Gus MenniDger met Daniel bowling,
the ex-president of the board of alder
men, and the latter invited him into a
cafe to lunch.
Il want a Welsh rarebit," said Mr.
Bowling.
81 will have the same said Gus.
They were served, but the puzzled
look on Gus face indicated he had never
tackled a rarebit before. Stirring the
mass of molten cheese with his fork he
finally looked up and said:
Say, Dan, where's the bird?"-New

 Why Not?

About ten miles beyond St. Thom- as the locomotive whistled an alarm, slackened bit, and then put on full steam and we felt a bump clear back in the last coach. As soon as the train could Dc checked and backed up to the highway crossing we all piled out to ascertain the trouble. A woman about 40 years old, hat off and hair flying, was picking some parcels out of the grass, while man of about the same age sat on the ground staring about him in wonder. In his left hand he held a pipe and in his right paper Of tobacco. He had been crossing the road with his team. One horso lay dead in the ditch, and the other was limping of down the road, while the wagon was smashed to kindhngs. The woman gathered up five or six parcels and started of after the lmping horse, never speaking a word, and by and by the husband slowly filled his pipe, hunted around for match and lighted it and as he got to his feet to follow the wife the conductor queried:
 'Didn't you see the train com ingp
 "Of course" was the quiet reply.
 ''Then why didn't you hold upl" 'Didnt you see me coming} Of coasse you did. Then why in tbun- der didn't you hold upl

 Don't yon know it's very wrong to smoke, my boyi" said an elderly looking lady in railway waiting room, to Young America, who per sisted in putting away on cheap cigarette, much to the old lady's discomfort.
 ''Oh I smoke for my health, '" answered the boy emitting a volume of smoke from his mouth which al- most strangled the old lady.
 "But you never heard of cure from smokingP continued the old lady, when she had regained con ciousnsss.
 ''Oh yes I did" persisted the boy as he formed his mouth into a young Yssuvius working on full time. :" That's the way they cure pigs"
 Smoke on then" quickly replied the old lady;'there's some hope for you yet"

EvadinG the Land Laws.

Some very amusing evidence is occasionly introduced before the land office at Las Cruces. One wit ness recently testified that he had a mahogany bedstead in his house. On cross examination, he stated that it was of a very rustic pattern and had the bark on. It was made from mountain mahogany. Another wit ness testified that he had glass window in his house, and when questioned closely acknowledged that it consisted of an t6gcr-hols bored through a log with a bottle stuck in it. Still another testified that he had a board floor in his house. When asked what kind of boards bis floor was composed of he said that it consisted of auger-holes bored in the dirt.--Silver City(N. M.

WEEKLY CHAMPION
selecting . Doctor.

A certain man, who was lately wed, dwelt in the country far form the noise eff any town. It chanced one night that his wife fell sick, and being ignorant of the ways of wom. en folks, he mounted his cart horse and galloped exceedingly fast toward the town in search of skillful leech.
 On the road he met a gaunt and withered hag, who asked him:
 "Whither so fast, good mani"
 'To get a leech for my wife who is sick unto death"
 'sKnow you how to tell good doctor3'
 May, mother I take the first to which God leadeth me"
 Whsreupon the ancient dame gave him sprig of Euphrasy, and said:
 'tHold this to thy eyes when thou lookest at doctors house, and thou wilt strightway see the ghosts of those who have died from his gung- ling Take thou the doctor with the fewest ghosts"
 Thereafter whenever that man came to doctors house he held the mystic herb to his eyes, and Odd zookl fearful sight met his clair voyant gaze, ghastly crowd of un- easy ghosts, and what seemed strange to that man, the larger and more comfortable house, the greater the awsome troop al. the door.
 Through the deserted streets he galloped from doctors house to doc tors house, seeking in vain for ono whose gates were not besieged by uneasy spirits. At length up quiet lane, he espied a modest house bear ing doctors shingle, and lol but solitary ghost sat upon the doorstep.
 "Here by Gods grace" "quoth the man, "is the doctor for me"
 But little time had passed, I wecn before that stout horse was bearing the man and his physician along the road to the sick woman.
 When they were well on towards the end of their journey the doctor smiled pleasant smile to see, and said,
 'I wonder right well by what good chance you called on me, for l know l have only been practicing medicine two days, and your good wife will be the second patient l have treated"
