ParaphrasinR a Joke.

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 a newspaper.
"Heyw called the farmer. "Come
here. Locksmith," and the dog imme-
diately ran to his feet.
One OF the Englishmen approached
the farmer.
May 1 ASK" he said. "what you
called that dOs;"
".Ocksmith," said the farmer.
And why. pray:"
Because every time I kick him he
makes q 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, BAL

Californian Ii Now Rich Because No
Ono Wanted His Forty Acres.
Oil strikes in California are making
poor men millionaires. as in the osa
days in Pennsylvania. One-of the
strangest of these freaks Of fortune
came to John A. Bunting. a former
/ freight brakeman on the Southern Pa
cific, who has ordered a $4,000 private
car of the Pullman company. Bunting
began life ten years ago as the keeper
of Il railroad water tank on the desert
near Tucson, Ariz. Then he was ad-
| vanced. and finally reached the position
of frAght brakeman.
He loaned friend $1IO and took as
! collateral a watch and u mortgage on
| forty acres of land in Kern County.
The friend did not pay, so Bunting sold
| the watch and foreclosed on the Kern
County land. He tried to sell the land,
but could get nothing for it. Recently
oil was struck near his place. He re-
signed and began TO develop his proper
ty. He struck oil, and is now rated as a
millionaire.
Bunting came into General Manager
Fillmore's office the other day and sent
in his card. Fillmore returned reply
that be was sorry, but lie had no job,
as Bunting had voluntarily resigned his
place. Bunting sent back an answer
that he was not looking for job. but
wanted to buy private car. Fillmore
congratulated him and advised him to
buy a car with all the latest improve
ments, which would cost him $4,000.
and meanwhile rent a car from the
Southern Pacific. This he did. Bunt-

and have that car as luxurious as it is

Adrift from the Old Moorinp.


For 12o years or more the American
people developed their institutions, in
creased their territories by natural ac-
cretions of contiguous lands and grew
rich and powerful and prosperous
without the acquisition of single foot
OF outlying soil. During all this pc
riod there was a steady growth Of the
idea of popular government and a
steady development Of a strong and re-
sourceful national character. During
the past four years there has been a
departure from this policy that is lit
tie short Of startling. To-day we are
not only what is called a world pow
er, with territorial possessions In near
ly every sea. but We are undoubtedly
reaching in many directions after

foreseen Hence these tears in the
eyes of his wardrobe department.
There is no man in Europe who holds
more honorary and actual military and
naval commissions than the Kaiser.
He cannot travel many miles in his
own land or in any other European
country without running up against
some order to which he belongs.
He never knows, when travelling,
what regalia o. uniform he may need:
and he takes o pride in being always
prepared for a sartorial emergency.
Even if only passing through garri-
son town in whose regiment he holds
rank he likes to don the uniform of the
regiment before showing himself upon
the platform and acknowledging greet
ings.
