Poor Hen.
A couple of Pennsylvania farmers, a
man and wife, drove from their farm
to the nearest raihvay. The man,
small a;id scared, sat meekly beside
his wife, who filled two-thirds of the
seat, anc only spoke to command.
Finally the station was reached. The
woman hustled in, settled her numer
ous bundles, and sat down. Looking
over her goods and chattels, she sud
denly missed something, and looking
about, discovered that her husband
had remained outside on the platform.
She rapped sharply on the Avindow.
“Hen!” she called, pointing to the
bench beside her, “(^ome set.”

The best kind of exercise Is the
kind that makes you forget that you
are exercising—in other words play,
says a physician. It’s a good scheme
to have some more or less strenuous
game for a hobby—golf or bowling
or tennis or archery—anything that
appeals to you and affords ezeroise

that systematic exercise Is not a good
