Charles Mustache.

A young man and his girl were at the
Peoples Theatre the other night, says
Te1as Siftings The young man car
red his head on one side, it being forced
into that position by tho weight of a
very tender mustache, which was COM
posed of seven hairs upon one side and
eleven upon the other side Of his nose.
The comedian on the stage had brought
a laugh by some allusion to boys first
shaving encounter with barber, when
the young man leaned over to his girl
and whispered:
"Thats true to life, can tell you"
''How do you know p inquired the
girl.
"How do | know p he repeated in a
whisper; why, by experience. of course,
that was the way with me when 6rst
got shaved"
"When was that" she asked, inno-
Gently
"Oh, before | raised my mustache,"
he returned, moving uneasily.
"What mustache 7" she queried, lit
tie surprised.
"What mustache do you suppose 2
he retorted, turning red.
"Why, Charlie" whispered the girl,
"I never saw any mustache. Do you
mean"
"Never mind what | mean," hissed
the young man through his front teeth,
aud became silent. There was lots OF
fun in the play. but Charlie never
laughed again. He took the young
woman home, but on the following Sum-
day night he went to see another girl

Wanted to be Informed.

One morning a man came around to
the hotel at which was stopping 10
small town in Ontario and asked il three
or four of US wouldn't step down to u
house two squares away and act as pail
bearers at funeral, as large number
of the citizens had gone out Of town that
day on an excursion. We went down
and found tho dead to be woman, and
as soon as we arrived her late husband
beckoned me aside and said:
"Ever SO much obliged to you. We
won't detain you long. Well have
very short sermon here and you needn't
go to the grave. Ever attend one be-
fore ?"
"Oh, yes"
"Then | want You to post me. Of
course feel bad

"But would it be in good taste il |

going on? could sit and squirt out Of

"Well, then, won't. though | shall

with coquettish nonchalance, as she

The Sweetest Sound to Counsel,

The great Dan Voorhees, of Indiana
and the equally great, if not so cele-
brated, Joe Mann of Danville, once de-
Tended man charged with murder in
Edgar county. This case was a serious
one for the defendant, and Voorhees,
and Mann exhausted their talent in his
defence, with scarcely hope of success
fully proving his innocence. The trial
was long and bitterly contested the
jury was out for hours, and finally this
verdict was read in court: "We, the
jury. find the defendant not guilty"
AS the reading of the verdict broke
tho stiffness Of the court room, Voor-
hees sprang to his feet, seized Mann by
the arm with clutch that nearly took
piece out, and in hoarse, commanding
whisper, said "Come on Lets take
a walk" They left the court room and
walked in silence down the street for
some distance Then Voorhees, stopped,
laid bis hand on Mann's arm, and said,
impressivcly:
"Joc, you're good citizen, and | be-
lieve il justice is done you'll get to
heaven. We arc told that in that land
of perfect peace and rest there shall be
heard such music as mortal ear has
never heard. Sweet tones will ring on
every side; grand bursts of song will
rise from myriads of happy souls in
praise of their Redeemer murmuring
melody will float along on every balmy
breeze, and exquisite music will every
where and forever thrill the ecstatic
senses Of the blest-but Joe, in that
heavenly land you will never hear
sound so sweet to human ear as the ut
terance Of these words: we, the jury,
find the defendant not guilty Now
let's go and take a drink. ."-Chicago
