why She Didn't Believe a word the
Paper Says.


T. Paper Says.
! sJohn,n said Mrs. Sanscript to her hus
band one evening last week, ''I've been
reading the paper"
That's nOthin'," grunted John. I've
seen people before who read newspa-
pers.;'
Eyes; but there are several things in
the papers can't understand"
'.Then don't read EN-"
''What do they mean about the strike,
John? What is strike, anyhow"
IA strike is where they have struck"
and Sanscript knocked the ashes from his
cigar.
IL don't grasp your meaning, exactly"
said Mrs. S., with. puzzled look. Now,
these strikers have stopped all the rail
road trains in the country. Why did
they do it?'
10 prevent en- from running"
ssYes, but why didn't they want trains
to run?''
Because they wanted more money for
running them."
do they pay more money fer stopping
trains than tor running them?"
mo, you stupid woman"
Then why in the world did they stop
'em-why didn't they run more of 'em or
run 'em faster? Seems to me that would
pay better"
''Mary Ann, you will never surround
the problem"
MAYBE not, John. Some things are
gotten up purposely to bother women.
Now, here's column headed Base Ball.
What is base ball. John?"
Don't you know what base ball is !?
Happy woman? you have not lived i'll

Here it says that The Hartfords could
not collar Cummings curves What

NO, you BOBBY"
'rhen how does he deliver it ?'
Il mean pitches it,"
''Oh. Now here it says Jones muffed a
ball after hard run. What was the
tall doing after a hard run?''
Hadn't you better cOnfine your re-
search to the obituary and marriage col

Yes, but John want to know, There's
Mrs. Racket, over the way, who goes to
all the base Dall games, and comes home
TO talk me blind about fly fouls, brace
hits sky scrapers,' AMI all those things.
For heavens sake, John, what is a sky
scraper?'
Compose yourself, old woman. You
are treading on dangerous ground; your
feet are on slippery rocks, while raging
pillows roll beneath"
''Mercy onIne. What do you mean?"
Il mean, my dear madam; that when
ever woman begins to pry about among
three strikes, fair balls, base hits, daisy
cutters. home runs, and Kindred sub

One of the most important items in
the family expenses is the clothing, es-
pecially since there Is so much Of what
i called "cloth" made up for boys and
men, that will hardly hold together.
With the average family the income Is
limited, and the prices Of shoddy arti-
cles are so small that there is strong
inducement TO purchase the so-called
''cheap" goods. II Is perhaps not too
much To say, that the majority Of peo-
pie buy low-priccd clothing. But, as a
matter Of fact, they are the most expen-
sive goods that can be worn. a strong,
fine-textured, well made article will out
wear at least three Of this poor material,

sidering the amount Of wear, 10 say

pieces, the necessity Of daily repairs.
with the unsafe feeling when one steps
little high, or puts on an unusual
strain. The excuse which we have sug-
gested for buying such goods we know
is hard one to meet-being in the ma
jority of cases the want Of money 10 get
better goods. But il Is better 70 make
the old coat last little longer, and put
all the money into the rest Of the suit,
and when the money one will soon have
to find TO supply another cheap suit is
at hand. get a good coat As wise
and economical rule, one should never
purchase any thing but good article.
But the care Of clothing Is very i'm
portant matter. II makes great diff
ference in the look and wear Of d hat or
coat, whether they are thrown down on
aloungc or chair when taken flor ere
fully hung up. With two boys the cx-
pense of their clothing Is often nearly
onc-half in difference mainly. as we
think, because one Of them will ALWAYS

While Brother Beecher was saying
this and much more TO the same pur-
port, 1900 policemen were watching
1900 saloon-keepers, trying to prevent
the violation of the Excise law, or, as
the next best thing, catch them at it,
and haul them before the courts the
next day. The result was something
over 100 arrests. The only trial re-
ported was that Of Mr.. Kroner, who
begged to be excused because he WAS
christening a baby and killing flies.
