An Illinois congressman said that
during hot summer day he sought
rest in a hammock beneath the scant
shade of an old tree that stood at the
corner of a down state hotel.
Il had no sooner stretched myself In
the hammock" said he, than these
flies attacked me, seemingly by the
million. 1t was intolerable. and in no
pleasant frame of mind looked up the
proprietor.
"'What do you mean,' | demanded,
by stretching your hammock in that
fiy haunted field of torture you call a
lawn

now he answered. but you ought to
use the hammock during the hammock
hours. and you'd have no trouble from

"From 10 noon to . p. m. daily he
replied. During those hours flies will

His Time Was Not Up.

A man of mercenary spirit had
several sons one Of whom was on the
eve Of his twenty-first birthday. The
father had always been a strict discipli-
marian. keeping his boys well under pa
rental charge. allowing them few liber-
ties and making them work hard.
1t was with feelihg Of considerable
satisfaction that the young man rose
on the morning OF his birthday and be-
gan To collect his personal belongings
preparatory TO starting out in the
world.
The farmer, seeing his son packing
his trunk, which he rightly Judged to
be evidence Of the early loss Of good
farm hand, stopped at the door Of the
young mans room and asked what he
was going 10 DO
The boy very promptly reminded his
father of the day of the month and the
year and declared his intention Of strtk-
ing out in the world on his own ac-
count
Not much you won't" shouted the
old man, "at least not for awhile yet!
You wasn't born until after II o'clock.
so you can just take off them good
clothes and fix TO give me another half
days work down in the potato patch"

Eufe's Iroufes.

Fate at times works some strange
ironies.
Mr. McITugh. an Irish member Of par
lament. some years ago brought for
ward a bill for the amendment OF the
law relating to contempt Of court In Ire
land and was soon afterward sentenced
to three months Imprisonment for that
offense. Mr.. MclIugh's bill was sent to
him I'm proof form while he was under
going his sentence and revised In XII
mainham Jail.
Two convicts were executed at the
Ichigaya prison In Japan, and one Of
them as he ascended the guillotine re-
marked that he had built 1t himself
while serving sentence for larceny
two years before.

town in Staffordshire, England, Of n
man who took his dog TO the river to

PantOmime Performances.

Most pantomine characters were
originally borrowed from the Italians.
The first real English pantomime was
produced at theater in LincOln's Inn
Fields in 1920. 1t was called "Harle
ouin Executed" and its subtitle was
"a New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche. Harlequin. Coun'
try Farmer. His Wife and Others.
The performance was very successful
About the middle OF the eighteenth
century the character OF pantomimo
performances was completely altered
chiefly because Of the genius OF the
famous Grimaldl. who made the clown
the first figure In the pantomime. Grl
maIdI first appeared at Sadler's Wells
theater. where lc played the part OF a
monkey. lie was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nine years. ana n

Parade Was Good and Performance
Excellent.

Excellent.
Daily Union, Junction City, Kan: J
Campbell Brothers big show came in
early this morning from Mcpherson
where it showed yesterday to large,
satisfied audience. About 1890 the pa
ra6e took, place and it was witnessed by
an enormous crowd of people, much
larger, in fact, than was expected.
Washington street was lined with peo-
PIE on both sides. People we're present
from all parts Of the county eager to see
the parade and attend the performances.
The parade was much better than the
people expected to see and as q result
the attendance at the show this after
noon was very large. Before the per-
formance commenced it seemed that
every seat was occupied which is saying
a good deal when it is known that
Campbell Bros. main tent is an enor-
nous affair. What's more, everybody
seemed to have got their moneys worth
and was we'll satisfied with the perform
ance.
One nice thing about this circus wae
the absence OF the usual troop Of fakirs
and gamblers. The people at the head
of this big show are gentlemen and they
havea show that everybody wants to
see. This evening larger attendance
is expected than even this afternoon.
