NOT MUCH TO WRITE ABOUT

Reporter Naturally Found It Hard to Make a Very Long Story Out of Happening. . : The city editor of an Ohio paper said to a new reporter: “There’s to be a meeting of the trustees at the public library building this evening at eight o’clock. You cover it. Make a story of about 400 words.” The cub went away on his assignment, and the chief of the local department turned again to his desk, made entry in the assignment book that lay before him, and dismissed the matter from his mind. About eleven o’clock, however, he suddenly called out: “Where’s Tompkins?” .“Here, sir,” said the new reporter, coming forward. . “I sent you to a board meeting at the public library. Where’s , your story?” “It isn’t quite finished yet. You told me to make 400 words of it, and I’ve got only a little over 300 so far.” “What did they do?” “They met, called the roll and adjourned until next Friday evening.”

JUST WHAT DID SHE MEAN?

Young Teacher’s Reply Might Have Been Merely a Statement of Plain Fact, or— The young primary teacher had been continually annoyed by pobby’smother ever since he had entered school. Nothing suited her. At first It was the hours, then the arrangement of Bobby’s seat, and finally, after a score of complaints about everything imaginable, she began to come to school to criticize the and books used. “Now, these readers are not nearly so interesting as the ones we used to use,” she said. “Couldn’t you get some of those old books and use them to supplement these?” she asked. "I don’t know I could find any.’ r Tiesltated the little teacher. “But .you will find the stories so much’ more Interesting that you will be paid for your effort in bunting them,” insisted the woman. “How I did love those stories! There was one about a little red hen. It —” “I don’t believe that would interest my children now,” Interrupted the young teacher. “You see, the hen grew up.”—lndianapolis News.

LITTLE SISTER

By ETHEL M. FARMER.

Mary Ann stood at the side of the road and watched her transient visitor settle .herself comfortably in her dew roadster. It seemed only a minute before she had waved goodby and had disappeared from view. It was one of those glorious mornings iq early April, when the sun shone exceptionally bright and the sky seemed exceptionally clear, but a slight frown passed over Mary Ann’s face as she slowly retraced her steps to her home and to a bag of unfinished darning. Virginia’s last words kept running through her mind. ■ “Of course you know that Kenneth receives his discharge tomorrow and we are all going to meet the train,” she had said. Mary Ann was delighted to know that her neighbor was coming home but the village rumors which were circulated troubled Tier. She wondered if Virginia’s “hope chest” was really filled to overflowing and if she had really bought material for a wedding gown. She did'not bln m e Kenneth if It were true, for Virginia was the prettiest and richest girl in the village. Yet all the villagers knew and loved Mary Ann, although it was quietly agreed that she was far from good looking. Every one called her “Little Sister” for she had always seemed like a little sister to them all. Mary Ann’s frown soon changed into a smile and she began to sing snatches of songs, for she could never scowl or sigh very long. Then suddenly her bag of work fell to the floor with a thud and she ran eafgerly out of the -deer—and—down—the- na rro w,cobbled path. She was just in time to throw open the gate for an elderly man who was leaning heavily on his cane as he wnlked along. “How is dad after his walk this lovely morning?” She asked cheerfully. “Fine,” he replied, “but a little tired.” He rested his hand for a moment on her shoulder and" smiled at her solicitude. “Do not worry,” he assured her, “I am better. Did you know that our neighbor was coming tomorrow?” he asked suddenly, “and the village Is planning a hearty welcome? You must be sure to be at the station when he comes." ~ _ ~~~ Her eyes sparkled and her voice was eager when she spoke. “I will go if you are all right.” “Of course you will go, because I will be all right,” and he laughed a deep, rich laugh, for he thought of the happy reunion of his dearly beloved daughter and her old schoolmate. He knew how she had watched the papers with great anxiety while he was in the trenches, and how she had waited with great aniticipationand expectationsfor his home-coming. It was no wonder that a deep flush passed over “Little Sister’s” face when her father said teasingly: “I suppose you and Kenneth wllbsopfi be hunting up your old playgrounds?” The next day dawned clear and beautiful and the air seemed chargedwith enthusiasm and excitement. The quaint little village was gayly decorated with flags and bunting and strains from the band filled the air, in their last attempt to have a good rehearsal before the train arrived. Self-satisfled Virginia sat alone in her car, waiting for the parade to

start. She seemed more dignified and prouder than ever as she watched the moving mass with great contempt. She seemed pleased to think that she was unmoved and unexcited and only wondered if Kenehth would like her new silk dress and jaunty black hat. But where was "‘Little Sister?” Many searched the crowds for her, for she was one of the people who was always missed. But the long parade started for the station without her. She stood alone at the door of her home and watched the cheering crowd move along. Her father was sick and she dared not leave him alone. When the train whistled in the distance, the'crowd of welcomers moved with one accord nearer the tracks, and (he band began its music. scanned the doors and windows of the train as it stopped and the travelers began to climb off. At last Kenneth was spied and they rushed to him. Then the people gave cheer after cheer while Kenneth was being transferred from the train to the top of a large baggage truck, where he was to give a speech. He seemed to be in excellent spirits and told them about many of his experiences. His ankle had been injured in one of the battles and it would be a long time before he £ould walk without crutches, but his cheerful smile showed them tljat'he was glad that he was able to do his bit for his country. _ ~ After the great festivities were over me returning hero rapped at his old playmate’s and neighbor’s door. He could hardly wait until the door was flung open and Mary Ann rushed joyfully out to greet him. “Little Sister” smiled contentedly when he told her the story of his Ilfs overseas. And all this time another girl was sitting sedately in her parlor waiting for her "gentleman c&Uer.” If she had happened to walkby a certain humble, little cottage, she would have seen two old playmates reunited. A few months later a very pretty wedding ceremony was performed when, a certain “Little Sister” was made “Little Wife,” but the “Village Belle” was not present.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often ' Rejected, a—— I ■ I I—l V** Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing In fl nr n of Dr. Kilmer’s-Swamp-Root is । soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. Ah examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.—Adv.

Soon he was fast asleep. In a reclining position, with his hat in his hand, he was enjoying a quiet nap. When his wife returned she was shockingly surprised to see a dollar and a half In her husband’s hat.
