Yawning

From the Cleveland Plain DealeF.J
A young woman in tue West made an
evening call not long ago. Unfortunately
she was persuaded To remain beyond her
usual time for retiring.
AT O'Clock she yawned.
Ii neT friends noticed this they said
nothing. Pc ssibly they rednIbled their
efforts to entertain her
At 9:05 she yawned again.
Tins was large free-for-alf yayru. aud
the young romans hasty effort 10 hide it
behind her san was quite unsvailing. Her
frientls We're slightly alarmed at the
breadth and earnestness of this open
mouthed demonstration and they practi-
caHy strove to win her attention
At 9:OS she yawned for the third and
last time. Her Jaws flew apart. there Was
a sharp era TX, and when sine tried TO close
her mouth II wouldn't close. There she
sat boxing hefpIessIy at her friends with
her mouth stretched clear beyond the limit.
OF COURSE, hey spraug to her assistance
but their efforts We're in vain Do what
they would, they couldn't replace those
bony foIdin- doors. So they hurried he~
off to the hospital, and there the surgeons
fixed up the diSi9cari0n and sent the young
woman home to sleep.
The moral here is q plain one Don't
urge people to stay after they have once
yawned. II may not be flatterfng to your
powers of pleasing, but it is a blamed sight
better than hospital trips.

FASCINATING FIRE ENGINE.
There Is a Never-FaiIing Attractive
ness About 1t In Whatever
Phase 1t May BE Seen.

''There is something fascinating al
ways" said Mr.. Goslington to a New
York Sun man, "about a steam fire en-
CINE. I could stand and watch one by
the hour, and find plenty of people
that feel just the same way about it,
and we, that is to say, the people that
love the fire engine, can do that if it isn't
doing a blessed thing but just standing
in the street. What mean is this:
ST happened the other day to see a
fire that was over in a minute; men put
it out without throwing a stream on it.
But this engine that speak of hooked
on to hydrant and was ready to throw
water if it was needed. 1t wasn't, and
they took off the suction, put it back in
place on the engine, and drew the fire,
and then stood there just waiting to be
ordered home; driver up and everything
all ready.
but the people looking on didn't go.
From the time the engine had halted
at the hydrant they had been stand
ing around on the sidewalk, a cres-
cent-shaped fringe of men and boys;
and they remained immovable now, my
self among them, when it was all over
but the going home. The engine was
fascinating still, with its three pow
erfu1 horses, with its FURNISHED smoke
stack and fittings, and its Kissing steam,
and its suggestion of power everywhere,
and we just stood there and looked at it,
and waited five minutes, I guess, maybe
ten, just to hear the bell clang and see
the driver gather up the reins and turn
the great team and start off on the way
back to the house."

MANNERS OUTSIDE THE NAVY.
An Instance Showing That old Sea
Dogs Have Little Respect for
Land Lubbers' Ways.

The ordinary seaman's respect for
rank and station when not connected
with his beloved vessel is decidedly
meager, says a writer in an article en-
titled "On a Man-of- War" When the
president of the United States visits one
of our men-of-war he is received at the
gangway by the admiral, commanding
officer, and all of the officers of the ship
in full uniform, the crew at quarters
for inspection, the marine guard drawn
up with the band on the quarter deck,
the national flag is displayed at the
main, the drummer gives four Duties,
the band plays the national air and
salute of 21 guns is fired. The same
ceremony also takes place on his Ieav-
ing.
On one occasion the president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
with the salute and ceremony, when
one of the men rather Indignantly
asked another who that 1ubber was on
the quarterback that didn't "douse his
peak to the commodore.
Choke your huff, will you," was the
reply; that's the president of the
United States"
"Wellf Amt he got manners enough
to salute the quarterback if he is ?"
''MannersI What does he know about
manners? I don't suppose he was ever
out of sight of land in his life"

LETTERS TO SPAIN.
How Communications Must Be Sent
These Wartime Days-Can-
not BE Sent Direct.

