How He Wanted His Picture
Taken.

Yesterday young man with a
wart on his nose dropped in at the
Sherman photograph gallery and
remarked that he wanted some
pictures taken.
"Will you have it standing or a
bust p queried the artist.
Bust! !" exclaimed the fellow, as
he picked up his hat. "Bust !
Mister, do l look like man who
would come into picture gallery
to get on q bust y
They explained to him, and final
ly persuaded him to sit long enough
for negative. The picture was a
good one, and the nose stood out
like black cat in bay window.
The fellow looked at it, and as
he handed it back said:
"Shoot again, old pard, and see
il YOU can't make the wart look
like a piece of chewing gum
They told him that it couldn't
be done.
"Well, see here now, pard," he
pleaded, "my names Trufiies, and
I'm engaged to girl back in Inji-
ana, and she wants my picture.
She don't know I've got this wart ;
it's growed since ! left there; and
if you could just rub it out Of the
picture and make it look like some
thing that she's familiar with-a
slice of bacon, for instance-Pd
feel better"
They fixed it up for him, and
when he went out he chuckled:
"That'll fetch her; she'll just
naturally think rm hoatin' round
in solid comforts like bacon and
string beans and sich."

TnH1inm the Risk.

The other day a colored resident
of Vicksburg found a bottle of
whisky in the suburbs Of the city,
and halting a pedestrian he inquir-
ed:
"Dat's whisky, amt itl'
"Smells like it, and / guess it is"
was the reply.
"And dere ain't no pizen in it ?"
"Well, there may bel can't
tell l shouldn't want to drink it."
"If dere was pizen I'd be a dead
niger, chl"
"You would"
"And if dere wasn't any pizen
in it I'd be wastiu' a pint of good
whisky q
Eyes"
The finder turned the bottle over
and over and over, smelled Of the
contents three or four times, and
finally made ready to drink, saying :
"Dere's heaps of pizen lyin' round
loose, but dere's also heaps of mig
gers in Vicksburg, an lie gwine
to tip up de bottle an run the
chances Z"

After / left there had a curious
adventure with a shark. / was
down on a nasty rock bottom. \
man never feels comfortable on
them; he can't tell what big crea-
ture may be hiding under the huge
quarterback sea leaves which grow
there. The first part of the time
| was visited by porcupine fish,
which kept sticking its quilts up
and bobbing against my helmet.
Soon after / saw a big shadow fall
across me, and looking up there
was an internal shark playing
about my tubing. 1t makes you
feel chilly in the back when they're
about. He came down to me slick
when / looked up. l made at him
and he sheared off. For about an
hour he worked at it till / could
stand it no longer. If you can
keep your head level, its all right,
and you're pretty safe if they're
not on you sharp. This ugly brute
was twenty feet long, | should
think, for when / lay down on the
bottom he stretched considerable
way ahead of me, and l could see
him beyond my feet. Then |
waited. They must turn over to
bite, and my lying down bothered
him. He swan over three or four
times, and then slkulked off to a big
thicket Of seaweed to consider. /
knew he'd come back when he'd
settled his mind. 1t seemed a long
time to wait for him. At last he
came viciously for me, but like. the
time before he was too far from
my arms. The next time | had
my chance, and ripped at him with
my knife as neatly as | could. A
shark always remembers he's got
business somewhere else when he's
cut, so off this fellow goes. 1t is "a
curious thing too, that all the
sharks about will follow in the
trail he leaves. | got on my hands
and knees, and as he swan Off /
noticed four dark shadows slip af-
ter him. l saw him no more that
time. They did not like my COM
pany.

ers for other assemblages than tho
home group. Many father comes
home tired; he has worked hard
and talked a great deal, told anus
ing anecdotes and displayed much
wit. He has to come to rest. He
takes out his paper and is soon OBJ
livious to everything around him.
Wife would like to tell him many
of the little harrassing Affections
Of the day, and would like to hear
some Of his interesting experiences,
but if he were q deaf mute he
could not be more silent, only an
occasional grunt answering her
many attempts at conversation
and the children, except the good
night kiss, and often not even that,
are not noticed. Such q home,
whether the abode of wealth or
otherwise, cannot be a healthy one.
AS a parallax draw around the
evening lamp Of another home cir
Gle. The father tells the anecdotes
from the paper as he reads them
the mother laughs her sweet, low
laugh, and the children burst into
merry ha! has To watch them
as they ask questions and listen to
the answers and patient explana-
tions, the wonderment, interest,
and thought imprinted on their
young faces is picture for an
artist.
This home education is a heri-
tage more valuable than land or
money; and one beautiful recoms
pense in life is that in making
others happy we bring happiness
to ourselves. Parents who prac-
ticc self-denial and endeavor by
cheerful conversation and playful
wit to cnliven home life, will reap
a rich reward in the better thoughts
and nobler actions Of their children,
and will experience the truest and
best contentment themselves.

Home Conversational Train
ing

The Baltimore American writes:
There is no nation more fluent in
conversation than the American.
The French are more voluble, per-
haps, their language permitting a
greater rapidity of RECOMMENDATION
than the English. Our best con-
versationists are not rapid takers.
One trouble with us is, each one
likes to do all the talking; there
fore Americans are not good listen
ers. But mere talking is not con-
versation. In almost oil home cir
cles there is much talking done
during the day, but we fear there
are few who do not reserve theil
most brilliant conversational pew
