A Persistent Poet.

Although II. X. Munkittrick has an
enviable reputation as a humorist, yet
he is not the quickest man in, the
world to see joke when 1t is played
on himself. Mr.. Gibson, one of the
editors of Puck and also a practical
joker. arranged for a special jest to
be administered to Mr.. Munkittrick,,.
He had provided a trick telephone
which emitted a shower of flour when
anybody spoke into 1t.
When Mr.. Munkittrick had arrived,
it was suddenly discovered that the
paper had gone to press and that his
copy was too late. There was only
one chance. Mr.. Gibson said, and that
was to telephone to the printer and
tell him to stop the presses until his
matter should be set up and inserted.
He asked Mr.. Munkittrick to go to the
phone at once.
Then the staff sat and held their
sides, waiting for the explosion. Final
ly Mr.. Gibson rushed to the telephone
and found his friend deluged in -four,
but still persistently calling Hello"
through the phone.
He led him back and carefully ex-
planned the joke.
When he finished, Munkittrick calm
ly remarked:

for the evening service. But all during
the church hours there had been a pc
culiar sound outside as If child were
crying. In reality it was something
the matter with the organ. 1t could be
heard distinctly in the auditorium Of
the church. When the choir sang the
occasional and marched slowly out Of
the church into the dressing rooms,
one of the young ladies among the So

course, would not allow the offended to
enter his workings, and without sur

possible was resorted to to get into a
suspected mine.

The old German housewife had a
strange way of keeping track Of the
clothes she gave out to be washed. 1t
was nothing less than a pictorial and
perpetual wash list. There was no
possibility of making such an error as
to mistake the abbreviation Sh. for
shirts or st. for stockings. She had
pictures of each article and simply
wrote down the number Of each thing
opposite it's picture with a piece of
chalk, which was erased when the
thing was returned and used again on
