They all have lots of pride. Each thinks
he knows great deal more than all the
rest besides. So when the wind was
whistlin an the fire was gettin low
Uncle Bill walked in the room an said
he'd make it go. 1t was an awful
shame, he said, an he raised up all his
ire, to think that no one in the house
knew how to fix fire. So he turned
the hampers all around, an poked it
from the top, an dropped the scuttle

AND now it is claimed that the
Japanese knew all about the x ray

been calmly amusing themselves
with it. UP to the time of war be-

COULDN'T DIE AFTER ALL.
Kansas Editor Has News Scoop
Spoiled.
Yours Respectfully.
M. f. BLOCH.

The following comes from breezy
Kansas and is vOuched for as being
true:
Topeka, Kas., March 13-Jacob I.
Hole, prominent in republican politics
and editor of the Washington Post
Register, believing on Thursday that
he would die within twenty -four hours
of an incurable malady, sent messen-
ger to his office instructing his assistant
to hold the publication of his paper one
dav so that it might announce his
death and thus get a scoop on the 9TH
er papers of the town. He then sent
for a quartette of singers, and, after Sc
lecting some hymns to be sung at his
funeral, had them rehearsed in bis
presence, his wife playing the organ III
the next room. One not suiting him he
selected another and had that re-
hearsed. Then he made other arrange
ments for his funeral and dismissing
all but his immediate family, resigned
himself to his fate, but instead of dying
he grew stronger, and when the paper
came out it contained, not the prom
ised SCOOP" but a statement of bis
condition written by himself.
