ghe Project Seemed an Easy One, but I¢ Wasn't. We had come to the conclusion that qe ought to » our turn at giving a ty, so my wife and I sat down to fig- gre out whom we should invite.

“How about the Browns?’’ I asked.

“Oh, they uever go anywhere!’’ she geplied.

“Well, the Smiths?’’

“Oh,"’ said she, ‘‘they make me tired! ‘They think a party can’t be given

l’ll show them No, we don’t want them; but there are the Joneses, ’’

“Not much,’’ said 1, putting my foot down flatly. ‘‘I won't have that woman jp my house. We'll drop them forth- with; but the Jenkinses might do.”’

“Oh, I wouldn't dare to invite them. Their boy bas the diphtheria and they might bring it to our children. The Whites, however’’—

“No; he owes me money and won’t pay. I won't have him around until he does. Neither can we invite the Greens for the opposite reason. It would be per- sonally too embarrassing. However, we em ask the Placks'’~

“Not much. She didn't invite me to ber party. We can’t invite the Barlows without making enemies of the Wil- kinses, and vice versa. The Williamses won't go where they do not play cards, aud the Tuppers where they do, and’’— “Well’’—

“We don’t know another soul town.”’

“Then I don’t seo how we can give a

y at all.’’

“Neither do L” | So we didn’t.

Where They Come From,

After reading about microbes and an- imalcules little Toddles had been puz- ging his juvenile brain to discover where they came from. At last he hit upon what be cousidered to be the solu- tion. ‘‘Obviously,’’ said he, ‘‘germs come from Germany. ''—Nuggets.

“They say that the Italian count she married turned out to be an organ grinder.”’

**Well, at any rate he had a handle to his name. ’’— Srocklyn Life.

Very Much One, Meadowbrook—I hear Morris ccn- tructed a misalliance. Dyker—Yes, poor chap; he married a girl who thinks golf stupid.—New York Journal.

HE NEVER: LOVED A LORD.

Bat His Five €irls Married Titles, Al? the Same.

It was evideut that he was not only pretty well satisfied with himself, but that he didn’t care who knew it.

**Five daugbters,’’ he said, ‘‘angd ev- ery one of them married to a title That’s a pretty good record for a man who wouldn't be considered rich emough to buy more than one high grade title.’”’

**] don’t see how you did it,’’ sug- gested the man who knew nothing ex- cept that the husband with a tithe was ordinarily quoted ata pretty stiff figure.

‘Oh, it’s easy when you kuow how,’’ replied the self satisfied man. “So far as | am concarned 1 would have prefer- red to maxsy the girls to enterprising young Americans with no titles, but their mother insisted upon getting them something more fashionable, and when their mother insists 1 have to hump myself aud see that things come the way she wants them. 1 confess it was something of a problem aft first, but when | got it figered out im my mind and began playing the cards it was so easy that I was inclined to be ashamed of myself for not trying something harder. ’’

The self satisfied man stopped long enough for the listener to suggest that he would be glad to hear the story, and then, in view of the fact that they were all married and publicity could do no harm, he told it.

“IT took all my available assets,’’ he explained, *‘and made them a dowry for my eldest daughter. Naturally there was a rush for her, and she was able to take her pick of five. I rushed matters as much as possibie, got her married, gave up the dowry I had promised, and then steered her titied husband against the Stock Exchange. where I| gave him some bad tips, took his trades myself through a broker and won back all the dowry and part of his ances*ral estates. Then | gave the dowry to my second daughter, got her married and played the same game with her husband. I worked the scheme right through the family, until I finally married my youngest to a baronet yesterday. I got them to postpone their wedding trip for a few days, so as to give me a chance to win back the dowry before they had spent any of it, and by day after tomor- row 1 expect to be on Easy street again, Without a care in the world. if girls must bave titles, why, | am in favor of giving them to them, but 1 don’t believe in contributing large fortunes to the support of the tottering monarchies of

don't intend to do it. ’’—Chbicago Post.

ARMORED PLANTS.

Thorns and Spies That Protect Plants From Their Enemies.

‘‘Plants and ‘heir Enemies’’ is the title of an article by Thomas H. Kear- ney, Jr., in St. Nicholas. Mr. Kearney Says:

There are a thousand things that threaten the well being and even the life of every tree and shrub and lowly herb. Too much heat or too little works great harm to plants. Then there are all manner of wasting diseases caused by other tiny plants called fungi and bacteria. Many large animals, as horses and cows and sheep, live by grazing the herbage and grass or browsing the foli- age of trees and shrubs. Of course they greatly injure the plants they feed upon and therefore many plants are in one way or another protected against such attacks.

Did you ever stop to think why this- tles are so well armed with sharp prick- les or why the ugly roadside nettles are furnished with stinging hairs? Notice cattle grazing in a field where thistles or nettles grow. See how careful they are to let those disagreeable plants alone. That is the reason for the stings and the spines. See this honey locust tree bristling with its horrid array of three pointed thorns. What animal is brave enough to try to rob it of its

_leaves or great pods? Hawthorns, too,

and rosebushes and blackberry briers all have their sharp little swords and daggers to defend themselves against browsing animals.

Out on the wide, hot deserts of Ari- zona and New Mexico those odd pisn‘s, the cactuses, grow in great numbers. Some cf them take strange shapes—tall, uted columns, branching candelabra or mere round balls, like the melon cactus. They are almost the only plants that grow in some parts of that country,and there is always plenty of sap inside their tough skins. ‘To the hungry and thirsty crea- tures that roam those drearp wastes in search of food and water they are very tempting. Were they not im some way protected these cactuses would soon be entirely destroyed, but nature has made them to be like strong forts or great armored battleships among plants. They are guarded by all sorts of sharp spines aud prickles and fine hairs that barn whens they get into the flesh.

Wegation,

Tixis was overheard on the Bangor boat :

First Woman—If I married a man what drinked and I knowed he drinked when I married him I wouldn’t never pay nothing about it.

Secand Woman—I wouldn’s nueither. He’s got so bad now that she don’t never expect nothing different.—Shoe and Leather Reporter.
