SHORT ITEMS OF INTEREST

It takes a good mind and a generous heart to grow old gracefully. Don’t neglect to know a little more than you let people know you know. Whether you frankly admit your blunder or not, people will want to go on talking to you about it. Schools for the deaf in the United States have 17,532 pupils, and more than 13,000 of these are being taught to read the lips in conversation.

MY FAVORITE 'T STORIES I COBB

Dutt to Dutt TN THE Pinenut mining region of ■ Nevada during the early nineties, rich gold-heuring veins were discovered In the foothills. Coinchlent with this discovery came the development of placer claims In the beds of some Ivalley streams There was a tremendous rush ot i>r<.specters from neighboring mining towns, and Pinenut became the center ot much activity. Um fortunately, it proved to be a superficial bonanza and petered out in a short time. A few fanatics still lingered on. hoping tiiat a sharp pick in hopeful hands would open a new Golconda at an unexpected moment. As Robert H Mavis tells the story, one of the ‘hangers on” had the bad taste to die It was tiie custom in new mining camps for rhe district recorder to perform the services of the church and to lay to rest those who expired with or without their boots on. The ceremony was tiie same for both. This particular funeral took place In rhe dry bed ot tiie creek A hole 6 by 2 by 3 had been s<*oope<l from the gravel. The body reposed in a rude coffin Tiie recorder, from the Book of Common Prayer, read the service tn a solemn voice: The coffin was towered by horny hands. “Ye brought nothing into this world and ye shall take nothing out.” “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord Dust to dust.” Reaching down lie gathered a handful of dirt and gravel which sifted through his fingers ami fell with a rattaplan u[>on the wooden box. “Ashes to ashes.” But instead ot either dust or ashes the gleam o» a nugget tlashjd back from the coffin lid There it lay. resurrected from the eternal glacier while trie lamented was being returned to the mold Without a moment’s hesitation the recorder dropped his prayer book, jumped - into the grave, heaved the deceased out of the property and exclaimed in a loud voice: “I claim everything 75U north and south and (W feel east and west. Everybody'get oft these premises!” With that, he pulled out two sixshooters. cleared his estate of spectators and put up his location notices without delay. The interment took place the following day in a vegetable garden. • • • A Matter of Short Division TWO East siders strayed fat oft tbeir customary heal. Tiie middle ot the afternoon found them in one of tiie fashionable side streets iust off Fifth avenue. They werfe tiled and hungry.! too; it had been a long time since * break fast and their business, whatevet it was which had brought them so fat uptown, had kept them from lunch. • They saw the entrance to a smart restaurant much frequented by wtiat tn the metropolis are known as tea bounds. They entered; but immediately the surroundings abashed them. There was so much <d magnificence on view; an orchestra was playing; smartly dressed couples were dancing in an open space; the waiters were superior looking persons in clean shirts. “Ike.” said one of rhe aliens, “dis ain’t our kinder place—we gotta go islow and not make no breaks. Leave !us slip into a coupla seats at a side ■table an see what the rest of dese :guys is takin before we gives our order.” To ike the idea seemed a good one. iThey sought out a comparatively quiet corner and made themselves small and Inconspicuous. But their ears and their eyes were busy. Two slick haired youths ot the lounge lizard type sank gracefully down at a nearby table. “Well, old top.’ said one In an affected English accent, ’’what shall it be?” 1 i “1 have It.” said his companion brightly, after a moment’s thought; .“we’ll spill a bottle of White Rock.” The eavesdroppers made 8 mental note. Next another pair ot dancing men drop;>ed into their Immediate vicinity. After an almost affectionate argument these two agreed to split a pot ot tea But one of them must have felt like being extravagant. “Tell yon what.” he added, “supipose. old dear, that besides splitting [the tea we cut up an order ct toast between us?” : At rhe adjoining table Louie straightened himself He had the cue ! to a proper mode of procedure now. “Ike.” he said. “I'm onto de curves of dis dump. now. I'll tear a herein’ wid ynu!” <© bv ihe MeNautbt Svndtcste the.) ————— Trapping* of Folly i Affectation is to be always distinguished from hypocrisy, as being the act of counterfeiting those qualities which we might with Innocence and safety be known to want.
