She Knew the Pattern.

Kate Field’s Washington has an instance of memory recently told of a lady who formerly lived in Missouri, but is how a resident of Ohio. As she was- one day riding on a cable Car in Kansas ,City she casually ? danced at the houses as she passed. n one of the yards she saw a silk patch work quilt hanging on a line. Instantly she stopped the car, and going to the house rang the door-bell and asked if Mrs. B. lived there. The reply being in the affirmative she entered, and a moment later two old friends were chatting over former times* She said she had recognized the quilt as one she had seen her friend make in central Missouri eighteen years before. The janitor of one of the Portland public schools, coming into the class-room one day recently, saw on the blackboard this sentence, “Find the greatest common divisor.” “Hullo.” said he, rts that durned thing lost again?”
