"Better not begin now. then." she warned
"Would you ear to refresh your memory

"No-o. no-e-e," I slowly pondered.
"What Ion; no's .we have!" aha mar

"Or, lack of It." aha corrected.
"I don t ever expect to be president,'" I
growled.
"I suppose you aspire to head an Insur

"Humph: Humph! I thought I waa an

"Eligible tor the presidency," she ex
plained.' When you reach thai age some

"And I bet you won't give ba' k the gift,

I remarked. ' I suppose you would be

"Aunt, 1 think, would express it more

"Huh: And in rase of a White House

"la I suppose anything ao absurd," (he
commanded. '1 shall never"
"Kveti admitting the opportunity may
bow be lacking, the glitter of marrying a
woman president would attract the most
Irresistible. elegible bachelors," I asserted.
"And then what? Would our histories
show a hyphenated name for the say,

"Ah. but remember women are in the

proudly.
"What In thunder do you know about
the electoral vole?" I asked aghast.
"Whj. .they're the only votes cast to
elect anybody and not the kind where
the people vote on measures, aren't they?"
she ended a bit tamely.
"Exactly." I breathed, relieved. "You
read that other somewhere, I suppose?
Hut you wouldn't want rne to be like
Washington."
"Why not?" she queried- -
"He you'll pardon the personal nature

"What does that matter to me?" she de

"Just like two cherries!" I murmured,
looking at her mouth. "George and I had
one similarity of taste, at least."
"And just then his father appeared,
don't forget that," she reminded, listening
for any footfalls in the hallway.
"Father forgave Mm nobly for owning
up." I added. "And then, when George
said farewell he embraced everybody in
the room."
"Are are you leaving soon?" ahe asked
shyly.

liior to IJorni(ial who observed local
; ;s lorl.v writes InterestinRly to the

i .(., iaklnd peroti in Portugal who thinks
! ),-. language anil tries to speak In
l . i.ii-us of the country Is a great
; I t producer.
i v.- Instance, you aver marry anybody in
1 i. usal, unlMis strsnite paradox you
1 apt-cu to be a pH?t. You marry "with"
j . ir b loved Maria, and the priest mar
1 1, s j ou both. In the .ame wsy, you never
tin am about anybody, but always "with"
When the landlady ai your Krami noiiiw
lad:inc out your soup, you call out. "Ar
rive." You are tellins ber to arrive at
the stopping point; Jn other words, that
you don't want more than she has put out.
When you see a child that you want to
fondle at the other side of the room, you
aay to ber. "Arrive here." and the child
promptly 'arrives.-' When we speak of
walking, we refer to a certain use of the
legs; but the Portuguese verb "to walk"
baa many more significations. In Portugal,
not only do the people walk, but also the
trams walk, the train walks; a balloon
walks, and a boat walks, ftranger still,
the handa of the clock walk around the
face! A clock, by the war. never goes; it
works.'
I'nleea jrou are very intimate, or very
rude, you never say to your fair partner
at dinner. -Will you have some bread, some
wine, etc?" You Inquire, "Will your excel
lency have some bread V or, "Will the lady
have soma bread 7"
In spite of the winter you are never cold
In Portugal, unless you are a corpse. You
are "with" cold. In the same way you are
entertainment, you tell your companion
that it "makes" dark.
If In speaking; of her husband a wife
says he is a "tame" man, she merely means
that be is a man of peace and justice.
The word "house" m4ns more than with
us. Your buttons share your own privilege
of living In a house. The button holea are
called "houses" of the bottons. The square
on a chess board are also "houses."
You don't say. "I'm going to shave."
You say, ' I'm going to 'do' the beard."
Neither do you aay on the way to . the
barber's, "I'm going to get my hair cut,"
but you say. "I'm golog to cut my hair."
W hen you are in Portugal you have I
twenty lingers, but no toes. If you want
to make a distinrtion, you aay. "Fingers of
the hand,' or "Fingers of the foot." In
stead of telling, the servant to eet the table.
you tell her to "put" It. When you go to
the theater, you "as.- 1st " You mean that
ou are there.
Residents In flats who meditate taking a
holiday in Portugal will be relieved to hear
that no one plays the piano there. They
merely "touch" it. Neither do they ring
the bells. They "touch" them also. But
they "play" stones, meaning that they
throw them; and a ship at aea "plays"
when It pitches and tosses.
Be careful how you tell your landlady
that you Intend to dine out. or ahe may
think that you Intend dining "outside," I. e..
in the garden. In answer to the kind In
quires of your friends, don't say that you
are well; say that you are "good."
A "sleeping" bridge means a bridge that
bi Immovable mot a draw-bridge). Stag
nant water also 'sleepa." So do trucks or
trains that wait anywhere during the Bight.

