HE'S WISE NOW.

thing for any girl again as long as

polka dot band on his hat. NO Stree.

Pretty soon | looked down, and
there was a stream OF something black

she was sorry? Did she say she was

Prcsident DwIght,a Pun.

President Dwight and President
Elect Hadley were returning home
from the annual alumni dinner when
they were caught in the rain. Presl
dent Elect Hadlcy had an umbrella
with him. and President Dwight did
not. Professor Hadley, Of course, wish.
ed the retiring president OF Yale to
protect himself from the rain by the
use of the umbrella. but President
Dwight declined to rob Professor Had
ley OF his umbrella in order that he
himself might ward off the rain. Pro
fessor Hadley. however, insisted that
President Dwight accept the courtesy,
and his arguments became so energetic
that finally President Dwight turned
and said:
"See here. Hadley this is my reign
still. Your reign doesn't commence
until tomorrow"
President Elect Iadley allowed the
president Of Yale to have his own
way on the last day of his admnlstra-
tion.-New Haven Register.

WHAT HE WAS AFTER.
The Osd Farmers Answer Made the
Young Fellows Weary.

The Old Farmers Answer Made the
Young Fellows Weary.
The help we get nowadays don't
amount to shucks. Time was when
the help you hired in haying time could
do a decent days work, but this year
they're wurs'n ever"
Old Farmer Smith was getting In
hay ut his farm In suburban town.
and had two or three new men at work
with him. The old man continued:
"Tell you what ii is. old as | am
can pack more hay on to wagon
than any two men of the present day
can fork up.
Suppose you try ii. old man. sug-
gested one of the men. at the same
time tipping the wink TO his mate on
the opposite side to sock it, to the
old man.
The old fellow needed no second in-
vitation. With a bound lie mounted
the cart. and was slowing away hay at
a tremendous rate. Up came forkful
after forkful. first on one side and then
upon the other.
The help" was putting in its best
ticks and the old man was kept
squirmlng around in lively style. much
to the amusement of all hands.
The help" was rapidly getting tired;
it would never do to give up and allow
the old man TO come off victorious.
Something must be done at once.
when put up a heavy forkful on
this side, give him all you can lift from
the other end and knock him out" said
one of the men to the other In an I'M
dertone.
The plan worked well. One Of the
men lifted an extraordinary big fork
full. just putting it upon the edge of the
load and while the old man was lean
ing over endeavoring TO get II in place
the fellow on the'other side threw all
he could lift upon the back Of the old
fellow, which, of course. upset him
and sent him sprawling TO the ground.
Hello. what are you down here
for?' asked help No. 1, endeavoring as
we'll as he could to conceal his merri-
ment.
Quick as a fash from the old man
came the answer:
after more hay"
This answer tired the help complete.

GRANULATEO SUGAR.
Why II Has Crowded ont the Old
Fashioned Brown Kind.

"Vhen | was running a boarding
house for gangs nj work on new rail
roads in the west Il few years ago,
said the tall man. brown sugar cost
: cents a pound wien ! bought it by
the hogshead. and graduated sugar
cost u cents a pound when purchased
in equally large amounts. Now, If
YOU had 200 men to board. all Of whom
used sugar in their coffee, what kind
of sugar would you buy
81 suppose I'll make a mistake, but
as far rs know now. | would buy
brown sugar. for that would be the
cheapest" was the reply.
And that's where you've NAL a
mistake" said the tall man. iii
prove il to you in a minute. When
you go home tonight, you take tea
spoon and experiment with both kinds
of sugar. You'll see that with granu-
lated sugar you can pick up only as
much as the bowl of the spoon will
hold. But it's different with brown
sugar. If you dig your spoon deep
into it, when you lift the spoon you
bring nearly three spoonfuls of sugar
along with It, as il packs closely. That
IS what housewives call 'heaping
teaspoOnfal' Now. the average rail.
roader is used to putting three to four
spoonfuls of sugar in his coffee, and he
never looks to see whether they are
heaping ones or not Therefore the
brown sugar is the more expensive. !
tired both ways, and found that using
granulated sugar saved me over $40
mouth over what it cost to serve
brown sugar. There's even more diff
ference now and then too. The big
sugar concerns have oeaten down the
price of graduated sugar until it costs
but penny a pound more than brown
sugar That's why you see graduated
sugar in all the cheap boarding houses
