The Cook Who Played Lady

A prominent woman son the North
Side has just related to a few of her
y friends the story Of her cook Is
vacation this summer. :, The cook IL a
handsome, dignifed woman about 35.
who always dresses in good taste. She
had a tailor suit made before starting
and as she departed for her two weeks
holiday her mistress could mot help
thinking what superior looking per
son she was. She failed to leave any
address, saying she would write from
her destination, which, however, she
did not do. When the. fortnight had
expired she returned looking well and
happy and much more amiable for her
rest. At the end of the week she bor-
rowed a dollar from her mistress with
many apologies, but saying she had
spent all her savings, which amounted
to $7O, during her vacation. Natural
~ her mistress was surprised and
asked her how she had done it..
She explained that she had deter
mined to be a lady for once in her life
and instead of leaving the city she had
boarded at one Of the fashionable ho-
tells, registering as Mrs from. New
York. She had one Of the incest
rooms, had her breakfast served there
before dressing, occasionally took a
urlVe IN Lne forenoon, went to the mat
1nee twice week and dined in style.
She became acquainted with some nice
people from Philadelphia, who enter
rants and .theaters and, in short, led
the life of woman Of wealth and
position. Now it was all over and She
was quite content to resume her avoca-
ton. The mistress was aghast and
the only thing she said was: Sarah. T
think you were mighty clever to do it
all on $40. "-Chicago News.

THE sKIDoo PROBLEM

A coin collector had an accu-
mutation Of pennies: He told his
son he would make him present
Of the entire lot if he would put
them in boxes, the same number in
each box. :
There was an odd number of
pennies, so that if he put an equal
number in each Of two boxes there
would be one penny left over; in
like manner he figured on 3, 4, 5,
6, y 8, 81 10, II, 12, 13, H. is, ,16,
II, '18, 10, 20, 21 and % boxes, but
in every case If he. put an equal
number in each box there would be
one (only one) penny left over.
The son gave it up and told his
father he thought it impossible to
perform the feat. ..
His father REPLIED 'SKIDOO

QUEER PAPERS

.sThere's hardly a subject" said an
editor, Nthat hasn t a paper devoted
to it. There is hay fever paper, for
instance. full Of cures and resorts for
the hay fever victim.
Take dancing. Well, there are
thirteen papers, some Of them illus.
trated, that treat Of dancing alone. @
Take bees. There are some twenty
or thirty bee weeklies, one Of which
has circulation Of $4,000.
8. Take barbering. There ARE dozen
journals that relate to nothing but the
Marcel wave, the box beard, The latest
patent strop and chair and massage
cream. :, :,
$50 it goes. The shoemaker has his
paper, the bricklayer has his, the blind
man has his in raised type, the convict
has his, the stamp collector has his.
AS soon as a new thing comes out
-automobiling, say--papers spring up
devoted to it. Even before thing
has arrived it may establish its papers
as, for instance, the flying machine,
which hasn't arrived yet, and already
we have quite half a dozen papers de.

A yirulent attack Of skidoo fever has
broken out among the readers Of T b E
j UT al. It's symptoms are rag
ing desire to: figure on a pad of paper
with a pencil, and feverish anxiety to
send the figures to the Skidoo Problem
Editor. AS result the said editor is
entirely overwhelmed with figures
These figures begin as low as twenty
three and run up by gradual stages into
millions, billions and trillions.
One victim ,of the fever was Obliged
to secure an extra large piece of wall
paper on which to write his answer to
the problem. It came thru the mails
AL Al right and reached the editor intact.
Ihe writer failed to sign his name, but
6S0,0o1. He adds: 7Given a gattling
gun from which the old coin collector s
collection Of pennies could be dis
charged and. a gasolene engine to fur
nish power to run the same, it would
take in order to discharge the pennies
at the rate of % second, 15,485,8
767 ,325,774 years to finish the Job
N. j. Peterson Of Hawley, Mimi, de-
clares that the number in question is
over a sextillion. The exact number he
gives is the same as that of the wall
paper man. s. A. Spratt, Bath, s. D.,
fnds total of 25,852, ,016, ,738, ,S90,726,-
100000 pennies and adds that the boy
'can count pennies faster than can
If this is correct.' W.. Harvey James,
Breckenridge, MINI, says the pennies
numbered 1854, ,228, ,903 and declares
that the boy by counting and dividing
this number certainly went long ways
toward earning the fortune which was
his by right of solving the; problem.
