Tyson and Botts Kept in Water for
Hours by Two Fool Friends
Emerged Therefrom In Most
Unchristianlike Mood
They take boarders out at Dr
Jones and among them are Messrs
Tyson and Botts two young men who
are engaged in business in the city
One day in July after supper Ty
sond and Botts went down to the
tjx vn iir beano u a it iui an duuu an uic J
left the house two or three of the
other fellows hinted that it would be
a good joke for two of them to dress
in womens clothes and go over and
scare Tyson and Botts
So several of them borrowed some
skirts and hats and other female fix
ings and after assuming them start
ed toward the creek
The two swimmers saw them com
ing and began to paddle up stream to
get out of their way The female fig
ures came nearer and took seats on
the bank of the stream so close to the
clothes of the swimmers that thera
was no chance at all for Tyson and
Botts to sneak out and dress them
selves hurriedly And the supposed
women sat there in the most aggrava
ting manner while Tyson and Botts
stayed in the water shivering
Presently they got up to go tha
swimmers thought but to the horror
of the latter theyperceived the wom
en get Into a boat and begin to paddle
up stream They went very slowly
and so Tyson and Botts had time
enough to swim farther up in order
to get out of the way
The boat followed them up for about
a mile and then Tyson concluded to
do something to explain the situation
to the ladies He was beginning to
feel sick
Accordingly he shouted at the top
of his voice and Botts shouted but
those idiotic women still continued to
pull up stream The swimmers ware
almost crazy and at last they made a
dash for the bank and hid behind the
bushes
Then the women in the boat turned
round and began to row down the
stream Botts and Tyson got in the
water again and swam after the boat
The women landed close by their
clothes and to the amazement of the
swimmers picked them up and began
to walk off with them Then Tyson
and Botts became excited and swam
in close to the shore to hulloa at the
women and then the women began to
laugh and the victims of the joke saw
just how it was
When they emerged from the water
they didnt Join in the merriment
They seemed gloomy and sad As soon
as Botts got his shirt on he went up
to Peters and shook his fist under his
nose and said
You red headed idiot Ive got a
notion to bang the liver out of you
Oh you may laugh but if you ever try
any of your jokes on me again Ill
murder you Now you mind me
Tyson and Botts will board else

One of Lord Desboroughs best
anecdotes relates to a clergyman who
was far more at home in the hunting
field than in the pulpit says Tit Bits
On the morning of a meet he was
much annoyed at having to officiate
at a funeral but this over he mount
ed his horse and started in pursuit of
his friends On the road he sought
information of an old woman with a
donkey cart
Well she said if you ride to the
top of Ihe hill you will come to a
meenister then If you turn to the
right you will be likely to come up
with them
Handing her a shilling he said
My good1 woman why did you call
the signpost a minister
Why you see sir Its like this
we used to call em signposts but
since youve been in these parts we
calls em meenisters cos though
they points other folks the way they
never goes themselves Go on

BY JOANNA SINGLE
Copyright ign by Associated Literary Press
Mary like the other flowers was
out in the early morning exploring the
greenness of the grounds of her
friends house She had come the
evening before and was new to the
surroundings At a turn in a winding
path she met a fair headed young man
iu white flannels who could not re
move his hat because he wore none
but who bowed charmingly She an
swered in kind looking at him grave
ly
I know you are Miss Mary Sum
ner he said
And I know you are Frederick Den
ton She held out a pretty hand
which he took while he murmured how
glad he was but she interrupted
But you arent glad you know
You expect to be bored beyond meas
ure and you didnt want to come be
cause you knew I was to be here but
you couldnt refuse your sisters par
ty Am I not right
Her charming dark face was flushed
and sparkling and she seemed to
speak in a hurried soft breath He all
but stared
What makes you say that Wont
you tell me
Play fair she begged You know
perfectly well what our families are
up to dont you It was his turn to
flush but he laughed
I wish they had minded their busi
ness but you are right Of course we
are expected dutifully to fall In love
Of course I dont have to Its all over
the first glance did It Now if you
could
She shook her head
Dont be polite she laughed her
brown eyes mocking him Its horrid
io De planned for Lets make them
suffer We both have spirit enough
not to be captured by the machina
tions of my mother and your sister
Im glad youre really so nice You
might not have been charming
Youve been talked into my ears until
I nearly hated you and I knew you
must have felt the same about me
I never doubted that you were all
they said he
admitted only as you
say lets make them uncomfortable
But lets be good friends in secret
Will you
She nodded and they sat down upon
a rustic seat to talk it over gaily
while birds sang and the fulness of
late May bloomed about them
Lets be stiff and distant and al
most rude and indifferent before the
others
And get up early every morning
like this and talk it over Will you
