Who Hanna Was.

s One day two Irishmen CHANGED to
meet and, of course, politics were dis
zeussed. President Mckinley and Mark
Hanna were the main objects of con-
versation. The one little smarter than
his partner was telling the relations
which existed between the two when
the listener, in an earnest but lnqu1r-
, ing way, said: - =
! ssWell, sir, who is HANNAH
I. Then the speaker turned with disgust
and said:. 49, D., /

The Irish Sentry.

An Irish soldier on sentry duty had
orders to allow no one to smoke near
his post. An officer with lighted
cigar approached, whereupon Pat boldly
challenged him and ordered him to put
it out at once. The officer, with a ges-
ture Of disgust, threw away the cigar,
but no sooner was his back turned
than Pat picked it up and quietly re-
tired to the sentry box.
The officer, happening to look around
observed a beautiful cloud Of smoke
issuing from the box. He at once chal-
lenged Pat for smoking on duty.
2 HSmoking, is it, sir9 Bedad, and I I'm
only keeping it lit to show the corporal
when he comes as evidence against

Bound to Have a Divorce.


Dinah was a buxom colored woman
who did the family washing and iron
ing during my visit to an aunt in the
south. She had a number of children
and an ebony-hued individual of small
stature and dazzling white teeth, who
was generally known as "Dinah s.
husband,' and whose chief occupation
seemed to be romping with the chill
dren and complacently smoking pipe
on the cabin doorstep.
One morning Dinah called on her way
to town to inform us Of the fact that
after mature deliberation she had
finally decided to secure what she
called "deevoss" from that good for
nothing niger, Aleck.
= We readily agreed to the wisdom Of
her course and saw no more of Dinah
until few days later when she slipped
quietly into our kitchen and began to
gather u her washing paraphernalia.
ttWell, did you get your divorced"
asked my aunt.
emo IN, I didn It get no deevoss,' =
said Dinah, tearfully. "The jedgea he
said that seeing as how me and Aleck
never been married, he couldn't give us
no deevoss.' ID .,,zf
However, a few days later Dinah had
evidently solved the difficulty, for she
appeared again at our kitchen door,
with Aleck and a brood Of stiffy
starched and -ironed children In her
wake, to advise us of her inability to
wash that day as she and Aleck were
going to get married.
"And then III see if the jedge will
give me that deevoss," she said grimly
and stalked majestically down the road
with Aleck meekly bringing up the
rear Of the procession. "A. M. K. 4

One On Satan.

A lady, reclining on her couch in her
library one night, with the light low,
was trying in vain to 60 to sleep.
Beside her, on table, wasssa dish OF
fine fruit. As she lay there she saw
her little daughter tiptoe into the room
in her long, white nightgown. The
child, thinking her mother asleep, ad-
vanced cautiously to the table, took
bunch Of grapes, and stole out again
The mother was grieved at such mis-
conduct on the part Of her good little
daughter, but she said nothing
Five minutes passed. Then back into
the room again crept the child, the
grapes in her hand untouched. She
replaced them on the dish, and as she
departed her mother heard her mutter
THAT'S the time you got left, Mr.
Devil - j. r. Whitaker,
