His scheme Did Not Work.

A Phoenix man tells good joke on
himself. The Gazette says: He said
he came home from "lodge" just at
daylight the other morning, and find
ing the wife of his bosom sound asleep,
undressed with great care and tried to
slip into bed without disturbing her.
Just as he had donned his night shirt
his wife opened her eyes and asked
what he was getting up 80 early for.
He had to make the bluff good, and in
order to do so was Obliged to dress
himself again and 90 down town to his
place OF business. He paralyzed the
clerks by having a FIRE built in the
store when they came down. He is
thinking ups new scheme for the next
time he goes home "early."

ODDS AND EN- Ds.

During 1896 there were one thou
sand four hundred and seventy-two
pairs OF twins and twenty-seven cases
OF triplets born in the State OF Massa-
chusetts.
Down in Fresno pretty girls are
doing the church ushering in order to
draw a crowd. The Marysville Appeal
meanly says that the Raisin City
always was full Of bunco games.
From this time out the officers who
served in the war Of the Rebellion in
the regular army are authorized, by
an Act OF Congress, to bear the title
and on occasions OF ceremony to wear
the uniform Of their highest rank.
London in 1896 had 4. .433. .0ls peo-
pie, Greater New York has 1924 ,S65,
and Paris 2,5ll ,955. The area OF Lon
don is 6S8 square miles, OF Greater
New York 359 square miles and OF
Paris l72. In Londop there are $50
miles OF streets, in Greater New York
200 miles, and in Paris 600 miles.
The Rev. Culpepper of Kansas City
says: "When a man is % and un-
married he ought to be taxed 800;
when 20 he should be taxed 5000. The
tax should be increased 800 year
until he is 80. Then, il he is not mar
ried. he ought to be put in the peni-
tentiary. The average man who lives
to 80 unmarried is not fit to marry
pure woman" Why not let the women
have say in the matter?
A wisely conducted newspaper is
like banquet; everything is served
up with view to variety. Help your
self to whatever you wish; and do not
condemn the entire spread because
pickles and onions may be included.
II you do not relish them somebody
else may find them palatable. Be gen
erous and broad enough to select
gracefully such reading matter from
the newspaper as will be agreeable to
your mental taste. You, as an in
dividual. are not compelled to swallow
everything. We do not all think alike
on every subject; and it is good
thing, as it makes more variety, and
variety is the spice Of life. ."-Ex-

Nevada may be q barren waste Of
alksli covered with sagebrush, jack
rabbits, pugilists and Piutes, but
blessed is he who ever resided in Ne
vada. John CARRIER was walking along
Market street the other evening when
an old man shabbily dressed and hall
intoxicated staggered directly in his
way, seized him by the lapel and as
he wabbled about unsteadily inquired
"Hello, John, hsr ye?"
"First rate, Joe" and the attorney
thrust a dollar in his hand.
"Why did you give that old hobo
money!" asked his company.
"Why? Oh, | knew him in Ne
vada."
One day last week feeble old man
totteied into the chambers OF Chief
Justice Beatty Of the Supreme Court.
He had been two hours running the
gauntlet Of clerks. janitors and bailiffs
who knew he was an old nuisance and
wanted to throw him out.
"How are you Judge?" was his
greeting.
First rate, Dick. how do you find
yourself?" replied the Chief Justice.
Poorly, poorly, l just dropped in to
have you look over some papers for
me and see il they are all right"
The Chief Justice spent an hour
fixing up some pension papers and in
dulging in "reminiscences with the old
man.
81 used to know him in Nevada, "
he explained to a colleague on the
bench who had been awaiting the
Chief Justices pleasure.
Hardly day passes that one does
not hear some act Of charity explained
by the statement:
al used to know him in Nevada"
IL is always accepted as a complete
justification Of any act short Of muir
der, and would be considered an ex-
cuse for that's. +. Post.
