She Had Spoiled Daddy. Hsr father gave Helen several things for Christmas which she wanted very much, and she kept kissing 1dm to show her gratitude. A day or two after Christmas he brought home a belated gift which didn’t particularly Interest her, and she offered no gratitude. “Come here and kiss me,” said he. pretending to pout in disappointment. "Oil, dear," sighed Helen, “I’ve got you so spoiled that you think klssings always go with givings." Grateful Graduate.

An old maid ought to make a good poker player. She never gives her hand away. Aerial navigation came Into Its own when nearly everything else was o.ver and above. The man who smiles when you hit him Is going lo give the other fellow the licking. If you can’t get what yon want It Is a good thing to want what you cun get —and he satisfied. The other day I heard of a fellow who fell Into a fortune so, hard that he went straight through It. Sometimes a man’s neighbor considers him ungrateful because he insists on managing his own affairs. The members of the “Order of the Incompetent" are all self-elected, hut never admit they are members. Be very careful what you say to your enemies and be more careful what you write to your friends. When the experienced parlor maid has spent her savings she can grab a broom and proceed to raise the dust. "Retribution always lands," said Three-fingered Sam. "Nobody comes out on top by dealin’ off the bottom.” “Anyhow,” remarked Shadrnch as he stepped Into the fiery furnace, “there is no coal shortage in these
parts.”
Persia's Vast Mineral Wealth. Persia bids fair to become one of the richest mining countries in the world, according to the London Times, which says Its mineral wealth Is almost inestimable, but as yet scarcely touched. In addition to the oil fields already tapped, there are others awaiting exploitation. There Is muefc gold, lead, silver, copper and coal. The difficulty hitherto has been with transportation, it being necessary to carry ores several hundred miles over the mountains on the backs of camels or mules, which ate up all the profit. A very good start has, however, been made on building railroads, and as the roads are suitable for heavy motor traffic it ought to he easy to Install mining and reducing machinery. Conductor Just Too Timid. It was on a West Indianapolis ear (lint the conductor short changed a passenger a dime. A little later he punched a transfer wrong. When he reached for the next man's fare the car gave a sudden lunge and he stepped on the passenger’s pot corn. By this time he thought lie owed the passengers an apology, so lie said. “1 toll you. I've got a green motorman running tills car this inortiiilg." The woman whose transfer hud been punched all wrong said to thu man who had hcon short changed a dime. "He is like most men. Just too timid to talk about himself.”—Indianapolis News.
Turks a Pastoral People. From time Inimeinorlnl the peoples of Turkey li;i\c followed the mi-torn! calling. Tlic keeping of Hocks aud herds is an industry llirougheut the moiuituin* of Kurdistan nnd the adjoining hills. Great Cock* are kept nil along the edge of (he desert and in central Asia Minor. This industry of Stock raising, besides supplying the people with a large amount of fond and clothing, furnishes for the export trade hides and dairy products.
Why Your Watch Is Fast. Continual alteration of the regulator of your watch will not Insure regular time-keeping unless you avoid Jolting. Very often a watch gains time simply because the wearer unconsciously jumps or Jerss while walking. This results In an extra coll of the hairspring getting hetweei^ the two pins of the regulator. It replaces Itself by another sudden movement of the body and returns to normal timekeeping.
Tub Bungalow. Tradition often gets tilings twisted. Diogenes, the famous Greek philosopher, didn't live in a tub at nil. He dwelt in a plthos, which Is a huge i-arthen Jar. Because they were so often made of wood, histories have called them tubs; but they were os large as an ordinary hogshead.—Boston I’ost.
United States In Second Place. The United States has now moved up from third to second place In the list of coal exporting countries of the world and British newspaper opinion seems to contemplate America’s becoming the world's permanent chief coal exporter.
First Jap Emigrant. The first Japanese to come to America was n 14-year-oltl boy who bad been shipwrecked and picked up by an American sailing vessel.

An actress says that a divorce without publicity is wars* than no divorce

Some men make a specialty of being honest because It pays better than dishonesty. England has 124 women councillors, all of whom tire making names for themselves. Women are naturally tender-hearted. No woman ever deliberately stepped on a mouse. Eighty-six counties of the 250 In Texas have women among their elective officials. , According to an old bachelor, the nice thing about getting married is that you don't have to. When a woman looks in a mirror she Is luckily never able to see herself as Ollier women see her. Miss Abbie Whistler, of t’hleago. 111., is seeking the nomination for president of the United States. It's enough to make a strong > man tremble to think of a poor shad with rheumatism In all bis hones. f It is far easier io criticize the small mistakes of others than to avoid making a few large ones yourself. No man is particularly fascinated by n woman who is so good that all her woman acquaintances like her. A mother doesn't think that her daughters are doing her Justice unless they provide her with sons-in-law. A dog growls over his dinner because he likes it and a man growls over his because lie doesn't like it. Women may be vain without being pretty, but it's almost impossible for them to be pretty without being vain.

Children Challenge Churches. I became well acquainted in the White uioiintuiiis this summer with a layman from a large Eastern parish, writts Dr. George Parkin Atwater in the Witness. As we climbed Mount Willard together be asked: "What do \ve ne< d most? Could tills church capture the child 'ife?" "It might." I replied, "If It would begin to train laymen for work umoiig children, if it understood the meaning of the hoy scout movement, if it poured iis money into training tpon and women rather than into bricks and mortar; in oilier words, if it aeei pled the challenge of the children. ns Doctor Gardner so finely puts It. nnd brought (he training of children out of the ba- 'inent Into the chief place in the life of the church. “Moreover, never forget this: The stir* -d way to the heart and life of the parent Is through un interest in the child."
John Oliver Hobbes House Sold. Stecphill castle, Ventnor, Isle of Wight, has been purchased privately by Sir Thomas Brooke-11 itching. Recently when offered at auction the property was withdrawn when there was no advance on $25,000. The mansion, which is of stone, is a representation of an ancient castle In Norman Tudor style, with einbaltlemented roof, turrets and towers, and Is seated amid extensive grounds overlooking the sea. It was the family residence of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Richards, the parents of Mrs. ('raigle ("John Oliver Hobbes,” the widely known authoress), who did much of her literary work there.—London Telegraph. Treat Cataract With Radium. Of the 24 cases of cataract treated with radium by two New York physicians, improved vision is reported In 50 ist cent, with some Improvement In 87.5 per cent, c In the treatment, which whs continued from three months to n year, the radium was fixed a little less than an inch in front of the eyelid, which was closed, and harmful soft rays were screened out by a filter of suitable kind. No injurious effects on the eye have been observed.
Mother’s Knee. "Stories first heard at your mother’s knee, 1 ’ said the moralixer, "are never forgotten." "yes," rejoined the demoralizer, “and It is the same way with some other things you felt at a mother's knee."
