They Saw the Point.

An American farmer near Guadala-
jara convinced his Mexican neighbors
that oxen can do more work under
American yokes, so generally used in
the republic. The American brought
several modern Jokes from the United
States and used them with success.
The curiosity Of his Mexican friends
was aroused, and they proceeded to
ask questions.
"Well," said the American, when
you lasso a steer and the lasso gets
around his neck what do you doY'
Turn him loose" was the reply.
"Why?"
because he's too strong for US that
way"
"That's it." answered the American.
"His strength is In his neck. not in his
horns"
The Mexicans saw the point, and
now Jokes Of United States manufac-
ture are generally used in that neigh
borhood.-Modern Mexico.

Man and His Tailor.

A man can be measured to the best
advantage, tailors say, away from a
glass. Standing before a mirror he is
almost certain to throw out his chest,
If he does not habitually carry it so,
and take an attitude that he would
like to have rather than the one he
commonly holds, whereas the tailor
wants him, as the portrait painter
wants his subject, in his natural pose
and manner. With the man in that at
htude the tailor can bring his art to
bear, If that is required, in the over
coming Of any physical defect and pro-
duce clothes that will give the best at
ta1nable effect upon the figure as they
will be actually worn--New York Sun.

HIS HEAD LIKES THE HEAT.
But the Negro Always Tries to Keep
His Heels Cool

But the Negro Always Tries to Keep
His Heels Cool.
It has often been said that the ca
pacity of the negro race for enduring
heat has never been fully tested. An
incident related by dairyman living
on the outskirts of the city seems to
bear out this assertion. .... ..5
This dairyman has young negro
boy who looks after the cattle and
does chores around the place. The on
ly effect that the heat produces in his
case is a desire to slumber. The dairy
man had young calf in the barnyard,
and as the sun was pouring in on the
poor animal his wife sent "Carlina"
out to turn the calf loose, so that he
could seek shady spot. After wait
ing an hour for his return the house
wife went to the barnyard to investi-
gate. There she found both boy and
calf curled up in the hot and sitting
barnyard. The calf was dead from
the effects of the sun, but the boy was
slumbering peacefully by it's side.
While negro can stand any amount
Of heat on his head he loves to cool his
heels. 1t is a common sight >in the
winter to see negro boy on a frosty
morning with his head bundled up to
keep out the cold and at the same time
walking unconcernedly along the
frosty ground in his bare feet. One Of
the hottest places in the city on a hot
day is at the lumber wharfs of the
Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
road. When the men knock off for
noon, they frequently take nap with
their faces upturned to the rays Of the
blazing sun. At the same time they
get their feet under the shadow Of
some friendly lumber pile Florida

Paul w. Heinrich, the real estate

'No, sir; Mr.. Badger isn't fool enough

then he stands on the bank and reach

little tuft of hair out Of his tail. Now
listen closely. With that bunch OF
hair in his mouth he turns around and
backs slowly down into the river. The
vermin naturally crawl to keep out Of
the water and begin to wend their
way toward his neck, and as he dips
himself down deeper into the water
they hasten to his nose and then out
on to the bunch of hair which he holds

that they are all out on that little tuft,
he opens his mouth and let's the cur
