For ten minutes Mr. Stubb had been
stumbling around in the darkness
looking for the kitchen stove. The air
was cold and his temper was hot.
"John, are you still down there?”
called Mrs. Smith from the top of the
stairway.
"Yes. I'm still here," bellowed John
in his most sarcastic vein.
"Dear me! You'd never do as a gun-
ner in the navy "
"Gunner In the navy? Why not?”
"Because you are such a poor range
finder."
And then what Mr. Stubb said about
ranges in general would fill an ency-

in sea water for two or three days and
then distilling. Two oils pass over, one

All Paris is laughing at an adventure
•n the French frontier line which oc-
curred the other day to a young dra-
matie author well known in Paris.
He is newly married, and part of the
honeymoon was spent in Belgium
While there the bride was very aux
lous to buy lace, which is much cheap
er in Belgium than it is in France But
the bridegroom objected to snuggling
the lac j through and told his wife at
Felgnles the customs examination was
very severe. She laughed at him, and
in the train she said, "I am quite sure
that I could easily have smuggled any
amount of lace under my dress."
To prove himself right and teach
his wife caution for the future the
bridegroom whispered to one of the
custom house officers at Felgnles and.
pointing to his wife, who was not
looking, said, "I think that lady has
some lace."
The officer made a sign, and ms
dame, protesting angrily, was taken off
and searched, while the author smok
ixl a cigarette and chuckled nt the
thought that the search although he
thought she had no lace- would cure
her of the wish to smuggle in the fu
tun*. He ceased chuckling, though

Some little girls were boasting of
their respective families. They had
passed from clothes to personal np-
pearance and finally came to parental
dignity. The minister's little girl
boasted:
"Every package that comes for my
papa is marker! 'D. D.' "
“And every package that comes for
my papa is marked M D.,‘ " retorted
the daughter of the physician.
Then followed a look of contempt
from the youngest of the party.
"Huh!” she exclaimed. "Every pack-
age that comes to our !i use has three
