A Poser.

The man with a valise and an umbrella
had bought one or two cheap volumes of
fiction, when a more pretentious publica-
ton on counter near the door caught
his attention, says the Washington Star.
1t contained a number of elaborate pict-
ures of NEUROLOGICAL characters, and he
was glancing rapidly through it when one
of the pages attracted his especial atten-
est. He fingered oevr it, turned over sew
eral leaves and then went back After he
had started away and got to the door the
fascination again proved irresistible, and
he was soon gazing thoughtfully at the
same page.
Can we do something more for your"
asked the clerk
"You learn great deal about what's
in these books, don't your" he asked.
I'VE naturally become familiar with the
contents in the course of time" was the
answer
'Well, it will probably be exposing my
ignorance for me to ask it, but wish you
would tell me what it is" and he turned
the book around so that the salesman
could see. 81 never had much chance to
study up on natural history" he added.

That, sir, is a centaur," was the an
swer
His curiosity was not yet satisfied. He
dropped his head over on his shoulder
and looked at the picture with one eye.
Il suppose, he resumed. that this thing
wouldn't bother me so much If I hadn't
recently gone on the road for a patent
medicine firm. That has given me an in
terest in anatomy and physiology and the
like that had never had before. And you
know whenever a man has just taken up
a subject. it's hard for him to get it off
his mind. I don't believe 1 will ever get
over being puzzled about that centaur."

Not long ago one of the most jealous
devotees in the entire society contingent
received a perfumed missive from some
point in the Dupont Circle neighborhood,
delivered at his desk in the House. He
dropped the gigantic affairs of state which
were engaging his no less gigantic intel
lect at the time, read the note, wrote a
reply in a hurry and took it out in the
lobby with his own fair hands to deliver
to the messenger boy.
The boy was sharp as old cider, and as
the representative gave him the precious
document he Winked silly, as If he knew
the Goddess of Liberty was not in it a
