At a sugar mill on the island of Barbados the men In attendance were shortening sail when a native boy. who did not let go soon enough, was carried aloft by the great forty-five foot sail. He fortunately had all his "wits about him and managed to get his feet around a bar of the sail and to hold on to the one abovQ, In this position -he was carried around, the mill revolving with increased rapidity, as the man whose duty it was to feed it bad rushed out at the first alarm. A cry waa raised to choke the rollers with cane and thus stop the mill, and this was done at the imminent risk of breaking some of the machinery and so releasing the sails altogether, but after six complete revolutions the mill was stopped, fairly choked by the bundles of cane thrust into Its Jaws, leaving the sail, to which the boy still dung, uppermost, and be ninety feet from the ground. With marvelous nerve be proceeded to climb down that perilous ladder and reached the ground. It is estimated that be traveled nearly 1,900 feet in bis aerial Journey and half that distance with bis bead downward.

Selected Words. The game of selected words is played thos: Tbe company may be divided into sides, each half selecting a word, tbe object of one side being to find out tbe word selected by the other. The word most be tbe name of something well known to both sides. Words of two or more meanings are tbe best to be selected, such as pen. post. mail, rail. deer. etc. The answers are thus more varied and tbe words more difficult to select. Each side' asks questions of tbe other, which sboold be answered in a plain, matter of fact, truthful way. The side guessing tbe hidden word in the fewest questions is victorious. Conundrums. Why Is a baby like wheat? Because it is first cradled, then thrashed and finally becomes tbe flower of the family- „ What is that which is sometimes with a bead, without a. bead, with a tail and without a tail? A wig. When are tailors and bouse agents both in the same business? When they gather tbe rents. Why are the tallest people the laziest? Because they are always longer in bed tban others. What class of women are apt to give, tone to society? The belles (bells). 1 * The Small Gray Mouse. The small gray mouse ran east. And the small gray mouse ran weet And could not tell In tbe least Which way was best. Tbe small gray mouse ran north. And the small gray mouse ran south And scurried back and forth To escape the kitten's dreadful tooth lined mouth. But kitty thought it precious fun To see the panting mousie run. And when it almost got away Her furry paw upon its back would lay. i : V .. . i „■ But kitty grew too vain and sure. She thought she had the mouse secure. She turned her head; she shut her eyes. That was not wise. And ere she knew t The gray mouse up the chimney flew. Where dainty cats could not pursue. Bo she had nothing else to do But miew-00-oo! —St. Nicholas. ■

Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. ; IPHEN a man remarks to his wtfe that some woman has been making a fright of herself his wife knows the woman has the very latest thins In hats. Hunting for an opportunity and hunting for work are not the hubs* thing by any means. It takes no more than a baseball game, a sunny day and a pass to make some men happy. A carelessness of attire that is unpardonable in a fifteen dollar a week clerk is a mere eccentricity in a millionaire. The man who buys the first strawberries in the market likes to impress the neighbors better than he likes the berries. The country bred man tells his wife how delicious sassafras tea is, but It Is noticed that he lets the children have his share. The policy that takes best with widows is a life insurance policy. Unlike charity, headache is a multitude of sins In Itself. The small boy is always willing to arbitrate when bis mother reaches ter her slipper. Whether the price of gas looks Ilka robbery depends on whether you are drawing dividends or paying bills.

Tomorrow seems a fairer day, Filled to the very brim with play. Without a single bill to pay Or trouble of that sort, A marvel and a pure delight.

With pleasure stalking on the stag* And pictures bright In every page, Without a streak of gray. No lowering clouds obscure the And every heart is warm and true. Youth comes its pledges to renew. And all the world Is gay. Today we struggle with the load, Find stony places In the road. Meet thorns that sting and words that goad. Endure the two faced friend. Receive returns for labors small.
