Man of sorrows, you have been slandered. It never occurred to me until that day on the train that the groceryman does not put the big ones on top and the little ones down underneath. He does not need to do it. It does itself. It is the shaking of the barrel that pushes the big ones up and the little ones down. Shake to Their Places You laugh? You don't believe that?

"No," I replied, "if you put an inverted plant-pot there everybody will guess that you are hiding a mushroom underneath it. Just put a scrap of newspaper over it." "But that might get blown away!" "Fasten down one corner of it with a hairpin." Eliza said that I was certainly one to think of things. I believe there is truth in that. On my way to the station I happened to meet Mr.

There was a large flat stone, sharp-edged and coated with mud, lying underneath. "I thought so," he whispered. "Jove, he's gone a long way with it, too!" he muttered, looking upward.

"I'm painting him in," said Wilmer; but as she came toward him he turned the canvas dexterously. "No," said he, "no. I've got my idea from this. To-morrow Marshby's going to sit."
