4 short time since two Young wO-
men entered a tram car in Manches-
ter, England, and found only stand
ing room. One of them whispered
to her companion: l am going to get
a seat from one of these men. You
Just take notice.
She selected a sedate- looking man,
sailed up to him and boldly opened
fire.
My dear Mr.. Green, how delighted
| am to meet you! You are almost a
stranger! Will l accept your seat?
Well, | do feel tired, heartily ad-
NIT! Thank you so much!
The sedate man, a perfect strang-

saying:
Sit down, Jane, my girl; don't of
ten see you out on washing day. You
must feel tired! How's YOUR mis-

In the Woman's Home Companion
Is this characteristic story of the Hon.
isaac Parker, famous as the terrible
Judge at Fort Smith, Ark. who prob
ably sentenced more men to be exc
cuted than any other Judge that ever
lived. One day when there was an
unusually large batch of culprits to
be sentenced the judge looked com
passionately over his spectacles at
one young scamp and said:
"In consideration of the youth and
inexperience of this prisoner, | shall
let him off with a fine of $50
Before the Judge had done speak
ing the very fresh young man coolly
stretched his right leg and ran his
hand in his trousers pocket on the
side, remarking nonchalantly as he
did so:
That's all hunky, judge; I've got
that much right here in my Jeans"
"And one year in the penitentia-
ry," continued the Judge. Then
looking over at the convict in a quiz
zical sort of way, he added: "Do you
happen to have that in your jeans?''

the eyelashes is a mixture of equal parts
of vaseline and cocoanut oil. You must

frequently, is altogether too harsh and

every one.
