All Gummed Up.

Eph Higgins, our accommodating
P. NJ, has met with turrible cslsm-
nifty in his ofishisl capacity. Eph
says the sale of stamps has been very
dull so Tar this month. in fsckt he
amt sold two-oent stamp since the
lst inst. and has therefore had no ac.
cashion to open the drawer where he
keeps his stamps Yesterday. how
ever he chanced TO take q look into
the drawer and his condensation and
disgust can better be described than
imagined when he discovered that all
the stamps in the drawer was all stuck
together owing TO the muggy weather
we have been having. The Got and
Let and set and special delivery
stamps was all stuck together in q
mess. In his excitement trying TO get
the stamps apart Eph tore a set
stamp 10 two. This wouldn't Of been
50 bad being as he could Of put the
two parts together again, but he went
aud lost one Of the halls aud now he
says he will sell the other half Of the
set stamp for 2 cts and stand the loss
Of the other three cts hisself. This is
q liberal offer.
LATER-BY holding the stamps
in the steam from the teakettle Eph
has succeeded in separating them and
also burning bus fingers. The stamps
amt got no glae on them at present.
bat Epb will furnish glue from a bot.
tie for his customers when they pur.
chase stamps - Bsngvilts Bs4gis.

new, may be in this form, aud may
interest those of our readers who have
never before heard it:
Mr.. Smith, a farmer, coming in
from the field one day TO dinner,

However, Mr.. Smith finally over.
ruled the boys repeated refusals and
insisted upon taking him in to dinner.
Throughout the meal the boy
seemed uneasy, hitOhed around in his

He Made One Mistake.

In Persia a wealthy man will often
haye.a friend of whose society he is
fond living in the house with him.
Abdullah was such friend to Ally
Khan, very wealthy and influential
merchant of Ispahan, who was delight
ed with his charm and cleverness and
go pleased with his services that ne
thought he would make very good
son-in.law and suggested him as such
to his beautiful daughter. She was
very overbearing and bad tempered |;
but, thinking that Abdullah was rather
good looking, she agreed to it. They
were married. Soon his friends came
to congratulate him, among them
Housseyn, who was known to have a
very overbearing and bad tempered
wife. He said. 81 congratulate you
on your marriage" and then he asked
the bridegroom, Are you really hap
py with woman who is known to
have such bad temper ?" 81 assure
you that she is perfectly charming and
that am perfectly happy MAY
l ask how you manage it2"
Certainly" answered Abdullah.
"On the night of the marriage I went
into her apartments in full uniform
with my sword on. She did not take
any notice of me, but put on super
cilious air and made a parade of strok-
ing her cat. l quietly picked up her
cat and cut off his head with my sword,
took the head in one hand, the body
in the other and threw them out OF
the window. My wife was amazed,
but did not show it. After few Sec
onds she broke into a smile and has
been a most submissive and charming
wife ever since.
Housseyn went straight home and
put on his uniform and went into the
harem. The domestic pet came to
greet him. He seized it with the
hand that was accustomed to caress it,
drew his sword and with a single blow
decapitated it. At the same moment
he received blow in the face deliv-
cred by his shrewish wife, and before
he recovered from his sstonishment a
second and third. II can see to
whom you have been talking" the
lady hissed, "but you are too late.
1t was on the first day that you ought
to have done this

DIPLOMAT TALKS
ABOUT COLLINS
Des PlanCheS Calls on Root
Regarding Glen Echo
Arrest.

Mayor Garrett and Marshal Collins,
the two enthusiastic, strenuous ruling
spirits of Glen Echo. the little Conduit
road village which they have made IA
nous. have had the honor of being dis
cussed in an international council at
the State Department
Baron Mayor des Planches a member
OF one of the Oldest noble houses OF
Italy, dean of the Diplomatic Corps,
and personal representative of the King
OF Italy near the Government of the
United States. called on Secretary Of
State Root and discussed with him the
Glen Echo incident. He referred to the
encounter the ambassador and his
party, - including the Duke of the
Abruzz. cousin to the King and rear
admiral commanding the Italian squad
ron in Hampton Roads, had Sunday
afternoon with the Glen Echo authori-
ties.
The ambassador made no formal COM
plant. but said none of the three ma
chimes conveying his party was exceed
ing the speed limit of twelve miles per
hour They were not stopped until
after they had passed the village Of
Glen Echo, he stated, and he was sub
jected to insulting treatment and re-
marks by the town official. At least,
the ambassador considered the hold-up
insulting TO him and his King, and he
was also indignant at the manner in
which the incident mas been treated.
In the meantime, Governor Warfield
continues TO maintain silence as to who
has jurisdiction over the road. Mayor
Garrett has asked the War Department
about it, and the department says he
has; the State Department has asked
Governor Warfield about il. and he says
that the state hasn't. The decision or
the court at Rockville. as well as the
War Department, is. against Governor
Warfield, however, and this Government
takes the stand that the control of the
road Is up 10 the State OF Maryland.
