CAUGHT whi.kers In Safe.

In locking his safe the other night
prior to his going home for supper
George Edgemont, paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit
age lane, Manayunk, shut the safe
door upon his flowing whiskers and
was held until released by his daugh-
ter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day. Returning to his
office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it. He then threw the
door shut, catching the end of his
beard in the door. In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself With his chin
resting on the safe he was discov-
cred about an hour after the accident
by his daughter, who came to find
what had delayed him. The safe was
broken open by locksmith.

The Worst Wa. Yet to Come.

A southern pulpit orator, one Sun
day morning, was describing the ex-
perience of the prodigal son. In his
endeavor to impress his hearers with
the shame and remorse that this
young man felt and his desire to cast
away his wicked doings, he spoke
thus: ....
"Dis young man got to thinking
about his meanness and his misery,
and he TUX off his coat and frowed it
away. And den he TUX off his vest
and frowed dat away. And den ne TUX
off his shirt and frowed dat away too.
And den he come to hisself."

Now he paints Devoe; 60 gallons; and
the difference is a saving of $3.50 a year.
