ANECDOTES LONG STRETCH IN KITCHEN The wife of a Dakota farmer, whose home was isolated in the midst of a vast prairie, suddenly lost her reason, and was bundled into a straight-jacket and into the nearest asylum. “Now what do you suppose could ’a went wrong with the old woman,” lamented the puzzled husband to the asy lum attendant. “Why, man alive she ain’t been out o’ the kitchen for 20 years!” Play. Gather nuts. Read Psalm 121. Fatten that porker. See the foot ball games. Do your Christmas shopping. Get in trim for bowling. Watch your bonfire closely. Invite friends for an oyster sup per. Plant bulbs of tulip, crocus, daffodil. Make a jack-o-lantem for the youngsters. FAIR TRADE The minister had just finished with the wedding ceremony when the groom, a plumber, moved overj to him and said in a low whisper, “I’m sorry, parson, I haven’t any| money, but I can stop your gas meter from registering.” It’s Etiquette Courtesy in speech as well as in deed is one of the first requisites of a happy home and an enjoyable business life. The words “thank you” cost little but mean much. Shouting at long range is disturb ing to others, and it has actually been declared a matter of health that table conversations be main tained on a pleasant plane. Benjamin Franklin says in his autobiography, “My father liked to have at the table some sensible neighbor or friends to converse with, and always took care to start some ingenious or useful topic of discourse. By this means he turned our attention to what was good, just and prudent.” Complaints about today’s high living costs and meat shortages do not make the best dinner conver sation when so many pleasant topics are well within our grasp. GUESTS OF THOMAS A. EDISON PUMPED WATER FOR GENIUS Thomas A. Edison had a very beautiful summer home in which he took groat pride. One day he was showing his guests about the premises, pointing out the various labor-saving devices. Turning back toward the house, the guests found that it was necessary to pass through a turnstile which took considerable force to turn. “Mr. Edison,” asked one of his guests, “how is it that with all these mod ern things around, you still main tain such a heavy turnstile?” Said Edison, his eyes lighting up with laughter, “Well, you see, ev eryone who pushes the turnstile around, pumps eight gallons of water into the tank on my roof.” RADCLIFFE DEAN THWARTED Dean Briggs was once one of the speakers at a formal banquet >t Radcliffe college. In prepara tion for the event, the chairs had been given a coat of varnish. The evening was hot and humid, and, as the speakers rose to deliver their remarks, it was with some difficulty. The dean was more than equal to the occasion. “La dies and gentlemen,” he said, with a rueful backward glance, “1 had expected to bring you this evening a plain and unvarnished tale, but circumstances make it impossible to fulfill my inten tions.
