brogue to be found in his speech We'll the riend replied, If you are determined to make a denial that you have 8 brogue I should advise you to do so in writing"
 A valued laborer in the employ of g. successful contractor had the one bad habit of coming late every morning to his work. When reproached for his tradiness, the honest fellow said he was perfectly willing to come earlier, but that he just couldn't wake up in time. When the suggestion was made that he buy an alarm clock his face lighted up with pleasure, and he agreed to make the purchase at once and not be tardy thereafter. All went well for a few days, and then Pat was late again. The secondhand clock he had bought at a pawnshop had baked on him. Prompted by curiosity, the Irish man proceeded to take the timeplece apart and when a defunct cockroach was found curled up in the works Pat exclaimed triumphantly "Bedad, no wonder she wouldn't work; the engi- neers dead"
 
 THE BEST IRISH STORY.
 I asked man who had lived in Ire land for years what he considered the best instance of Irish wit he had ever heard, and he replied that without ex- ception his favorite was the one about the soldier and his wounded compan- ion. This yarn had been told by many professional story tellers and is always appreciated It goes ike this: Two young fellows who went to war togeth- CT agreed that whichever was wounded first should be carried to the doctor by the other. While a battle was in pro- gross one of them fell, crying that a bullet had struck him in the thigh and requesting his friend to carry him to the hospital. Pat accordingly shoul- dered his comrade and started for the rear. On the way a piece of shell cut the wounded mans head off clean at

HUlMoR OF IRIsHMEN.

Their Light Heartedness Rises Srperi-
 or to All Situations.
 Although dark shadows of poverty and distress have hung over hapless Ireland for hundreds of years, no amount of sorrow seems capable of de- stroying the joviality and lghit heart- edness that are the natural traits of the sons of Erin. No ossagi0n can be 50 gloomy that Irish wit will not ex- tract a spark of humor from the situa- tion. Rather than dwell upon the scheerless side of life in the 11mera!d Isle, will make this chapte: q budget of Pats bright doings and sly ngs
 One morning while some passengers from a train were taking q meal in a restaurant of railroad station, one of them was detained in making change, and came out of the door just as the last car of the train passed. Rushing frantlcally down the platform the excl ted Irishrnan yelled at the top of his voice: "Hould on there, Mr. Engineer, hould in; you've got a passenger aboard that's left behind Another Irishman, who was guest In d v,l- lage hotel, was made the butt of some practical jokers who blacksrcd his face while he was asleep. In the rnorning, when Pat was called, he happened to look in the mirror, and, stopping in anpazement, said; "Bedad, that's a good joke on the bellboy; ae's called the wrong man" r
 ASHAMED OF HIS BROGUE
 A story is told of a prominent clergy man in Ireland who was ashamed of his brogue. Learning that he was a little touchy on the subject, members of his congregation were inclined to poke fun at him about it. One day while speaking to one of the leading parishioners, the parson complained of the injustice done him and asked if honestly, there was a single trace oi

At any rate. claims for nearly fifteen thousand dol lars were put in by Washington coun- ty and others, and attachments for large amounts were filed against all his property.
 The attachments came at a time When Foss had numerous obligations to
 meet and was short of ready cash. and so he was forced Into bankruptcy He had beaten the authorities for years in a battle of wits over the liquor law. but the county attorney had one shot left In his locker, and it knocked the clever Floss completely out.--New York Tribune.

 Maines most defiant violator of the prohibition law, who made one hun dred thousand dollars while Washing ton county officials were energetically trying to drive him out of business, but who retired three years ago in or der to engage in legal commercial en- terprises recently went into bankrupt cy on account of an attachment brought In connection with his former transactions,
 Walter Foss, of Machias, Is one of the most interesting characters in the Pine Tree state. Unable to read or write, he learned arithmetic by play ing poker, of which game he was a past master. All through hls career he has shown himself possessed of busi- ness qualifications of a high degree.
 While Foss experience in defying the prohibitory law resulted in large pro- fits, his persistence was not an alto gether bad thing for Washington coun- ty, inasmuch as 1t Is estimated that he paid into the county treasury In ten years at least thlrty-fve thousand dol lars in fines.
 Constant raids on his different es- tabllshments never troubled him. If one place was visited by officers and his entire stock cleaned out ina night, the next morning would See a new sup ply ready If by the operation of a nuisance measure he was forced to leave one building, the next day would find his bar open and ready for busi- ness in another part of whatever town action had been taken If the sherifs served a personal warrant on him, ball was immediately forthcoming, and the morning invariably found him at his usual post. For years his exploits kept the citizens agog with excitement but Foss maintained a calm and even tenn perament and went on selling liquor