s'Of course all communication with
Spain and Cuba, so far as mail is con-
cerned, has been suspended" explained
a post office official to a Washington
Star reporter, ''but that does not mean
mail from other countries is cut off.
For instance, our post offices return all
letters addressed to Spain or Cuba with
q stamp thereon to the writer's, inform
ing them of suspended mail arrange
ments. A letter, however, can be got to
Spain or any of its possessions except
Cuba, which is bIockaded against all
corners, by a little diplomacy and tact.
If a letter is sent to Canada or London,
or indeed any British possession and
mailed there, it will be sent to
any Spanish possession, for there
is no interruption with the mail
arrangements except directly between
this country and Spain. By the same
arrangement any letter can be sent to
this country from any Spanish posses
sion if the precaution is taken to have it
sent to London and remailed there, IN
der British stamp. With Cuba, how
ever, mail communication is cut off as
clean as a whistle, and the world has
been officially informed by the regular
formal proclamation that there is
blockade in existence there, and that
no vessel will be allowed to land there,
Notwithstanding the terms of the In
ternational Postal union, a proviso to
which arranges for just such condi-
ton of things, war, as now exist. The
Cuban is not ready letter writer, and
he can stand any deprivation as re-
CARDS his mail. Indeed, he is just about
as happy whether he gets it or not.
There has been but very little mail COM
munication between Cuba and Spain
until during the past couple of years,
during which there has been very
large force Of Spanish soldiery there.
This has perceptibly increased the
mail"

MOTHER DEAD-MADF HUMoR
Heartrend1nE News for Mimic Ru-
dinOR, But He Had to Anuse
the Audience.

NJ. Rudinoff, French mimic, and Ger
aid Griffin, a comedian, were chatting
together in the dressing room of the
former at Keith's Union Square, says
the Dramatic Mirror. Rudinoff was in
particularly good spirits, as he had just
been handed batch of mail from Eu-
rope. "Seel seei" he exclaimed, slap
ping Griffin on the back, '1ettairsl Let
tairs from my homel How glad it
makes me to get themI"
He kissed one of the envelopes and
tore it open, laughing all the while. He
had only read a line or two when he
gasped and fell back with his hand upon
his heart, exclaiming, with tears in his
eyes, which had only moment before
glistened with laughter: Mon Dieu!
Non Dieul Ny friend, my mother is
dead!"
A moment later the callboy an
nounced: "Rudino4f nextI" The gush-
ing tears had to be dried, the face had
to wear a masking smile, and in a few
seconds the big audience was laughing
merrily at the antics of a man whose
heart was burdened with the saddest
news that can come to any man, the
news of the death of good mother.

ONE EXAMPLE AT LAST.
But Nevertheless Became Prom

There was a young man from New

ago, says the Plain Dealer. He was a
great taIker on the theme of social
democracy and had all the writers on
the subject and a good deal of what
they said at his tongues end.
@Bah," he said, ''the worst forms of
sham aristocracy are found in the west.
Out here you give social recognition
only to the money bags a man carries.
We are bad enough in New York, but
we don't look down upon humble be-
ginnings as you do here. Pm told that
the only thing to make your society
people pardon mans humble par
entage is a busheI of bonds or other
wealth.
Somebody has told you wrong"
laughed his Cleveland entertainer.
'Can you point me out a single in
stance that will prove me wrong?"
queried the positive New Yorker.
They were at the opera house and the
Cleveland man looked over the audi
ence.
"Yes," he answered. Notice the
young man in the fourth row, end seat,

yes, see him.
well, that young man is one of our
prominent citizens, both in business

VIA PNEUMATIC TUBE.
The Way Dinners May BE Served in
the Near Future If We So
Desire 1t.

An inventor has worked out a scheme
by which a restaurant company, or c
municipal kitchen like that al Grenoble,
France, could supply any number of
patrons with hot dinners via pneumatic
tube, and do away at the same time
with dish washing in the home, says tbs
Philadelphia Times.
The idea is to lay a pneumatic sub
way from the manufacturing kitchen
or restaurant, with branches to the
dining-rooms Of patrons. At the proper
points valves worked by electricity
from the restaurant shut off the tube
ahead and divert the vessels travelling
in the tube to the house for which they
were intended.
The various edibles, including soups,
dessert, etc, are to be inclosed in air
tight metal balls, enameled in different
and pleasing colors. These balls will
have tops that unscrew, and each pa
tron viii be provided with proper tool
to unscrew his dinner. He will then set
the lids to one side, place the pretty
circular dishes made of the lower
halves in wire or other stands on his
dining-room table, and proceed to dine.
After each meal he will screw the
covers on again, drop the balls, with all
refuse, back into return pneumatic
tube, and light his cigar in peace, with
no worry about dish washing, and moth
ing else to do but pay the bills.

