ALL He CRAvED.-The proprietor
of the restaurant had just issued a new
advertisement intended to call atten'
ton to a reduction in rates. After
quoting the prices of the various arti
cles to conclusively demonstrate the
fact that everything was cheap, he add
ed at the bottom of the advertisement
"Bread, butter and potatoes Free"
He knows better now. If he had to
do it over again he would word it
little differently, and all because
solemn looking man came in one day
and after taking his place at table
pointed to the advertisement and ask
ed:
"Is that on the square?"
"Certainly," replied the waiter.
"Then give me some bread, butter
and potatoes" said the man.

waiter.
"Nothing else," replied the man

A GAME THAT FAILED.-At For'
Sheridan cavalry regiment was being
examined physically before being mus
tered out, those who were found dis
abled in any way being recommended
for a pension. At sitting of the ex,
amining board a trooper presented
himself who claimed to have become
totally deaf. If he could prove this,
it would entitle him to neat stipend
for the rest of his days. The officers
asked him various questions about his
deafness but he apparently failed to
hear any of them. They tried to sur
prise him into making some remark
which would show that he was sham
ming but they could do nothing of the
kind. Finally one of the officers held
a watch to the mans ear, while anoth'
er stepped to the end of the room.
"Now, them" said the officer at
distance, speaking in al ordinary tone
of voice, "can you hear that, sir ?"
"No, sir" was the prompt reply.
The applicant was not recommended
for a pension.-Chicago Journal.
