HIS SENSE OF HUMOR.

The board of school supervisors for the Walnut Ridge district was exam ming an applicant who desired the po- sitiCn of instructor. The young man had satisfied them of his Knowledge of geography, arithmetic and grammar. At this point the chairman of the board drew magazine from his pocket peered intently into it and remarked.
 Well, young feller, now we'll see whether you're up in the English lan- Suage. Whats the meanin O incom- prehensubble? 9"
 "Incomprehensubble? faltered the applicant Why, incomprehensubble means the proximity of the corollary to the molecular ingenui"
 'Uh, huh An what does disinte- grate mean?"
 -'Disintegrate means the general con sanguinity of the hyperbole when af- dliated with the zodiac"
 Jest so," commented the chairman, nodding sagely at the other members. Now, what is the definin' of sublimi- nal?''
 "Subliminal is when the overplus goes into perhelion with the deductive- ness of the instability and produces transfixity of the frangible proto- plasms."
 "You'n do," announced the chairman.
 The candidate. overjoyed, shock hands all round and left to gather his belongings and to arrange to move into the neighborhood.
 "Purty smart feller, that?'' observed one member of the board

 And down the road about half a mile the candidate was chuckling to him. self

MEN WHO RUN AWAY.

A movement has been started in New York for the purpose of making the desertion of ones family a felony in that state and to insure the enactment of legislation in other states which will make it an extraditable offense. The commissioner of charities in New York city is back of the movement. He says that this is one of the most serious offenses of the present day. and the punishment is now altogether made quate. Fifty per cent Of the applica- tions for the admission of children to public institutions, he declares, are due to the fact that the little ones have been deserted by their fathers and left to starve or be burden upon the pub lie. Many men, he says, think no more of deserting their families than they do of sitting down to dinner
 The experience of the charity off cial in New York, as indicated by Com missioner Foulk, finds duplication in almost all large cities. The agents of the humane society and other charita- ble organizat tions in Cleveland have long tried to provide against the evil effects of this offense against society. and all of them are ready to testify to it's viciousness. Hundreds of wives are left here at the beginning of every winter to struggle against poverty, be- cause lazy and worthless husbands re- fuse to care for them and their fami- lies. If the punishment of fathers who neglect their duty in this way could be made more certain and severe, as sug- gested. the growth of the evil might be checked.

 The woman held up the jacket and looked at it with critical eye. Do you think it will fit?" she asked.

 Do you think the lining is durable?"
 "Yes, ma'am.'
 "I want something that will stand wear, remember.
 Tt will wear like iron" said the salesman.
 T think you are asking too much for that suit Its a bargain at that price" "I want something that will look neat and stylish" said the woman, regard ing the garment doubtfully. The style is good" said the sales man.
 She looked at it closer, examining the | texture minutely.

ENGLISH GIRLS DETER1oATING

An English writer says that the girls of the aristocracy in London are deter iorating in beauty, but, on the other hand, the average of beauty among girls of the middle class has increased hugely, nd usual state of things is for girl to be much smarter and bet ter looking than her mother.
 The altered conditions of living ac- count for this; rot only does the mid dle class girl take more interest in out door games, hygienic living and her personal appearance than her placid and matronly mother. but she also reads more, studies more, and is all round a more cultivated, fascinating personality

Much curiosity was manifested when six tall negro women, clad in curious garb, and some carrying "piccaninies," stalked through the meeting onto the platform, Where they seated themselves and their families.

These six had been taken in hand by the Sal vation army, through whose instrument tatlity police court proceedings Gan ac- count of which appeared in the Daily Chronicle) had been instigated, which had resulted in their obtaining arrears of wages and their passage money to Sierra Leone It was stated by Mrs. Booth that although they had been ad- vertised as the "only women warriors who had ever defeated European troops in battle" they knew nothing whatever about fighting, and, prior to their departure for West Africa on their European tour, had followed the peaceful calling of selling bananas.

MADE INVESTMENT
City Dads Bought Land Corner
Pleasant ana Congress Streets
BE Used For New city
Hall.

On Saturday last deal was consum
ated between the City of Belding and
Mrs. +. Il. Weter, in which the city
becomes the owner of the two lots on
Pleasant street, south of Sche tfier's
laundry. the purchase price being
81, 800
The property is by far the most de-
sirable of any available lots in the
city and was purchased at a very rea-
sonable figure, all things being taken
into consideration. Mayor Bricker
says that good offer has already
been made for the residence now
standing on the lots which will greatly
reduce the purchase price of the lots
When we stop to consider that the
city is now paying rent for rooms for
the council to convene in for build
ing TO house the fire department uten-
sils, for building to be used as Jail
and for stable rooom for the city
team, the crying need of a city build
ing is at once evident and apparent.
Our reporter called on Mayor
Bricker Monday and he said that the
matter of proceeding at once to con-
struct the new building had not been
definitely settled, but that he hoped
the matter could be satisfactorily ar
ranged in few days, he said further,
that while the necessary money was
not available at this time, there were
several ways in which the end might
be accomplished and he expressed the
wish that the matter could be attend
ed to as soon as possible.
There has been some correspond
ence between the city and Mr.. A. N.
Bedding relative to the purchase Of
the property now occupied by o. F
Webster & Son as livery stable, but
when Mr.. Belding learned the price
asked for the lots purchased, advised
the city to close the deal at the earli-
est opportunity.
1t is proposed to build a fine city
hall on the lots a-@
roor, nm s+,irs1 aid possibly room for
the family of the driver of the fire
truck, in order to expedite matters
when fire alarms are turned in. The
lower story to be used for the fire de-
partment and an up'to-date lookup.
There is abundant room for large
building and walks and lawn in con-
nection that will make the Belding
city hall an honor TO the people and a
credit to all concerned. The BANNER
hopes the work may be hastily carried
forward aud the building completed
at an early date.
