Senator cockreIPs Sage Advice to

and the large family.
In conversation not long ago with
successful young business man of
Kansas City, in whom the senator has
been interested since the formers
boyhood, Mr.. Cockrell b1untly inquired
of the young man why he did not mar
ry. You're doing quite well,' said
Mr.. Cockrell, ''but you would do better
if you got a wife. Take my word for
it, she would help you nightly"
An incredulous smile came to the
face of the young fellow. Perhaps
you are right, SENATOR" he responded,
"but / am not sure that I could find
one. You see, my life has been such
a busy one I've had little opportunity
to cultivate the qualities that attract
a woman. I'm that difident where

Here's a New One.

The resourceful beggar is always
out with a new dodge to wean few
pennies from the public. One mendi-
cant, whose beat lies along the south
side of Madison street, has the very
newest dodge of all. He never walks
up to man standing still. He is not
a lazy beggar and isn't afraid to trot at
the Chicago gait. When he sees a
man hurrying along the street he falls
alongside.
Morning" he says. How are
you to-day?"
The man accosted turns, expecting
to see a familiar face. Instead he
finds the beggar keeping step.
Going to give any Christmas pres
ents this year," asks the beggar.
Get out of here. Run along" the
man may answer.

are now's the time to give me mine.
I'm going to leave the city and you
won't see me again and now is the

got a coin or knows he can't get it.
