De Soto Chaffs Columbus.

Columbus: Well, De Soto, my year
is about to b, gin, eh? 'Ninety-two's
great year for me.
De Soto: Oh, suppose so; but, after
all, it's only time that makes you seem
great. You had the luck to start off
before any one else, and you discovered
America, although there were thous-
ands of natives who knew of its exist
eace before you did
Columbus: That's all right, De Soto,
old nan; but it was good deal of an
undertaking, l can tell you, to cross the
Atlantic in those days.
De Soto: Nonsensel You didn't walk,
did you?
Columbus: OF course not l.
De Soto: You didn't row, did you?
Columbus: Why, no; but L
De Soto: And you didn't swimp
Columbus: l did not. But what of
ii?
De Soto: Everything. You simply
stepped on board your vessel. Another
man paid your fare, and, to use slang
exYre ssion, you were blown in-into
port. You sailed around until you
struck something, you didn't know
what. You said, "Thls is America.
will now discover it," That WAS the
size of your achievement. If you'd
swum, walked, or rowed over, you'd
have deserved all this notoriety; but l
must say, as it is, your achievement
couldn't equal mine.
Columbus: Yours? You only discov-
cred river, confound you'll
De Soto: Well, it was a great river
Columbus: But, my dear boy, a great
river isn't continent.
De Soto: Mo- nor is it gold watch -,
or pair of patent-leather boots; but
began to get watery and flow down to
the sea, there were thousand miles of
your land right square in the way; but
il made no difference, my river just
flowed over your continent and nearly
bisected the thing in two, as they say
in Kansas, and if folks'll only let it
alone, and let it have its own way, it'll
gradually wash your old continent to
sea, and you'll never be known as any
thing save moderately smart prestidig-
itateur who made an egg stand up on
end before it was old enough TO walk.
No, Columbus, you are not ia it with
me, and never will be. l am a man to
be proud of.
Columbus: Tut! No one will ever
hold Worlds Fair over you.
De Soto: No, they won't, and for a
very good reasOn-yours'll be such a
white elephant they il never have
another, and don't you forget it;
and I'll bet you one thing right here
III wager you gold mine against a
tart that you won't even be invited to
your great show at Chicago. Oh, tell
you, Columbus, they're on to you.
They're going to make monument of
you in oleomargarine, as it is. Tee
hee-hee! Poor old Columbus

Alice is seven. She is visiting at
Teddy's house in the country. Teddy
is six. They were playing keeping
house " the other day when it rained.
"I'll be the father" said Ted, "and

you must stay at home and dit the
dinner"
NO" rejoined Miss Alice, must
go to business, too. My mamma always
puts on her bonnet and goes TO the
Office after breakfast" (Her mother
is an editor)
"Who dts the dinner at your house?'
asked Teddy, thinking of his stomach.
IN )body. We get things to eat at

Haven't you any kitchen in your
house?"
"No; we have only mammals room,
the sitting-room, the study and my
room. Don't you ever tell any one,
but my room is just corner of the
study behind the screen"
Ted sat thinking. Then, crossing
his short fat little legs, he said, with
the air of a man who has thought
much and deeply upon the woman
question:: "Well, when l dit married |
shall have kitchen in my house and
my wife shall cook the dinner. l fink
it is funny for mammas to go to offices.
l fink they ought to stay at home"
To which the small but progressive
woman replied 1t isn't funny one
bit. It's good deal nicer than cook

shall have stylographic pen,and wear it
behind my ear just like mamma. am
not quite sure, though, whether | shall

Ted looked at Alice seriously out of
his big brown eyes. Il don't fink I'll
marry you, then; was linking would,
maybe"
81 don't care" responded Alice,
fiippantly. "I've wiped dishes once
and don't like to. You might cook
your own dinner and see how you'd
like it for while. My papa says he
can make cocoa just as good as he
wants it any day. | don't want to play

dinners. You play you're sick and Pll

for a peep at these wise children. Alice

New THEORY or THE ExoDUs-A negro
preacher once elaborated a new theory of
the exodus-to wit, that the Rcd Sea was
frozen over, and so afforded the Israelites
safe passage, but when Pharaoh with his
heavy iron chariots attempted to cross he
broke through and was drowned. A brother
arose and asked an explanation of that
"pint." Said he, "Is been studyin' g'og-
raphy, and de geography say dat am de
place whar de tropics am, and de tropics am
too hot for freezin; de pint to be splained
is bout breakin' through de ice." The
preacher Strengthened himself up and said
Brudder, glad you axed dat question, for
it gives me 'casion to 'splain it. You see

A well dressed lady with her little Lord

to an outgoing train. Both were laden with
bundles. A railroad official stood at the
door. "Open the door or I'll punch your
head" exclaimed Fauntleroy, in very
swagger voice, and the official, amused at
| the six-year-Old's audacity, consented to
! become doorkeeper for the occasion, and
complied. The mother showed that she
was angry as she swept through the door,
and as it closed she seized Fauntleroy by
the shoulders and shook him severely.
" Aren't you ashamed of YOURSELF" she
asked, "to be so impolte to the gentle
man." Sho, mamma, replied Fauntleroy,

The NEW IDEA.-One of the trite savings
that is frequently proven false is the saying
There is nothing new under the sun F"

ton which holds the quintessence of all our
highest literature in single volume. 1t is
a condensation, with critics review, of the
fifty masterpieces of the worlds greatest
minds, and is entitled 1.-THE Best Fifty
Books of the Greatest Authors; Condensed
for Busy People" 1t is not mercy a collec-
ton OF choice extracts and elegant quota.
tions. 1t is a condensation a book of
quotations; not book of extracts, not pc
dantic criticisms. The reader is given the
whole story and scheme of the author, long
pages OF descriptive aud dialogue being
boiled into line, the whole compressed.
1t contains full-page portraits Of each author,
printed on plate paper, and concise biog-
raphy of each. Its III large royal octave
pages cover the whole range of literature
from Homer's Iliad 1900 years b. G. to Lew
Wallace's Ben Hur of 1880 A. D., and con-
jures with such names as Shakespeare,
Dante, Milton, Cervantes, Pope, Byron,
Hugo, Dumas, Dickens, Carlyle, Hawthorne,
Goethe, Thackeray and scores of others.
1t is from the complete art-printing works
OF The MISUNDERSTANDING Company of
Buffalo, n. Y, and that insures the perfec-
ton OF manufacture. We understand that
II is selling wonderfully where introduced.
Most people are willing to buy when they
get great deal for little money, and this
book is cheap at 1915. It's circulars are
certainly very fine, and from them we infer
that Brooks Company of Boston are the
general agents for this field We advise
our local canvassers to look this up, for it
certainly would sell we'll.
