'■ The Catch. t A man remarked that he came from - a very large family. . "How many of you at\ there?" he d was asked. "Well," there were ten of us boys," he said, "and each of us had a sister." "Good gracious I" exclaimed the '■ other. "Then there Were twenty ofyou?" d "No," said the boastful man, "eleven." His Honor's Gums. • - In Ireland some years ago an Irishr American was brought np before JusI tlce Barry on the charge of suspicious j conduct. The officer who arrested ' him Htated, among other things, that ® ha-^vas wearing a "Republican hat" "Does your -honor know what that is?" asked the counsel, i "It may be." responded the Judge, c "that it's a hat without a crown." I * ■ B That Would Be Enough. A gentleman took his little daughter to a toy shop to buy her a doll. . "Now, what sort of a doll would yon like.. my dear?" 'sold he, as a large as- - sortment was placed on the counter by the shopman. After soma hesitation thfe little girl replied : • "I think I'd like to have twins, » please." ) i-* t Most Llksly. "Well, at any rate," remarked the flat dweller. 'T don't hnve to pay- any r gantxe bills." "Ho4r 'much Is your rent?" "Three little . rooms and a trick • kitchen cost me $100 a month." , "Don't flatter yourself. Some ofi that money helps to pay your landr lord's garage bills." In Doubt. "Is this letter Intended to convey gratitude or what?" "What does he say?" "Thanks me for passes to the racei track and says he lost $40." Suggestion Ignored. "The Information that D'AnnnnzIo was going into a monastery doesn't ' appear to be verified." "That wasn't Information," rejoined Mlas Cayenne. "Thnt was s hope."

' state committee of which Former Governor William N.

The Near East Relief Ims'been raising money. In New Jeigey for more than three years and before the state committee 'commits Itself to a budget for another yenr In support of the i ten ihcsuapd Armenian orphans | "udopted" by the j>eople of the affite it has been decided to send Mr. ZelI chenko to make a survey. The state committee of the organization Is com ! posed of hard-headed business men I and. like other contributors, they want to "know how .the money has been spent and what ore Jlie chances of the- Armenians . becoming self supporting. ; 'The Truth About Armenia i "If conditions are hopeless I will' tell you so. upon my return," snld the state secretary In accepting the mission. J "On - the other hand, If I find that children are still starving, mothers are still wandering over the plains from one orphanage to another tn^senrch of their Infants torn from , thero by the Turks. I will say so when I come back and will apja-iii to -the people of New Jersey for support worthy of the cause." The trip Is not without Its dangers i for part of it will be In the territory , still bald by the Bolshevist", who are • not friendly to the American relief organization. It Is to places Ilka Bbtum and Erivso. recently wrecked by ths bortea from Rossis, that tbe sec- ' rotary/ win go, for little word has from these places.

