Are you married yet, old chap?"
 Yet? Of course, I am. Did you think had been getting a divorce?'- Chicago Tribune.
 q suppose" said the visitor to police headquarters, that every officer knows a rogue when he sees him.
 Sure" replied the desk sergeant; but every officer doesn't seize rogue when he knows him."-Chicago Daily News.
 Some Comfort.-The Friend-Yes, sir. have run over nearly ten people with that automobile.
 Friend-Did any of them escape with their lives?
 "Oh, yes. But they'll never be the same again. Life.
 Cousin Clara-Uncle Jim is abso- lutely prodigal in his generosity, but at first we thought he was dreadfully mean; you know he refused to give a single cent for the children's firecrack- CTS?
 Miss Callery-But how was he gener ous?
 Cousin Clara-He paid for all the sticking-plaster and bandages.-Har- pers Bazar.
 The Retort Courteous.-Smart Pas senger-Here, conductor, is my fare. I had no desire to beat the company, but I thought I would see if I could fool you by getting busy with this news paper.
 Conductor-I saw you, but you looked as if you needed information a good deal worse than the company needs money, so I just let you read.-Balti- more American.
 Frances" said the little girls man. ma, who was entertaining callers, you came downstairs so noisily that you could be heard all over the house. Now, go back and come down the stairs properly" r Frances retired, and in few minutes re-entered the parlor Did you hear me come downstairs this time, man. ma?"
 No, dear. This time you came down like a lady"
 "Yes'm; this time I slid down the banisters," explained Frances.-Chris- tian Register.
 The story is told of a Scotch preacher who gave his people. long, strong ser mons, and delivered them in remarka- bly deliberate manner. One Sunday he asked friend who was visiting him to occupy his pulpit in the morning.
 An were you satisfied wi my preaching?" asked his friend, as they walked home from the kirk
 "Weel," said his host, slowly, "it was a fair discoorse, Will'm, fair dis coorse; but it pained me at the last to see the folk looking sac fresh and wide awake. I mistrust 'twasna sac long nor sac sound as it should hae been.'-- Youths Companion.

HOW THE BIRDS FISH.
Some Are Expert Anglers With Only
 Natures Tackle.

Some Are Expert Anglers With Only
 Natures Tackle.
 It is easy for a man abroad with rod and line on some still tree-fringed lake to understand how the loon, the he'll diver, the kingfisher and such birds make a living. They are all expert an- glers with their own peculiar outfits and understand how to use them to perfection.
 The hell-diver does not pretend to tackle anything but very small fishes, minnows mostly, and it eats good many things that it finds in the mud.
 The loon is powerful and fast swim mer and one of the greatest of all great divers.
