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.

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. - Two to One. “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 ARE YOU WISE imstt' Mexican nui aon there it no remedy to equal & !/■ 4 4 \ y t \ w M kg\ V \ t <fWJ. \ \ My) V / wr' am easy way and a sure way to treat a case of So-'' Throat in order to kill disease germs and insure healthy throat action is to take half a glassfull of water put into it a teaspoonful of Mexican Mustang Liniment and wit* %hi* ontstSo f*reie tbo throat «fc thoroughly frequent intervals. with li.: Then bathe the of the throat ti o on a soft doth uiui v. rap CURE. 56 *. auKl Sl.CS a bottle.
