My Playmates.

The wind comes whispering to me of the country

Where the sassafras and snakeroot and checkerber

And what's become Of Lizzie Crum and Ana stasia

An Irreverent Farmer.

The official in charge of the correspond
enoe of the agricultural department in
Washington few years ago was a gentle.
man Of education and polish But, above
all, he was conscientious and consum.
mate letter writer. All the courteous ex-
pressions of governmental epistles were at
his fingers ends, and it was n pleasure to
him to impart to them gracefuncss that
governmental letters sometimes lack.
He received scrawly letter one day. 1t
was from Hosea Jones of Goose Run, Wis.
1t was addressed to- the agricultural
deptmcnt, Wash nth, ID. g., and it said,
"Sir l want agricultural report, an be-

request was. The official, having plenty
of time and seeing n chance for harmless

the farmer, informing him of the eager

to give the husbandmen of the nation all
the information it had obtained as the re.
suit of scientific and practical research.

The Valueless Title.

What a bally lot Of idiots foreigners
must think we are, for the way in which
we jump at anything bearing q title which
they may send over herel A fellow has
only to announce himself prince, a count
or q baron, and we rush heller SHELTER to
ask him to dinner, present him to our
women and make 1t possible for him to
marry our daughters. True he may be a
prince in Russia, where that title increases
and multiplies at a dreadful rate, or a
baron in Germany, where barons are as
plentiful as peanuts in Georgia, or q count
in Italy, where counts are all over the
place; nobody stops to question the quality
of the title; the mere fact of title at all
Is enough. 1t is to be hoped that presently
we shall learn that gentlemen with titles
are very like gentlemen with none-they
vary In quality and degree Of merit, and
the title has not one atom of saving grace.

Lawson and the Bottle.

Sir Wilfrid Lawson says that he never
received e Touchdown till, espying n la
borer walking along with the old familiar
black bottle protruding from his pocket,
he entered into conversation with him and
pointed out the misery which had resulted
from the bottle and earnestly exhorted the
man to fec from it's contents. The man
was so overcome that he took out the re-
ceptacle aud empticd the liquor into the
road. Sir Wilfrid's face beamed with
pleasure and, handing the man sixpence,
he said: "Take that. 1t will buy you
something better" The man, to the dis
gust of Sir Wilfrid entered a public house
and spent the siXpcnce in beer. The liquor
he had thrown away was cold tea.

City People Like Hay.

"Hellol" said the policeman to the re-
porter on East Main street the other day.
The reporter stopped and the policeman
drew him into doorway. "Do you see
that load Of hay?' said he as he pointed to
a big wagon standing near the curbstone
"Woll if you want to see something funny
Just watch it for u few minutes"
The two stood there, and soon a well
dressed man came along, evidently in deep
thought He got opposite the hay wagon,
looked up, stopped and then took piece
of hay and went on in deep thought Pref
ty soon Il well known business man hap
pened along, saw the wagon, stepped up to
it and took three pieces of hay. He began
to chew one mcdtativcly and carried the
others off with him. A middle aged WON
an came next, and she, too, pulled out a
piece and carried it with her. Then pref
ty girl in IL blue striped shirt waist and a
straw sailor hat with blue band came
along and had nearly passed when she saw
the wagon, and, after looking around to
see that there was no one whom she knew
watching, stole over and carefully selected
long slender bit. which she carried with
much care. After that everybo from a
dirty faced urchin with a baseball bat TO
nurse girl with II baby carriage, stopped
and selected piece of hay and departed
happy, The policeman and the reporter
stood in the doorway for 30 minutes and
watched the procession.
strange, isn't it, said the policeman.
owe been on this beat for three months,
and I've never seen man, or a woman, or
child pass without taking piece of hay
1t is not so with straw. Why, u load of
straw could stay there for whole day and
not one person in five would think of tax
ing u piece. | think that the reason so
many people take hay is on account of the
sweet taste it has for piece of hay, when
it is in good condition and not too dry is
really very nice thing to chew on. PEG
pie who would rather die than chew -
toothpick on the street think nothing of
going down the street with u long piece of
hay in their mouths as unconcerncd as
three schoolgirls walking abreast. Funny,
isn't it?''
The reporter agreed that it was and then
left. As he passed the hay he involuntarily
reached out his hand and before he was
aware of it he had long piece of hay in
his mouth. He heard queer noise, and,
looking around, he saw the policeman
pointing his club at the wagon and then
at him and laughing. But when the re-
porter returned in about half an hour he
| saw q blue clad figure strolling down the
street with something sticking out in front
! of his shoulder. 1t was the policeman, and
| the reporter smiled as he passed him. He
| had big wisp of hay and was chewing
| it like the rest.-Rochester Post Express
