"What théy been doing now?" "I dropped into the hardware store this afternoon after a pound of nails, and while I was there Si came in. He was carrying a tea-kettle that needed soldering. Jim came up to wait on him, and Si just pointed to the spot that needed fixing. "Without saying a word, Jim took the kettle and went off into the back room, and Si sat down and began to read the newspaper. After a time Jim came back and handed the kettle to Si. It had 'twenty cents' marked on the side. "Si pulled out a quarter and gave it to him, and Jim put his hand into his pocket, took out a handful of change, picked out a nickel and handeds it to Si; and Si went away, carrying the kettle,. And, by Jiminy, neither of 'em had said a word.' ' "Well," said Mrs. Langley reflective 1y, "I guess if the truth was known there's a lot of talk goes on that ain't really necessary." Smoke Screen Reappears Over London. Smokeless, sootless and robbed of the weird atmospheric effects upon which many of its landmarks depend for their charm for three months, Lon- don has begun to regain its traditional aspect with the resumption' of coal burning in many of the factories. The Pittsburgh-like tone is rayidly being restored; buildings which had begun to look white and colorful are once more being coated with soot, while the medley of smoke-stacks, steeples and gables, hard and distinct without their proper" haze, are sinking back into the blurred outlines in which Whistler saw them. The city had been exposed--a very un-Venetian Venice under cloudless skies and bright sunlight--since the first days of the coal strike: The older they saw the familiar indistinctness | settle over the landscape. A gentle man in Kensington Gardens said yes- terday, pointing to a confused pile of masonry situated near the Serpentine: "That building has been perfectly hideous all summer. The architect who designed it did not take the miners' strike into account." There 1s no longer ground for the complaint of strollers in Hyde Park that they ihad = been sunburned during thelr stroll. 1 ra -- MONEY ORDERS, Dominion Express Money Orders are on sale in five thousand offices uroughout Canada.

Sandy, habitually a fast speaker, remarked, "Sen up sape, lad; a wee bit sape, quick." The attendant gazed open -mouthed at the two Scots. '"'Taint French, taint German, 'taint 'Wesh," he thought.

Daddy came home from the office early one evening, and mother had not returned from some friends whom she had been visiting for tea. Little four-yedr-old Gwennie ran up to her father's side. "Daddy," she cried, "I've been want- ing to see you for a long time when mother's not near." "Why, my little girl?" asked her father. "Well, dad, answered Gwennle, "please don't tell mother, because she's an awful dear, but I don't think she knows much about bringing up children." "What makes you think that?' ask- ed her father. "Well," replied Gwennle, "she makes me go to bed when I am wide awake, and she makes me get up when I am awfully sleepy." ef The amount spent on famine relief; {in India last year was $5,700,235.

Premier Hughes of Australia placed a wreath on the grave of the unknown warrior in Westminster Abbey this week which came all the way from Australia, says a London despatch dated July 80.
