COPPER SAFE FROM LIGHTNING.
Belief Firmly Held in Many Parts Of
the Country.

This matter of superstitions is a
queer thing" said the man as he care
fully avoided walking under ladder
for even those of us who are skeptics
have at least one superstitious failing,
and mine is walking ind er ladders
I'm the country this summer met
a new one, which was firmly believed
in by several farmers, and that was
that thunder storm never passed
over a copper mine or copper vein.
The old fellow who told me about It
pointed out again and again that al
though black clouds might roll up and
lightning fash the storm always went
around a certain spot in his farm.
Such actions on the part of thun
der storm could mean but one thing
he said-that there was copper vein
there. So sure was he of it, that he
was putting by a little each year to
have the spot investigated to see If
there was copper enough in 1t to
work"

The Love Interest
BY S. E. KisER.

What a difficult job the dramatist
has, to be sure! II is always neces-
sary for him to make the hero fall
in love with the girl early in the hrst
act and she must, of course, return
his love without letting him know IT,
at the same time being careful TO
make the matter plain to the audi-
ence. After it has become evident TO
everybody but the girl that the man
is ready to sacrifice even his life tor
her sake and when everybody but the
hero knows that the heroine is dying
for him they proceed somewhat after
this style:

THE WIT OF FoX.-Charles James
Fox. the famous English advocate of
a century ago, and his secretary, Mr..
Hare, who lived with him, were both
noted for their impecuniosity, and
their creditors spent much time in
dunning them. One morning before
daylight there was a violent ringing at
the door, and Mr.. Fox, going TO the
window, found a group of creditors
below.
Are you fox hunting or hare hunt
Ing this morning, gentlemen" he asked.
Come now, Mr. Fox" one of them
called up, tell US when you are go
ing to pay that bill. Just set a date.
and we will leave you in peace"
"All right" was the reply. How
will the day of judgment suit you"
Not at ALL" said the creditor
We'll all be too busy on that day"
We'll" said Mr.. Fox, rather than
put you to any Inconvenience, we'll
make it the day after"

PBoroGRAPHER's OvERsIGRT.-"Con-
found it," exclaimed the proprietor of
the regular summer resort on the lake.
"Confound it," he repeated, with an
emphasis that made 1t mean something
very much stronger.
What seems to be the trouble?" ask
ed his wife as she watched him giarlng
disgustedly at the photograph he held
in his hand.
"Oh, nothing; only this fool photog-
rapher has made a great mistake, and
one of these pictures will have to be
taken over again. 1 wanted to send
them all to the engraver's today, and
now we shall have to wait several days
perhaps before this one will be ready"
But what is wrong with it? 1t looks
all right from here"
What is wrong? Can't you see that
in photographing our string of fish for
the picture One Days Catch he turn
ed the biggest bass so that the moth
eaten place showed plain as day? Now
I'll have to go and get out those OLD
musty things and have all that work
done over again! That reminds me
that we really ought to send to city
market somewhere and get some fish TO
taxidermize or we may find ourselves
without an exhibit at all"
Saying which, he went out and turn
ed the hose on the lake.-Chicago News.

HAD A BETTER START-It is difficult
to get Daddy Nixon, the village CEN
tenarian, to view life with the serious
ness which would appear to be nat
ural to a man of his age. But a really
earnest man never despairs, and Mr..
Sleeker Is a real earnest man. He
pays a visit to Daddy every Christmas
morning. and just as he was conclud-
ing his call on the last occasion he took
the opportunity to make another at
tempt.
Now, daddy" he commenced,
probably you will not live to see an
other hundred years.
We'll, mon." interrupted the old fell
low testify, 1--WE dinna ken the future,
but one thing l kin-I hae begun my

And Mr.. Sleeker had to admit that
it was even so.-Exchange.

LESS CAPACITY For SUFFERING.-"I
notice the soprano doesn't sing any
more solos. Mr.. Battong." said the
Rev. DR.. Fourthly why is that ?"
Because" answered the leader of
the choir. there's a lot of jealous.
i'll natured souls in the congregation
that are always knocking her singing.
They come to her and say it's such a
pity she wasn't at her best when she
sang that solo, and they worry her SO
she can't do herself Justice"
She ought not to let that trou-
BILE her. Why, l never preach a ser
mon without displeasing a lot of peo-

RAY BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR HM.-A
member Of the travelling fraternity
was waiting for a train at small rail-
way station in Northern New Hamp-
shire, where was gathered the usual
number of people whose daily diver
sion is ito see what is going on at the
dee-po." Among the later arrivals
was William Ray, well known in that
section for his ready wit. His ap-
pearance was the occasion of such sa-
lutations as Good morning, Ray
Hello, Ray" from all sides.
Business being dull that morning,
the stranger, thinking this an oppor-
tunity to drum" up a little fun,
turned to the newcomer and inquired:
Are you an X-ray?"
Without hesitation William F. re-
piled: II don't know as I'm an X
ray, but can see through you"
A burst of laughter from the crowd,
silence on the part of the travelling
man.-Boston Herald.

Nor HIS AGE.-Th oldest youngster
in the senate Of the United States is
Pettus of Alabama, says the American
Spectator The Southerner says that
a man who does not grow old as rapid
ly as do his friends Is at a certain ad-
vantage in their presence. The senator
is moved to this reflection by an incl
dent occurring at the recent ceremonies
attending the laying of the corner
stone of the new senate office building
A venerable old fellow, much bent
and broken, approached the Alabamian
whom he took by the hand, affection
ately inquiring as to his health.
Il am in excellent health" briskly
responded Mr. Pettus, not recognizing
the old gentleman.
why don't you know me Pettus?'

Whereupon Mr.. Pettus remembered;

When the old chap had departed, Mr..
Pettus turned to a colleague, observing:

age but, God bless me, didn't dream

A GHOST STDRY.-Under the date of
March 6, 1906. the Annual Register
tells how a butcher of Stretford, in
Lancashire, had disappeared during a
then recent flood and how rumOrs
spread that an apparition had been
seen near certain local pool of wa
ter. Some gave it the form of an un-
canny dog, others that of an equally
mysterious man who uttered blood
curdling yells. and it was told that,
even when nothing else was seen, cat
tie refused to drink at the pond, and
horses trembled as they passed it. At
last a town meeting decided to pump
the pool dry. Ii was done, and there
sure enough, was the butcher.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

AUNTIE's MEMoRY.-An old colored
woman down in Alabama was reputed
to be of great age, and was extremely
proud of the distinction, says the Bos-
ton Herald The proprietor of a mu-
scum, on hearing Of her, sent one OF
his agents to make an investigation, as
she would be valuable acquisition TO
his museum. The agent piled her with
questions regarding her age. He asked
her:
"Auntie, do you remember George
Washington"
Does 1 remember George Wash
ington? Laws a massy, mistah, reck-
on does, for 1 done nursed him when
he was chile
well, 1 suppose you remember the

Yes, inded does, honey, l stood dar

We'll, auntie, how about the fall OF
the Roman empire? Do you recollect
that?"
She reflected awhile and said: DE
