Wanted Lots of Love.
Librarians have some peculiar ex¬
periences, especially in the down¬
town districts, where the poor chil¬
dren are often sent by their elders
to draw books. The other day a
little chap of perhaps five and of
some foreign extraction toddled into
a downtown branch and, holding up
a grimy card. 6aid to the young wo¬
man in attendance:
“Please, my sister would like a
book of love.”
The librarian supp ressed a smile
end gave him “Child] ren of the Ab-
bey.”
The next day he returned with
the book tucked under his arm and
remarked:
“Please, my 6ister would like an¬
other book with more love in it
than this one has.” — New York
Times.

THE ENGLISH PRIMROSE.
No Other Flower Holds an Equal
Place In Britons’ Affections.
No flower holds the same place in
the affections of the people of the
British isles as does the common
primrose, Primula vulgaris. It is
so closely associated with the coun-
try life that it would be hard to
find a person who does not know
what it is. One of the first flowers
to open in spring, it is largely used
to decorate the churches at Easter,
Bather different from the Eng-
lish sparrow and some other “insti-
tutions,” it does not make itself
entirely at home in America, but
as a garden plant it is well worthy
of a little attention.
The greatest drawbacks to its
welfare in this climate are the hot
summers and severe winters, the
former being the worst. But if
planted where it can get a little
shade and moisture in summer and
a slight protection of leaves or oth-
er material in winter it will well rc-
W for tl ' c « tril c iire - h is .hard-
ly necessary to speak , of the , color, as
>1 has given its name to that shade
0 f i,.|j c » vellow; hut there are manv
garden hybrids or dinerent colors,
ranging through all the shades of
blue and purple, that are very pret-
Ly and sweetly scented. The cow¬
slip, Primula veris and Primula of¬
ficinalis, names it is variously known
under, is very much like the prim-
rose in habit and general appear-
anee, but the individual flowers are
deeper yellow and smaller, with sev-
eral borne on one stem, forming an
umbel, while the blue primrose lias
only one flower on a stem.—Mee-
ban’s Monthly.
IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
The Reason Bill Moved From One
County to Another.
It was on a Missouri highway
that a native stopped a man driving
a load of household goods and ask-
ed:
“Say, Bill, where ye gittin’ to?”
“Gittin’ out o’ this county, Abe,”
was the reply.
“But ye jest moved a few days
ago, Bill”
“I know it, Abe,” said the man
on the wagon, “but that’s long
enough fur me.”
“Waal, Bill, I’m sorry ye don’t
like our county. Mebbe ye wasn’t
treated neighborly enough?”
“Yes, I reckon I was. I hadn’t
got settled when a family come in
and borrowed a jug of ’lasses and
three chairs, and another family
come in and borrowed terbacker
and cups and saucers and then”—
“But that was jest to be neigh¬
borly, Bill,” interrupted the other.
“I kinder thought so, Abe,” he
continued, “but, as 1 was sayin’,
then ’long comes another family
and borrows my mattress, and an¬
other got the loan of my stove,
and”—
“Jest wanted to make ye feel at
home, Bill.”
“I kalkerlated so, Abe, and I
wasn’t sayin’ a word until Jim
Brown come over yesterday and
borrowed my gun and my huntin’
dog.”
“Yes, Jim’s a neighborly old
soul.”
“Mebbe he is, Abe, and I let him
have ’em; but, dawggone my hide,
when he come back an hour later
and said he had accidenshually kill¬
ed the dog and wanted to borrow
another I kalkerlated it was time
to move. Git up thar, Sam, and
let’s be a-gittin’ out of this neigh¬
borly county afore some one comes
along and wants to borrow our;
whisky. Gee up!” — Philadelphia’
North American.
A Resourceful Peddler.
“A few years ago I thought I
would become a suburbanite,” said
a New Yorker, “and with this
ject in view I purchased a place in
a Long Island village. There was
but one serious drawback to the
place, and that was the influx of
peddlers. An army of hawkers in
fested the place morning, afternoon
and night. The bell was jingling
all the time, and the dog was driven
to the verge of rabies.
