Easy.

Mrs. Carrie Nation, arrested in
Pittsburg, said that she had been ar
rested 3S times.
81 try to do good" she told report
er. In trying to do good take life
hard. Some folks, most folks, in fact,
take 1t easy-as easy as the new hired
girl wanted to take her new place.
Everything goes by clockwork
here the mistress said to this girl.
BY clockwork, mind you You get up
at six, you dine at 12, and you go to
bed at ten
"Well, if that's all, said the girl
with smile, I think | can manage
it,"

"Bill," asid the isrmer's boy in an
awed whisper, "Jim has washed his
face twice this morning"

brother. We'll, visitors must be COM
ing"
"And he has put on a new shirt and
a clean collar!"
Jumping June bugs! Why, he must
be going to picnic!"
"And his shoes are blacked and
every time you get near him you can
smell hair OIL"
Then that settles It. Bill has got .
gal. Tell ma she can soon prepare for
new daughter-in-law. Never knew
thsm thar symptoms to fail"

Confession Of Venus.

Long after the visitors hour in the
art gallery the statues engaged in
conversation.
SAY, Vene," called Neptune's
daughter, tell us the truth. How did
you lose your arms?'
You won't breathe it to any one?"
asked Venus.
you don't mean to say that wom-
an would tell secret, do you?"
well, III tell you. | was trying
to get my hands over my Merry Wild
ow' hat to attach the hat pin and my
arms snapped Off"
And the statues laughed SO hilari-
ously that Mars awoke from his nap
and grabbed his spear.

Psychology Of Dress.

Dr.. Thomas Claye Shaw OF London.
speaking on the subject of the special
psychology of women, says that there
IL a psychology In clothes. 1t is use
less to say that they dress as they do
to please other women or please men.
They dress simply because they have
to in their own way and to their own
satisfaction. The psychology OF dress
is that it appears to make you be what
you profess to be.

Curious Fishing MsthoduI

The natives living along the Pm
Lung river have an odd method Of
fishing. Two dugout boats are used,
each about 30 feet long, with two men
with long poles, one in the bow, the
other at the stern, punting the boat
along. They stretch long rope made
of bamboo and plated grass, about .
hundred yards long, and weighted
about every ten yards with big stones.
This they let down into the water, and
the fish are frightened toward the
bank. The divers then jump in three
at time, remaining down about 20
seconds. They carry gaffs about Is
inches long, with cords attached.
When they strike fish they let 60 the
gaff and the fish is hauled up into the
boat. A big fire is lighted on the river
bank for the men to warm themselves.

Fine Writing.

The art of fine writing is almost ex.
tinct, remarks correspondent who
has seen the illuminated manuscripts
at the Burlington Fine Arts club. This
was brougb l'forcibly to his mind when
he set about the task of finding some
one who could write an Illuminated
address to be presented to an eminent
person, which should reproduce the
lost art of the monkish "scriptorium"
rather than be a gorgeous specimen
Of the ticket writer's skill. He ran
his man down at last in a small shop
of Chancery lane, kept by stationer
who might have sat for the portrait
Of worthy Mr.. Snagsby in BLEAK
House. London Chronicle.

Protecting the Miners.

The American miner has been the
object at one time and another of con-
siderable sentimental sympathy, to
which he has probably paid very little
attention. The establishment of a
government experiment station for the
study of mine explosives is much
more practical kind of interest. It Is
to be hoped that the European exam
pie will be followed to the full extent
of prohibiting the use of explosives
that are proved unnecessarily danger
Gus and strictly limiting the amount
Of any explosive that can be used un.
der given onditions.-Boston Tran.

An Apt Reply.
Senator LaFollette, discussing the
currency bill, said OF a certain pas
age:
THAT needs delicate handling. It
is like the position of the young man
on his honeymoon. This young mans
honeymoon was peculiar because.
while still in mourning, he had mar.
ried his deceased wife's sister. A
friend of his, a chap he had not seen
for years, accosted him on the honey
moon in Niagara restaurant. The
friend, after being introduced to the
bride, said sympathetically:
"'But who are you in mourning for,
old man.
"'For my sister-in-law,' was the
delicate reply"

another blot upon civilization with
which Logan county will be charged
