Very FunnY.

zone of the funny things which one
occasionally meets with and which is
suggested by our line of talk" said I'm
Gle Dave, speaking of practical jokes,
sis the case of an Irishman who took
a contract to dig public well in town
in New Hampshire. When lie had dug
about twenty-five feet down he came
one morning and found it caved in--hlled
nearly to the top.
"Pat looked cautiously around and
saw that no one was near, then took OFT
his hat and coat and hung them on the
windlass, crawled into clump of bushes
near by and waited events.
"In short time the citizens discovered
that the well had caved in, and, seeing
Pats hat and coat on the windlass, they
supposed he was at the bottom of the
excavation. Only a few hours of brisk
digging cleared the loose earth from
the WELL Just as the eager citizens had
reached the bottom and were wondering
where the body was, Pat came walking
out of the bushes and good-naturedly
thanked chem for relieving him of a
sorry job. Some of the tired diggers
were Disguised while Pat was in the
best of good humor, but the joke was
too good to allow anything more than
a hearty laugh, which soon followed
when the full comicality of the situation
was realized Boston Herald.

Storv of a ManuscriDt.

A writer in the Outlook says that
some years ago friend of his wrote 4
short story which a magazine accepted
and paid $50 for. The years went by,
and the story still rested snugly i'll the
safe. Meanwhile the author of the tale
had become an industrious man of let
ters and had achieved some little reDu-
tation. He one day met the editor,
whom he had come to know, and asked
him when he intended to print that
story The editor replied that he could
not tell, but probably not in the I'M
mediate future The author went home
and thought the thing over, and then
asked the editor for the privilege of
buying the story back. The editor as
senting to this, the author gave him $50
and received back his story. He read
it over made few minor changes in it,
put new title to it, had it typewriter.
and then sent it back to the editor of
the same magazine from whom he had
just bought it. In a short time came
check for $3.50 and a call from an
illustrator who had received an assign
ment to make pictures for it, as the ed
itor intended to publish it Immediately.

Lady Crack Shot.

A good story is going the round of the
South African papers concerning Mrs.
Colenbrander's sister, Mrs. Grosvenor
Darke of Swaziland. During the late
scare Mt the period of the annexation of
the country by the Transyaal, Mrs
Darke refused to leave Darkton, the resi-
dence of her husband Upon one occasion
some of the men of the place were shoot
ing at a bottle placed on the rock hun
dred yards away, and during the shoot
ing Mrs. Darke appeared on the scene.
A young tenderfoot remarked that women
were nuisance at times like those, when
every person should be able to handle a
rifle, and that in the event of real fight
ing the presence of Mrs. Darke would
hamper the men. The lady in question
apparently overheard the remark, for a
moment afterwards she borrowed heavy
sporting rifle from one of the shooters and
broke the bottle with her first shot, and
moreover, went on to do it three times out
of five. Then. handing the rifle to the
tenderfoot, she said. with a charming
smile, Nov, sir, let us see who would be
the most use in real trouble" The young
man accepted the challenge, but did not
succeed in touching the bottle in eight
shots Glasgow Weekly Mail

HOW HE EARNED CANDY.
A Strange but True Story of u Big New
fOundland Dog.

A Strange but True Story of - Big New
fOundland Dog.
One summer afternoon a group of chill
dren were playing at the end of a pier
that projects into Lake Ontario, near
Kingston. The proyerbial careless child
of the party made backward step from
the pier into the water None of his
companions could save him, and their
cries had brought no one from the shore,
when. Just as he was sinking for the
third time, superb Newfoundland dog
rushed down the pier into the water and
pulled the boy out.
Those of the children that did not ac-
company the boy home took the dog to
a confectioner's on the shore and fed him
with a great variety of cakes and
other sweets as he would eat So far.
the story is, of course, only typical of
scores of Well-knOWn cases. The indi-
viduality of this case is left for the
sequel.
The next afternoon the same group of
children were playing at the same place,
when the canine hero of the day before
came trotting down to them with the
most friendly. wags and mods There be-
ing no occasion this time for supplying
him with delicacies, the children only
stroked and petted him. The dog, how
ever. had not come out of pure sociabil-
ity. A child in the water and cakes
and candy stood to him in the close and
obvious relation of cause and effect, and
if this relation was not clear to the
children he resolved to impress it upon
them. Watching his chance, he crept
the pier, gave sudden push, which sent
him into the water, then sprung in after
him and gravely brought him to shore

Growing Old Gracefully.

