An English author has given some
very amusing examples of how things
can be said in a queer way. One OF
the most unfortunate recorded at
tempts to escape from a
tional difficulty was made by a Lon
don curate. who cultivated the friend
snip of mechanics.
One day a carpenter came to him
and said
Il have brought my boys likeness,
as you said you'd like to have it"
How good of you TO remember
said the curate. What a capital like
ness! How is hc?"
Why, sir. don't you remember"
said the carpenter. Hes dead.
"Oh, yes, OF course | know that"
replied the curate. Il mean, how's
the man hat DOL the photograph"
a story is told of a young laborer
who, on his way to his days work,
called at the registrars Office to regis
ter his fathers death. When the Of
fetal asked the date of the event, the
son replied:
He amt dead yet. but he'll be dead
before night, so | thought it would
save me another journey if you would
put it Gown now"
"Oh, hnt that won't do at ALL" said
the registrar. perhaps your father
will live till tomorrow"

Treasury Official Makes a Suggestion
of Value,

'If the bankers of the country only
knew the great difference a little soap

there would be more clean money in
circulation" said a treasury official.
"If you have never seen the opera.
ton, just spread a soiled note out upon
a marble slab and use a small brush
that has been well soaped and go to
work %scrubbing, lightly. of course. But
a few strokes are necessary to secure
a clean note. | give my personal at.
tention to all the paper money
brought into my household, and | tell
you | feel repaid for the little work it
causes.
Il can see every reason why there
should be a person employed in the
banking houses for this particular
duty. Certainly the neglect in doing
so gives ample cause for complaint
from the patrons concerning the dirty,
oily notes that are too frequently
handed to them. They may be full of
germs, which. of course. are danger.
ous, and this risk could be easily
eliminated by the simple use of soap
and water."-St. Louis Republic.

THE COCAINE BILL.

IN there is n bill above all others
that should receive the earnest con-

Oviatt's cocaine bill. II should become
a law and receive rigid enforcement
before the state becomes popuIous and
the traffic large. No drug of this ma.
ture should be dealt out to the public
without medical direction and this
should be of the most stringent ma
ture. 1t is all very well to say that a
man or woman who has no more sense
than to acquire the opium or cocaine
habit should be allowed to suffer the
consequences, but it is well known
that thousands of mon and women

Representative S. A. Bristol, by re-
quest, has introduced a bill providing
th6c persons losing money gambling
may o the same. provided an
action is brought within three months
after the loss occurs. From a high
moral standpoint perhaps this would
be a good law, but the majority of peo-
pie will always believe it is simply
pleading the baby act for a man to
gamble and then demand his money
back. II he should win, of course 1t
would be an entirely different matter.
Laws against gambling should be rig
idly enforced. but we doubt the ad-
