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"
Then" said the caterer, I'm add ~
per cent to that estimate II you don't
mind"
But do mind. Why
Twenty per cent more for lifelong
friends" the caterer insisted. I'D be
out of pocket otherwise. A bunch OF
friends at a splurge always eat NTH
more than a bunch of passin' aequaint-
ances or strangers. Didn't you never
notice thatP he concluded as he recti-
fed the bill. You might have noticed
it from your own experience. Among
strangers you're Ill at ease, nervous;
that takes your appetite away. But
with friends you're quite at home, and
you eat like a horse. New Orleans

Taken unaWares.

1t is likely that the most embarrass-
ed man In New York could be found
last Monday in a Sixth avenue store.
He was a mild, inoffensiye looking
man. He stood leaning over the bal
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 as he look
ed down at the boy the boy looked up
at him. Instlnctlvely perceiving, with
diaboic instinct, what would be his
own youthful propensity If he occu-
pied a similar point Of vantage, the boy
struck a beseeching attitude and called
out in imploring accents:
ooh, mister; please. mister, don't spit
on mew
For a man with no intention or 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.

"The pulse is normal, Pat, but let

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 attentiyely for
sounds of pulmonary congestion.
A moment of silence.
"What will / be saytn', doctorF
finally asked the patient.
"Oh, say anything. Count. Count
one, two, three and up, that way"
murmured the physician drowsily.

An Author Who Hated Water.

Nine. d'Arolay, better known as
Miss Fanny Burney, who took such an
important place In the literature of the
eighteenth century, had an extraordi-
nary and most undesirable popularity.
She had the greatest aversion TO wash
ing and water. Sir Henry Holland
was the physician who attended the
gifted authoress during the last year
of her life, and she conhded to him
that she had not washed for fifteen
wears.

Outbrlell thought the engineer might be
dead. He, however, made bis way TO
the freroom, and the steam was shut on
