Taken unawares,

It is likely that the most embarrass,
ed man in New York could be found
last Monday in a Sixth avenue store.
He was mild, inoffensive looking
man. He stood leaning over the ball
cony that surrounds the first floor Of
the store, looking with interest at the
crowd below. Presently his eye alight-
ed on small boy who was being rush.
ed from counter to counter in tow Of
a very large woman. Just az be look
ed down at the boy the boy looked up
at him. Instinctively perceiving, with
diabolic instinct, what would be his
own youthful propensity if he occu-
pied similar point of vantage, the boy
struck beseeching attitude and called
out in imploring accents:
..Oh, mister; please, mister, don't spit
on me!''
For a man with no intention Of spit
ting on that particular boy or any one
else the situation was certainly aWk.
wark, and the man retired in red faced
confusion. New York Times.

Queer, but True.

"For this here splurge," said the ca
terer, 'do the guests know one another
well or are they jest passin acquaint,
ances?"
ooh, they are intimate friends, life
long friends
taThen,' said the caterer, "I'll add 20
per cent to that estimate If you don't
mind"
"But do mind. Why,
Twenty per cent more for lifelong
friends the caterer insisted. It'd be
out of pocket otherwise. A bunch Of
friends at splurge always eat a fifth
more than bunch Of passin' acquaint
ances or strangers. Didn't you nevei
notice that?" he concluded as he recti-
led the bill. You might have noticed
it from your own experience. Among
strangers you're i'll at ease, nervous;
that takes your appetite away. But
with friends you're quite at home, and
you eat like a horse. New Orleans

a DOCTOR, now eminent, was at one

gay friends. On certain morning the
physician awoke to find that he had
sadly oversight. Sleepi1y DOMINIC his

I'd his attention.
"Well, my man, what seems to be
your trouble this morning?' inquired
the doctor, concealing yawn and TAX
ing the patient by the hand to examine
his pulse.
"Faith, sor, it's all in me breathin',
doctor. / can't git me breath at all, at
an."
'.rhe pulse is normal, Pat, but let
me examine the lung action a mo-
ment," replied the doctor, kneeling be-
side the cot and laying his head on the
Irishman's chest. ''Now let me hear
you talk" he continued, closing his
eyes and listening attentively for
sounds Of pulmonary congestion.
A moment of silence.
"What will I be sayin', doctor?"
finally asked the patient.
ooh, say anything. Count. Count
one, two, three and up, that way"
murmured the physician droWsily.

opened his eyes, Pat was continuing

OLDEST MAN IN NAVY
BILL MAcABEE SAW BATTLES OF
THE WAR OF 1912.
Began Career In Uncle Sans Service
"a Years Ago and Recently cele-
brated His 1o5th Birthday
Still Healthy Old Fellow.

Philadelphia.-Older in stryice than
any man in the United States, older
in years than any veteran in the SER
vice of Uncle Sam, binding with his
W life the earliest stage of national
existence with the present, William
Macabee has just celebrated his one
hundred and fifth birthday.
The old fellow is now living at the
Naval home, in this city, and has been
there for "a years. The celebration OF
his natal day was the occasion for a
birthday party, at which he was the
guest of Admiral Miller, and many
noted officers called to pay their re-
spects.
Bills career in the navy began in
1914, so that he has been connected
with Uncle Sam for "a years.
The marvellous record Of this old
fellow will perhaps never be sur
passed in United States naval records.
At the present time he has gone
ahead of all his predecessors, and as
he is still a healthy old fellow there
is every possibility that he will be on
hand for some time yet to tell his
experiences.
This story of the old fighter is
enough to take the wind out of the
average man.
Bills favorite way of beginning the
recital is to tell how, when he was

Small Boys Idea of Spot Beyond
Reach of yankees"

Sherman's march through Georgia
to the sea has become mere history
now, and the tinge of bitterness has
faded out from those personal cpl
sides which our mothers and grand
mothers used to relate with so much
feeling. Yet the flavor of humor In
some of the stories can never be who'll
ly lost.
In our own family, they tell to this
day how an uncle of mine, then a
quaint child Of five years, solved the
problem Of the household migration to
some safe spot when the invading ar
nv was known to be marching
straight down toward the beautiful
plantation home.
