he stopped and glanced seaxehlngly
around. Dear me, how glad I was
when the danoe was over, and, maklnfr
some excuse, I hurried away, only to
run up agnlnst my hostess and to be
Introduced to my second partner.
"Ah, me, what a handsome man, and,

put out toy most bewitching ways and
hoped I looked my best and took care

AUSTRALIAN RAIN.
When It Dots Fell It Pours Down In a
Ptrfaet Flood. '
How different things are in the old
world trora what they are In the far
away troplcr!
"They hnd no rain here for a fort
night, and they called It a drought!"
wrote nu Australian from Scotland In
a scornfully superior tone calculated
to induce the belief that it never rains
in Australia and that droughts lost a
hundred years. Not so. Australia Is
the land of contrasts. A drought has
lasted for seven years. But what is
there even In Scotland to compare with
the persistency of Australian rain
when It does see fit to fall?
For eleven weeks without stopping
did' the rain continue to moisten the
dry places of Sydney some years ago,
washing out most cruelly the brief,
bright season of winter, when the Aus
tralian looks for living Instead of ex
istence and peace instead of pressure.
And what rain! It shot from the clouds
like arrows, and the whole world was
a battlefield during that July. As the
arrows darted into the earth the. earth
rose and dashed into the air, and rain
and mud met and grappled with each
other day after day, night after night,
week after week. And the battle was
neither to the rain nor to the mud. A
strange and horrid situation arrived.
Sydney ran clean out of galocbetv
For two weeks not a galoche was to
be had in the rain drenched city for
lore or money, Then a fresh shipload
arrived from somewhere or other. And
then the rata stopped! London Mali

"I have just found out about the
woman opposite me after two years of
mystery and anxiety,", said the flat
dweller. "She is a pretty, fat, roily
poly woman with a white complexion
who sits at ber window half of her
time doing nothing. She has a boy of
about ten. Her life seemed so simple
and still I didn't see bow she lived
Evidently she didn't support a hus
band, but who supported her? The
thing worried me, but last night I
found bow It was. Her husband Is a
violin player who plays all night long at
some concert hall and sleeps the livelong
day. I'd rather work fdr my living
than keep the house quiet for a hus
band, who has to sleep all day, then
gets up Just at the time yon want to
go out for a little rollicking and plays
the violin somewhere." New York
Press.
Gathering Rotes.
I've gathered roses and the like In
many glad and golden Junes, bnt sow,
as down the world I bike, my weary
bands are filled with prunes. I've gath
ered roses o'er and o'er, ' and some
were white and some were red, but
when I took them to the store the
BToeer wanted eggs instead. I gather
ed roses long ago, In other days. In
other scenes, and people said,, "You
ought to go and dig the weeds out of
your beans." A million roses bloomed
and died; a million more will die to
day. That man Is wise who lets them
slide and gathers up the bales of hay.

It is not likely that any English
speaking people understand so keen
and punctilious a devotion to the nice
ties of language as that which charac
terizes the French grammarians. We
may help ourselves to understand It
perhaps by reading a story told of M.
Lamany.
One night be awoke and sprang out
of bed with a wild cry. His wife came
running. lie was In alarm and de
spair. "Why, what is the matter?" she
gasped. i ' ' 1 "' '
"I dreamed," sold , the professor.
"Ob, I had a horrible, a heartrending
dream!" :, ." .
"What was It?'
"I dreamed I was talking, and I dis

Couldn't Mitt the Chance.
One scarcely looks for humor In an
undertaker, but that this, like most
rules, has its exceptions was proved
recently in Scotland. A tract distrib
uter bad affixed this text to a tree on
the highroad, "It is appointed to man
once to die." This was too good an
opportunity to be missed by the local
purveyor of coffins, who promptly
added the following announcement:
"Funerals economically furnished by