That He Had to Draw the

A certain southern congre ssman was
heard entertaining a company of his
colleagues last week in the democratic
cloak room of the house with an &C
count of an unusual experience, says
the Washington Post. During the
woman suffrage convention" said he,
several ladies from my district were
present. Early in the convention one
of them came to the capitol, called a
my committee room, and requested an
interview, which was readily granted.
She stated that the woman suffrage
delegates were to have some sort of a
public meeting, in which she was to
participate, and requested that I should
provide a floral tribute to be presented
to her on that occasion.
Il was naturally somewhat taken
aback at the suggestion. I supposed in
the course of my IL years in congress
that I had exhausted about every
variety of duties that a member of the
house is called upon to perform.

GOODNESS OVER THE FLAG.
Flung to the Breeze In the Night 1t
Sent Terror to a Friends
Heart.

There is a painful GOODNESS between
two women who live in a big apartment
house uptown, and an American flag is
at the bottom of it. The flag is huge
affair, made of bunting. The woman
who owns it says in extenuation that
her husband bought it, and that you
know how men are about buying things.
It came home late one evening last
week, and its patriotic owner insisted
on f1inging it to the breeze at once, that
it might wave all night. Accordingly
the pole was fixed to the window sill,
and Old Glory streamed out into the
night, says the Washington Post.
The woman who occupies the apart
ment Immediately under the window
from which the flag hung is a very nerv-
Gus person. That night she was awak-
ened by a soft, swishing sound against
the window. 1t was like the rustic of a
garment, and the nervous woman
thought first of burglars and secondly
of ghosts. She was afraid to get out of
bed to look out of the window, but she
huddled up with her back to the wall
and shivered the night away.
Again and again she was sure she
heard soft, ghostly fingers at the win
dow. She could feel her hair turning
white. She says she didn't sleep wink.
After 80 or 40 hours, she says, morning
came, and she ventured to the window
and raised the blind. There hung the
flag, Tipping against the window with
every breeze.
The nervous woman is courageous by
daylight. She drew a table to the VIM
dow, climbed upon it, pulled the win
dow down from the top, and, reaching
out as far as she could, calmly proceed
ed to cut the end of the flag off. The
woman who owns it says that anybody
who would mutiIate her country's flag
is a traitress, and the woman who did
it says that some people haven't the
sense they ought to have been born
with, and, as I began by saying, there is
a marked GOODNESS up at that apartment
house.

CATNIP FOR THE CATS.
1t Was the Means of Making a Young
Man of Boston Popular with
the FeIines.

Speaking of cats, a young man living
in East Lexington has become the hene-
factor of several down town Toms, who,
having passed their lives in Office build
inlgs, never tasted the intoxicating cat
nip. He is a great friend of cats in gen
eral, and when he began work in the
city the first thing he noted was the
useful animals that prowled around the
corridors, patrolling for rats, relates
the Boston Herald. So this young man
from East Lexington took pity on their
condition by filing his pockets with
fresh catnip and freely distributed it
among the crowd on arriving at his
place of business. The effect was in
stantaneous- The Pied Piper of Ham
elm was nowhere. Such an experience
these creatures may have dreamed, but
had never realized, and some nearly had
fits, the herb was so in intoxicating, while
others vainly tried to express their
gratitude for the kind attention.
Therefore, don't forget the downtown
business cat. RecolIect he needs his
salad as much as the human being.
See that he has some grass to eat now
and then, and a little catnip to cheer
him up when. times are hard.

Reversed.

A golf match was in progress on one
of ScotIand's famous greens, and a
couple of the players were very uneven
ly matched. One was shortsighted, and,
much to the disgust of his caddie, had
made some extremely bad shots.
How far is it to the next hole, cad
dep he asked, peering through his
speetacles in the direction of the white
flag.
"a guide drive and a putt" answered
the caddie, sharply.
The player drove, but only sent the
ball few yards.
