Whimsical Father schaubel.

Father Schaubel, who died a few
years ago, was we'll Fast his eightieth
year. He was another dead in earnest
Christian. A good many years ago his
workmen, while hauling earth from ono
of his lots, cncroached on one of mine,
and spoke to him about it, He threw
up his hands i'll surprised way and
exclaimed, 1.-THE whole earth is made
of dirt, and shall we quarrel about a
wheclbarrow load of it:' He had u
strong German accent A short time be-
fore he died met him OH the street and
said, "Well, Father Schaubel, how do
you find YOURSELF" 81 find myself ach
ty-four years alt" he replied. "And
how do you like it," Zach, veil. We
must be satisfied" That was a favorite
maxim with him, to be satisfed--that
is, contcnted. He was gardener. One
year there was, for some reason, Il great
scarcity of tomatoes, and he had large
crop. In reply to Il question what he
was getting for them, he replied: 1.-TWO
dollar und fifty cents q bushel hero in
do field. All, veil, We must be salts
fed. '-Chicago Interior

The Origin of "stoughton BOTTLE {.

Did it ever occur to you to wonder
where the expression "Stoughton bot.
tie" came from? Senator Palmer used
it the last time 1 saw him and asked
him about it.
"Why," said he, "it comes from u
certain Stoughtons bitters that used to
30 very popular when 1 was boy.
Stoughton's bitters was sort of table
sauce, very weak and tasteless, and real
ly useless. So when anybody stood
around as useless as bottle of Stough-
toms bitters on a dinner table people got
to saying that he was Stoughtcn bot
tie, until as an expression fo- general
shiftlessness it camo TO be al accepted
term. "-Washington Post.

The STORY OF a JOKE.
Two Non Made 1t, but Another Fellow
Got Paid For IL.


Tho managing editor of now dead
and forgotten newspaper was an admirer
OF hulnor. Without II spark of it i'll his
own composition, lie had learned i'll his
long newspaper experience that q JIM
dicious injection of wit and fancy made
u paper popu,.,r. He learned the lesson
earlier than the other editors in the
town, and his was tho first paper to en-
liven its pages with bits of humor. The
"old man" recognized his own incapac-
ity i'll the matter of jokes. He knew that
thousands laughed at things that seem
ed foolish and flat to him. When he
started using humorous matter, no hired
young man to supervise tho prepara-
ton and publication of the stuff Know.
ing absolutely nothing about jokes and
jokers, he employed man who had
made reputation among other people
by his work on an eastern funny paper.
The young man had brilliant idea.
He offered reward of SO. 90 for every
original joke brought in by members Of
the staff. The cold man" backed him
up-nothing was too expensive if it sold
papers. The result of the prize offer was
remarkable outpouring Of alleged wit.
One man caught the fever tho first day.
Timidly he went to the professional
humorist
"Do you buy jokes here?" no asked.
Tho humorist took the proffered pa
per from tho now mans hand and read
it, eyes" he said, and handed back the
paper.
The newcomer retired crestfallen.
Immediately following this passage at
arms Frank Walsh, the best hearted fell
low i'll tho Office, scribbled few lines on
sheet of paper and handed it to the
professional humorist. Without word
the latter wrote out an order on the
cashier for So. so. The other members
OF tho staff wondered at the occurrence,
and watched the paper for the appear
ance of the joke. 1t was not published,
and after few days the boys began to
ask about the witticism the editor had
paid for and did not uso. Finally Walsh
told them what it was. Here it is:
"Young Man (handing paper to edi-
tor)-Do you buy jokes here?
Editor (returning papcr)-Wo do. -

Tho Queer Request Two Women Made and
the Reason Therefor.
A genial Philadelphian, who for OBJ
vlous reasons docs not caro- to have his
namo printed Gil this occasion, secured
pnrlor car seat Oh an express train for
Reading few days ago, and as he was
about TO pass through the gates was sur
prised to hear himself accostcd in femi-
nine tones with the somewhat startling
question, "Please, mister, could I bor-
row You for awhile?"
Looking around, ne found two buxom
women, who hastily and hesitatingly
explained that they were riding OH a
pass made out in the name of gentle
man and his wife, and, as the gentle.
man was not present, they wanted the
genial looking citizen to place his
bought ticket at the disposal of one lady
and take the other one under his wing,
while he personated the absent owner
of the pass.
(Which is my wife," he inquired,
with an inward qualm, lest his own alb
sent better half should ever hear the
story.
"You can take your choice, sir, +" said
tho iauy III search OF all escort, and he
promptly did so by tucking the arm of
the younger fair one under his own and
leading her into the car. The couple
proved to be right jolly travelling COM
panions. and the citizens only regret in
the transaction was due to fear that
the story might leak out and get home
ahead of him. But it didn 't.-Philadel-

AN INCORRIGIBLE HORSE THIEF.
Frank Cllnefelter to BE Prosecuted for
His Last Attempt

Frank Clinefeiter. the most notorious
horsethief in this section. who was turned
out of the city jail last evening at s
o'clock because Hank Stewart, driver for
the Pacific Meat Company, refused to
prosecute him. was arrested within three
hours on the charge of attempting to
steal o. c. McGilvra's pony at Lake Wash
ington. The barn was surrounded and
when the rush was made the pony with
all ITS trappings was found I'm the middle
OF the floor, but Clinefeiter was missing
Pitchforks were brought forth and after a
considerable amount OF hay was thrown
from the loft Clinefelter was discovered
and jerked out of his hiding place.
II appears that last Sunday Clinefetter
went out to Judge McGilvra's and pur-
suaded the Judge TO show him hts horses.
He talked like n regular buyer and told
the Judge that he Intended putting on a
stage Bne from Kent 20 other towns.
Then he got hold of o. C. NcGilvra. the
judges son. and almost completed a bar
gain 10 purchase his buckskin pony. He
told young McGilvra that he intended get
ting a magic lantern. some pictures OF
himself and Blanck. and then going
through the country starring.
After this he got into trouble over the
Stewart horse and was In Jail until last
night. Immediately after being released
he went TO Lake Washington and hid mn
der the shed OF Judge McGilvrs's barn. A
watch was kept on him and when dark
ness set I'm he entered the barn and took
the buckskin pony from its stall.
His Intentions may he imagined when II
ts known that he had an extra Birdie and
a Ian robe attached to the horse when the
arrest was made.

A PROMISING ENGINEER.
Remarkable Record OF w. f.. MCGOWAN

Remarkable Record OF w. T.. MCGOWAN,

members OF the service TO be prodigy.
At a young age he graduated from Le-
high university and entered the engineer
ing department of Cramps celebrated
ship yards at Wilmington. Del. where he
remained for some time. He was offered
a place on the engineer stan OF tramp

In day and a half. and for this was
highly commended TO the department at
Washington City by Capt. Tozier. He is
now just about % years of afO and Is
