GRoUcHY IN EARNEST.

Podgers was an old man who was
just getting over an attack of rheu-
matte fever, during which his wife had
been in the habit of sitting by his bed
side to comfort him, and often shed
tears at his evident suffering. When
he was convalescent he met one of
his friends, who asked: How are you
getting on, Podgerse' ooh, badly
Don't seem to make much progress.
And it is all because of my wife"
Dear mel You surprise me, Podg-
ers She seems such a devoted
nurse" "Ah! you don't know her,
man! The doctor always said that a
damp room was the very worst thing
for me, and that woman used to sit
and cry just to make the air damp,"

or this story: A witness testified in q
certain case that person named Mary

This was objected to, and after some

appeal the higher court reversed the
verdict and ordered new trial ON the

He was, of course, very wise for

the first thing he saw to shoot at was
a bluejay sitting saucily on the top

When William Loeb, Jr., secratar,
to the President, accompanied Mr.
Roosevelt on one of the latter's West
ern hunting trips couple of years
ago, two guides conspired to have some
fun with the "tenderfoot," as they re-
garded the Presidents Secretary.
Loeb made his headquarters fourteen
miles from Roosevelts camp and the
President could be reached only bv
travelling on horseback over a killing
mountain trail.
When Loeb was making prepara-
tons for his first trip he heard the
guides planning to give for a mount

have shaken one of the pyramids from
It's foundation. But Loeb, who Is
something of a horseman, never gave
the nag a chance to trot. He loped all
the way to the Presidents camp and
all the way back again. and the guides
had to lope, too. This program was
repeated the next day and the next,
until the guides We're SO sore and lame
