W OULD MAKE H IM REFUND
A local collegian had one of his
books stolen from hint. He looked
high and low, but could not find the
volume. Somebody had taken it,
tlia t was all.
So he walked down to a book store
that deals in second-hand books and
asked to see a copy o f the hook he
was after.
A very nice specimen was handed
out to him.
He examined i t carefully. •
Sure enough, it was his book!
“ This was my book,” he told the
book man. “ But, of course, I ’ll pay
you, all right.
He put the wrapped book under
his arm.
"N ow I ’m going to find the bird
that tobk this book and make him
refund,” he said.— Washington Star.

BEST KIND OF FUEL
To prevent smoke from house
hold fires use fuel which cannot
smoke even when no care is taken
to prevent smoking. A fuel, with
less than 10 or 12 per cent volatile
matter in it, such as anthracite coal,
containing only 3 to 4 per cent vol
atile matter, and coke are admirable
fo r this purpose.
