FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMoR.
Pithy Remarks from One of the Fore
most Jokesmiths.

With the truly artistic tempera-
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion of doubling its value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning laurel
wreath to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter shop state just
what you want. For then the mer'
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than 1t will be to live 1t down
when you are older.-Puck.

COULD USE THE ROAD.
Irish Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.

The following colloquy is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment of American infantry,
under orders to support section of
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite a while on perfectly fiat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. OF course, to
lie fla on the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. AS a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were "plopping' down the
road and kicking up the gravel, a
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike, what do the British SOL
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as flash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,
sorr!"
After full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:
However. be that as it may, wish
could pick up this d road and
stan it on edge feminist mel"

HOW HE FOUND THE KEY.
Brothers Method Was Simple, but
Also Somewhat Costly.

Miss Dresswell had just returned,
after spending a week with country
friend. Imagine her CONSERVATION
when she discovered her previously
well-stocked wardrobe empty!

brother Where are all my clothes
And what in the world is that great

The face of George exhibited all the
well-known signs of conscious right

flinchingly.

wrote to me that if 1 wanted the key
of the billiard room l should find it in

"Yes, yes!"
"Well, | don't know a bolero from a

LEFT THEM ALL CRUSHED.
Power of Wealth Impressed on GATH
ering of Farmers.

At sale of fancy farm stock in
Massachusetts Thomas w. Lawson
was one of the foreign buyers in at
tendance. He went in his private
car, with private secretary, chef, valet,
etc; also he took up private stock
car, specially fitted up for transporting
whatever choice animals he might
buy.
Mr.. Lawson's coming had been well
advertised, and farmers came from
far and wide to have sight of linn.
The fair grounds were so crowded that
many men and boys were unable to
gain admission, and they roasted on
trees surrounding the grounds so they
could peer over the high board fence
at Mr. Lawson.
The financier was an active bidder.
After time a local farmer put up
for sale 2-year-old heifer. He had
originally paid 5000 for the animal,
but she had not turned out quite as he
had anticipated, so he did not expect
to realize more than that amount for
her, if so much.
Some one started the bidding at
$loU. Mr.. Lawson promptly and loud
ly bid $160. He was met with $165,
which he raised to SITS. This was
again raised, whereat Mr.. Lawson
seemed much annoyed. In an impress
sive manner he bid $3.50, and looked
haughtily around as if to indicate that
no presuming yokel should again defy
the man of wrath. However, an un-
abashed farmer ventured 5000, and
others followed until the figure stood
at 1925. Then daring soul said $235.
There was an awful pause, while all
eyes turned expectantly toward Mr..
Lawson. Rising majestically, Mr..
Lawson roared out, six hundred dol
lars!" and with an awful crash every
man and boy perched on the surround
ing trees fell to the ground, stunned
by the power of wealth.

Distinction and difference,

IN a large field that refused to be

The owner tore along behind, red and

and swearing passionately.
The mule would let him draw very
aear. almost near enough to throw
the halter over it's head; then it
would kick up it's legs merrily and
run like the wind.
"A boy. his face wreathed in smiles,

Gambler Wins His Fight.

Under the leadership of Mr.. CGnd-
Ter, Of Mississippi, the house, In COM
mittee of the whole, voted to continue
the free distribution of garden and
flower seeds along old lines and not
according to the methods recommend
ed by the agricultural committee in
the appropriation bill. Mr.. Jones, Of
Washington, made a point of order
against the amendment that no dis
tribuition of seed was authorized by
law.
Mr. Foster, of Vermont, in the
chair, sustained the principle, but adj
mitted that it was an exceedingly
close question. Were it new propo-
sition there was no doubt in his mind
that it should be sustained, but in
view of the long continued practice
and some precedents he felt that the
house should, itself, decide. In order
that it might do this he sustained the
point.
Mr.. Gambler appealed from the de-
cision and, by vote of 81 to 136,
the chair was overruled. The amend
ment appropriating S23S,0OO for the
free distribution of seeds was then
adopted, as has b.en the practice for
