Jealousy.-Smethport Miner.
We regret to inform Col. Olson and
other shining lights that we have thus
far been unable even to get into the
clubs cellar. At the last meeting of
the club desperate effort was made
to extend the limit of the charter
to include Smethport. The chair
ruled the motion out of order, stating
it was one of our tricks ''to get Bert
Olson, Jas. Mexican, Frank Wright
and Geo. Mitchell, of Smethport, into
the club, and then close the charter.
The reputation of this club would then
be at stake and we might be forced
to take in even Sam Lindsey and
Mulin, to hold them down." We are
afraid your reference to the club will
keep us out, made just at the time we
fondly hoped to add you loving and
amiable lights of truth.

VANITY OF GREATNESS.
One Young Man Who Found Ont That
He Never Would he
Missed.

"You seemed depressed this evening"
said Hamblin, as Ffagg, who was generally
ON pretty good terms with himself, lit his
eighth cigarette and then threw It away,
after taking two whiffs.
Yes, / am" was the reply. There's no
use trying to be anybody in this world"
..Oh, come, brace up, Hamblin urged.
whats gone wrong? You ought to be
ashamed to let yourself be cast down, after
the streak OF good luck you've had: Here
you are on the sunny side of 80, and a firm
doing business of 81 ,O00, 900 a year has
made you its chief buyer, with a salary that
would keep three or four good-sized families
in luxury. You've had a trip to Europe at
the houses expense and you

struck the very thing that bothers me. You
know Miss Dolliver-that beautiful, stately
girl L introduced you to one night In the
Burkwells' box?
Il called on her last evening. I used to
call there every week or. two, before / start
ed across to the other side. Well, more
than three months had elapsed since had
seen her last. Of course, l concluded that
my trip was an apology enough for the fact
that had not called lately, so without any

Paris. What do you think she said.:"

HE DID NOT have IT.
How a JoshinE Judge Sailed Down
Delightfully."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoet Visscher tells this char
acteristic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be ex-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was so
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot of GRIM
inais to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch of
cuiprits to be sentenced, the judge looked
compasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said:
In consideration of the youth and in
experience of this prisoner 1 shall let him off
with a fine of $50"
Before the judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man coolly stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonchalantly
as he did so:
That's all hunky, judge: I've got that
much right here in my jeans"
Guided the Judge. Then looking over at the
convict in quizzical sort of way, he added:
DO You happen to have that in your jeans?"

Rooster with Queer Habits.

An Indiana doctor has a rooster that
has acquired the strange habit of riding
over the country with him while hr is
making his calls. The rooster has also
formed very agreeable acquaintance
with the horse, and usually, when they
start out, it perches itself on top of the
animal and holds on to the harness. evil

the rig stops the rooster always flies
from its perch and crows joyously. The
same doctor has another rooster that
has formed q friendship with a big
Maltese cat. The two are nearly al
ways together. the cat purring a I'd rub
hing up against the big rooster. and
they take frequent strolls together
When night comes the rooster goes in

cat joins him. and they sleep side by

The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen-For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system, and
no one knows the torture and misery I
have passed through. Ny doctor has

habits. he is usually at his Office about
lunch time.
You may be somewhat surprised to
learn that he is strictly a vegetarian,
combining his diet solely to cereals or
fruit, with occasionally few Jumps
of sugar. He should have been a
Scotchman, judging by his fondness for
oats, but he was born. 1 am told, in our
own country.
Possibly his love for oats may ac-
count for his beautiful complexion,

confess that we scraped acquaintance.
1t came about in this manner. I was
standing with my little daughter upon
the corner of Broadway and Twenty
second street, waiting for an uptown
car, when I became aware that we were
being very closely regarded by pair
of unusually large and extremely
beautiful brown eyes-eyes which were
very eloquent, and seemed to say much
more plainly than words could have
done: 81 am very favorably impressed
with that little girl, and L should like
to know her. VIII she speak to me, do
you think?"
1 called the little girls attention to
the big eyes looking at her so steadfast-
iy. and, do you know, l believe she
understood their language even better
than L did, and yet l flatter myself
that [ am pretty good interpreter of
such glances. At any rate, she walked
straight up to their owner and said:
why do you look at me hathaway?
[ just guess you know I keep Jumps
of sugar in my pocket, to give to great,
big lovely horses like youi"
Slowly a great white head with the
most intelligent eyes 1 have ever seen
was lowered to a level with the little
maids face, and two or three queer
siding steps taken to bring it closer
to the outstretched arms. The owner
seemed to realize that those little arms
never gave any save the tenderest ca
resses, and he was very glad to feel
one circle around his huge, soft neck
while the other carried a small hand to
stroke a very silky muzzle, for Big
Jack is a horse among horses. And
big, indeed, he is-a giant of his kind.