made famous by th0reau , -Beautiful W a Idee Pond Chiefly Noted •a One-Thee Heme of the Noted Philooopher. l For some two years and three 1 months Tboreftn lived beside Waldeii pond, and "Wajden" Is probably the best known and characteristic of hi* works. At what time did Jhe era of . snobbery in nomenclature begin In Massachusetts and turn so many good old ponds Into "lakes"; Walden pond ' was duly made "Lake" Walden. It Is about a mile aputh of Concord and must look as Tboreau used to see It/ remarks the New York Times. The scenery of Walden Is on a hum ble scale, and, although very beaut!r ful, does not approacfi to grandeur, nor can It much concern one who has not Jong frequented It or lived by Its s shore; yet this pond Is so remprkable j for Its depth and purlky as to 'merit a f particular description. It Is a clear ; and deep green well, half a mile long and a mile and three-quarters In circumference, and contains about 61% scree-; a perennial spring In the midst of pine and oak woods, wltKout any visible inlet or ontlet except by the clouds and evaporation. The surrounding bills rise abruptly from the water to the height of 40 to 80 feet, though on the southeast and east they attain to about 150 feet respectively within a quarter and a third of a mile. They are exclusively woodland. FOUNDER OF SUNDAY SCHOOL Robert Raikea, to Whom Honor Is Oerv- - e rally Given, Said to Have Borrowed the Idea. Robert Ralkes of Gloucester Is often set down as the founder of the Snndny school.. writes an EugUsh correspond- . ent, but nothing Is heard of Emmanuel TWynnlng. the shepherd of Magpie Bottom, Slu'Piiscombe. Gloucestershire, from whom Koikes got his Idea. Mag-, pie "Bottom Is a beautiful crinkle at the edge of thij Shecpscombe, where the laig- departs dowr. the valley, at last reaching Gloucestershire. The young man nlnst hnve been up here to take a. service; At any rata, as he went by Magpie Bottom /here was Shepherd Emmanuel Twynnlng In that thyntescented little paradise, with a ring of children round h|m, explaining perhaps pastoral parables of the "New Testament. Master Bob Ralkes stopped. » perhaps joined In a hymn an J talked to the shepherd, asking him how he "went on" when the weather was not so favorable. He was told lhat on wet-- days some handy cottage sheltered the class, and that, come wet or fine, there wns a class every Sunday. During the walk back to Gloucester the thought took root and. without I the thyme and the marjoram and the Inconsequent chirruping of grasshop- ' pers, Robert took up Ills shepherding [ In the dark streets of the cathedral i , city. Men of Great Height Siprles are common among the lower clvlllted peoples, as well as among I savage tribes, to the effect that men. | , have lived whp have measured 15 feet in height. Og. king of Bashan, Is said | In Deuteronomy <3:11) to have been ' the last of the giants. His bedstead J of iron was nine cubits, or between 1 U and ' 13% feet In length. Pliny I - mentions the name of an Arablau j giant who measured 9% feet, and also speaks of two others iwho wore ; ' 10 feet In stature. The following ; list of men whose real height Is well known shows that It la possible for ' Individuals to go far beyond the aver- ' height of the human species, which Is 65 inches. Magrath, bishop Berkeley's giant, ■ ninety-two inches; Patrick Cottar i (1761-1804), or O'Brien, 90 Inches; , Ohgries Byrne. Irish giant, 100 Inchee ; i Toplnard's Kalmuck. 100 Inches; i Austrian (died 1887), ( 103 Inches; Toplnard's FUftnrxkr, 112 Inche*. , . i Riches In Old Stockings. "To my sister-in-law, I bequeath ' four old stockings which are under , bed to the right." So run; an Item , In the will of the famous old miser, , 'To my nephew, Tories, two | more old Mocking* ; to Llent John , t a blue stocking and my red t clock ; to my cousin, an old boot, and red flannel pocket ; to Hammlck, my Jug without Or handle." According to | this anybody can write a will, for the { poorest of us have old stockings. In ■> tbe Story of Tdianr, however, Ham- , mick kicked over the Jug and found ! to be filled with gold pieces. The e old stockings were crammed In a slm- r way.

The porcelain would never dry, and the first time I took a bath I'd get my person covered with It and would have* , to go. to the taxidermist for relief. "Last, summer you had another great scheme for saving our hard-eBraed d0ublooti8. You pointed the lawn swing and never said a word to me about it. . After dark, I took a seat.

The neighbors had to come over and pry me loose with spades and things - before I could get away. My raiment was ruined, and It was a salt I had worn only three seasons. You explained to me afterward that you thought yon'd be saving money by painting the swing yourself. Your passionate fondness for the kind of economy that Involves spending money has brought these gray hairs to my sideboards and made nie old before my time. "There's only one reliable way to save money, Mrs. Jumesworthy. Salt It down. Put it In a tin can and solder the lid down' tight. If you go to tbe druggists and grocers and hardware men, and ask thein how tp economize, they'll try to sell you something that will put you In Easy street. I don't I blamw them for It.
