The Right Answer, Anyway.

Woman is said to know more by in- tuition than man by reason. Certain ly she has so many ways of knowing things that she does not need to fol- low the straight route of logic. At a dinner-party, of which the New York Times tells, the conversation sailed into the eddies of conundrums. The ages of Ann and Mary were dis cussed backward and forward, and the frog that slipped back one foot for every two feet he progressed at length got out of the hole Finally some one asked:
 If a bottle and cork together cost a dollar and ten cents, and the bottle costs a dollar more than the cork, how much does the cork cost?"
 Instantly one of the ladies was ready with the answer. "Why, the cork costs five cents and the bottle a dollar and five cents."
 The lady's husband, knowing her in- exactness in mathematical processes, was astonished.
 'Wellw he exclaimed. "How did you come to get that so soon!"
 "Why, my dear," she replied. sweet. ly, "corks always cost five cents, don't theyW

Fruit in California

Old Mrs. Donnelly was convalesc. Ing from severe attack of illhess, and warm-hearted Mrs. Williams had presented the invalid with an attrac. tive basket of fruit.
 The old woman, who was unaccus. toned to many of the luXurles of life, was frankly puzzled by two large, round, lemon-colored objects in the center of the basket.
 What might thin be-" she asked, touching one of them cautiously.
 Grapefruit" returned Mrs. Will. Hams. "They were sent to me from California where Mir. Williams has an orange grove"
 Sure, I've heard that they grow fine fruit in Californy," said Mrs. Don nelly, approvlngly. "Looliin' at thim there, ma'am, I can well believe 1t; but sure, darlint if the grapes are the size of that, where in the wurld do they find room to grow any pump. kins?"

Just What They Ordered.

To do even the most humble work worthily and well something more than blind, mechanical service must be given. A young mistress once asked her cook about a certain recipe. "Just how much four do you put in, Mary?" "Law, mum, you don't follow any rule; you just use your jedgment!' "But suppose you don't have any 'jedge- ment,'" returned the puzzled mis- tress. "Then don't cook" was the re. ply, succinct and to the point. The New York Tribune tells of waiter who, having neither judgment nor a sense of humor, was little better than an automaton.
 Two men in Park Row restaurant seated at the same table, gave their orders to the same waiter. Bring me a couple of soft-boiled eggs and cup of coffee" said the first man.
 Same thing for me, waiter" said the second, and then added Be sure the eggs are fresh."
 "All rightv' was the reply. A mo- ment later his voice was heard from the back of the restaurant:
 "Soft-boiled for two-and have two of lem freshv'

RUSES OF AUTOGRAPH TENDS.
One Tells of Trick Which Scarcely
 Ever Failed to Bring Letter.


 "In autograph hunting the end al- ways justifes the means, no matter how mean it may be-" said an enthusi- ast who owns a fine collection. But nowadays 1t requires nothing less than genius to draw q letter from real celebrity. All the old tricks are played out A favorite scheme of former days for catching authors was to write ask ing questions about one of their books, the letter being so framed as to show unusual familiarity with the work. Such an interrogation was delicately flattering and rarely failed to elicit an interesting and valuable reply, but at present all the lions are on their guard, and the response that comes back is apt to be a .ypewritten affair from secretary, beginning: MT. So-and-So directs me to say" etc.
 T flatter myself that my own meth cd was rather ingenious. used to have little slips printed to look like newspaper clippings and reading, for instance, like this:
 MT. Blank, the weil-Known col lector, yesterday purchased copy of Sky Blue Thoughts" for $50, the high valuation being due to remark able sonnet on scrambled eggs written by the author upon the fiyleaf.'
 "Then would send the slip to my celebrity with note saying, I am MT. Blank, and will you kindly inform me whether the autograph poem referred to is authentic? As rule the ruse worked like charm. One or two were brutal enough to send back the single word No without signature.
 "Of course the sonnet mentioned in my supposed clipping wasn't always on the same subject. I am the only col lector on earth who possesses an auto- graph letter from Lord Tennyson deny ing warmly that he ever wrote an ode to pickled pigs feet.-New York Press.

Best in the World.

Cream, Ark, Nov. (Speclal)-Af- ter eighteen months suffering from Epilepsy, Backache and Kidney Con- plaint, Mr.W II. Smith, of this place, is we'll man again and those who have watched his return to health un- hesitatingly give all the credit to Dodd's Kidney Pills. In an interview regarding his cure, MT. Smith says:
 "I had been low for eighteen months with my back and kidneys and also Epilepsy. l had taken everything l knew of and nothing seemed to do me any good till friend of mine got me to send for Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 find that they are the greatest medi- cine in the world, for now l am able to work and am in fact as stout and strong as before 1 took sick
 Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kid. neys. Cured Kidneys cleanse the blood of all impurities. Pure blood means good health.

Long delays We're experienced by
passengers leaving this city both
"Wednesday evening and this morning,
on account of 50 many Of the passen-

responsible so that but n very few of
the trains on amy of the roads were on
schedule time either last night or this
forenoon. No. 3. on the Iowa Central.
Wednesday evening. was three hours
late in arriving. The burning OF the
Manhattan distillery. in Peoria, yes

half an hour. Firenen had laid hose
across the tracks. which held the train
until they could be placed under the
