Important officials sometimes forget that
there are persons who can afford to disre-
gard their Importance. A purse proud old

his carriage at o country tavern and called

Horses, landlord Horses ut oncef'
.T am very much panied to inform you
that YOU will have TO wait over an hour be-
fore fresh horses can DO brought up" re-
piled the landlord calmly.
"Howi' violently exclaimed the noble.
man. "This to me! My man, I demand
horses Immediately"
Then observing the fresh, sleek looking
ones which were being led up to another
carriage, he continued:
"For whom are those horses?"
"They were ordered for this gentleman,
replied tho landlord, pointing to a tall slim

"Talking about bookkeeping" said Milt
Brisbane to reporter, there used to be
man In Yankton whose system of book
keeping accounts was wonderfully efficient.
He kept hotel, and he could neither read
nor write. He did not know how to spell
his own name, but he did thriving bust
ness and collected every dollar of his &C
counts. Once, years ago, when first came
to this country. went to his hotel and
stopped there two weeks. When l left, he
presented me with q statement of what
owed him, and It was curiosity. He had
copied it from his ledger.
AT the top Of the sheet there was rude
picture OF soldier on the march and after
| It three straight marks. Then there was a
scene showing man at table eating. Then
appears bed with man in it. In the
amount column there was picture of q
doll and after it the two letters RS. After
the picture of the man Getting there were
AZ marks. After the view of the man /
bed were IL marks i looked at the &C
count, then at the proprietor, and told him
it would take me week to answer that
conundrum. i was completely stumped
and when that hotel man deciphered the
amount for me ID was this:
"The pictureo of the soldier walking meant
march, and the three marks supplied the
date, March 8, when began boarding. Tn,
man at table with 42 marks after ii indi

John Barker, who fills the role of the old
Connecticut farmer in "a Nutmeg Match"
tells of an actor who once took the leading
Juvenile part in a play in which Mr.. Barker
was the chief comedian. Theleading juve-
nile was vain of his mustache, whose ends
he had curled daily in a barber's shop. One
evening he had just been shaved, and the
barber was putting on the finishing touches
when a fire broke out in the building in
which the shop was located. The leading
juvenile was one of the first to flee.
1t was almost time for the performance
to begin, and he went at once to the the
ater. His role required him to wear ordi
nary street clothes and to use no makeup
He had hardly reached the theater wher
the moment came for his entrance on the
stage. He went on, assuming his most kill
ing air.
A shout of laughter from the audience
staggered him. He turned to a mirror that
was used in the scene and saw with horror
that in the excitement due to the fire tn,
barber had neglected to remove the Gu
papers from the ends of his mustache.-
