HE WAS STRPRISEn

Three hours before Charles Jones was
appointed for chief of police he had no
idea about it. The morning Mayor Ross
returned home he met Mr. Jones on the
street and said as joke:
well, you'll have 10 take it,"
Take what" Mr.. Jones asked
Why this chief of police"
'All right" said Mr.. Jones, when shall
l report?"
The two then fell into a discussion as
to who should really be appointed.
Late that afternoon Mayor Ross was
sitting in a chair thinking the situation
over. when he suddenly thought of Jones
and shot out of bis seat and sailed down
the street. What was a pleasantly in
the morning had become a mighty serious
thing then. After the mayor had con-
WINGED Jones that he was no longer joking
the chief was decided upon then and

ALOW-DOWN TRICK.

The laugh is on one of the blacksmiths
of the city A few days ago he noticed. a
man approach his shop and tie a horse in
front of it then go away and leave ii. He
naturally supposed the man wanted the
horse shod. and as soon as he was not
busy he carefully shod the horse. ex-
pecting the man TO return at any time
for his horse. The man did not come at
noon so he tied the animal around on the
shady side OF the shop and went to dinner.
When he returned from dinner, he found
the horse dead. and then it dawned upon
him that the man had led the horse up to
his shop TO die. and he had done the work
upon him all for nothing. That all his
Ia Dor might not be lost, he took pair
Of plnchers and pulled off all four shoes
from the dead horse.

NO CHECKS ALIKE.

People are sticking their stamps all over
checks. In tee some custom will pre-
vail just as it does in respect TO postage
stamps today. But at present there is
no regularity about the FASTING Of the
stamps. An examination OF bundle of
checks at the Bank of Commerce yester-
day revealed that no two men had select
ed the same place on the checks to stick
the tribute 70 the war. One man had stuck
q proprietary stamp on his check. OF
course documentary stamp is necessary
and his stamp was no good. A draft from
Kansas City was stamped with two one
cent postage stamps surcharged / r. The
surcharge is in great big red letters.

The moon was shining brightly and cast

ly it began TO dawn upon his obtuse think
