The Cranberries soured.

One of the prominent physicians here
in town owns cranberry bog up on
Cape Cod. Two or three years ago he
entertained an English cousin, and at
dinner one night there was cranberry
sauce. The Englishman was delighted
with it. Indeed, he expressed bis
pleasure SO much and so often that
after he had returned to London the
doctor sent him over a barrel of fine
Cape Cod cranberries. A month or so
passed, and then came a letter from the
Englishman. "My dear so-and-so,", it
said, 'it was awfully good of you to
send me those berries, and thank you.
Unfortunately, they all soured on the
way over."-Washington Post.

"FlIRTATION WALK"

Years Too Late.

One of the guests at The West Pom
ball the other evening was a lieuten-
ants wife who had never been there
before. Five years ago she married Il
West Point man, and, rom hearsay.
she was familiar with every stick and
stone about the place. But it was the
first time she had set foot upon West
Point soil. She was. therefore. highly
delighted at this first experience. Her
enthusiasm knew no bounds. and her
husband declared her to be the worS,
West Point struck girl he had ever seen.
She was, moreover. determined TO enjoy
the experience to the full. Now, Tom"
she said. after she had "taken in" all
the regulation sights" "ycu must take

I'd rather see il than all these other

being dutiful husband. accordingly

sentimental associations. But, oh,

"Pomp" has gone into the undertake
ing business. For many years Pompey
has lent dignity TO one of the prom
inent clubs in the city, but his business
instincts were too strong for him to
keep on mixing drinks and manipulate
ing trays. So he IS now associated with
popular colored undertaken.
Before taking the step Pompey did q
little figuring.
'I'se gittin' long purity OIL" he al
lowed, "'n Use liable to die mos any

Dat means big sabin' on n funeral, N

inter de undertaken business. Jes'

Still Pompey has kept up his inter
est in the club. He was fixture there
so long that he could not be dropped
out suddenly. Oftentimes, as he re-
turns from some exceptionally pleas
ant funeral, he drops in at the club to
dilate upon its beauties to his old com
rades, tom" and Russ 1t was,
therefore. quite natural that he should
pay Russell n friendly visit the other
day, when the latter was taken sick
Hello, Russ" said Pompey, as he
entered the room where the invalid lay.
"How yo' feelin' to-day?"
"Mizzabul. Pomp, mizzabul," said the
sick man. ~ feel purity sick"
'How's things at the club?" said the
business-like but tactful Pompey, steer
ing the talk to a safe subject.
Purity fair. Pomp; purity fair,
reckon" was the reply. II hain't been
there fur n week an more"
The conversation went on in this way
for a short time. Pompey then decid-
ed to launch out boldly and head for the
desired port.

HATPIN USED ON A DONKEY.
How q soft-Hearted woman's Patience

amusement of his numerous guests, the
host of a handsome summer house not
far from Chicago purchased donkey.

able to extract any amount of fun out
of trying to ride the patient animal.
| He was as nice little donkey as could
be found anywhere, but he had the pc
culiar traits of his race. When he made
up his mind to stand still there was
no earthly power that could persuade
him TO change it. There were horses
and ponies and everything on the place
that one could wish to drive, but when
there is a donkey it would seem that
there could be no reason why he should
not be used occasionally. So the other
night the host harnessed the long-eared
steed into q donkey cart and started to
drive him out into the road. He went
all right until he arrived opposite the
piazza, where he stopped. and, beyond
pensively waving enc ear, refused to
move. The driver was tender-heartetl,
but at the end of a series of gentle. per-
suasive requests to move. the walloping
began. There was chorus from the
piazza. where there was n charming
asemblage of ladies. "Oh, don't"
poor little fellow" you'll hurt him."
"Try little coaxing." Then the driver,
with contracted brows. jumped 10 the
ground, and remarked that if there was
anyone on that piazza who understood

him or her try. The challenge was ac-