He held out a brown hand and she
laid a white slim one In Its clasp a
moment
He gave her hand another little
clasp and let it go She rose and pre
pared to go He noticed how tall and
graceful how very lovely and digni
fied was her bearing
Remember she reminded that
we have not met We must not be
seen together you might come in a
little late to breakfast Ill be stiff
And Ill be cool enough to blight
every rose on the place He watched
her go away and almost wished that
Alice Shaw had not made love a thing
far from him and left a raw wound
hard to heal
When Denton appeared where the
others were all seated at the informal
breakfast Mrs Rawson introduced
him to Mary he knew all the others
arid she looked at him an instant
gave a polite distant little bow and
went on with her talking to Mamie
Rosseter
Denton on his part had been for
mally courteous Neither had said one
friendly word though their families
had for ten years been most intimate
The hostess was astonished beyond
measure but too clever to show a
sign But whajLdid they mean She
watched them all day when they were
within range Neither went near the
other voluntarily and if any chance
brought them together they passed a
few most formal remarks She tried
seating them next each other at din
ner each talked to the neighbor on
the other side This went on for
nearly a week and the good lady was
in despair Finally she spoke to her
brother about it
I dont know what you mean Mat
tie Im never discourteous to a lady
Do you want me to gush What in
Bhort do you want
She was sj od and made haste to
retreat inwardly discomfited
I didnt mean you were rude only I
depended on you to help amuse her
shes the only strap- Of course
youre never rude I just thought as
her family and ours are so intimate
we ought to be unusually nice to her
Well I think youre mistaken she
seems vastly amused always in the
thick of things By the way where
does Molly Fairly keep herself morn
ings HaBnt Bhe grown stunning
She was an ugly enough little girl
I like her quiet manner dont you
Mrs Rawson deftly got away from
the Bubject Could Fred take a fancy
to Molly She was dangerously at
tractive and poor but had been asked
because of the hostess obligations to
the girls mother Later in the day
Mrs Dawson wrote Mrs Sumner
among other things the following
plaint v
My dear they simply dont see
each other Have we - managed to
overdo things Mary never looked
imore utterly charming but shes Icy
and I could shake Fred he doesnt
i4P
I
make the first effort to be more- than
vaguely polite Ive thought I caught
one or two knowing looks pass be
tween them but I must have imagined
it I ought to tell you that Mary Is
flirting in a refined but constant way
with Percy Kaylor I wish I hadnt
asked him And Fred does nothing
but moon and watch the mail bag He
gets a daily letter addressed in a
womans hand from Kenosha some
western place What shall I do And
I dont want to tell you this but its
my duty the other night when Edith
was in Marys room and they were
chatting and hair brushing Edith saw
that Mary had a slender chain around
her neck with a solitaire ring hanging
from it She seemed unaware that
Edith had seen it Of course Edith
told me shes a dear child and 1
bade her say nothing to anyone else
Supposing you come on for a few
days I told Mary I should ask you
Mrs Sumner came on with exceed
ing dispatch She dared not question
her daughter but could discover nc
chain no ring and no change in the
girl save that if anything she waa
prettier sweeter more dutiful She
t
had even taken to rising early for the
walks her mother had so long wished
her to take and came to breakfast
glowing and happy
Meantime in the mornings dewj
freshnes Mary and Frederick Denton
were having beautiful meetings Hfl
told her how he had a man friend out
west send him a letter addressed by
a stenographer on lady like envelopes
filled with circulars She gleefully
told him about the 5 fake diamond
and how Ediths eyes had bulged
while she Mary brushed her hair
and looked innocent They walked
into the country they went on the
river in a little canoe they read mag
azines and always they escaped be
ing caught together and approached
breakfast from different directions
Frederick usually from his room as if
he had just risen
But a time came when without
either knowing why a sort of restraint
fell upon them The young man re
doubled his efforts to be interesting
wondering meanwhile if she were not
tiring of his company One morning
she was late another too tired to
walk a little languid and silent A
few happy mornings would ensue and
then the constraint again He thought
of asking if he were demanding too
much of her but feared she would
think he were tired of it himself It
became uncomfortable and both were
less frank But in public they were
still just on the polite side of being
disagreeable to each other Marys
mother casually asked her why she
disliked Fred Denton The girl looked
at her wide eyed
Whatever put that into your dear
head He seems very nice Im sure
And she put another pin Into her soft
brown hair and went downstairs
Coming down to the porch a little
later her mother found her in a gale
of merriment over something Percy
Kaylor was saying And with a queer
look in his eyes Frederick Denton
watched her What did the look mean
And Marys gayety seemed somehow
not quite spontaneous