Irish people for discovering the Judi crous III any Incident doubtless has no better illustration than in the remark of one of the gallery gods at a Dublin theatre. During performance of
 Faust' the actor taking the part of Mephistopheles was rather portly, and when it came time for him to descend through a trap door to the lower re- gtons the hole proved too small for him and he stuck. As he squeezed and pushed in the attempt to get through, the silence was broken by a voice from the gallery saying: Well, boys, you needn't worry now. Hell seems to be so full that there's no room for any more down there"
 "PARADOXES IN THE SAND"
 A doctor had a patient who was gradually wearing out from ung trou- ble. On one of his calls he remarked to the sufferer that he was sorry to note that he was coughing with greater diff ficulty than on the previous day. The sick man repled "Divll take it, Doc. I don't see how that can be; I've been practising all night" Although the Irishman may often be ignorant, he is generally unwilling to admit it. Once when a gamekeeper was giving an ex- aggerated account of the game to be found in that community he was asked if there were any paradoxes in his dis trict Nothing daunted, he replied 1T am sorry, your honor, but them's very rare in these parts, but yez rnigt find two or three on the sand when the tide goes out"
 One day when two Trishmen walking along a road inquired how far if was to certain place they were told that te distance was twelve miles. The De- destrians were already footsore and weary from teir long journey, and sat down by the roadside in disconsolate spirits Finally one of them. to oaer his comrade said Sure, Mike that's not so bad; twelve miles Is only six apiece, so let's be going" One day an aged man said to cabnan, Help me, my good man, for I am very old" The rejoihder was characteristic in It's po- lite blarney: "Begorra, sir, no matter what age you are, you don't look it."
 ENTERTAINING IN IRELAND.
 The Irishmans idea of hospitality Is to provide an abundance of liquor: In fact, it has been said that he would not hesitate to pawn his brooches or his shirt to procure a drink for a friend. Do you know Daly of Queenstown?" asked one Irishman of anoter. q used to know him, but he's too stingy for me. l have never yet left his able comfortably drunk" That a guest should leave a house sober is either A mark of discourtesy toward the host. or a reflection upon the latter for not providing enough liquor Any attempt to shirk the bottle or decanter is a gross breach of hospitality. An old custom to prevent a guest from avoid ing his responsibility in this regard was to put a piece of paper into hls glass for every round the bottle had

 A raw recruit in the army was given an unbroken pony to ride. After a lively siege of bucktng, one of the horses legs became e1ltangled in the stirrup, causing Mike ito remark: '"Faith, if you are thinking of getting up here, 'tis time for me to be gitting down." An old squire wrote a letter to his family physician urging him to come at once and bring some medicine for the gout. After the medical advi- ser had examined his patient he said: ''Why, man, you haven't the gout; you are suffering from rheumatism" The old squire hesitated for a moment and replied reluctantly: T know it, but there was no one here in the house who could spell that word" An Irish off, cial who had served long In India, while defending that country against the charge of being unhealthy for white men to live in, said: "A lot of young fellows come out here and they eat and they drink and they drink and they eat, until they die; and then they write home to their friends and claim that 1t was the climate that did

TOPEKA's BANK CLEARINGs.

1t has been d matter of some public
comment that the bank clearinss OF
Topeka have decreased considerably in
the last year or so. The bald figures
apparently indicate that the banks of
Topeka are not doing so great a bust
ness as tlsey did year or two ago, but
if one analyses the situation it be-
comes evident that they are doing
more than ever of the kind of business
that counts.
The Southwestern Banker. the Of
fetal financial publication of the trans
Mississippi region. published at Kan
sas City, brings this fact out. 1t ac-
counts for the apparent falling off by
the fact that the extensive operations
of C. J. Devlin no longer pass through
Topeka banks. Mr.. Devlin's opera
tions largely increased the clearances
of the banks here. but it was not a
class of business that brought in re-
turns of profitable chara cter. There
fore the loss of these clearances does
not indicate that there is less real
business done in Topeka than former
ly. Here is the way the Southwestern
Banker expresses it:
1.-THE kites of c. J. Devlin are down.
That is a word best understood by
bankers and financial men. The de-
scent is shown most plainly in THE
Bradstreet bank clearings issued on
November 10. Topeka then stood 81
in list of "a, with a decrease of 31.5
as compared with the corresponding
week of last year. But three other
towns show decreases, the next great
est being Columbus, with Sc. With
the extraordinary manipulatiOns of the
deceased coal operator absent from
the market, the bank clearances of To
peka are seeking a natural normal
level. The decrease is something re-
markablc, but by no means alarming.
That city is doing just as much bust
ness as ever-in fact, the local com
merciaI circles speak of good times
Another reason why Topeka's bank
clearings do not show an increase cor
responding to the normal increase of
business is because the Rock Island
formerly paid its employees in Kansas
through Topeka banks. It ceased do
ing so some months ago. Now the
Rock Island sends just as much money
into Kansas as ever, but it paid direct
instead of through Topeka banks. and
therefore it has been taken from the
Topeka bank clearings.
In real legitimate business, however.
Topeka was never as prosperous as 1t
is today It's business, too, is upon
solid foundation, far more so than
when Mr.. Devlin was conducting his
operations here.