at least I think I am by that mirror over

Why, the way that girl behaved waa sim

Johnnie on the sofa and I must say I waa

havlor at times, and if ahe is going to
carry on like tbet with Johnnie I shall flirt
with Archie.
She's awfully keen about him and thinks
he'a very much in love with her. though
privately I can't ee It. I believe if I gave
him a chance oh. well, of course, ha may
prefer her. Agnes is pretty good looking,
though I don't care for that kind of a
figure niseif.
The day after she had behaved so out
rageously she came around to ee me and
actually had the nerve to say, jokingly,
she had noticed how I had flirted with
Archie the night before. She said be was
such a nice boy. She said: "Mr dear, for
that my room looked lik a chorus girl's.
1 told her that perhaps It did, but hers
Agnes netdn't think 1 Jon l notice her be- generally looked the same way, except that
1 ft
I. WsSMl by me
goodness sake, why don't you play around
with htm a little? I'm sick and tired of
him, and the poor fellow naturally feels
pretty blue about It. I'd be really obliged
to you if you'd be kind to him and take
him off my hands a. little." j
I grinned. Who would have thought I
could get such a rise out of Atnes! I
guess she's deeper than I thought. She
was iiv my room and I will admit it looked
a trifle upset. One can't change one's
clothes in an awful hurry a number of
lim-s and have one's surroundings look
immaculate. I tried to fix It up a little
by putting some shoes and slippers behind
the door, but found I had already put some
hata there. I was trying to think of some
thing neat to say to her in regard to her
actions' with Johnnie, when she observed
hers waa more like a real hard working
chorus girl's.
She said coldly that she thought a pitch
fork would be of great assistance to me
and offered me ten dollars for my lavender
satin dresa that cost a hundred and twen-
i ty-flve that she had Just fallen oyer. 1
elmply looked at her.
I said, although I was a little hard up
and she knew It, I wasn't quite as easy
as that. I said I wss quite willing to make
a little money, however, and I bad re
ceived an invitation the day before to Mrs.
Vanderbllllon's dinner, and I would allow
her to look at it for a dollar and smell It
for two dollars. She said, thank heaven
she hadn't been asked, as dinners like that
tired her to death. I told her they were
going to dunce afterward and she could
have had a good rn 11, en.
We haven't spoken since.

el'r about a burglar breaking into the
jail at Warrior Run. in Pennsylvania, and
robbing a lone prisoner of I'J and It cents.
And then 1 thought how much happier a
fellow is even on a South lakota claim In
winter thn If he was In jail. Sometlmea,
on gloomy days, I used to Imagine this
cUitn holding stunt wua a good deal like
bir.g in Jail. Now I know different, for If
a burglar came alonv; he'd be wasting his
time. I'd make him stay oxer nlpht and
give him a good, strong doie of fat pork

they get luavy.

other day about going prowling one day to
kee what he could discover in the way of
a nice, gentle cow animal. tie :i.t one
that locked as if lie riiiant do, although
she waHii't much on looks at that. Next
day he started home, when another mill'
lover Inveigled him into a trade, to uve
traveling lilmscif. As a result Hi) friend
got a blind horse, an old democrat wagon
and a mil! bunch of hens, and he was the
tickl dett man that ever drove home. The
horse wss quite active and strong an4 bit
a hole In the manger the first day. so my
fru lid made up his mind to trade lilm off
in the sprlnR or toonrr. Having no use
for the wetton. he first traded that for
five hens, a farmer's pair of ss'lutes ami
a lejii.T watrii t hain wltb a picture of
lig Hill Taft on it. i
Then one day his watch lost time and
he gt a hankering for an alarm clock
tliat would wake him up to keep his fire I
going on cold nlKhts; so lis traded thir-
teen hens (or an old )ecimen of tne nol-
