By what process of telepathy do pups and small boys know when schemes are afoot to give them baths? Old Yfdetide Cut torn Passing in England An old custom, now almost extinct, existing only in certain portions of rural England, was that of the Christmas "waits" who went from house to house, singing carols, or discoursing music from various instruments, not always harmonious, and yet under the' holy Impression of the season the wild minstrelsy rang out upon the frosty midnight air and fell upon the listening ear with pleasure. Not more than forty years ago In Great Britain, it was a common thing for these singers of the holy night to pass along the streets, pausing here and there to render some song appropriate to the season. The origin of this custom may. undoubtedly be traced to the Gloria in Excelsis, the song which the angels sang at the birth of the near Bethlehem. Those living In the vicinity of It declare there will be a noiseless airplane long before there Is a noiseless Investigation. The distant city with its towering buildings and promises of gay lifeis often an irresistible lure in the eyes of youth, seeking opportunity and excitment. True, the big city has its charm and magnificence, but these are not to be found readily by the young man or woman who goes there in search of a job. Better opportunities are to be found here in McHenry, where there is a greater and increasing demand for those who have vision and ability. The big city is full of fortune hunters, yet only a limited number can win out in the great struggle. Those who fall often lose heavily. The best advice that can be given the young people ft to stick to the home town and reap the rewards of faithful service to it They should remember that success is not a matter of geography. To be successful in McHenry, is to be accepted as a success everywhere. It is true they were from the same town. But this was their last morning dip together at the Florida resort. Tomorrow they would return home. And as he gazed at her charming figure, which was accentuated rather than hidden by her snugly fitting bathing suit, he sighed regretfully.

Fable: "Once upon a time a family moved, and Its furniture, when piled on a truck, looked very costly and at* tractive." What this country needs Is a temporary filling that becomes permanent If the patient neglects to go back to the dentist' Fairy Story: "I am only In my flrst year at college," said the young man, "so, after all, my opinion does not especially matter." Paris, It Is reported. Is weary of tourists. Which Is the sam« as saying that a shopkeeper hatee to see a customer come in. Not Quite Sure The demure young woman signed her name in the hotel register "Mrs. T. Brown," and asked the clerk whether there were any letters for her. 1 don't suppose," he said, taking one from the rack, "that this could be mesnt for you." And he handed her a letter addressed "Mrs. T. Browne." "Oh, yes," said the young woman, eagerly, "that's mine I I recognise the writing!" "But you spell your name differently," said the clerk. "You spell it 'B-r-o-w-n,' while the name on the letter has a final 'e.'" "That's all right," she replied. Tm never quite sure how he spells It" "Who?" "My husband, of course. You see, we've been married only two days 1" Hard and Soft Solders Soldering operations are classified, according to the composition of the alloy used, as either soft soldering or hard soldering.

She, of course, lives a few miles down the .course of the rivulet and, he hopes, Is at this very moment seated somewhere on the bank thinking the same thoughts that absorb him. Love making is Just as queer among the Indians as it is when it takes possession of the pale-face youth. A stranger was walking along country road and happened to pass an orchard. The farmer had pastured his hogs in the orchard and the stranger was attracted by their very peculiar actions. They were running crazily about and looking up in the trees. The stranger thought the farmer should know about it, and so he stopped at the house and told him. The farmer laughed and said: "Well, sir, there is something funny about that. Last spring I broke my leg and when I was able to get about I had to use a crutch, and when I fed the pigs I used to rap on the trough with the crutch to call them, and now those woodpeckers nearly drive them mad." There is such a thing as overdoing this looking on the bright side of business. The other evening, I was at Jones' and Jones, you know how absent-minded he is.

When the paper was returned, It bore a short annotation. The professor had drawn a musical clef and Inserted a single note--K flat Beneath It he had written, "Sing this!"-- Touth's Companion. Mr. Ginsberg, the Florida realtor, died and went to heaven, where he became a member of the Trans-Styx Country Club. He immediately began to tell the other members about the subdivision which he could have sold for ten million dollars instead of one million if he had held it for six months longer.
