Oldest girl is very low and needs

cannot soothe mothers bleeding

alone must be the balm that will
touch them back to the every day.

why the Joke Fell Flat.


A big, good natured farmer was
awaiting the suburban train, accom-
panied by handsome Gordon setter.
Two sons Of Britain stood near him.
The dog strayed away from his owner,
who was reading newspaper.
Hey" called the farmer. Come
here, Locksmith," and the dog imme-
diately ran to his feet.
One of the EngIshmen approached
the farmer.
MAY l ask" he said, what you
called that dog?"
"Locksmith," said the farmer.
And why, pray?"
Because every time I kick him he
makes bolt for the door"
There was general laugh, in which
the Englishman Joined.
When he returned to his companion,
he remarked:
Most extraordinary name that man
over there calls his dog"
"What?" asked his friend.
"Locksmith." replied the first Briton.
"And why such name?"
Because, he says, every time he
kicks i'm he bolts for the door."-St

DYNAMITE AND MINERS.
Long Immunity From Accident Re-
suits Ia Contcmpt of Danger

Long Immunity From Accident Re.
suits Ia Contempt of Danger.
"After a miner had handled dynamite
for eight or ten years without serious
mishap it is q good idea to put him to
doing something else about the works."
said a gentleman of this city who has
had great deal of experience with high
explosives. 1.-THE chances are hundred
to one that his long immunity from ac-
cident has given him such contempt
for danger that he is an unconscious
menace to everybody ON the premises.
He will do things that not only imperll
his own life, but the lives of all his
comrades. To give you an illustra-
ton, once had an old Cornishman at
work at mine in which was inter-
ested and had intrusted him with a
general supervision of all the blasting.
He had been handling dynamite for
twenty years or more and was justly
regarded as an expert. During that
entire period he had never had an acct
dent worth speaking of, and by de-
grees the care and vigilance that were
responsible for his excellent record had
worn away until he was beginning to
entertain the delusion, common to old
hands, that the danger of the stuff was
very much exaggerated
"One day / was passing through
cut where some blasting had been go
ing on and noticed the old Cornishman
hammering drill into what seemed to
be boring in the rock. asked him
what he was doing, and lie told me
coolly there was cartridge in the hole
that had failed to explode and he was
Just knockin' out the tampin' to re-
prime it was Mortified, for at every
blow he was liable to explode the dyna-
mite, and l ordered him sternIy to stop
and never repeat such performance.
The proper method would have been to
have drilled new hole near by and
exploded the first charge with a second
blast. He obeyed suuenly, grumbling
to himself. and less than month after
ward was blown up while doing exacr-
ly the same thing. He lost his left arm
at the shoulder, his left eye and part of
his left ear He also lost his contempt
for dynamite, and when he finally
emerged from the hospital gave him
back his former job. 1 never had a
more scrupulously careful employee
than he was from that time on. It
seems brutal thing to say, but there
is nothing that does an old dynamite
hand as much good as to get blown UP
once or twice."-New Orleans Times

His One Daily Meal.

DIR. George Fordyce, the celebrated
anatomist and lecturer on chemistry,
used to eat one meal day and one
meal only, but it was mighty one,
washed down with liberal drafts of
wine and beer. At o'clock every day
he used to enter certain chophouse
and take his seat at table always re-
served for him. A silver tankard con-
tanning quart Of strong ale, a full
bottle Of port and quarter of pint Of
brandy were placed before him imme-
diately.
The moment the waiter announced
the doctors arrival the cook put 8
pound and half of rump steak on the
fire, and to while away the time until
the steak should be properly broiled
the waiter brought the doctor some
tempting morsel like broiled chicken
or plate of fish. When he had eaten
this, DR.. Fordyce drank half of his
brandy and then began oil his steak
While eating the steak he drank the
tankard Of ale and after that the rest
of the brandy. The waiter then I'M
corked the bottle of port, and the doc
tor proceeded slowly to enjoy 1t until it
was all gone. He spent an hour and a
half daily at his one meal and after it
returned home to give his lectures on
chemistry, which are still quoted as
classics of that science. He ate nothing
else until the next day. when he re-
turned at the same hour to the same
chophouse for the same sort of a meal.
DR.. Fordyce lived to be sixty-six years
old and kept up his one meal custom to
the last
