"There's some people," said Mr. Ilnr
rlngton, "thnt'II get all tbey can out of
a boarder for his board an' charge
blm extra for the toothpick. If I
hadn't had Insurance on tbe place, I'd
V let thnt feller put his automobile ln
our barn here."
"Does It hurt the Insurance?" asked
Mrs. Harrington.
"Course It does. If anything should
set Are to the barn, while the automo
bile Is there, nary n cent of Insurance
do you get. That's why I sent him
over to Hetty Young's. She ain't got
nny Insurance, nn' I guess she could
take the risk fcr the money she got.

right.'
" 'Miss Young treat ye well?'
" 'Oh, yes. Itut she hns a queer no
tion of making out a bill.'
" 'Overehurge ycV' I says, knowing
Betty's wiiys.
" 'Well,' he says, 'she's, charged mo
for things that I clearly ain't had,
though she may ha' lost 'em.'
"Then ho handed me the bill Betty
had made. It was queer.
" 'Supper, breakfast nnd night's
lodging. "3 cents.' That was nil right.
" 'Keeping one nutomoblle In tho
burn six days and nights, a dollar and

Then came other Items.
" 'Damage for burning green wood,
on account of not being nbie to get to
the dry wood-pile becnuse I wns afraid
o' the automobile, two dollars.
" 'Cost of ono calico skirt, tore In

A story Is told ot u distinguished
diplomat from Japan who was the
guest of honor nt a dinner ln Wash
ington. After the Brst two courses of
oysters and soup, as Uie waiters were
bringing In the fish, he exclaimed:
"WhntI Can anyone possibly want
more to ent?" During the remaining
six courses he opened bis mouth for
the exclusive purpose of conversation.
When his abstemiousness was com
mented upon, he said: "I am satisfied.
I feel bright nnd wide awake. If I
were to cat ns much as you do, I
should fall asleep, and then I could not
make my speech. Most of tho men
around tills table nro fat, because they
cat too much. It Is a misfortune to be
so fat I am stronger and healthier

When the volcanic eruptions In Guat
emala last year covered tho coffee lin
ens it wns believed thnt tho Industry
wns ruined ntid tlmt Guatemala hnd
received a blow from which recovery
would bo slow. Many planters aban
doned their nsh covered plantations
and believed themselves ruined. Hut
the activity pf the volcanoes wns fol
lowed by heavy nnd long continued
rnlns, which washed nwny a great deal
of the ashes nnd Incorporated more of
them with the Ml. The mill nlso
seemed to blench the nshes nnd extract
from It n llipild fertilizer which proved
of great benefit to the coffee trees. The
result Is a crop nearly as largo again
ns Inst year. Hereafter when the
volennoe of Guatemala erupt and
spout nahe the only unfortunate coffee
planters will be those whose linens nre
