HE'D NEVER ADVERTISED.

Blakesburg Excelsior.-A young
lady working in a stocking factory,
fearing her chances small for life
partner, wrote the following and slip
ped it into the toe of gentleman's
sock: "a young lady, good looking
respond with the wearer of this
stocking, if he is single, with view
Of matrimony." A young man bought
the sock, and said: There is my
chance" He wrote offering himself
as a suitable party, and to his sur.
prise got this reply: II have been
married eight years and have a fam
lily of five children" The man from
whom he bought the sock had never
advertised, consequently they had
lain on his shelves eight years.

A FOOLISH PAIR.

A Chicago couple have been driven
to the divorce court by a trivial quar-
rel The wife insisted that their baby
should not suck it's thumb, because
she had read in an article on How
20 Rear the Baby written perhaps
by some bald-headed old batch elor-that
sucking the thumb spells the shape Of
the baby's mouth and weakens the
thumb. The husband insisted that it
was the inalienable right of every
baby to suck its thumb, because it had
nothing else to do.
Then the wife got pair of mittens
so the baby could not spoil It's shapely
mouth. The husband came home to
find the baby who disliked the taste
OF the mittens, roaring with rage, and
then he threw the mittens away. The
scene was soon transferred to the
divorce court.
Now how much better it would have
been If the mother. after reading care
fully the advise on how to rear the
baby, had said:
John, this paper says baby
should never be permitted to suck it's
thumb because it spoils the shape of
the darling's mouth l believe the
man that wrote the piece is grouchy
old man and never saw a baby
To which John would probably re-
oily:
WHAT'S the difference If sucking
the thumb does spoil the shape of the
mouth If the kid enjoys it. All orators
have big mouths anyway"
Or, if mamma did think there was
some truth in the big mouth theory
and fastened mittens on babys hand,
the fond father could show her the err
ror of her ways by using little tact.
For instance he could say:
Here, kid. if mamma won't let you
suck your thumb. just be little man
and smoke papas cigar
OF course the mother would choose
the lesser of the two evils But If she
insisted on the mittens, why couidn'4
the husband propose this:
g Now. Maria, let's compromise. Let
the baby suck its thumb in the morn
fngs and then put the mittens on in
the afternoon. Then Well both be

LOOKED OVER THE HOUSE.

New York Times.-Leaving the key
Of an empty house with neighbor in
order that likely tenants may inspect
the premises is common. The owner
Of house on Lexington avenue has
for good reason decided to keep the
key of his house himself for the fu-
ture.
Hearing that some one had been
looking over" the house the landlord
called on the old woman who had
been entrusted with the key.
"Well, Mrs. -" he said. $50

mo, don't think he does. What
he wants is an opportunity. When he
got the key, he went across the street
and as l heard nothing from him for
an hour or SO, followed. He'd taken
all the doorknobs and every ounce Of
lead about the place but he'd left the
house. Maybe he's coming back for
that too as he didn't return the key.

AMERICANS AS MEAT EATERS.

AMEHlCANS AS MEAT EATERS.
A recent report issued by the de-
partment of agriculture shows the
American people to be the greatest
meat eaters In the world. Although
the meat consumption per capita has
declined in this country since 1910,
tho Americans maintain long lead as
the following table showing the per
capita consumption in 1904 in dress
ed weight shows:
United States, 1850 pounds.
United Kingdom. 121 pounds.
Australia. 263 pounds.
New Zealand. PIP pounds.
Cuba. 124 pounds.
France. 70 pounds.
Belgium. 70 pounds.
Denmark, 76 pounds.
Sweden, 81 pounds.
Italy 46 pounds.
If the agricultural departments re-
port can be relied upon the average
subject Of Uncle Sam eats as much
meat in a year as Britisher, and
Australian. New Zealander, Gu
ban, a Frenchman Belgian, a Dane,
a swede and an Italian put together
and then some.

right. And at night you can give him
few persimmons TO eat to quicker
up his mouth"
But even If this compromise, which
certainly is fair enough. should be re-
jected, the wise husband would give
up gracefully and let his wife go her
best. He might find reinsurance in
the certainty that as soon as baby
thus reared grew old enough he would
have strong ally in any future argu
ment he might have with such an ex-
acting mother.