Growing old does not seem to have ref
erence to the number of years, months
and days of life, when we call to mind
some hale and hearty people of so, and
others broken and feeble at 40. We
all know that weak condition of body
makes one appear old, but the state
of ones mind has primarily more to do
with preserving youth or Fastening fee
bleness than anything else; therefore oc-
cupation of a profitab BILE, congenial char
acter seems the best antidOte for feeling
old.
Do not imagine that overdressing will
retain or bring back the beauty of youth;
it only serves to call attention to defects,
if any exist, and to make the wearer
ridiculous. There is q beauty that be-
longs to every age, though we do not
see it as often AS we ought, as SO few
people grow old gracefully; but the beau
ty of a sweet and noble life cannot fail
to be reflected in the face, and in many
woman such beauty outrivals that of
her youth.
Although the most blessed lot of wom-
an is that Of happy wife and mother,
there is no reason why a single woman
should grow cross and grabbed and
snarled and wrinkled; single woman,
if lovely and lovable in character. may
always find something about which her
affections may enIwine, and as for using
work in the world for those qualified to
do it. In these days, with the numerous
avenues of work open to women, it is not
necessary for a single woman to grow
old as drudge in her sisters family,
with compensation of board and cast
off clothing, as was formerly the case.
She can now take care of herself, and
be as we'll dressed and as highly re-
spected as her married sister.
With men as well as with women,
moderate amount of occupation rather
than abundant leisure will preserve
youth Most Of our public men break
down, grow prematurely old, and die
from oYerwork and nervous strain.
Business men as rule take too little
recreation; one must have recreation,
or at least change of occupation; it
will not answer to allow the mind to
dwell continuously upon one subject, but
by observation of business men shows
that it is better to die in the harness
than to retire from business and rust
out. When man of boundless activity,
in good health makes up his mind to
retire from business, he might as well
make up his mind to die The active
mind must feed upon something. and
in this case it will feed upon his very
life.--Good Housekeeping.

line the play is failure, and the next

DeviI's own Work.

In a small country town in South
Wales, in the days before the gaslighter's
torch replaced the more cumbersome lad
der, son of Erin applied at the gas
works for employment. He was engaged
to extinguish the public lamps, for which
he was to receive one shilling a night.
Accordingly, at IL o'clock the next night
he sailed forth. ladder on shoulder A
few@minutes later the attention of some
passersby was attracted by the unusual
thrust as far as it would go into the
lantern of public lamp and his cheeks
inflated. vainly endeavoring to blow out
the gaslight. Half an hour later the
irate Hibernian again appeared at the
gasworks, and. on being asked for an
explanation of his early return, he re-
piled: "Och. bedad, it's the devils own

SPLITTING BANK NOTES.
The Latest Ingenious Device of Coun-
terfeiters.


terfeiters.
Many devices have been resorted to by
counterfeiterS to raise genuine bank
notes, as we'll as manufacture bogus
ones, but one of the most novel has come
to light within the last few days at
the United States subtreasurers office
in this city. 1t is not known whether
the plan was ever tried before, nor how
successful it was in this case, as it is
not known whether anybody was caught
by it. The scheme consisted of splitting
SIS and a 81 note and then pasting
the back of the 81 to the front of the
So note and the front of the 81 note to
the back Of a So note. The mechanical
part of the work was eXcellently done,
but the fraud could be detected the mo-
ment the note was turned over.
An effort has been made to change the
''one' to five" on the zone side OF
the new combined note, but it was done
so clumsily that the fraud would have
been seen at glance, and the only hope
of passing the notes as fves would have
been to pass them over with the SO side
up and trust to the man receiving it
not to turn it over before putting it
away. The doctored notes came to the
subtreasury through one Of the banks
with the request that they be allowed
whatever the notes were worth. The
government always Tedeems notes from
the race value anu dS the races III tulS
case were of a 81 and a S. note, $6
were allowed. It is not known whether
the bank was caught on the split notes or
not.
A cleverly executed counterfeit SIS ma
tional banknote was also detected at
the subtreasury the other day. It was
on the First National bank of Tamaqua,
and was burned in several places to give
it an old appearance, and then pasted on
n niece of paper as if to hold it together
The fraud was first detected by turning
over one of the corners and discovering
a misspelled word on the back.-Phila-
delnhia Record.

Ruilt nv the Pilgrims.

Among the attractions of the town Of
Bourne, Mass, are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other by the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side, and the
structures built over them were filled
with goods so necessary for the comfort
of the early pilgrims as well as the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufact-
ured goods such as the Hollander had
for sale, and the Dutch required prod
nets such as the colony could supply.
Gov Bradford in his diary states that
this blockhouse was built as early as
1927, only seven years after the land
ing of the Mayflower.
