It Reminded Him.

One sharp November day, says the
Philadelphia Record, boy entered a
car. leaving the door open, much to the
discomfort of an old gentleman who
sat next. AS the wind chilled his mar
row his temper rose. Leaning across
his seat and taking the kid by his ear,
he said: Were you brought up in a
barn? Why don't you shut the door?"
The boy said nothing. but closed the
door, coming back to his seat in tears.
This sight moved the old man to relent-
ing pity. There. there" he said, "lit-
tie man; didn't really mean you We're
brought up in barn."
THAT'S just it." retorted the kid. 81
was brought up in barn, and every
time see a jackass it makes me think
of it,"

An Interesting Coin.

An interesting coin has just been sold
In Germany. 1t is one of the few coins
in the history of the world which can
be accused Of having humorous side
to it. In 1879 the Danes descended on
the port of Hamburg, but their attack
successful. The inhabitants Of the
town struck medal to commemorate
the occasion. The legend on the coin
was as follows: "rhe king OF Denmark
has been to Hamburg. If thou wouldst
know what he achieved. look on the
other side" 1t is needless to add that
"the other side" Is blank.

Curing the Morphine HABIT.

A rather curious instance of how REM
edies are stumbled upon sometimes is
reported from England. 1t seems that
a woman who had been victim of the
morphine habit for long time took
some eighteen drachms of sodium bro.
mide by mistake within forty-eight
hours. OF course, this was followed by
profound stupor, but five days later
the bromide was resumed, and contin-
ued for three days at the rate of two
drachms per day. She did not recover
from the profound bromism for ten
days, hut at the end of that time found
her appetite for morphine entirely gone.
The doctor who attended her case re-
marked the effect it had upon her and
deliberately stupetied his next case of
morphiomania With bromide. with very
happy results, the patient entirely los
ing his craving for the drug.

Dog Days Deferred.

An Albany man who was visiting

Mt his country place at Lake Bomoseen,
Vermont, and his wife and daughter ad-
mitted that he did. Unfortunately the
three could not agree in choice. so
finally, says the Evening Sun, the faith
er bought three dogs, the selection Of
each, from three different dealers.
At Albany he had the three dogs ship.
ped to Lake Bomoseen, then changed
his plans about going back there and
took his family home. A few days later
he received the following letter from
the stableman at Lake Bomoseen:
Dear Sir--Your three bulldogs ar.
rived all right, last night on the same
train. locked them up together last
night in a box stall. Yours truly,

"P. S.-We have only one box stall.
"P. s.-You will have to buy some
more dogs"

MILES WOULD QUIT
THREATENS TO RESIGN IF ARMY

Military Head of the Nation Tells
Senate Committee He Could Now
Name the Men Who Would BE Ad.

Lieut.. Gen. Miles, testifying before the
Senate committee on military affairs the
other day, declared that if the army rcor-
ganization bill submitted by Secretary of
War Root should become law he would
be forced to resign his position and re-
tire. Further than that, Gen. Miles stat
ed that he could name the men who
would be selected to fill the new places
should the bill become law.
The declarations of Gen. Miles are ex-
pected to widen the breach between him
and the War Department, and friends
Of the President declare he will resent
the statement that certain persons in the
army are already assured Of high posi-
tions should the bill become u law. The
testimony of Gen. Miles was given pri-
vately before the committee, and he sub
mitted typewriter outline of his at.
titude toward the bill. The testimony
created a sensation in the capital.
Secretary of War Root, when shown
Gen. Miles testimony, declined to say
whether any action would be taken by
the President or by the department. Sec.

remarked quietly that he was sorry
