HAD BUT ONE CHANCE.
At Least Pat Thought so and He Accord
ingly Took 1t.

He was big lrishman, and his name
was Pat. He was fixing the telephone
wires and whistlins to himself as he
worked. just then an expressman came
driving down the street like Jehu Pat
made fatal mistake. Instead of attend.
ing to his own business, he tried to work
and watch the reckless driver at the same
time. The consequence was that he did
neither. What he did do was to lose his
footing. There was cry of horror from
the bystanders below, echoed by lusty
yell from above.
Every breath was suspended, and then
a shout of relief went up from the crowd.
Pat had made a frantic dive for the wire
and had caught it.
"Hold on, Patr' shouted some one who
knew him. "We will get you down some
howl" But the speaker stood stock still,
wrinRing his hands.
"Run up town for a mattress!'' yelled
one intelligent individual.
"Get a ladder from somewherer' bawled
another. Nobody seemed to know just
whereabouts somewhere was, and no
one acted upon this suggestion.
''Somebody do somethiGg" commanded
philanthropic looking individual indig
nantly. 1.-THE man can't hola ON forever
I say, do somethingP' he shoutSd, getting
very red in the face and dancing sround
excitedly.
Only one man in the crowd did not say
anything. He was busy climbing mp the
telephone pole.
The excited crowd condescended to no.
tice him finally and saw his intention.
The mixture of foolishness and relief on
its collective face was amusing.
"Hold on, Pat; help is comingP' they
shouted with one voice.
Then wave of horror swept over the
crowd. The man suspended between the
earth and heaven suddenly loosened his
hold and fell backward, striking the
ground with siokening thud.
''He is deadp" groaned the crowd, and
men covered their faces from the sight
But he wasn't. An Irishman has as
many lives as a cat. When Pat came to
and sat up dizzily, trying to realize that
he was once more on terra frma, some one
said to him:
"What did you let go for, PatP Why
didn't you hold on little longer?"
Be jabersl" replied Pat earnestly, "Oi

The Wise Bachelor.

Man proposes, woman seldom refuses.
At this season of the year married men
herd together because they know they all
smell equally of oamphor balls.
The first thing the average girl says aft
or a man has proposed to her is, oh, that
she feels as if she must have loved him all
her life.
Housecleaning probably originated as
an excuse for the women to find lot of
their husbands old clothes that they put
away last year.
The average engaged girl has no idea
how embarrassing it is to be embarrassed.
About half the men get married because
they're able to support wife and half be-
cause they re not.
No woman ever has such perfect conf
dence in her husband that she never tries
to catch him in a trap.
You can always tell how much natural
suspicion woman has by watching her
when she buys strawberries.-New York
Press.

THE BOY AND TIE WOOD.

His father and mother were living, and-weIl.
His brothers and sisters were too.
His pleasures and sports were too numerous to
tell,
His cares and misfortunes were few,
He never had known what it was to be poor,
His clothing was costly and good,
To be kind to his playmates he always was
sure,
But he hated to split the wood.
He'd go to the grocer's for errands galore,
He'd rake up the garden and plant,
The carpet he d beat till both hands were sore,
He rarely was heard to say 'cant,"
And numberless favors he'd do for his friends,
Well up in their graces he stood,
For his father he'd go to the worlds utmost
ends,
But he hated to split the wood
At the sight of an ak he'd fly into rage,
And tears of vexation would rise.
No words whici. write could describe on this
page
The fury that shone from his eyes.
A sensible person, without doubt, he was,
Morally upright and good,
And his rare fits of anger were simply because
He hated to split the wood.
He was no unusual mortal this boy,
And plenty are like him today.
Many men carry burdens and do so with Joy,
While some they'd not carry for pay.
It's simply the boy has grown into the man.
He'd do everything If he could
The thing that he can't do and wishes he can
Is just like the boy and the wood

How 1t Is Graded.

"Of course you don't buy poetry by the
yard" he said to the editor Of the maga-
zine.
Certainly not" replied the editor.
EQUALITY has more to do with the price
than quantity"
"well, would you mind telling me just
how you grade it?"
"Not at all, answered the editor cheer
fully. "We have corps of readers, you
know, and it passes through the hands of
all of them. If the meaning of the poem
is apparent to all, we reject it. If one of
them is unable to make out what the poet
is driving at it is accepted conditionally
and will be used some time within the
next 10 or 12 years if we have room. If it
prove puzzle to two of the readers, we
put it on the hooks to be used at the earli-
est opportunity and to be paid for at a
slightly increased price. If all of the read
ers give it up, we illustrate it, and if no
one about the shop, including myself, can
make even a guess at its meaning we pay
triple rates for it and invite the poet to
become regular contributor. '-Chicago

LITTLE RODNEY'S VIEWS.
Writes What He Thinks About Girls and
Uncle Bill.

Uncle Bill.
The most peculiar thing about girls Is
their peculiarness. They are born that
way. They are so dignified that they don't
have any fun in this life, and SO timid
that they can't fight. Consequently they
generally appear to be pretty considerably
out of place They also giggle at every
thing and nothing. Take away the aver
age girls giggle and her chewing gum,
and wait till her hat blows off, and there
amt anything left worth mentioning.
When they are little, they play with dolls,
and when they grow up they play with
men. A doll hasn't got any sense in the
first place and man amt got any more
sense than doll after g~ has got
.vhrough playing with him good and plen-
ty. She will work hard to get him broken
in, and then she will turn and rend him.
1 have learned the above appalling facts
from listening to my Uncle Bill talk. He is
a bachelor and says he rejoioes in his wild
and buttonless freedom. His nose is kind
er red, too, but no more SO than the mir
ister's. The papers say that married men
live longer than single ones, but Uncle
Bill says they don't-it jest seems longer
to 'em. Some people say Uncle Bill is
wag, but he ain't-he works. He says you
can always tell when a woman commences
to grow old; it's Jest as soon as she begins
to understand why her husband don't
seem to pity his old bachelor friends.
The married men all like Unole Bill
FIRST rate, and so do the little girls, but the
married women says he is an old ripper
bate in the same tone that you use in
speaking of a snake. The old maids say
Mr.. William is-teel heel-so eccentric.
But he amt. He can tell funny stories
that would tickle stone dog, and has got
a laugh on him that would make a sick
man well.
Uncle Bill says If you love woman
with all your heart, mind, soul and pocket
book she'll treat you like crippled step
son, but if you kick and beat her now and
then, fgger-S-ively speaking, she will
adore you. And pa says that-hal hal
remark is good enough to go in a copy
book, but he never lets ma hear him say
it. Ma says Uncle Bill is cynic and
amt got any more heart in his bosom
than that doughnut yonder but 1 saw
him the other day looking kinder peculiar
at faded old photograph of girl that
died 20 years ago, and he kissed it and
didn't know was looking. And when he
turned around and saw me he gimme 10
cents and told me not to squander it at
the gaming table. 1 didn't
This is all 1 know about girls, except
that the man who raises his hand against
woman except in anger is worse than
hypocrite. York journal.
