Majestic theatre, was talking about
old times in Chicago when he men
toned friend who had run Of hard
luck. There had been numerous street
robberies and as this friend was often
compelled to be out late at night he
bought an expensive revolver as
means Of self-protection. But he was
not an expert In the use Of the weap-
on, and when he was suddenly con-
fronted by a thug one night, as he
was going home. he forgot about the
pistol.
Hand over your money and watch,
and be quick about it." said the thug.
You're a cheap skate he COM
mented as he counted the money.
Then he turned and walked away.
Then the man remembered the re-
volver and he drew it and began
shooting at the robber, who turned
and came walking back.
What are you shooting that gun
for?' he demanded.
"It is my gun," said the other, some
what abashed; II guess I have a right
to shoot it."
Not by a whole lot" said the thug.

countered the climate Of the Golden

America to visit. He was true son
Of Erin, with an Irishman's apprecia-
ton Of all things beautiful.
He went to San Francisco for a
sightseeing trip. and while strolling
through the city with friend, ex-
claimed: What foine trees! So
green! What makes it?'
Climate" answered the friend,
briefly.
A little later he cried out: "Arrah,
the compilations Of your ladies. So
beautiful! What"
Climate" interrupted the friend.
The Irishman subsided for awhile.
Now, San Francisco isn't exactly a
prairie, and not many moments pass
ed until the two encountered one of
the small mountains they call knolls
out there.
"Begorra," said the visitor, "and how
dye think Dom going to get up that?'

his companion. THE divil you say?
