"No safety-deposit-vault red tape for me!" declared the woman who cannot help being the wife of a very rich man. "I keep my jewels in a shabbv old trunk in my own room There isn't even A lock on it. I naa to force it off one time when I d mis laid the key." "Evidently you don't encourage enterprise in burglars," observed one of her hearers- "All a man would have to do would be to raise the lid. You might at least give him a little trouble." "He'd have trouble enough," said the woman mysteriously. "Our coachman's brother is an old sailor a perfect artist in knots! and he showed me how to bind up the trunk in the most complicated way, and no burglar could possibly untie it. He wouldn't know the combination." The only man in the. group grinr ned. "Of course," he murmured re flectively, "no mere man would ever dream of cutting those knots."

Upon the counties falls the heav iest end of the burden. Awkward. An untimely biting frost effectu ally completed the mischief done earlier by the insect enemies of Mr. Barden's potatoes- The tops of the plants, which had served as pastu rage for the pests, were entirely de stroyed, and with them Dr. Barden's hopes of a crop. He was not selfish, however, and could think of others in the hour of adversity. Going to town in the af ternoon, he was accosted at the post office by James Hayes, an intimate acquaintance. "Hello. Giles! How's everything up to the corners?" "Trouble enough, Jim, trouble enough!" was the gloomy response "Ten million 'tater-bugs, and noth ing for 'em to eat!" John D.
