4 DAngrrens Joke.

It doesn't p=y to be too sharp. Gs s West Side German barber has discovered for he lost e customer recently by trying to be facetious- Ho wGs shaving an hish1au, as be had done many times be fore. but never without an argument as 60 the relative merits of each one's na- tionaiity. These controversies had si ways been good nstured. but on the ooca- sion in question the barber said, a. he finished brushing the IrishmRn's hair; ''VeII. vas rather shave drse Germans as von Iishnan any day in dot week.
 'sPhat's thatf" cried the man from Cork Maybe yea hev a sinsible raysOn for that same; if yez have, it's pOro thin I've heard from yez yit.
 You bet 1 vas had some gnot reason. Q replied the barber. with broad smile Il vas got dirty cents for dree Germans, und l vas only got den cents for VOL Irishman: you see dotT"
 The IrishmBn had argued for months, and had never lost his temper, but to have joke sprung on him in that cold manner was more than he could stand Chicago Herald.

wild Geese and Electric Lights.

The night was still and dark, and as the
birds flew over the city some of the geese
would get bewildered by the bright light
of the electric lamps and circle round and
round the light, squawking as if lost The
ducks do not seem to care for the excite
ment of city life and go quietly on their
way, but a goose is so supremely curious
that he can hardly pass an electric light
without flying round and examining it.
About two years ago there was a terrific
thunder storm in this city and vicinity.
during which flock of geese, numbering
probably 300, entered the city and soon
became bewildered by the storm. Some
of them. it is said, even lit on the roofs of
houses; but certain it is that at half-past
four or five in the morning there was a
great flock Of geese sitting in the light of
the arc lamp, on the corner of Main and
First streets. in the center of the town.
This, OF course, is an exceptional case and
would probably never have happened if
1t had not been for the storm, but why
they should be SO irresistibly attracted
toward n light as to lose all fear of mans
habitations, and to alight in the middle of
the street, has always been a wonder to
me.-hdnSds Correspondence Forest and
Stream.

At the Wigwam this afternoon an en-

gathered to hear Postmaster General

under the auspices of the Young Mems

things, he said: II am glad to be counted

that is for young men. There is some
thing in my shoes that stops me when

to have, holding on to the brakes and
