Remarkable Hearing,

An official of the Northern Pacific Cen.
trail railroad was examining employees of
the road to ascertain whether or not
they are color bind or deaf, and thus fit
or unfit for service. He approached one
of the local employees with:
Now, Jones, take the cotton out of
your ears and listen. Can you hear this
watch tick where now hold it?"
Jones cooked his ear professionally"
and didn't hesitate a moment in assuring
the official that he could hear that watch
tick as easy as to hear the blows of a
trip hammer.
Look here, Jones'" said the official,
assuming more serious air. do you

Oh, she was homely-very:
Her nose was pug, and her cheek was thin,
There wasn't a dimple from brow to chin,
But her smile bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not word of the cold or damp,
Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire and lighted the lamp,
And she put on the place different stamp

They forgot that the house was dull old
