A Tip on Botany.

William c. Whitney, Jr., who has
spent a year in Indian Territory
learning practical mining at Qua
paw, described at dinner party in
New York a Quapaw restaurant.
says the New York Tribune.
AT this restaurant one evening""
he said at his descriptions end, two
miners near me got into a botanical
argument about the pineapple, one
claiming that 1t was a fruit and the
other that it was a vegetable.
In the midst of their argument
the waiter entered in his shirt
sleeves and looked about to see what
was the cause of the loud talking.
1.-The miners decided to let the
waiter settle their argument, and ac-
cordingly one of them said
Pete, what is a pineapple? Is
II fruit or vegetable?'
"The waiter, fiicking the ash from
his cigar. smiled at the two men with
pity.
It's neither, gents, he said. It's
an extra"

Hcretlity.


A Parliamentary candidate was
being heckled. One of the questions
had reference to the religious de-
nominations to which he belonged.
WELL" he said. you have asked
me an honest question, and you shall
have straightforward answer My
grandmother was Scotswoman-a
rigid Presbyterian.
Disappointment was shown on the
faces of the audience, so the candi-
date proceeded:
my grandfather was English, and
therefore member of the Church Of
England"
Still no enthusiasm. but rather
the reserve.
my father. on the other hand,
was good Baptist" went on the
desperate candidate, who was still
unrewarded by applause. He grew
anxious, so hurriedly added: But
my dear old mother, long since dead.
was Methodist"
Instantly all faces we're radiant,
so he concluded:
And, gentlemen, follow the pre-
cepts of my dear old mother. I'm
Methodist and | don't care who
knows it!"-London Daily News.

whom. with limpid eyes, she looked
at him and said:
I'VE are so grateful for any testi-
monials from our patrons. Do you

Then, taking card, he wrote there
on the following and handed 1t TO

YOUNG RAILRoADERs WANTED.
Pennsylvania Appeals to Colleges For
More Technical Men.

Philadelphia, March 12.-Owing to
the great demand for men with tech
nical training to fill gaps caused by
promotions the Pennsylvania railroad
has sent out a plea to the presidents
of universities and colleges asking that
more students be urged to prepare for
railroad careers.
AS a result it is understood that
the heads of several institutions will
recommend special departments for
instruction in railroad work.
The demand for trained men now is
due to the improvements in and about
New York and to extensions of the
system. Engineers and operating Off
cials are needed.
