THE INGENIOUS MAN.
His Invention WA. Forgotten In Time
OF Need.

He was very ingenious man. He had
made an invention which was of great value.
He thought SO, at least, if the world did not,
and he had his invention patented. 1t
was combination camp-stool, cane and UNI
brella. The cane was the usual form of the
invention. At big parade nothing could be
more convenient, and for an ordinary, unex-
pected rainstorm, what could be better?
a man is sure to have his walking stick with
him.
1t was not SO very long after the invention
had been perfected that the man was out
walking with his wife, and sudden shower
came up. There We're no cars accessible, and
the only thing to do was to run, and the
unlucky pair did this with a vengeance,
reaching the house hot, uncomfortable, and
pretty wet.
well, we are here at last" said the man,
drawing long breath of relief.
Yes" said the wife, disconsolately, sfbut
think I have ruined my new bonnet. And,
John Smith, she added, suddenly, with a
little scream. what do you think you have
done: You had that old invention of yours
-cane-camp-stool-u affair-in your
hand all the time ready for an emergency,
and forgot to use it.
The man tells the story, and thinks it is
a great joke.-N. Y. Times.

HE MEANT WELL.
But His Carelessness Got Him Into
Trouble with His Girl.

Trouble with His Girl.
a young gentleman, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary means,
sought to remedy this defect and save the
money required for the purchase of Inexpensive
flowers by arranging with gardener to let
him have bouquet from time to time in re-
turn for his cast-off clothes.
1t thus happened one day that he received
bunch OF the most beautiful roses, which
he at once sent off to his lady love-, In sure
anticipation of friendly welcome he called
at the house of the lady the same evening
and was not a little surprised at the frosty
reception he met with.
You sent me note to-day the young
lady remarked, after a pause, in the most
frgid tones.
ia note?' he inquired, in blank aston
shment
Certainly; along with some flowers
''To be sure sent you some flowers
"And there was note inside-do you still
mean to deny ?"
With these words she handed the dunn

following words were written: Don't for
get the old trousers you promised me the
other day."-Tit-B Bits.

LONDON TIMES THINKS
SPAIN Is "BLUFFING"

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Times, COM
menting editorially this morning upon
the Spanish suggestion Of arbitration
regarding the Philippines. refers to 1t
as obviously futile and absurd"
1.-The Spanish cabinet" says the
Times, ''has no real intention of break
ing off the negotiations. 1t is only pro-
longing them in order to familiarize
the public mind in Spain with the in
evitable concessions.
Certainly there is no need for the
United States to send a fleet to Spain,
as they could easily enforce submission
without that. Spain would be foolish
to sulk and thus lose the money COM
pensation America is now willing to
pay"
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times, referring to the structures of
some Austrian newspapers on Amer
ica's action regarding the Philippines,
says:
These attaclzs~ can positively as
sert, in no way represent the attitude
of the Government. Neither Emperor
Francis Joseph nor any of his advisers
