WHY THEIR NOSES WE'RE RED.

POIitcness Carried to an Unusual Ok
tremc the Cause of Disagreement.
Three young women who boarded n
street car the other day were evidently
dressed for u reception, and carried
card cases in their Frenchily gloyed
hands. They attracted much attention,
which was not surprising, as they were
young and would have been handsome
but for a similarity of facial misfortune
each one had prominent red nose,
which presented lurid and remark-
able appearance.
Fortunately for the peace of mind Of
the other passengers on the car, wom-
an--also in gala dress-knew them well
enough to ask with great astonish-
ment:
What in the world has happened TO
you all?"
"Oh, haven't you heard2 Weare go
ing to Mrs. H-'s reception"
$50 am /. But mean what has hap
pened to your noses2"
Nothing. Our noses are all right.
But haven't you heard about Mrs.

"Why, she fell off her bicycle and
skinned her poor nose. The cards were
out already for this reception, and she
| felt so badly about her Disagreement
that her dearest friends decided TO show
their sympathy by wearing the same
kind of a nose TO the reception"
"Oh, you sweet thingsl But why die
you not let all her friends lSnow2
would have been delighted to have got
up my nose in the same style, but l sup
pose IL Is too late now"
They left the car together, and two
women who had been listening with a
lend-me-your-ears intenseness looked
at each otherwith untranslatable mean
ing as one feebly gasped;

RICHES FORCED UPON HIM.
Kept in the West by Poverty, He III
nuIIy Found Fortune.


The old gentleman who is back from
the west on a visit made some astound-
ing statements. He had grown rich in
spite of himself. He had actually tried
to run away from a fortune, but it
would not permit him to escape. Then
It was insisted upon by his friends that
he give them something more explicit.
"Well, 1 went out there with just
enough money to make the first pay
ment on a farm, stock it in a modest
way, get the necessary implements and
buy seed. The first season the grass
hoppers came. and they came like the
locusts of Egypt, in devastating clouds.
They left the ground as smooth as the
palm of your hand. l was forced to
stay, because I had no money with
which to get back. BY borrowing and
saving we managed TO live and plant
the next season. When everything
promised a bountiful harvest a cyclone
struck us, one of those rip-snorting fell
lows that carries everything with IT,.
We were like people stranded on des-
ert island, but we found a speculator
willing to loan, with nothing but our
dismal prospects for security, and stint
ply stayed there because there was no
escape. My folks in the east could af-
ford me no assistance, and l often
wished that the cyclone had picked us
up with the other movables.
"But the next year we had glorious
crops. That was 20 years ago, and we
have had them ever since without a
break. Now I have 1000 acres under
cultivation. 1 have q big ranch and a
sure market for my cattle. In a short
stretch of mountain that bought just
to get good water for the stock there is
a gold mine that will always do a little
better than keep the wolf from the
door. Could have returned when ]
