Little Jakey's Good Time.

Detroit Free Press.
"Jakey, my angel, please don't I"
1t was the shoemaker on Michigan
ave. who spoke, and Jakey was his
five-year-old son who was playing
with a revolver in the shop.
Isn't it rather dangerous 2" in
quired customer who was having a
"lift" put on the heel of his boot
why, | suppose so, but Jakey
won't put it up
"Why don't you make him ?"
"Oh, he'd cry and howl, and his
mother would rush down and abuse
me. He's my step-son, you see, and |
have to haadle bim carefully Jakey,
darling, please put up the deadly
weapon before you kill some one"
II won't !"
"You see how it is" said the shoe
maker in humble tones. Hell prob
ably shoot one or the other of Us be-
fore he gets through fooling, but we
are helplessp
Say, boy !" called the customer,
is that thing loaded ~
"It's got bullets in.n
''Then you put it up p
II won't"
Come, Jakey, dear !" pleaded The
step-father.
Il say won't
"I'll be hanged if you don't p
growled the customer, but before he
could rise up the weapon was dis
charged and the bullet raked across
the shoemaker's skull, cutting out
swath of hair and drawing blood.
I'll brain the cub - shouted the
customer, but the shoemaker rubbed
his head with one ha I'd and held out
the other to detain him, and said
"Say, don't If you lay a hand on
him his mother will brain me! Jakey,
Jakey, dear, please put up the pop
per-
II won'i!n
At that moment his mother came
down stairs and shouted:
"Ot course you won't, and FIJI stay
here and see that you have fair play!
The idea that my boy can't have d
little fun, when he's been sick for two
whole weeks Go ahead, Jakey, aud
have another pop at old Pegs p
The stranger grabbed his boots and
left, and as be went out the shoemaker
gave him look which read:
on see how it is. and don't blame
mel"

very particular that every word of
speaker particular temperance speak
ers) shoul go into the paper. The re-
porter who brings in the longest re-
ports has his salary raised every
week. and an order for new suit of
clothes once month.
What does the financial editor do ?
Generally he talks most of what be
has least on band-cash, and after
talking column of grand cash, eats
fifteen cents lunch and wonders
where his new spring over coat is to
come from.
What is the business of the scien-
tiEc editor
He smokes the glasses that we OBJ
serve eclipses through, and at times
and places takes observations through
other glasses.
What is the duty of the dramatic
editor
To get 500 from theatre manager
every time he writes favorable no.
tice of new play.
What idea is born into the world
