as usual, paced the floor in despair. “But suddenly an idea struck the spendthrift and he said : “‘You know Gunter?’ “‘One of the safest men in London.’ Hanson replied. “ ‘Then you will be satisfied if I give you his bill for the amount?’ “ ‘Certainly.’ “Sheridan thereupon handed the Ironmonger Gunter's neatly folded account. snatched up his hat and rushed forth.”

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSEBAER,

Suffered for Years Miserable From Kidney Trouble. Doan’s Made Mr. Barnett Strong and Well. "I suffered untold agony with my kidneys for years,” says John Barnett, 30 Virginia Place, Buffalo, N. Y. “Sometimes I felt that I would burn up with fever, but every now and then would have a severe chill. Often my clothes were wringing wet w ' ; th perspiration. The kidney se-' f cretions were un- wj natural in color and odor and burned ter- Jy ribly. At night my y y shoes were so tight Vfc. on my feet that I could hardly get them off and my hands swelled so I hold a teacup. My back! Oh, how it ached! I walked with ™‘ "* rnrtt two canes and was all bent over like an aged man. When the terrible pains shot through my kidneys, my knees would give way and many, times I had to be lifted to my feet by people on the street. I didn’t care whether I lived or died, I was so miserable. I finally used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me of all kidney trouble. Doan's made me strong and well.” Sworn to before me, A. A.

LOOKED LIKE LABOR WASTED

Board’s Visit Over, Small Boy Couldn’t See Further Necessity for So Much Soap antd Water. He was a new little boy at the orphanage and was much impressed by all the scrubbing and cleaning he saw done there, more so because he had come from a home in ■which disorder and dirt had held sway. He could nbt understand it; more than that, it irritated him, and when he got the job of scrubbing the dining-room steps he was almost ready to leave. But just then came a new excitement to the home. The board was coming to make its annual tour of inspection, and the cleaning was doubled. “Get ready for the board,” was the home watchword, it seemed, and he, being very human, decided to until that big event was over. The day of yisltihg came and passed. The next morning the new youngster sought the matron. “Now that them boards has been here, I don’t see nc use of scrubbing them steps so often —do you?” he asked.

“What killed your case in court?” “I guess It was the fact of Its being a short circuit court.”

Appropriate.

Very Likely.

WISE GUY, PARLIN

Knew Just What to Do With That Little Book. Recital of Tragedy In the Gibbs Homo. r stead Decided His Course of Action Without Necessity of Long Thinking. “I heard that Mrs. Gibbs is going to leave home,” was the spicy bit of gossip with which Mrs. Barlin met her husband after he had parked his little motor car in the back yard. “No!" gasped Parlin, dramatically. “Yes!” came back his wife. “Until Gibbs gets the house decorated —which will be about a year from now, at the speed he is traveling on the job. And 1 don’t blame Mrs. Gibbs. If you attempted to do what Gibbs Is doing I’d leave for mother’s for an indefinite period. “The Gibbs family always called in expert decorators to do their work until this year. Now Gibbs Is suffering from an attack of economy, and he figures he could do the work himself and put the saving into Victory bonds, or spare parts for his car. “He bought a book called ‘How to Do Your Own Housecleaning.’ for ten cents, and began to memorize the thing. The book was so full of statistics and specifications that he soon became addle brained trying to figure it out. “One chapter was devoted to painting. It explained minutely how one could figure out the surface of the walls andby multiplying the dimensions by something or other find out exactly how much paint would be needed for the job.

“Gibbs figured out that it would take 55 gallons of various colors to do the work. He ordered up a wagon load of paint and began. “When Gibbs got through painting he found that he had 37 gallons still untouched. But as he had opened all the cans as soon as he got them, he could not return them to the paint man in exchange for anything else. “Gibbs lost a tidy sum on the paint job, and even more on his wall papering. He ordered enough paper to cover the side of a warehouse, and when he got through papering his living and dining rooms he had them matched all wrong and the 88 rolls left over were in tatters. He mixed 23 gallons of paste, basing his figure on- the book, and had 19 buckets unused when! he fell off the ladder and broke his shoulder blade.” “So Mrs. Gibbs is going to leave poor Gibbs alone with his broken shoulder?” “She will—unless he changes his mind about finishing the work. If he persists she Is likely to do anything, for she is in a desperate frame of mind.” Parlin reached into an inner pocket and drew forth a little book called “How to Do Your Own Housecfeaning." He tore the book Into small scraps and threw them at the cat. He didn’t look at his wife, for he knew she would understand.

Airplane Surgery.

Great interest has been aroused in Paris by the trial flight of a new airplane, Invented by the engineer Nemirovsky and Dr. Tilmont. The new machine, which is called the “aerochir,” is designed to place promptly at the service of men wounded in warfare, or persons injured in serious accidents, qll the resources of medical science, and if necessary to carry them back to the hospital. Everything required for surgical and X-ray work is provided on board the airplane, iucluding an operating table, and even an ingeniously constructed collapsible tent which can be erected on the scene of an accident within two or three minutes. Two models of the “aerochir” have been designed, one capable of carrying four injured persons in addition to the necessary apparatus, and the other much larger, capable of carrying a medical and surgical staff of ten persons, and bringing back, if necessary, as many as twelve injured.

Anxious to Please.

The mistress of the house engaged a new servant and gave her instructions how to behave when answering her bell. One evening she rang for a glass of milk, and was surprised to see Martha appear with the glass grasped in her hand. “Oh, Martha!” she said, “always bring the milk to me on a tray.” Martha apologized, and promised to remember future. A week later the bell rang, and the same request was made. This time Martha appeared with the tray and the milk emptied into It. Anxious to please, she curtsied, and inquired: “Shell I bring a spoon, ma’am, or will you lap it up?”—London Answers.

Teach Sailors to Swim.

Merchant mariners must know how to swim. The United States shipping board has added lessons in swimming to its course for apprentices. It is said that any number of seamen, picked at random, and compared with an equal number of men picked from land industries, will show about 25 per cent fewer men able to care for themselves in the water. Many sailors are unable to cwim even a few strokes. *
