Narrow Escape of Abduliah

One morning the talented and ELI
cient Caliph of Bagdad awoke in hu
NOR almost as bad as that ofa man who
is trying to write with stylographit
pen. lie telegraphed Immediately fol
Abdullah, his grand yizier who came
running with his tongue hanging out.
Last night" said the Caliph, Il had
u dream 10 the effect that all the mar
ried women in Bagdad threw them
selves on their knees before me and be-
walled their condition. You are re-
sponsible for the welfare of my subjects,
and | want this thing stopped, and by
the beard of the prophets, if you don't
put stop TO ii, III! put period to your
existence"
''Humbugn replied Abdullah, there
is not one married woman in Bagdad
who would swap places with any un-
married woman. They are all chronic
kickers, but, nevertheless, there are
some who are happy"
"Wcll. you find one and bring her
here before the first Of next month, or
off goes your head under the civil SER
vice reform rules"
Abdullah supposed that in uneal}l-
ing happy married woman he had the
softest job in town, whereas it was
harder than tracing a lost umbrella.
The first call he made was on the Ca
;iph's own wife. He supposed that she
could not help being happy, but he was
surprised when be found that she was
the most miserable Of her sex that for
abject wretchedness she captured the
entire bakery and some of the adjoin-
ing buildings. She had discovered in
her husbands pistol pocket letter ad-
dressed to him and signed "Your low
ing wootsy -tootsy Fatima."
As Abdullah was leaving the place
he met on the stairs Bridget Muldoon,
the scrub lady. She had Chicago feet
and was not happy because her hus-
band would not allow her to compete
in beauty show.
We will haze not space to record Alb
dullah's failures TO find happy
married woman in Eagdad. He
iiually sail to his own wife, where he
thong he had sure thing Off EN-
lily, suppose you are happy woman,
are you not 2"
u might be happy if ! only had a
(; hrs ,end Who would supply me with a
| few decent clothes to wear. This is
the third fall I've worn the same bon
net. Verify, EbdEllah. you are no
good" replied his loving wife.
Abdullah, perceiving that great
sorrow was gnawing at her heart, caus-
ed the conversation to drift into other
| channels.
As the first Of the month was rapidly
approaching, Abdullah began to listen
to hear his own head drop into the
basket with nauseating reverberation.
''I'll let you off this time" replied
CaIiph, because while you were off in
the country have discovered happy
married woman myself in Bagdad."
"Tmpossible I've asked them all.
Who is this happy woman ?" asked
Abdullah.
Your own wife. She told me that
she was always happy when you were
out OF town.

THE WISDOM OF THE CAT.-The wis

that is up to a pretty high standard.
For ten days or two weeks past swal-
lows have taken a special fancy to one

four or five feet above the roof of Lit

nightly just as it begins to get dusk,
they have poured down its ample
throat in myriads, seeking shelter dur
/ iug the hours of darkness. Their do
ingS attracted considerable atten-
ton until last Sunday evening when u
new factor appeared on the scene in
the shape OF u Maltese cat of ordinary
proportions. Just as the swallows be-
gan their circling preparatory to their
descent, tabby was seen crouching on
the top OF the chimney close to the
| fiue and she became the center of in
terest. As the swallows massed, COM
ing down in a swarm that almost chok-
ed the opening, the willy cat reached
out nimble paw and scooped one in
quickly settling it, the paw was sent
after another until four or FIVE had
been taken when she quietly proceed
ed to make & meal off of them. The
same performance was repeated on
Monday, and again on Tuesday this
Unsuitable feline was on hand ready to
do business at the old stand, but the
swallows had apparently learned q les

that pussy went supperless that even

This performance was witnessed by
numbers of persons all of whom won
