up the receiver.
. "'In a minute;' he said; 'I will be

"I started to hurry my last words

"I was anxious to say a few words

but tn minutes passed without his
returning. I walked up and down the

button at the end of his desk where
his hand had rested, and through a

surprised to hear the telephone bell

"I mad an examination, found the
telephone connected with nothing but

FOR SHAME!
Joe was a delicate little fellow who
had never had any associates of his
own age. Then, too, he was very
modeBt. Missing him one day his
mother went out Into the back yard,
and this Is what she saw: The tur
key gobbler was strutting around with
every feather stretched to its limit,
nnd little Joe was trotting behind,
slapping him gently once in a while
and saying softly, "Put down your
clothes! Put down your clothes!"

THE TOWN OF AFTEIl TEN.
By Carolyn Welis;
I wlsht I was as big as men;
To see the Ttjwii ef After Ten;
I've heard It Is so bright and gay,
it's almost like another day.
'!ut to my bed I'm packed off straight
When that old clock strikes half-past
eight
it's awful hard to be a boy
And never know the sort of joy
That grown-up people must have when
They're In the Town of After Tert.
I'm sure I don't know what they dd.
For shops are closed, and churches,
too.
Perhaps with burglars they go round,
And do not dare to make a sound!
Well, soon I'll be a man, and then

Varied Mental Diet. .
Monotony of thought Is the destruc

and give yoiir mind a varied diet.
Force yourself to put away ail
thoughts of your life work for a few
hours every day, and for a few weefc
every year. Learn to be frivolous if
you are engaged in serious wo: It and
learn. to be serious if your work Is of
a humorous or light character. The
brain, like the body, needs more than
one kind of food to keep in health.
