The Perfect Man.

The right kind of man from Beer
sheta to Dan | sought with an infn-
lie zest, from the end of the East my
search never ceased till | came to the
end of the West.
He's gentle and quiet and plain in
his diet, and never gets mad in a
crowd; he's a tireless searcber for
all kinds of "vircher," and never is
boastful and loud.
He's modest and sweet, and he
gives up his scat if a wasberwom2n
enters the car. If be smokes out Of
doors then the smoke he outpours
always comes from ten-cent cigar.
On he great Wilson bill he will
never talk till you wish he would
languish and die. He's in love with
his wife, and stays so all Lis life, and
praises her pudding and PIE.
And I sought for this man from
Beersheba TO Dan, sought from the
West to the East, but I'm sorry to
say that he didn't come to stay, and
he's long since defunct and deceased.

Weighty John Wade.


Wentzville, Mo-, has curiosity
in the shape Of q boy twelve years
old who is 5 feet inches in height
and weighs 2S2 pounds.
The boys name is Johnny Wade,
sid he is the cldestson Of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. S. Wade. Mr.. and Mrs. Wade
have a family of seven children, five
boys and two girls, but with the ex-
ception Of Johnny none are above
the average in height or weight.
A peculiar theory is advanced to
account for Johhny Wade's enor-
nous size. 1t is said that from the
time he was able to walk it has been
his habit to follow his father, who is a
butcher, t. the slaughter pen and
there to drink quantities of the blood
of beeycs just slaughtered. It's be-
lieved that this practice is what gave
him his phenomenal growth. His
relatives on both sides are small peo-
pie or below the average in size and
weight.
When Johrny feels Ike working
he bushes himself helping his father
in the butcher shop. He is still grow
ing.

A Slight Mistake.

Singers in church and elsewhere
are not always careful as they aught
to be to articulate their words dis
tinctly. A little girl entered the
meeting house not long ago just as
the choir was singing an anthem.
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah! !" said The
singers; but the little girl, whose
thoughts were somewhat preoccupled
we may imagine, did not catch the
words correctly. After getting home
she startled her aunt by saying:
81 never saw such nice choir.
They stopped light in the middle of
the anthem and spoke 90 me-"
"Why, my dear" said the aunt, 81
didn't notice it."
"But they did. You'll know L wore
my new cloak, and as soon as l come
in the choir said" Hardly knew you!"
