A Puzzled Young Man.

A young Chicagoan and his country
cousin went into Washington street
restaurant one day last week for lunch.
81 will take some of this spiced musk
allonge," said the Chicago young man
to the waiter. Give me some of the
same" said the guest The orders were
filled and the diners began manipulate
ing their knives and forks and molars.
But the country cousin did not seem to
enjoy the repast. He looked at his
companion out of the corners of his
eyes, rolled morsels of the food about
on his tongue in puzzled way, eyed
his plate suspiciously, and in other
ways gave evidence of his perplexity.
In this half-hearted way he continued
for some time, evidently determined,
after the manner of countrymen in a
big town. to be surprised at nothing
and TO let nobody know that he was not
a regular customer and to the city man
ner born. But at length his amazement
could no longer be confined, and slam
ming his knife and fork down upon his
plate with bang that startled all
within hearing. he blurted out:
well. I'll be DANCED if this isn't the
funniest muskmelon ever l et!''- Chico

walked around the room, and wrung
his hands and moistcned his profanity

In the morning it was discovered that

house had bereft eight hens of their
heads, but the rooster had escaped. He
owed his life to the fortunate circum-

tax upon the article. From the original
to impose tax of ten cents the Senate
has made cut to two cents, and the
minimum penalty clause has been

made to have the tax restored to five