“One morning I lost my temper.
It was the sixth peddler to call be-
fore breakfast that upset my
ly serene temperament, and I told
the persistent individual if he did
not leave instantly I would whistle
for the dog.
<< < All right, sir,’ he retorted, ‘but
first won’t you allow rne to sell you
a good whistle? I have here’—
“But that was the last straw, and
I resolved then and there to live
town Y’ork the rest of my days.”—New
Times.
Some Women.
It is a common sight in London
to see scores of women, many of
them with babies in their arras,
standing at public bars drinking
gin. If the women were taken from
behind the bars, the women would
not stand in front of them. This
is the proposition which the British
reformer does not seem to have
acted upon.
In France one wonders where the
men are, as the women appear to
be doing all the work. It is much
the same in Germany. In the city
of mending Munich I recently saw women
the streets, adjusting the
rails of the tramway and handling
the heaviest tools of the trade. I
saw no men at this work. Those
who were not walking about in mil-
itary uniforms were mainly driving
cabs.
The reflection upon this sort of
differences in national points of
view tends to a certain inward sat-
isfaotion in the American breast,
perhaps the natural gratifica-
tion which one feels upon regaining
native shores is mingled with a
touch of that pride which needs to
be regulated, but not necessarily
cis suppressed.—William in Lippincott’s. Howard Fran-
A Perfect Lady.
The following conversation took
place between a well known actress
and “a dresser” in a large provin¬
cial theater in England:
“Perhaps you don’t remember me,
miss?” said the dresser in the half
vague, half confidential manner of
her kind.
“I remember you very well,” re¬
plied the actress, “but I think it was
your sister who dressed me when I
was here before.”
“Oh, no, miss! I’ve got a sister,
but she’s never been here with me.
Oh, you’d have liked my sister,
miss!” Then in a tone of convic¬
tion, “Oh, she’s a perfect lady—
looks so nice—always wears a black
silk dress, and I’ve never seen her
the worse for drink in all my life!”
A Husband Incidentally.
The death of a member was re¬
ported recently at one of the worn-
Tg&tt'SSgZZ her. To whom? inquired the pres-
ident. Inquiry was made as to what
left. “She had a daughter,” ex-
plained a well known suffragist.
I he letter should be sent to her
daughter. But wasn t there a bus-
h*ind juiju. ?” innmred lliquirtu jninflipr dllOtner memoer. mptnlipr
“Oh, yes, there was a husband, too,”
admitted the suffragist, with the air
of <f husbands don’t count.” The
club decided, however, to count the
husband in and send the letter to
“the family.”—New York Press.
The Mighty Amazon.
The Amazon is in every respect
but length the greatest river in the
world. At many points in its low¬
er course so vast is its tide that one
shore is invisible from the other,
the observer seeming to look out
into a rolling sea of turbid water.
It has over 400 tributaries, great
and. small, which rise in so many
different climates that when one set
is at flood height the other is at
ebb, and vice versa, so that the bulk
of the great river remains unchang¬
ed the whole year round. At 1,000
miles from its mouth it is navigabh
for large sized ships and at 2,000
for steamboats of the size.
What Alligators Eat.
More than once curious things
h av e been found in the stomach of
a shark, but never has such an ex¬
traordinary collection been found
as was discovered recently in the
stomach of an alligator,
This alligator was killed in the
Sudan ^ and was more than twelve
feet in length. In its stomach were
discovered eighty-five stones, sev-
era l birds’ claws, two human finger
nails and three hoofs of a donkey,
1 ° ° ne of which a piece of rope was
attached.

“I want you to make for me a
thousand strong pocketknives,” said
the jobber.
“Here’s a good knife I keep in
stock,” replied the manufacturer,
“l can give you a thousand at once,
It has two good blades and a cork¬
screw.”
“Never do. This order is for a
prohibition state.”
“Well, do you mean to say the
corkscrew is of no”—
“I mean to say that the knife
should have two corkscrews and one
blade.”—Beverage
