his unnatural infatuation for zebras,
but you might as well talk to rich
old man who gets stuck on chorus

has to go and live at the poor house.
A zebra always looks to me like a
joke that nature has played. Who, but
nature, would ever think of laying out
q plan for zebra, and painting it in
stripes, like BARRIERS pole, and yet
we must admit that few human artists
could paint million Zebras and get
the stripes on as perfect as nature
does with her eyes shut. The mule
and the zebra are distant relatives,
cause lots of mules lave few stripes
on their legs, but the zebra is the
eldest son who is aristocratic and in
herits the stuff, while the mule is the
younger son who never gets look
in for the money, but has to work
for living. So it is no wonder to me
that the mule kicks. The zebra is the
dude of the family, and the mule looks
up to him, when he ought to kick his
Stats in, and rub out his stripes with
a mule shoe,eraser.

never was such a runaway since the

on her to hold her down, the crowd
yelled, and our zebras run into the
cage ahead, containing the behemoth
of Holy Writ, and knocked off hind

either tipped over or disabled. The

THEN HE MADE HIS ESCAPE
Papa Had an Idea Which Proved to
Be Just What Was
Needed.

This may not be / new way of get
ting rid of a persistent caller, but it
has certainly not grown stale by ap-
plication, and has the interest of an
actual recent occurrence, relates Judge.
The fathers business takes him out
of town good deal. and the daugh-
ter has caller with whom there is
an understanding that it is only the
final stage before the engagement. The
other night the father served gen
eral notice that he must take an early
train, and must be called for it. The
same evening came the fortunate
young man referred to.
BY ten o'clock the cid gentleman had
the fidgets, and rapidly reached the
conclusion that his comfort was a
minor consideration in that house
hold. This is not true, but 1t is a
conviction that frequently seizes the
head of a family when he is out of
sorts. He slammed several doors as a
reminder to the caller. He raised the
same noisy window three times, and
it always makes more noise when be-
ing lowered He put out lights wher-
ever they were not an absolute neces-
sity. called to the younger children
that it was high time they were
asleep, and dropped shoe every
three or four minutes with a hope that
il would serve as a hint.
When everything else had failed,
and his patience was about exhausted,
he went to the top Of the stairs and
shouted:
GLADYS, did or did / not tell you
to call me at 4:30, SD that | could get
my train?'
"You told me, papa"
"Why in creation didn't you attend
to it, them"
For less than minute there was
some tall hustling below stairs and
one could have heard pin drop while
the caller was making his sneak into
outer darkness.
