band is one who think he has a
perfect wife.
1t is impossible for a man to
judge a woman'S wisdom by what
she doesn't say.
When a woman goes shopping
she squanders a quarter every time
she tries to save a dime.
There may be a time for all
things, but the wise man prefers to
tackle one thing at a time.
There is no telling where a sim
ner will land when he begins to
monkey with a fishing outfit on
Sunday.
Opportunities are like apples; if
you pick them too soon they are
green, and if you wait too long
they are rooten.
Investigate the cause of each
wrinkle i'll a woman face and you
will find it was put there by wor-
rying over something that worry
couldn't help. Chicago News.

The maybe is bird belonging to
the crow family, distinguished from
the crow by its small size, long tail,
short wings and vsriegated plumage.
1t is found in almost all parts of
the world. 1t is from sixteen to
eighteen inches in length, the tail
feathers sometimes measuring elev-
en- inches. The magpie is a shy,
mischievous bird, vigilant and very
cunning, both in hunting food and
in escaping foes. They are general
ly seen in pairs, but occasionally in
large flocks. The magpie's note is
harsh and is sounded so long as an
enemy is in sight. This bird lives on
snails, worms, mice and the eggs
and young of poultry. 1t puts
thorns about its nest to guard it.
The maybe is easily tanned, learns
to say few words and has a desire
to carry off and hide things which
are bright OF glittering.

The days record shows a con-
tinued improvement so far as the
number of new foci is concerned,
and with no secondary infection
from any of the existing foci, the
general situation is regarded as
hopeful. The large number of new
cases. the largest yet reported in a
single day, shows that the tertiary
infection among the panic-stricken
people in the original district is
appearing, which was to be ex-
pecteo. One of the new cases is on
Jackson avenue, in the residence
district, ahd the victim has return
ed recently to the city from his
summer home on the coast.
The relations between the States
of Louisiana and Mississippi have
reached an acute stage, and from
indications tonight il will change
from interviews about the conceal
ment of cases to a much more Sc
rious matter. From information
that has come to hand, the dignity
of the State of Louisiana has been
offended by an armed invasion
from the Sister State, and this
morning Governor Blanchard COM
municated with the Captain of the
naval brigade, which has a fully
equipped gunboat, with a view of
having il dispatched to the borders.

During a political campaign a
well known lawyer in a western state
was addressing an audience COM
posed principally of farmers. Like
a wise speaker-and a shrewd candi-
date-he tried to suit his speech to
the occasion.
In a tone which he evidently con-
sidered both cordial and honest and
with a winning smile he began:
My friends, my sympathies have
always been with the tillers Of the
soil. Ny father was a practical!
farmer, and so was my grandfather
before him. myself was born on
a farm and was, so to speak, reared
between two stalks Of corn"
Here his eloquence was rudely IN
terrupted by the trumpet tones Of a
farmer in the rear of the hall.
"Jimminy crickets," he shouted,
eff you amt a pumpkin
The house ''came down." and the
candidate, for the moment at least,
was sadly embarrassed.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Simple but Amusing Game TO es Play
ed With laana.

Here is a game in which you viii
need three times as many beans a.
there are players. Each person re-
ceives three beans, which he keeps
in his left hand, 50 that no one can
see them.
The party being seated around .
table, each player puts as many Of
his three beans as he wishes, either
one, two or three, or none Mt all
into the right hand and places that
hand on the table. Then each play
er in turn guesses the sum Of the
beans held in all the night hands.
When each player has made his
guess, no two being allowed to say
the same number, all the hands are
opened and the beans counted. The
one who guessed correctly is "out,"
and the game continues until all but
one have guessed the right number.
II no one guesses correctly the first
time they all play again.
II three persons are playing OF
course no guess above nine should be
made, as that is the sum Of the
beans played with If four play,
twelve is the highest number to be
guessed, and so on. The game. is
very amusing in a large party, and
the player who is left at the end
should be made to pay forfeit.
