For instance, in my native Pendleton
some of tr.e mothers used to cut the
children's hair. They did it with
shears and a bowl. The operation
was often painful, and the result was
never elegant.
"In Sifnday school a Pendleton
teacher once told her pupils the trag

she turned to a little boy:
" 'What do you learn, Joe,' she said,
'from the Samson story?'
"'It don't never pay,' piped Joe, 'to

NOT A MATTER OF LOYALTY.
Simple But Insuperable Reason Why
Subject Could Not Kneel
Before His King.
One fancies that few types of men,
can, from time to time, have afforded
royalty more amusement of a quiet
sort than provincial mayors of-England.
"From the Foreland to Pen
tance," by Clive Holland, contains the
story of a mayor of Weymouth who,
during one cf the visits of King
George to the town, was destined to
afford "comic relief" to a ceremony of
some importance.
The occasion was the presentation
of an address of welcome to the king,
and we ore told that the mayor, on ap
proaching to present It, to the aston
ishment and dismay of all, instead of
kneeling, as ho had been told to do,
seized the queen's hand to shako it
as he might that of any other lady.
Col. Gwynne, tho master of the cere
monies, hurriedly told him of the
faux pas, saying: "You should have
kneeled, sir."
"Sir, I cannot," was the reply.
"Everybody does, sir," hotly asserted
the colonel.
The mayor grew red, and evidently
much upset, exclaimed: "Confound it,
sir, but I've got a wooden leg!"
History records that "a smile suf
fused the face of her majesty, and the
king laughed outright." Youth's Com
panion.
Laundry work at homo would bo
much more satisfactory if tho right
Starch were used. In order to get tho
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that tho
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects tho wear
ing quality of tho goods. This trou
blo can bo entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can bo applied
much more thinly because of Its great
er strength than other makes.
Quite True.
Marian, a little three-year-old, Is
very stubborn. One day, when she
was fretful, her mother, wishing to
engage her mind, attracted her atten
tion to a cow in a vacant lot and asked
what it was.
Marian replied, "hoss" (horse) and
stubbornly refused to give In. Her
mother, wishing to get a correct an
swer without scolding, asked: "What
eats grass besides a horse?" "More
hoss," was the quick response. De
lineator.
Sheer white goods, in fact, any fino
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to tho way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would bo equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
tho goods. Try Defiance Starch nnd
you will bo pleasantly surprised at the
Improved appearance of your work.
Athleticism Extraordinary.
"Why," said the first athletic boast
er, "every morning before breakfast I
get a bucket and pull up 90 gallons
from tho well." "That's nothing." re
torted the other. "I get a boat every
morning and pull up the river." Unl
