Johnny Bounce and I were school
mate* and fast friends. Johnny was
younger than 1. but stronger. Every
boy wbo could II k me availed himself
of the opportunity Just for the fun of
It. Johnny could lick most of them
aud, notkhig that I needed a friend, he

was soon let alone. Indeed. 1 am not
sure that 1 dl l not Impose <>u some of
them, knowing that a dread of John's
big fist would deter them from giving
me a deserved punishment.
When we left school to go out into
the world (we were pretty big boys
then) I said to John Bounce: “Johnny.
I want you to understand that 1 owe
you a whole lot. If 1 ever get a chance
to make a stand off for what you've
done for tne. I'll do It."
“Oh. you don't owe me anything.

both get along pretty well."

to get out 10 cents when I noticed the
fellow looking at tne with a quizzical
expression.
“You don't know me, Tom?"
“No, 1 don't.”
“I'm Johnny Bounce.”
My heart sank, for I knew that the
world had been too much for John.
However. I gave bis hand a warm
grasp, asked him to sit down and tell
me what he had been doing. He said
he hadn't bad much success thus far.

Chess Word Wanderers.
An Interesting set of word wander
ers clusters about tbe game of chess.
“Shah." tbe Persian word for king,
was corrupted In French to “escbec,"
which lias been transferred Into Eng
lish as "check." Our verb and noun
check. In most of the common uses,
lias arisen from the cry of “Check!"—
literally “King!" or “Look out for your
king!"—which Is given when a player
puts bls opponent's king In danger.
When a player bas put his opponent’s
king In such a condition that be can
not be rescued be cries “Checkmate!"
a corruption of the Persian “Shah
mat!" or "The king Is dead!" The
chessboard was called In old French
an “escbequler.” From this word are
derived our "checker,” both verb and
noun; “checkers,” tbe name of an
other game played on the same kind
of board, and “exchequer,” so called
on account of the checkered cloth on
which accounts were formerly calcu
lated.—Minneapolis Journal.

The Blushing Tree.
The blushing tree gets Its name from
tbe change of hue it assumes when
the rain falls on It. As the drops
drench the leaves, gradually but un
mistakably the green tint gives way to
pink. In a few minutes tbe green
fades from sight. Only In a few half
hidden spots beneath broad branches
and on Its trunk Is there a Huge of
green to be seen. After an hour or
more, when the shower Is over, the
tree assumes its familiar green once
more. Certain tiny insects, and not
the tree Itself, change color These
peculiar parasites are possessed of the
power of chameleons, In the warm
sunshine they are greener than the
tree on which they live, but when the
chilly rain falls upon them they con-
tract their tiny backs and become a
pretty pink Iti tint. Millions of these
change the entire appearance of the
tree and make it seem to be blushing.
Perfectly Correct.
A young minister in the course of an
eloquent sermon on the pomps and
vanities of the world staggered his
congregation by exclaiming:
“Here am 1 standing, preaching to
you with only half a shirt on my back,
while you sit there covered with gew
gaws and other baubles.”
The next day a parcel containing sev
eral brand new shirts was left at bls
house by one of his hearers, a kind
hearted old lady. Meeting tbe donor
a few days afterward, he thanked her
exceedingly, but expressed much sur
prise at receiving such an unexpected
gift.
“Oh.” said the lady, “you mentioned
In your sermon on Sunday that you
had only half a shirt on your back.”
“Quite true.” added his reverence,
“but you seem to forget that the other
half was In front”—London Answers.
Dresden a City of Pleasure.
Dresdcu Is essentially a city of pleas
ure—of fair, wide prospects, of hearty
river life, of zest in nature and art.
Even the public buildings cluster about
lite Elbe Just as the blits of the first
settlers clustered. A circle of Wendish
herdsmen's huts on the right bank. a
line of fisher shanties on the left—these
were tile unlikely beginnings of Dres
den in the sixth century. But the set
tlement lay at the only point In the
river valley where a ford was practica
ble, tempting the Germans to settle on
the left bank between the Wends and
the swamps, or Seen, unlovely places
that have long since disappeared, leav
ing behind only the names Seestrasse.
Ant See and Seevorstadt. Indeed, the
very name of Dresden Is derived from
the Slavic dresjan, which means
"dwellers In the swamp forest."—Rob

Not So Short.
He was supposed to be a poor but

was admittedly n thing of beauty.
“Will you tnnrry me?" he asked.
“No." she answered.
“You are very short.” he muttered.
“Ditto," she replied, “That's why
there Is nothing doing In tbe matri-

"Oh. I don't know," he sneered, as
he extracted nn obese billbook from an
Inside pocket and displayed a number
of $1.000 bills. "I’m not so short.”

How to Prov* Coins.
The lady behind the counter at one
of the London stores wrote out the
bill for my purchases on a little mani
folding book, which reproduced her
writing by means of a carbon paper on
tbe page below. Then she took tbe
half sovereign I tendered In payment
and, placing It on the upper page,
pressed it hard down with her thumb.
I asked tbe reason. "We have Instruc
tions,” she explained, "to take tbe Im
pression of any coin received by means
of the carbon paper in tbe book, See
