Stars And Dews And Perfumes

: By Robert Louis Stevenson

Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof ; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face cf Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to the people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield. All night long he can hear Nature breathing deeply and freely; even as she takes her rest, she turns and smiles; and there is one stirring hour unknown to those who dwell in houses, when a wakeful influence goes abroad over the sleeping hemisphere, and all the outdoor world are on their feet. It is then the cock first crows, not this time to announce the dawn, but like a cheerful watchman speeding the course of night. Cattle awake on the meadows; sheep break their fast on dewy hill sides, and change to a new lair among the ferns; and houseless men, who have lain down with the fowls, open their dim eyes and behold the beauty of the night.

He Needed Reassuring

"You sold me a car two weeks ago."

ttYes, sir.tt

"Tell me again all you said about it then. I'm getting discouraged."

Let us endeavor so to live that when we come even the undertaker will be sorry.-Mark Twain. to die

THAT STOPPED HER!

The newly rich woman was trying to make an impression: "I clean my diamonds with ammonia, my rubies with Bordeaux wine, my emeralds with Danzig brandy, and my sapphires with fresh milk."

"I don't clean mine," said the quiet woman sitting next to her; "when mine get dirty, I just throw them away.,'

Legs

Legs to the right of us, Legs to the left of us, Legs in front of us, How they display them ! On they go trippingly, Daintily and skippingly. Frost that bites nippingly Does not dismay them.

Straight legs and bandy ones, Bum legs and dandy ones, Awkward and handy ones, Flirt with the breeze; Round legs and fatter ones, Thin legs and fatter onesEspecially the latter ones Showing their knees.

Knock-kneed and bony ones, Real legs and phoney ones, Silk covered tony ones, Second to none, Straight and distorted ones, Mates and ill-sorted ones, Home and imported onesAin't we got fun?

THAT'S ASKING TOO MUCH

A boy entered a country store and addressed the storekeeper: "Gimme a dime's worth o' asafoetida."

The storekeeper made up the package and the boy said, "Dad wants you to charge it."

"All right, what's your name?"

ttShermerhorn.tt

The storekeeper scratched his head. "Take it for nothin'," he exploded. "I ain't goin' to spell 'asafoetida' and 'Shermerhorn' for no dime."
