France. and Her Joke


One day the eleven-year-old daughter of jour-
neyman humorist sat down in cold blood to build
q joke. Her unconscious humor had brought
many shekels into the house, for she was a
bright child, and her papa was too good busi-
ness manager to allow salable jokes to go un-
sold. This joke. however. was prepared by the
on the market, and the humorist, recognizing in
it a commercial value, licked it of on his type
writer and sent it to market.
BY great good fortune the joke found favor
in the eyes of the editor, who remitted 81 in
payment therefor.
frances said her father, when the check
came, 81 have sold your joke. Here is half
dollar for you."
Frances was happy. She told everybody of hey
literary success. She also told her mamma
Frances" said mamma, papa got more than
so cents for your joke"
s'Did hef' said Frances.
Then she went after papa.
'.Papa, how much did the editor pay you for
my joker she asked
1.-Two dollars"
"And you gave me 80 cents of it,
''Yes; but you see l had to do the work OF
typewriting it. and mailing it, and paying pos.
tage, and sending stamps for its return in case
it was not available"
81 see."
Frances went away. Presently she returned,
s'Papa," she said, '.you charge a high com.
mission for selling jokes. don't your
Papa made no verbal reply. He took $50
from his pockS and handed 1t to her.
She put q dollar carefully in her little purse,
and handed 80 cents back to her papa.
Il think that's about right" she said.

A Matchnlak
(From the New York Tribune

tfrOn tne new 1OEk lTlDune.)
In an informal little note an engaged girl
wrote to her sweetheart: ..Bring your trap for
me at O'Clock, and pray be less stupid than
usiia1.''
This familiar little missive she slipped into
envelope directed to OF the most formal
great DANES of her acquaintance. The note the
young man received was an answer TO 4 dinner
invitation.
There have been instances. however, when the
change of envelopes is intentional. woman
who always manages to get together the people
she wishes at her dinners said once she secured
two difficult and desirable people by sending to
each the invitation intended for the other She
knew they were naturally congenial.
Another strategist affirmed that she made the
match between two Of her friends by changing
the unsealed envelopes which she found on her
mothers writing table inviting both to the same
function. She suspected an attachment, but the
man shy and the maiden was coy.
''This will necessitate call and expana-
tion,'' said Miss Machiavelli, she changed the
notes, "and will give them an opportunity"
The scheme evidently succeeded. for the
night of the dance the engagement was an,

Training for citinenship.

The New York World" observes that
there should be in every high school in
Greater New York a class for the train
ing of voters in which young men should
be instructed as to the laws governing the
country and their particular city as we'll
Like a great many other ideas this is
good in theory, and might be good in prac-
tice if the conditions were only little diff
ferent. The trouble is that such a class
ernment so long as the adult population
is what it is. If the young men found,
when they came to cast their first votes,
that all they learned in school was con-
sidered impractical, visionary, and un-
sound, by their fathers, brothers, and
uncles, in practical politics, they would be
very remarkable young men IL they did
not in time correct their views to cores
pond with the ideas of the majority.
Moreover. the average young man wants
to earn a living; sometimes he needs
money very badly, and when he finds that
he cannot earn a living unless he holds cer-
tain political ideas. he is not likely to de-
lay his conversion very long. II a class
for the training of voters is not supported
by public sentiment it will not do much
more good than class in good English
for the benefit of children who hear bad
and ungrammatical English spoken during
most of their waking hours.
The colleges have taken up this matter of
the training of voters to some extent, and
they can do it rather more effectively than
the high school could, because they deal
largely with young men born to a certain
amount Of influence. The leayen which
they have injected into some phases Of

a large number of such men can be very
effective in securing good government II
they are united In common cause.
But after ALL what is badly needed just
now is not so much knowledge as determi-
nation to do the right thing. and not
SO much determination as ability to live
up to ones own knowledge. Many OF
our social and political problems are sim
pie enough but for the; wicked win of one

this time Lawton must have captured the
stores deposited by the Tagal leader at

is. Vigan is in our hands. Alejandrino's S
brigade has been routed at Mangatarem,
and the insurgent forces are fast melting
away. Congress will not have much of an
insurrection to worry over by next Monday.
