CAUSED MEN TO LAUGH.
But Women Saw No Reason for Lev.
ity in Ruined Headgear.

Mems sense of humor is peculiar.
For example, every man in the vicin-
fly of Broadway and Spring street
chuckled gleefully the other day over
an accident that reduced the women
present to a state of tears. A small,
one-horse wagon loaded with packing
cases was run into by heavy truck.
The small wagon was hit so hard that
several Of the cases were jolted off
and broken open, scattering the con-
tents over the street The demolished
merchandise consisted of women's
headgear. There were felt and vel
vet hats, feathers, flowers and rib
bon. Most of the hats were bent and
crushed into even more ridiculous
shapes than had been designed by the
milliner, and the feathers and flowers
were crushed That was what tickled
the men.
"Womens hats, by George!" ex-
claimed a strapping young fellow who
carried two suit cases. Somebody's
finery has gone to smash, and some
poor devil of man has escaped pay
ing a tremendous bill"
At that exhibition of alleged wit
every other man of high or low de-
gree laughed uproariously, and con
tinued to laugh until the wreckage
had been scraped up and the little
comedy of the streets was played out

FIRED FoRTY-TWo SHOTS.
A Lengthy and Harmless Due! Be,
tween Two Italians.

A remarkable duel was fought in
Naples recently. II arose out of GUAR.
rel between two Neapolitan aristo-
Gratis, to settle which a duel was ar
ranged. When, however, the comba-
tants were facing each other, sword
in hand, a reconciliation was effected.
Then a fresh dispute arose between
Signor San Malato, one of the prin-
cipals, noted fencer, and Signor Bas-
lone, one of the seconds, with The re-
suit that second duel was arranged
between them, to continue until one
of them was incapacitated.
The weapons were to be pistols.
Both parties, though famed as fenc-
ers, proved very bad shots, for at 65
feet distance Al shots were exchanged
without the shedding of blood.
At the fortysecond shot, however,
San Malato grazed his opponents
cheek, making a slight abrasion
The seconds then INTERVIEWED hon
or was declared satisfied, and the
duelists embraced each other amid,
the report says, a touching scene.
Both combatants were congratulate
ed upon their GOODNESS under this
hail of bullets. The affair lasted ex-
actly three hours and half.

He Just Threw.

A boy working in a garden in the
village of Grafton, o., saw dog pass
ing along the street and, of course,
he picked up stone and took throw.
The stone hit the dog, and the canine
ran under the feet of a team of
horses. The horses ran away and
dashed into the front of store.
A lhan in getting out of their way
fell and broke his leg. A man and a
woman in the store were badly hurt
The damage to the store was 800
One horse was killed and the wagon
smashed, and that counted up 5000
more.
It's fun to throw a stone at a dog
and see him get a hump on himself
but sometimes the thing doesn't end
with laugh. In this case the boy who
did the throwing is in jail and wishing
he hadn't done it,-Boston Globe.

A young man cannot afford to have
a questionable reputation. 1t is said
by those who attended a recent trial
wherein a young man was charged
with petty oFense, that not withstand
ing there was little evidence against
him at the trial, some Of the jury voted
him guilty on general principles" He
had had previous troubles Of discred-

Artful.

A bank manager in charge Of a
country branch was a very good
sportsman, and extremely fond OF
snipe shooting. A customer of the
bank called in one day and asked him
to have a days shooting, which he
accepted The customer, standing with
the door of the managers room half
open, said aloud, so that it should be
heard in the bank itself:
"Well, that's all right, then?"
Eyes, that's all right" repeated the
manager, upon which the customer
stepped up to the counter and pre-
scented his check for $500, which was
promptly cashed, although his ac-
count was considerably overdrawn.

Encourage your children if they
show a fondness for music. Teach
them little kindergarten and nursery
songs which are bright and swinging.
The music should be easy enough for
the childish voices to master without
any difficulty. Do not start child
to studying instrumental music when
too young, for the practicing will be-
come drudgery and the child's tai
ent may be ruined. A child should be
at least IL or Is years of age before
it is made to study music, and many
authorities claim that 16 is the proper
age. If child has no taste or fond
ness for music, do not force it to
study for it will be time and money
wasted and 1t is sometimes ruinous
to child's disposition.
