Time after time the dog buried his

Some Childish Humor.

Here are some specimens OF childish
humor from the Chicago News:
"Oh, mamma" exclaimed 4-year-old
Flossie as she observed the moon in it's
second quarter, come and look at the
moon. Half of it is pushed into the
sky, and the other half is sticking out"
Tommy, aged ., had been busy whit
Ting and managed to raise a blister on
his hand which caused a slight break
in the skin. Running to his mother, he
showed it to her and said, Mamma,
guess I'm beginning to wear out"
"Did they sing any pretty songs at
Sunday schooi?' asked mother of her
little 4-year-old daughter upon her re-
turn home. "Only one," replied the lit
tie miss. 1T was something about
Greenland's ice cream mountains"

Obeyed Orders,

One Of the officials Of the road had
invited a party of gentlemen to take q
little pleasure excursion over part of
the line on his private car. Before the
appointed day he was taken sick and
called in his chef and commissary.
"Eph," he said, II have asked these
friends and can neither go with them
nor disappoint them. I want you to
give them the best there is in the larder
and see that it is served as well as it
would be at the best hotel in the
world"
Eph scratched his head and looked
troubled, but simply said, eyes, sah."
On the return several Of the gentle
men congratulated the official upon
having such man." and one or two
intimated that if Eph ever wanted an
other position he would have no trou-
BILE in securing it.
Finally Eph reported. "It wa great
outin, sah," he assured his employer.
"Yas, sab; dat's right, sab; a stupen-
difcious outin, sab. De gem'men all
done me proud, and tells 'em it wa
you, sah.'
Then Eph showed the bill, and it was
a stunner for length and amount. He
stood hat in hand until the official said:
"Pretty steep, Eph; pretty steep. Moth
ing left out and nothing but the best"
"Dat's right, sab. I was fusticated

Novel Use For His Fodder.

81 have heard Of some strange and
curious expedients that have been used
to clear the tracks in cases Of railroad
wrecks" said a well known railroad
official recently. "but the methods used
on a.;small railroad not far from Bal
timore a few years ago to clear the
tracks and incidentally save fine en-
gine from serious damage were the
most original ever heard Of. "
=, 1.-The wreck had been caused by ice
forming on the rail from an overflow
ing tank near the trestle. The train
had two engines. The first engine and
the cars had run out on the trestle
and dropped over. The rear engine
was left standing half sidewise on the
tresrle, which was 80 feet high. 1t
seemed as if the touch Of a mans
hand would cause it to topple over,
and it blocked the road,s which was
only single tracked, and the wrecking
car with its derrick could not be used.
If we only had something soft to drop
it on and then hoist it back said one
official, we could manage all right
'sThis remark gave farmer of the
neighborhood an idea. He offered to
sell his big stock Of corn fodder. The
plan was to pile the fodder from the
ground underneath the trestle to with
in a few feet Of the track and then
topple the engine over. The plan work
ed we'll, and owing to the elasticity Of
the fodder the engine was not damaged
in the least."-Baltimor Sun.

A Cool Housemaid.

A rather curious method Of burglar
catching was resorted to by an in
genious maidservant recently in New
York: AS The Electrical Review tells
the story, while in pursuit Of her
household duties the maid noticed a
mans foot inside the clothes closet.
She did not scream, neither did she
jump at the door nor shut it with
bang. Instead she took a broom and
began to sweep that corner Of the
room near the closet. Her approach
was gradual, and the sweeping was
done SO naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious bur-
glar. At last the broom brushed the door
gently, but hard enough to close it to
the fraction of an inch. With five or
six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut and almost latched,
which she at length succeeded in doing
by gently pressing her arm against it.
AS the telephone in her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her if she called
for assistance, she bethousht herself
Of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone linemen were at the
time making repairs on wire that
runs to another house in the block.
She went out and spoke to them. They
promptly tapped a wire, attached
testing instrument and called up one
Of the down town exchanges, which in
turn got the house owner, who in his
turn called up police headquarters.
From there the call was sent to the
police station nearest the house, and
two policemen were sent around and
got the man.
