"What?" he nst. "Do you uo what's the Largest lake In the United States?" I told hhu. ' "Of corse," he nuserd. "Lake Soup peerlor." "That's -whar you're rong, paw," 1 says. Paw took his Blgar out from between his teeth nud made somo rlugs of smoke. Thcu he says: "George, 1 been llvln' In this country Several years longer thau You, and I haven't been keepln' my eyes shut nor my Enrs plugged, neither. Lake Soup peerlor Is the biggest lake In the United States, and It makes mo feel snd to sco you sitting there Grinning like a polcrts mun thnt got cot asleep on Ills bent becoz you think you uo more Than your fawthcr." "Well, JiiRt the snmc," I told him, "Lake Michigan's tho biggest one In th United States. I learned thnt when tho teacher gave us Our joggcrfy lesson to day." "There's wher I say Chicago people make a mistake," paw says. "It's all rlto to Stick up for your town when you can do It scnsablc, Dnt they nln't enny use tryln' not to notus Facts when they don't make you feel proud. You mlto as well try to keep a baby with a Pin jabbln' It In the side from squnllln by tellln It some of Its anscstors were offusors In the rovolushoncrlo War as to think you can ever twist n Fact so It won't fly rlto back In shape tho mln uto you let Go. So I Ray It's rong for Chicago people to try to mako out thnt Lnko Michigan's tho biggest Just becoz they can sco It from tha back ond of Their flats." "Well," I told him, "It's so enny way. They ain't nuuthcr lnko In tho United States as big as Lako Michigan, becoz our teacher told us about It." "Georgo," paw Bays, looking llko If his hart was tutched, "I've trlde all my life to Be a good, reasonable palrunt to you, so when you Grow up to bo a man and como sometime to where tho Grass was green and tho Leaves russcld soft ly nbuv tho mound nnd all was still and peaceful), you would look down with luv In your brcst nnd think of tho Dcnr old days when you could hear tho glad, onuust ring Of my voice nround tho House, nnd blamed If I'm n-goln to Bo contrndlcted by my own children rlto to my fnco when I no I'm rite. Hero I go working away and Raving my munny to give you a Homo nud scud you to school, nnd Then you Como bnck at nlto and Tell mo I don't no ns Mutch as some teacher that hast to keep at It a Hole munth to crn what I mako In n Week. It, would of Been a nnd day for mo If I would of Ever talked to my fawthcr that Way, and I ain't going to put up with Enny moro of It." "But paw," maw says, "don't bo too lmpalshuut with tho Poor boy. You wouldn't wnnt him to Think sumthlug rong was rlto becoz you happened to Get mlstnkcucd about It, would you? Mebby ho mlto bo correct nbout It, af ter all." "That's It!" paw told her. "Go on Incurrldglug him to Think his Fawthcr duzzent uo n map from n sheet of Sticky lly paper. Of corso I couldn't hardly expect you to .think I mlto no as mutch nbout somo things as a Loven year old boy, but I'm not Going to lot enny of the rest of tho Fambly tell mo so rlto out In plain words. And how enn you sit There, mnw, and say tho boy mlto bo rite nbout this Thing? How could ho bo rlto? They aro no 'mlto' nbout It." Then ho had to lite his stgar again, and I whispered In mnw's ear when ho didn't seo me, and hIio snys: "Well, I kind of think, ho Is rite, enny wny. I tell you what. If you're rong you don't Got a new fall ovcrcoto and I'll have my sealskin mndo over." "Oh, shaw," paw ansered, "what's tho use tryln to Enllten peeplo that won't llssen To reason? That's ono thing I llko about me. Whenovcr I'm not sure of ennythlng I'ui willing to Lcrn lnstcd of sticking to what I sed first. I'm always reddy to hear ' tho other side, and I don't want enny moro of This contrndlcktun or onny more of theso 'nibbles' or 'mites' when I no what I'm talking nbout neither!" So I showed paw the map where he could see Lako Sup parlor Izzcnt In the United States, but Lako Michigan is, and paw Looked at It a seckond or two nnd then he didn't sny ennythlng,, but comraenct to smoko hard and Look like If ho was thinking solium thots.

WetVirKliila Mountain Vlllaace Where the Printing la Done. There are many millions of postal cards used by the people of the Uni ted States every year, yet scarcely a thought Is given ns to how or where they are made. If the question Is asked, "Where do they como from?" tho answer, lu nine case.? out of teu, will be: "Oh, from some of the New England paper mills, I suppose." And the matter is dropped and forgotten. It will surprise the majority of pcoplo to learn that the contcr of the postal card ludustry the only place, In fact, where they are made Is n little village lu tho mountains of West Virginia. The town Is Piedmont, nnd here, six days In every week, an army Is busily at worlcmaktug tho little oblong sheets of cardboard on which so many messages of all sorts and kinds aro written by all conditions of people. Here, the cardboard Is madu from tho fresh, sweet spruce trees; hero It Is cut Into the requisite sizes, nnd hero the cards aro printed, packed and shipped, even tually lludlng their way Into every WIIK1IE roSTAI, CAltns ARK. UADK. State, city, town nnd hamlet In tho country, nnd to Cubn, Porto Blco, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. Tho United States Postal Card works were located at Piedmont on Dec. 1, 1807, having been transferred from Cnstloton.jN. Y. Albert Daggett, of Brooklyn, IN. Y., has tho contract for tho term if four'yenrs to manufacture nil the vaylous kinds of postal cards required by the government. Tho lnrgest shipment over made from tho Piedmont works wns on Juno 10. 1000, when It reached tho largo number of 1M,000.000. Tho cards were shipped to various largo city postolllces and to tho sub-ngoncles. The sub-postal card ngencleH'are located at Cincinnati, St. Louis, Troy, Now York and Washing ton, D. C, nnd nro technically known ns distributing olllces, where requisi tions nro lilted on orders of tho stamp division and of tho third luststnnt post master general. HE EATS WITHOUT A MOUTH.

Tho apparatus consists of a piece of small rubber tubing, about llfteeu Inch es long, to ono end of which Is nttnehed a hard-rubber funnel. Tho liquid food, Is poured Into tho funnel, the tubo It passed down tlio'noHtrll to tho esophn gus nnd thus tho food Is passed Into the stomach. It Is rather a hard way of eating for a healthy boy, but young Fackcnstock Is thriving on It, and )f no unlooked-for reltipso happens until bis mouth shnll heal ho will soon bo nil right again, In Honor offliitciihcrj;. It has been decided to establish nt Mayenco a permanent museum lu con nection with, or rather as tho outcomo of, tho llve-huudrcdth anniversary of tho birth of printing. In addition to this an International Gutenberg society is projected, nnd ought to be a success. Tho grand ducal government of Hesse Darmstadt at Mayenco bus already done much toward making tho estab lishment of the Gutenberg Museum n certainty. Tho constitutions of .the mu bouiii and of tho Gutenberg society only require to bo widely known to securo the hearty co-operatlou of till Interested in the greatest Invention of tho last flvo centuries.
