A SENSE OF HUMoR.
u 10 . Precious Git and %slps -
Tighten Lfe's Way.

I regard a sense OF humor as one Of
the most precious gifts that can be
vouchsafed to a human being. He is
not necessarily better man for hav-
Ing II. but he is a happier one. II
renders him Indifferent TO good or bad
fortune. II enables him to enjoy his
own discontinue.
Blessed with this sense he Is never
unduly elated or cast down. No one
can ruffle his temper. No abuse dis
turbs his equanimlty. Bores do not
bore him. Humbugs do not humbug
him. Solemn airs do not impose on
him. Sentimental gush does not infiu.
ence him. The follies OF the moment
have no hold on him. Titles and dec
orations are but childish baubles In
bis eyes. Prejudice does not warp
bis Judgment. He IL never In conceit
o. out Of conceit with himself lie
abhors all dogrnatlsm. The world Is a
Stage on which actors strut and fret
for his ediHcation and amusement, and
hc pursues the even current Of his
way, invulnerable, doing what Is right
and proper according to hts lights. but
uttoriy Indifferent whether what he
does nnds approval or disapproval
from othere.

Humorous Chinese Graft.

A certain Chinese taotai (magistrate,
having told his men " have two ingOts
OF gold sent to his treasury for pur-
chase, the shopmen brought ther. IN
and In answer TO the query u the tao
tai told him that H." Price was so much
In tnels, but al led This Is the or.
binary price but for your honor we
VIII knock of oue-half OF the price"
Then tie taotal said TO his underlngs:
Seeing that they are TO sell to me at
only onc-half price, Just give them
back one ingot of gold and put the
other In my treasury. and thus their
account Is settled. Goodby." SO the
underllngs OF the yamen did so. but
still the shopmen hung around walt
Ing. The taotal asked them why they
were waiting. when their account had
been already settled. Said the she.
men. "When did your honor pay your
humble servantsT' Then the magis-
trate answered with very fierce air:
"Taio nu ts-ai" Qmpertlnent slaves).
did you not say that these two gold
ingots were half price to me? Then
did not give you back one ingot and
keep the other and thus settle your ac-

Thackeray was much pestered by the
autograph hunter, says Holder In his
"Iecollections." He dislilted above all
things to write In an autograph album
and often refused those who asked him
TO do 30 sometimes rather brusquely.
On ono occasion the owner OF an al
bum young lady. was fortunate.
Thackeray took her book 10 his room
In order to look II over. Written on
page he found these lines:
Mount Blanc is tho monarch of mountains.
They crowned him long ago.
But who thsy got to put II on
Nobody seems to know.

Under these lines Mr.. Thackeray
wrote:

Pliny's Yarns.

Pliny's yarns about human anatomy
were something wonderful. He tells
OF race OF savage men whose Feet
are turned backward and OF a rncs
known as Monocoli. who have only
one leg, but are able to leap with sur
prising agility. The same people are
nlsS called the Scinpodae, because they
are In the habit OF lying on their
backs during the extreme heat and
protecting themselves from tho sun by
the shade of their feet. These people
dwell not far from the Troglodytae, to
the west Of whom again there are
tribe who are without necks and have
their eyes IN their shoulders.

EGlDU OF NINEVEH.
The Most Ancient Banking House Of
Which We Have Record.

There was kind OF public record

other documents. such as contracts
and agreements for the purchase and
sals Of property, marriage settlements.
wills, etc. Among these there were
discovered official statements as to the
history and transactions Of the emf
nent banking house of Egtdu at Nine
veh. Assyrian chronology proves that
these refer to date about 2,300 years
before the Christian era, when Abra-
ham dwelt at Ur Of the Chaldees, as Is
stated In Genesis. We may therefore
claim sor this firm the reputation OF
being the oldest bank In the world ut

ID. B. Brown. the original farmer
of West Holbrook. was circulating
about the county seat metropolis
last Wednesday. He claims to have
the finest field Of wheat that was
ever propogated in Otero county,
and says it will average between
forty and sixty bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Brown says that he has heard
about the green bug" destroying
all the wheat fields in the Arkansas
Valley. but don't take any stock in
this latest agricultural fairy tale.
He says the only thing that is wor-
rying him is a black fly. but he don't I
think it will do any damage. Mr..
