Anecdote of Sothern.

Sothern was travelling on tour in
Northern England, when, just as their
train was leaving York, he removed
the railroad ticket which fellow actor
had stuck in the band of his hat
They'll want our tickets here,
Johnny" he said casually, and his
companion began an exhaustive
search for the missing ticket. When
he had searched his hat and his peck.
cts ten times over, and looked on seat
and floor again and again, in vain, he
exclaimed, in despair:
By George, I've lost my ticket
They'll make me pay over again!"
"Pay over again! I'd see them
hanged first" said Sothern; you get
under the seat and it'll be all right"
His friend crawled under the seat,
and lay there, gasping for breath, as
the ticket collector came to the door
Tickets, pleased" he demanded.
Sothern handed the man two tick,
cts.
1.-TWO tickets, sir. Where's the 9TH
er gentleman"
"Oh!" replied Sothern nonchalantly
1.-The other gentleman prefers to travel
under the seat. It's only his way"

BETTER THAN MEDICINE
Breathe Hyomei's Tonic Healing
and be Cured Of Catarrh

Nature has remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dosing
the stomach with medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams of
Hyomei which medicates the air you
breath, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs, and re-.
storing health to the mucous mem
brane.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives a curative
cir bath to the air passages that has
as powerful healing and antiseptic
effect as that found in the mountains
where the pine forests give off their
fragrant and healing balsams.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei, and see how quickly you
will get relief from your catarrhal
troubles. Hanson & Emerson have
seen SO many cures, even of the worst
cases of catarrh, with offensive breath,
raising Of mucus, frequent sneezing,
droppings in the throat and spasmodIc
coughing, that they feel warranted in
sellingI Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee, to refund the money if it
does not do all that is claimed for it.
They take all the risk.

Saving the Milk.

In one of the model schools of our
city first grade teacher was having
a lesson on COW. She was trying to
impress on the young minds the vari-
GUS uses Of milk, butter, cheese, and
she wanted some bright genius to tell
how the farmer fed the surplus milk
to the pigs.
Leading up to this, she asked the
following question:
"Now, children, after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs, and uses what milk he wants
for his family, what does he do with
the milk that still remains?"
Dead silence followed for a mo-
ment, and then one little hand waved
frantically.
The teacher smiled and said, well,
James,"
"He pours it back into the cow!"
piped James.

The LITTLE BRIDES SAY
THAT:
here are lots of Parkers in town.


There are lots of Parkers in town.
Nobody has any time for the man
with crouch.
Following politics for business is
a delusion and snare.
The exhibition of a sore toe edlfies
nobody but the owner of the toe.
The man who runs a sunshine
factory will never lack for friends.
Lots of fellows religion is like their
property, all in their wife's names.
Some fellows cannot skate in the
future; they will need asbestos suits.
It's mighty hard job to try to get
the Unborn cussedness out of some
people.
There are people in this world that
are neither things Of beauty nor joys
forever
A hen-pecked man is about as de-
serving of sympathy as anything
imaginable.
Ones own estimate of himself and
the other fellows estimate of him very
rarely agree.
Mighty few church choirs ever
existed that didn't have row some
time or other.
If everybody worked as hard as the
Devil does there would be something
doing every minute.
It's heap sight easier to criticise
the preacher than it is to hold down
the job satisfactorily.
The colored Sunday supplement of
the daily newspaper is fright in
more ways than one and should be
abolished.
What some people think they know
would fill large library but what they
really know would make heap sight
smaller one.
Sank Centres one of the best
towns on the map and it's good
thing for every one Of its citizens to
tell everybody so.
The average woman can no more
pass mirror without looking in it
than duck can 60 near pond with
out going in for swim.
The fellow that's always ready to
tell the editor how to run the paper
would make an awful mess of it if he
were to try his hand at the business.
The late lamented Josh Billings told
the truth when he said that elite
butes are a luxury inasmuch they
make Teller fergit all his other
miseries.''
Some people who read this column
last week thought they were the ones
meant in some of the paragraphs and
went after "The Little Brides" with a
sharp stick.
When the automobile microbe
obtains permanent Judgment in the
anatomy OF human being the one
harboring it can't think of very much
but gas wagons.
The papas of manageable daughters
will soon be facing big expense in
heating the parlor until late hour at
night for the use of said daughters
and their 'ownest own" young man.
Just because some people have been
drowned in water is no valid reason
why anybody should shun the aque-
Gus fluid. It's good to wash in even
though you prefer to drink something
else.
It's good deal better to say nice
things about other people than it is to
be eternally finding fault with them.
There isn't person living who hash t
some good points and it won't hurt to
try to find them.

ORIGIN Of Sea Phrases,

There is hardly a language which
has not been called upon to provide
at least one of the curious sea terms
which are in constant use and whose
origin is so obscure For instance,
the word admiral is not of English
origin, but is from the Arabic emil ell
bagh," or lord of the sea- Captain
mate is from Icelandic, and means a
companion or equal.
Commodore is not so difficult to
trace to it's beginning. It is simply
the Italian "comandatore," meaning
commander.
No such person as Davy Jones ever
existed, though we often hear of him
and his locker One should speak of
Duffy Jonah's locker for that was
the original. Duffy" is the West In
dian name for spirit or ghost, while
Jonah refers, of course, to the proph-
ct.
Another curious case of a term
gradually corrupted out of the orig
inal form is the dog watch. 1t was
originally the dodge watch" because
it lasted only two hours instead Of
four, and thus makes it possible that
the same men shall not be on duty
every day during certain hours.

Not Yet,

Little Jimmy is animated by two
ruling passions in this life One is a
perfectly sincere hatred of school, and
all that therein is, and the other is an
inordinate liking for fishing in a
stream close to his own home
A little while ago he discovered
that he was possessed of a defective
memory which permitted him to for
get all about school duties, and so he
betook himself to the hereinbefore
mentioned stream to fish.
He was proceeding homeward when
he met one of his schoolmates.
Halo, Jimmy! What yer caught?"
queried the latter.
ooh, nothin' yet" said Jimmy Il
amt been home"