A few mornings later Mary did not
go into the garden at all and said at
breakfast that she had a headache
She was pale All day Frederick
watched for her but had only a word
alone
Im sorry you were not well he
said
It was nothing it soon passed
she answered
I missed you he said but she was
already moving away from him
He went angrily away by himself
and with his pipe in his mouth he lay
flat on the grass in a distant spot and
discovered what ailed him Of course
he had loved her fromthe first mo
mnt and had been a fool and had
lost her He should have openly
wooed her from the first second of
course It was Kaylor Men like that
always fascinate a girl just out of
school He hated himself vigorously
Frederick was up at dawn the next
day and out with a last hope Surely
she would come this last time I e
waited in the usual place but she did
not appear It seemed impossible He
searched his memory Tor any word or
look that might have offended her
And looking vaguely about he saw at
some distance beneath the trees of a
little wood a gleam of blue dress In
an instant he was almost running to
wards it It must be she it was But
she was walking swiftly away from
him He called to her ana she
stopped
T dont blame you for hating me
he gravely sald but why hurt me
more than you must You know I
love you Mary Why cant you at
least be kind as you were until a lit
tle while ago Does It amuse you to
hurt Then he saw that tears were
running down her cheeks and that
she held out both hands to him
After a long time he held her off the
better to see her f
I couldnt come any more I
couldnt bear it after I found that I
did care and thought you still
wanted Alice Shaw I couldnf trust
myself not to let you see how I felt
He stopped her in the most effective
way In the world it is impossible to
explain during a kiss which also does
away with oceans of explaining

By This Means Presence of the Dread
Disease May Be Ascertained fn ite
Incipiency and Its Progress
Checked
Most people nowadays have learned
that successful warfare on the white
scourge consumption depends
mainly on an early and correct diag
nosis As the lungs are invisible
ordinarily tuberculosis may not
manifest its presence with certainty
until the disease is too far advanced
to be controlled by any means now
known
Recently new hope has been given
to victims of this dread disease by In
struments In the X ray apparatus
which make the instrument capable of
revealing to its operator the very
earliest appearance of the germs of
consumption
So accurate have been the results
obtained that a careful X ray examina
tion of the chest is now the routine
treatment for all new lung cases the
symptoms of which give the slightest
difficulty to the examining physicians
in the receiving wards
The patient takes his place on a bi
cycle seat fixed on a pedestal Close
to his back In a large black box
which can be raised or lowered or
swung to one side or the other by a
delicate system of balancing weights
Is the X ray tube All but a small
area of its luminous surface is pro
tected by a lead glass screen so that
only a narrow stream of light falls on
the patients back When the patient
is in position the examiner puts on a
pair of thick lead glass spectacles to
protect his eyes pulls over his hands
a large pair of lead Impregnated
gloves and wheels into position be
tween himself and the patient a thick
lead screen four feet high
With a movement of his foot he
touches a button and the room is In
absolute darkness Then he waits
ten minutes until his eyes get used to
the darkness for experience has
taught that after the eyes have be
come thoroughly accustomed to the
presence of white light the sensibility
of the retina to the light of the fluor
escent X ray screen is increased from
fifty to two hundred times
With another touch of the foot the
X ray current Is turned on and the
bones and tissues of the patients
chest are visible on the screen The
upper parts of the lungs the points
most likely to be attacked first by tu
berculosis are then carefully studied
The patient is told to empty his lungs
of air by slowly exhaling his breath
The lung tissues become more pervi
ous to the rays and the whole surface
brightens in color
The failure of any portion of the
lung to brighten evenly with the rest
of the tissues shows some abnormality
and strongly suggests deficient1 air
entry to the part one of the earliest
signs of consumption
Woman Suffrage Plea
The feministic movement today is
the last stage In the struggle upward
Woman proposes no longer to be just
the pet the idol the slave the queen
she wills to be the equal of man she
feels in herself that power and Bhe
now claims her birthright Civiliza
tion as we know it has meant the
moving upward to light of one social
stratification after the other The
French revolution meant the upheaval
of the lowest stratum Our own move
ment is the final step In the achieving
of complete democracy Democracy
is averse to war A whole people
does not flame up In hate against an
other people It needs the incendiar
ism of the few or the brutal autoc
racy of one to force a conflict The
Roman republic is not a counter-argument
My democracy is a democracy
of millions not of thousands And
the millions who know how painfully
they have to piece together all the lit
tle elements that go to make up a
life are not disposed to smash and
destroy their handiwork Madeleine
