In q Room with q Corpse.

1t may not be very generally known
that Geo. Oakes, of Santa Rosa, WHO'S in
the hotel business, is somewhat Of q
wag. He was keeping hotel some
where in the interior where was being
held a Methodist Convention. One
night belated and dusty Methodist
parson came into his hotel and asked
for accommodation.
You can't have it," said George !;
" we are full. | mean the house is
full"
The parson sighed and begged, but
as it was impossible to provide him
with a room he went away to look
elsewhere for shelter
Back he came again and begged the
privilege TO sleep on a billiard table.
q tell you," remarked George,
thoughtfully, there's lady sleeping
in the big room up stairs; but as she
is very hard sleeper, and it is very
difficult to awaken her, you may
sleep there if you are willing"
You won't tell any of my brother
ministers, will you?" asked the par
son.
81 swear it."
The oath and the parson were reg
istered
" Now, take off your boots" said
George, land get into bed very softly,
and will call you before she wakes
up"
The parson crept into bed. George
went down stairs, when down came
the parson after him with terror on
his face and very much undressed.
" What do you mean by putting me
in a room with a corpse ?" gaspe6 the
parson.
q" How the deuce did you find out
she was dead ?" remarked George,
indignantly.-S. F. Post.

A reiephane storY.

A girl over at the Telephone Tx
change has one less mash ON the
string--or wire-than a week ago.
She was in the habit of calling up a
particular Office about 6 p. NJ. every
day, and holding sweet converse with
a refined and cultured voice, which
evidently made its headquarters there.
The office is that of manufacturing
concern. The other day the Secretary
of the company fingered after his
usual hour, and unwittingly answered
the signal to the electrical tryst. The
young woman recognized the new
voice, and asked: "Who is the
Young man that generally is alone in
your Office at this timer" The answer
was why, that must have been
our colored porter. r."-Buffalo Express.

Foolish PreiiminarIes.

The "electric kiss" is all the rage
down East. The participants shuttle
their feet over a carpet until they have
taken on a load of electricity, and
then their lips shoot out sparks at the
moment of osculation. Ii is well
enough, perhaps, to take an electric
shock and a kiss from an Eastern girl
at one and the same instant, but an
ordinary man finds that Western
girls kiss is naturally electrical, and il
1t were charged for the occasion he
would die or be disabled.-Chicago

A Sensible Girl.

A young man proposed for the hand
OF beautiful girl. AS she hesitated,
he said, 81 await your answer with
bated BREATH" The girl, who is a
good deal of a humorist, said: "Well,
Mr.. NJ, you will have to bait your
breath with something besides high
wines to catch your humble servant. "
And that girl was right. II more girls
would act upon the same principle
there would he fewer divorce suits.
Whisky breath and the acts resulting
are behind a multitude OF divorce
suits.-Terre Haute Mail.

Society girls are as supperstitious in
many things as any of their sign

friend of mine told me that he ac-
cidentally overheard bevy OF Young
ladies the other evening chatting
about ali sorts of things. Finally one
OF the pretty maidens said: Girls,

COnpelIed to Differ.

For once, says the New York Jour
nal, we are reluctantly compelled to
differ with the eloquent pastor of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle. He does not
approve of the pretty vests which the
young ladies are now wearing. They
are, in our humble opinion, graceful in
the extreme. Nothing being new un-
der the sun, they are simply an old
fashion revived. Such vests were
worn during the forties, and are as
pretty now as they were then.

Uncle Esek,s Wisdom.

/ have heard of men who knew moro
than they could tell, but / never met
one. If man has genuine idea, he
can make himself understood.
Literature is the diet of the common
mind, bnt genius feeds on tho unwrit-
ten things.
You may travel a good ways on
whisky, and travel fast while YOU are
going, but you can't get back when you
want TO.
When you have learned to listen,
You have already acquired the rudi-
ments of good education.
Faith won't enable a man to lift
ton all at once, but il will, ten pounds
at time.
Genius invents, talent applies.
/ never have seen an idea too big for
a sentence, but / have read thousands
of sentences too big for an idea.
Vanity and jealousy are the two
weakest passions in the human heart,
and, strange to tell, they are the most
common.
A thoroughly neat woman is n 10y
unspeakable, but doesn't she make il
busy for the dust and for the people in
her neighborhood
My young disciple, don't hunt for
new things, but study to improve upon
the old ones; every flat stone, and most
of the powders, have been turned over
already by the novelty-hunters.
We find plenty of people who don't
average well; they know too much for
one man, and not quite enough for
two. Tile Century.

Then at 8 o'clock-for they retire early in the

yard, they will not answer. Deadi DeadI
And then you will take out tho white lock OF
hair that was cut from your mothers brow
just before they buried her, and you will take
