IT IS INVARIABLY THE CASE.

Fate, with wonted levity, had thrown
the sour and taciturn man into the COM
pany of the talkative citizen in the rail-
way car, says the Washington Star.
That was quite an exciting game of
football, wasn't it?" said the latter, as he
showed a newspaper into the inside pocket
of his fur-trimmed %overcoat.

solemn reply. "Such things are mere van

ALL THE WORLD FIDGETS.

eff I had the power to confer one single

a sensible-looking woman at a recent tea,
'I believe I'd choose the art of sitting
still and keeping absolutely qufet-the
art Of repose, I suppose one might can 1t.
1 don't believe that anything wears more
upon a human being than the constant

times wonder whether I am more nervous
than most persons. Perhaps 1 am, and

TOBACCO AND REVENUE TAX.

The retail tobacconist who sells you
your package of smoking can't tell you
Just how the manufacturer or jobber
makes up for the extra revenue Uncle
Sam has placed on each package for war
expenses, says the Chicago Chronicle. NO
apparent change is noticeable in the size
of the bags or boxes of the standard ar
ticles. In the best-known goods retailers
and jobbers were generally sufficiently
we'll supplied with stocks, stamped before
the war tax became effective, to carry
them along for months. Now the war
taxed products are coming in. The pack
ages all seem to be of the same size and
shape and as familiar in appearance as
of yore. But if you examine closely you
will find that the tobacco is packed in
more loosely n consequently there is
not. so much of it as you got for the same
price six months ago. or course the
manufacturers had to make up the extra
revenue, and that's the way they do 1T,
recognizing that it would be unwise to
change the size, shape or general appear
ance of goods that hold a standard posi-
ton in the market.

WHEN COOKS AWAY.

When cooks away sweet Bessie tries
Her hand at baking beans and pies;
She gets the cook book from the shelf,
And then proceeds to teach herself.
She pores the pages till she thinks
She's mastered all the coughs and drinks
But tho she follows every quirk,
The stubborn recipes won't work.
When cooks away the cake is sad,
The biscuits drop, the coffee's bad,
The bread is never baked enough,
The fish is raw, the meat is tough,
The porridge burns, the gravy Jumps,
And we are in the deepest dumps,
For indigestion comes to stay
And reigns supreme, when cooks away.
When cooks away I fear that the
Recording angel weeps for me,
For it is true, l must confess,
1 tell some fibs to please sweet Bess.
l tell her Gove forgive the crimeD
She'll be a splendid chef in time,
Nor never show by word or look
That 1 am yearning for the cook.

HE NEARLY LOST HIS JOB.

Years ago, when Frank Parmalee was
running his bus line in Chicago, says the
Record, he had a driver named Bob"
and he had his suspicious that he wasn't
getting all the fares he was entitled to.
Bob had a habit of talking to himself,
and one night Parmalee caught him in
the stable reckoning up the days pro-
ceeds. He had emptied his buckskin bag
out on a sack of oats, and was stacking
up silver dollars in two piles. Here's a
dollar for me, and here's a dollar for

and a dollar for Frank" He kept on this

Parmalee broke in on him then, and gath

to ak kindly but firmly to his driver.

which she fiuttered or opened and shut

"A the matinee on Saturday two girls
behind me nibbled some sort of brittle
candy from the time the curtain first

OF course, you think 1 am a crank;
but it irritates me to see how careless
and inconsiderate the average man or
woman is, and what absurd habits most
persons have. When 1 see anyone sit still

In making reference in his speech to
the corruption that prevailed in this
state. he %refrained from abiding to the
methods by which poor Geiger is de-
prived of the seat that belongs to him
in the present state senate, and which is
the circumstance it must be admitted
that a poor selection was made of an in
strument through which to file charges
of bribery, whatever may be the facts in
the case. Mr.. Whitesides' strained eff
fort to produce a dramatic effect, to curl
right up on the foor and die if need be
for the honor of his state, to run down
Clark's enemies with equal ferocity if
he hadn't found them absolutely pure
and incorruptible, and all that, led up to
a suspicion that he was playing a part
in a desperate game.
charges preferred, it canno be denied
that Whitesides o~ver-acted his part and
created the impression that he was play
ing to the galleries for a purpose. The
gentleman from Flathead may nave done
himself an injustice in the way he pre-
Internationally created a wrong impress
sion, but he certainly failed to stampede
that body or to excite in the minds Of the
| members present an unyielding belief in
his sincerity of purpose. The fact was
noticed that all the gentlemen involved
with Mr.. Whitesides in the business of
trying to, secure money from the Clark
ma to be turned over to the legis-
lature, of course, belong to the anti
! Clark wing of the democracy, and were
confessedly acting the role of spies n
detectives for the express purpose of pre-
venting the election Of Mr.. Clark! And
all these gentlemen Operated through
the immaculate Whitesides!
So it would seem that the average good
citizen of this state can afford to hold
his verdict on these charges in allegiance
until they are properly investigated Upon
| their actual merits-let the NAL blow Of
an outraged public fall where It may.
In the meantime, the Inter Mountafnnad-
vises the silver republicans Of this state
to put in most of their time thanking
God that they didn't fuse into this Iurid
democratic cat-hop last fall.

The emperor Of Austria never shakes
hands with anyone below the rank Of
a%rchduke. Kaiser Wilhelm is also averse
to indiscriminate h~andshaking, as is the
Russian czar in a less degree. On the
other hand, King Humbert, a declared
foe to all kinds of court ceremony, always
cordially shakes hands with farmers and
peasants while on excursions in the coun-
try. President Faure of the French re-
public is inclined to be effusive in greet
