WHERE JOKES CANNOT ENrER.

A certain Philadelphia gentleman,
of more name than fame, was ordered
by his physician to travel for the
benefit of his health.
| He went to England, and after tir-
ing of humping through London, he
decided to hire trap and see the
beauties of interior England in digni-
fed ease and luxury.
just then he fell in with hearty,
good-natured Englishman, and as they
soon became fast friends, the Ameri-
can invited the other to attend him on
his coaching trip.
The son of John Bull accepted,
and during the days OF pleasure that
followed, each frequently and in jok-
ing manner improved every occasion
to laud his own country and express
his contempt of the other.
On the evening of the fourth day, as
they were driving along dusty road,
the American pulled the horses up
suddenly and began to read sign:
"To Manchester twenty miles, " and
underneath, were the words: eff you
cannot read this sign apply for in
formation at the blacksmith shop"
"Well, I'll be blamed !" said the
American. eff that isn't the most
ridiculous sign ever saw"
81 say, old man." replied the
Englishman, "that sign is all right,
isn't it? Idon't see anything the maS-
ter"
"You don't, Ell? Well, then, you just
sleep over in and see what you think
in the morning"
The next morning the Englishman
came down beaming.
81 say, old man, he said wisely,
"that was funny sign to put up, for
don't yon see the blacksmith might
not be in after all, you know. "-Bos,

The Mexican on Horseback.

The Mexican lives on horseback.
Dismount him and he is as helpless as
child. Mounted on his charger,
with an immovable saddle, the strong
bit that will break a horses Jaw if
pulled very tightly, and lariat, and
he is ready for either war, the chase,
the roundup" of cattle or a bear
fight. Most of his work is done on
horseback. His headquarters are in
the saddle. His neighborly visits are
made on horseback, no matter how
short the distance. ~
The Mexican prides himself upon
the number of his riding horses and
his ability to ''break" them to the
saddle. Usually the horses run wild
on the large rancho until they are
wanted for use. The maior-domo of

dell, the entrance to which is immedi-
ately closed with branches or ropes.
The vaqueros each select a horse and
he is noosed with the lariat and thrown
to the ground. In second he is
bridled with the cruel Spanish bit in
his mouth, the Spanish immovabIe
saddle is dashed on him and vaquero
mounts him. For few moments the
scene is exciting and amusing, to the
spectators who alternately shout,
bravo, Juan ]" or laugh in derision
at the alternate success Of rider or
beast. -Philadelphia Times.

An Active Old Man OF 1873.

! One of the Oldest, if not the yorv
Oldest, men in America, lives in lit
tie shanty on the banks of the Usage
River at Usage City, Mo. He is
colored, and named Richard Hoops
According to the statements of Hoops,
which are well supported by accessi-
BILE records, he was born in Chatham
County, N. c., December 20, 1910, and
thus lacks less than month of the
completion of his 123d year. Born q
slave, he was taken to Missouri by his
owner, John P. Hayden, while mere
boy. A few years later he was sold to
the man whose name he now bears, and
lived with him near Vienna, Maries
County, until the emancipation of the
slaves. Since that time he has lived
at Westphalia, but for the last twenty
five years has made his home at Usage
City.
Hoops Systematically well preserved,
and lives alone in his shanty. He
fishes great deal for the big catfish
that frequent the waters of the Usage,
and is never, happier than when he can
catch big one and make soup of its
head. He is still able to do some
work, and it was only few years since
that he contracted with farmer in
the vicinity of his home to remove
the stumps and roots off a newly
cleared tract of land. He fulfilled his
contract, doing all the work himself.
His mind is still clear on many. of the
events that happened toward the close
of the last century, and he recalls with
great pride that he once held the horse
of General Greene, of Revolutionary
fame. In appearance, Hoops resem-
bles mummy; his skin looks like
parchment, and he, is toothless and
hairless, but his step is remarkably
firm, and his eye bright and clear.
As stated, he lives alone, having no
relatives as far as known. He Is
member and regular attendant Of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church.
His neighbors take great interest In
him, and do him many acts Of kind
ness, and he would not have to work,
as they would supply lis simple wants
gladly, but he is independent, and
says that he intends to earn his own
living for many years yet. His house
stands under the approach to the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Bridge across
The Usage, and, except when absent
IN his fishing trips, 'fUncle Hoops"
Is be is called, can be found ut home.
BE has the record Of his birth, and
here is but little doubt that he is the
