In the peaceful quletudo of a sum mer evening, a red-faced cook put her head out of the window of a sub urban house and shouted: "Thieves! Police I" at the top of her lungs. Instnntly all was confusion. The neighbors left their houses, and a per- f Necessary Secrecy. ! MI Tltnessed a queer episode this afternoon," snld the city cousin who was visiting in Wayoverbehlnd. "As I was strolling past an alley I heard, emanating from the open door of a ' barn, such peculiar sounds that I was moved to Investigate.

"To have my revenge on the police man, ma'am," Martha candidly con fessed. "The brute's thrown me over for the cook across the way, and he was Just sitting down to supper there , when I called out 'Police !' and made him run.

"Oh, that's Hon. Heck Hooper," replied the village cousin, "and that Hbbeiish Is a sort of a cipher.

But I don't know us the law could make her do It." "No, you can't pinch her for that," greed his friend, Patrolman Mike Klrby, la the noon comment at the meeting of the beats, "but I tell you what you could do."

I When we painted our kitchen, we; found a number of cracks In the plastering that had to be filled. A painter told us to use plaster of parts mixed with some of the paint we were using. It does not set as quickly as when mixed with water, nd It does better tlmn putty for such work. For mending the cracks in a white celling, where the heat had caused the white coating to peel off. we mixed the plaster of parls with turpentine and oil, and were sur prised to find how well It covered tb tnirtghtly phi cos. Exchange. Hint Brought Results. The sexton of a certain church the other afternoon had conducted a party round the ancient edilice, and, despite dropping more than one "gentle 'int," it appeared as if the sexton was to go unrewarded. 1 In the porch the leader of the party paused a moment "I suppose," he said, "you've been here many years?" "Forty," replied the old man, "an It's a werry strange thing as when-: ever I'm a-showlng a party out o' the porch they alius asks me that question or (with emphasis) the other." i "Indeed I" smiled the visitor. "And what may the other be?" "What I calls question number two," , replied the sexton, calmly, "is just this ! 'Sumlwell, is tips allowed?' And Samlwell alius answers, 'Tips is al lowed !' " ! msn Yitnt wan tnVn so wna tt i Correct Heat Records. Why does a weather bureau ther mometer show lower temperatures in hot weathc-r than the thermometer at the corner drug store? asks the Popu lar Science Monthly. When discrepan-:U-s exist, they are due chiefly to the fact that t lie olHcial thermometer is installed in a wooden cage, where it Is opt a to the air, but screened from both direct sunshine and the heat re ilectcd from surrounding buildings. Only under such conditions does a thermometer measure- accurately the temperature of the air. A thennoniott r in the sunshine be comes ium-1: butter than the air around it, and ii.s reading simply tells us how hot the instrument is, not how hot the ;:ir is. n larg cities the weather bureau thermometer is often installed on the roef of a 1 n .u ! building, where the temperatures tHi'lVr somewhat from !h se 'prer-Hiiig at the street level.
