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.

the pest of clubs for quite a time
she began to. annoy her neighbors
by coming to their homes to spend
the evening and reading to them the
latest “ inspirations.”
The other evening sjje went to the
Lanes’. There she had to wait un­
t il the half deaf grandfather had
talked his fill before she had a
chance at her reading. And she had
just finished one on “ Jade Flowers”
and was half-way through “ A Maid­
en’s Dream” when grandfather’s
fretfuT voice came from the next
room,—to which he had been ban­
ished, “ I don’t see why you’ve put

graph again, Mary Ann. You know
it makes me nervous.” — Indianapo­

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.
