IN HIS PoCKETBooK.

One often hears of the marvellous
assortment of articles to be found
in the average woman's pocketbook,
but out in Germantown the other
evening several congenial spirits
discussed the time honored theme
IN a different light. The question
arose, "What does the average man
carry in his pocketbook or card
case" A prize was to be awarded
to the man having the most unique
assortment, and all hands dis
gorged., The group comprised an
artist, a chemist, an inventor, a
produce man, travelling salesman
and an astronomer scientist.
The prize went to the last named,
and his cardcase contained the fol-
lowing articles: Two pawn tickets,
four policy slips, half a paper Of
pins, railroad ticket four years old,
an accident policy, Identification
card, four stamps, some cuttings of
poetry, an article on GLOW to pro-
pose" a laundry check, a measure

five small time tables, a dozen visit
ing cards, a list of conundrums, a

er carried it in his hip pocket with

4 QUEER CASE.
"a Of the most remarka

One of the most remarkable
breach Of promise cases that have
ever been brought before the courts
is about to be tried in Athens. The
nlaintiff. young woman from the
Village of Marcopoule, some 35 miles
from Athens, bases her claims upon
an ancient custom of the village,
which, it is held, will influence the
iurv in her favor.
The custom, which has the force
of law in the village, is as follows:
On certain fete days the villagers as
semble on the green, when dancing
is INDUCED in. Any girl wishing to
marry drops her handkerchief, and
the swain who picks it up is bound
to marry her
In the case in question the young
man who piked up the handker-
chief bv ACCIDENT had never seen the
girl before. When acclaimed by
the assembled villagers as the pro-
spective husband of the girl, he de-
INJURED; hense the action at law.
The young frl is decidedly good
looking, andtis lack of taste in not
taking her fosa bride is much COM
mented on ID tAe village.

An Oscuiatory Failure.

The Ladies' Aid society of the
First Presbyterian church of Toledo
gave carnival the other evening,
and among other attractions was a
kissing booth, where kisses could be
obtained for 5 cents. Young and
old men paid nickel to enter, but
when they got inside each received
a molasses candy kiss. A general
kick was made and in a few minutes
another sign went up. 1t read,
"The real thing-one dollar"
No one was willing to put up this
price for the osculatory exercise,
however, and the treasury was not
augmented.
Now the conservative element of
the church is angry.
Conventional members say it was
madness to display the "real thing"
sign, and the pretty girls who could
not realize 81 for a kiss have a poor
idea of the young men of the town.

Never Give Up,

If you cannot do all you would
like to, do the best you can. If
your parents cannot afford to give
you a thorough education and you
are not able to work your way for
yourself, don't give up and sit down
to a life of ignorance. There are
many ways in which you may do
much to educate yourself, and if you
will you may yet fit yourself for
high position in the world. Make
the best use of the means that come
in your reach, and whatever you
learn make it thoroughly yours.
Never be discouraged because you
cannot climb to the mountain top
all at once. Half way up the steep
side you would have a much better
view than if you remain where you
are-down in the valley. Climb as
high as you can, but be sure that
you climb AS you look around
you and see the needs of the poor
and destitute and your heart yearns
to relieve their wants, be sure that
you do something. A little may go
a great way with one who is hungry
and cold,

stole a March on the Flremen.

The fremen attached to engine
company No. so and truck IL, sta
toned at Park avenue and Cambria
street, were belated in responding to
an alarm of fire few days ago. On
the first clang of the ''joker" the SIX
horses sprang to their accustomed
places, and as the chains were not
across the exit doors one of the ami
mails made a break for the door.
The other five followed, and all
made a bee line in the supposed
direction of the fire at a mad gallop,
with the entire crews of the two
companies in mad pursuit. The
horses ran several blocks and were
captured by the enraged firemen in
an open lot quietly enjoying the
fresh grass. Fortunately the fire
was of minor consequence and was
extinguished without the aid of the

Possum and Sweet Taters.

Two colored citizens sat in a skiff

were fishing and resting. Suddenly
Sam, who had been lazily pondering,
said to Bill:
"Say, Bill, wha' d. you think is

"Well," said Bill, after giving the
matter that due consideration that
its gravity demanded. '1 kinder

Sam did not hesitate a moment.
His answer came out promptly and
most decidedly.
'My 'pinion de bes' thing in de

Biff! Bill hit him a sounding
whack on the side of the head, and
Sam fell into the creek. He came
up foundering and putting like a
narwhal.

dress is ornamented with priceless

that every pin used to fasten her

such is the quaintness OF children
that it is quite likely that the little

was an ordinary rag one that she
could whack about as much as she

Is II Unlucky7

Is there any truth in the belief
that i'll luck attaches itself to the
designation II? Superstitious peo-
pie point to Shamrock Ii as another
confirmation of the belief.
Among many racing men very
strong prejudice exists against a
horse with II forming part of its
name.
Then look at our kings who have
been II: William II met with an
untimely death, Henry II had a
troubled reign and rebellious sons
and died of a broken heart, Edward
II was cruelty murdered, Richard Ii
came to a mysterious end, Charles
II was for long time an exile and
led wandering life, James II was
even worse off and died an exile
from his country, while George II,

happy living in later times, was
forced to fight in order to retain his
