Or slip away ter dreamlan' in the dronin

O blue.

In front of the Journals bulletin boards
reading the news were two venerable To-
gus veterans. apparently strangers to
each other. each appearing to be about
50 years of age. Both bent with age.
and both moving about with the aid of
canes. AS both had been soldiers in the
late war, SO also both had opinions of
their own concerning the having of an
other war. One wore a white beard. ana
the other a gray one. The one with the
white beard opened the ball by declaring:
That's what he want we want peace
and | say it looks like peace. We don
want war. No, no." and he pounded on
the sidewalk with his cane.
go home. go home, you old scala
wag," shouted the old chap with the gray
beard. also pounding the sidewalk with
his cane in great excitement. go home
to the women folks where ye belong.
The old party with the white beard re-
itcrated his remarks about the desirable
ty of peace at any price. which so i'll
censed the gray beard, that he struck at
white beard with his cane not hitting
him. The latter was consistent in his
| desire for peace. and did not retaliate eX-
cept with a profuse flow of indignant pro-
| test and trudged along up Water street.
| leaving the warlike veteran in possession
| of the field.

Most men would rather eat lacks than
answer letters.
Babies are a lot smarter than men;
they can smile SO any woman will want
to kiss them.
A man who tells a woman that he un-
derstands her is a fool-for letting her
know it.
No man can be an absolute optimiSt

The grim rumors of war do not pre-
vent the merry pranks of the boys on
one of their number.
A party of boys were together, Mon
day. and all were cigarette smokers. yet
they are a decent set too. One of the
selecting one himself. proffered the box
to the other boys. All selected one. and
then began the fun. The donors cigarette
went eXcellently, great clouds of the vile
smelling smoke arising from his mouth.
But the other fellows never had d har
der time to light their cigarettes than
that time. They pulled until they could
pull at them no longer, and then they
looked at each other in amazement.
The cigarettes were filled with sawdust.
Another little trick that was played the
other day on children was cruel, yet it
was amusing.
Several little children were playing or
State street, when a boy little older,
went up to them and offered them some
confectionery. OF course they accepted
the offer. with all the alacrity that chill
dren in such cases will show.
They eagerly put the tempting looking
candy in their mouths at once, but there
was ii surprise in store for them. The
ones were soon eXpectoratng lather. and
several of the smaller ones gave vent to
their disappointment in tears.

In ii recent issue of the Portland EN-

ems gave the following little incident con
corning the trials of a business man. who
wore a tall hat and was affeCtionately
fond of his little child:
He is ID well-known business man re-
siding in the western section of the city,
who is somewhat distinguished from
the fact that he is the only man in his
block who always wears a high silk hat
to business. Besides this hat, in which
he takes great pride. the gentleman in
question has a family of small children
of whom he is very fond. He never
fails To kiss them all when he starts out
in the morning. His youngest hopeful
was playing with little toy horse, the
other morning. and he kicked little
when his father interrupted his play
to kiss him good bye. A few minutes
later the pater-familias boarded a car
to come up town. He took his seat IN
side. and soon began to realize that he
was for some reason an object of I'M
usual interest 20 the other passengers.

All meant. Finally young woman
whom he knew sat down opposite to
him. She recognized him and smiled
then she laughed. She laughed out
loud and became almost hysterical. After
Il time she recovered herself sufficiently
to call across to the man: Look at
your hat He removed his tile and was
surprised to see his little boys toy horse
standing on its hind legs on top of his
hat. one OF the legs had caught in the
small ventilation hole in the crown. To
make matters worse. it had been raining
IA little, and the red paint from the toy
had run all over the hat"
