SHE PAID GEORGE BACK.
It Was Proper Penalty for Stretching His
Legs Between the Acts.

It Was Proper Penalty for Stretching His
Legs Between the Acts.
They sat costly side by side at the
theater, enjoying TO the top of their
bent the miserable fate of Desdemona.
and dear George told her that he would
never be jealous of her-no, not If she
should give away one thousand pocket
handkerchiefs, and then they had
squeezed each others hands under her
lace wrap, and they were happy as
happy can be. Dear George" bought
her box of bon-bons. and then ate
them all up, for no man was ever so
much in love as to be shy in the matter
OF eating.
BY and by it came to the end of the
third act, and after looking very rest
less and wretched George said fondly:
You won't mind, dear, viii you, if l
just step out into the vestibule to
stretch my legs a bit, viii you?'
If George had had half an eve he
would have seen that she did mind,
very much; no woman likes to be left
alone IN theater, but she only said
coolly: "On, not in the least, if you
care to 60"
So George crawled over the laps Of
half dozen ladies, treading on their
toes. scratching their chlns with his
watch chain and brushing the bloom
off their laces and evening attire.
She waited about five minutes, and
then. swiftly bundling her wrap
around her, and with her pretty face
scarlet with indignation and embar-
rassment, she bravely left the theater
and went home.
And it served George right.-New Or
leans Picayune.

A Valuable Acquisition.

''Tl have you arrested for obtaining
goods under false Pretenses.' he ex-
claimed, when they had row. and she
told him she had only fooled him into
marrying her anyhow"
Do she responded scornfully: and
when the goods are shown IN court, the
case VIII be dismissed; there is nothing
OF value. Detroit Free Press

trial and pretended that they were 90
ing to make him marry a woman, but
she wasn't a woman, but a man that
had been fixed up for the occasion.
Well, they say that fellow skipped
the door when he saw the
thing that was 70 be his wife and ran
2 mile without looking back. Yes, old
Bob is full Of revenge

Not everyone who goes to baseball
game knows all about the game. Some
of them, principally women, know con-
siderably more about many other
things
This was illustrated at the Philadel-
Phia BASEBALL park the other day, She
had been going for the last five games
and began to think she knew some
thing more than her sisters. But there
was one thing that foored her, and
that was the umpire.
Hasn't he got funny shaps,- said
she to her escort He replied yes" IN
an absent-minded way, for there were
three on bases, with tie score.
The crisis past. the conversation was
resumed
why do they have such dcformed
man there?' asked she Her escort

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Antol
 With a Salt Fish.

How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Antony
 With a Salt Fish.
 The art of angling no doubt had its origin in mans necessities. The earliest record of mankind makes reference to the taking of fish for food. There are frequent allusions to it in the Bible Job, in the oldest book of all, says: "Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook, or his tongue with cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put hook in his noser' Homer, in the "Iliad, speaks of fishing in these lines: AS bearing death in tho fallacious bait, From the bent angle sinks the leaden weight.
 And 1t is recorded in the Odyssey:
 As when the angler his long rod in hand,
 On projecting rock assumes his stand,
 Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
 Then filings the wriggling captives in the air.
 The Romans, Greeks and other races of early days around the Mediterranean practiced the art of angling. Plutarch tells of prank played by the fair Egyp- tian, Cleopatra, while out fishing with Antony, ''They wagered on their an gling, and her divers did hang a salt fish on his hook. which he with fervor drew up."
 The ruined walls of Herculaneum and Pompeii abound in frescoes of fisher men. All along the track of history are found traces of this gentle recreation, showing the gradual improvement from the hook of bone and rude equipment of the cave man to the elegant accessories and belongings of the modern aDgler.- St. Louis Post Dispatch.
