NUGGETS OF FUN.

By BOB ElEDLLLE.
Sometimes it happens that even a
poet Is reformed by the evangelist proof
reader. This occurred in the case of
young SapholiO, of Cinnamon County,
who wrote his first poem with the open
inn line, Al watched her kneel in sud-
den hope" and had the pleasure -
though his was nothing to the pleasure
of other readers-Of reading it, Il
washed her knees in suds an soap"
He never sang again, and TO this day,
whenever he has truuble with an editor,
he cuts his club from the willow
whereon he hanged his harp.
An old Vedic hymn, over three thou
sands years old, contains the line, my
mother-in-law detests me-" So, you
see-H'm. What? Wasn't going to say
nothing of the sort. Was Just going to
say thar you can see from this that
there We're detestable men even among
the HindoOs three thousand years ago,
and probably even longer ago than
that. Wasn't thinking about a mother
in-law.

Does Your Wife Act So.

At s o'clock yesterday evening, as ]
was hurrylng from my fashionable
boarding house to the theater, was
startled to hear a grOan, which issued
apparently from a ne ghboring lamp
post, and was followed by the words
-Oh, Lord / won't have dinner before
9 o'clock. In the gathering gloom
distinguished my young friend Smith,
els, who was happily married some
months ago, and has delightful home
and hrst-rate dinners.
@Why, Smithers, I said, @are you
III? Perhaps 1 had better go home to
dinner with you" ! had already dined
but could have dined again-wIth
SmIthers.
Not tonight, he replied, YEARLY.
We won't have any dinner tonight.
You see, my boy, Mrs. Smith9rs is in
there, and he pointed to the windows
of the residence IN front of which We
were standing. @They are having a 8
o'clock tea. They have been having it
now for three hours. By George, lust
smell that coffieel" And Smithers
groaned heavily.
"Wel, why aren't yOI IN there tOO2
1 asked. There are other men in the
house. I can see them pass the win
dOWs.
~It's because I am married, said the
disconsolate Smithers. At this par
ticular sort of a social event no mar
ried men are allowed only married
women, unmarried women, and bache-
lors."
well, what are you loafng around
in the cold for, then ?"
ooh, i am waiting for Mrs. Smithers
told her / would be here at o'clock,
and she could tap on the window to let

Has she tapped?'

IL height I'd - of waveg ii l.

THE height and size of waves Of the
ocean in a storm has always been an
interesting topic of discussion IN scien-
tific circles, but the difficulty of meas
uring or even estimating them VIII
never permit the question to be set
tied, writes W. E Curtis in the Chi
cago NeJgS. I have seen waves that I
thought were twice as high as the
Washington monument, and have been
in a ship when the royal tOpgallant
was carried away by the force Of the
water when the wind could not bulge
it an inch. The Captain Of the steam
er estimated that these pillows were
from 80 to 100 feet high. Tidal waves
so and 90 and even so feet high have
been reported, and very often the sea
rises to an altitude Of 100 feet; but the
highest altitude to which the pillows
of the ocean have ever been thrown by
the force of the winds is reported to
the lighthouse board by the Iight-keep-
er at Tillamook station, Oregon. The
storm which visited that coast in the
early part of December lasted seven
days, and was the severest ever known
on the Pacific coast The lighthouse
is built on a rock which rises go feet
above high-water mark. and the local
plane OF the light is 50 feet higher
still The action of the sea was so VI
oIent that the water rose at least %
feet above the tower. SCATTERING the
storm panes, and extinguishing the
light. 1t is said by member Of the
board that there is no other authentic
record of the breaking of the sea at
such a height.
