A Pound Of Meat.

Didn't | tell We to feed that
cat pound of meat every day
until We had her fat?" demanded
an Irish shopkeeper. nodding to
ward sickly emaciated cat that
was Sinking through the store,
according to Everybody's.
''Ye did that" replied his as
sistant, AN I've just been after
feedin' her a pound of meat this
very minute.
The poor cat was lifted into the
scales. They balanced at exactly
one pound.
'Therem exclaimed the assist
ant, triumphantly. Didn't |
tell We she'd had her pound of
meat?"
That's right" admitted the
boss, scratching his head.
That's yer pound of meat.
But" suddenly looking up,
where the divvil is the cat?"

In Doubt About the Head.

Patrick Murphy while passing
down fremont Street was hit on
the head by a brick which fell
from a building in process of
construction.
One of the first things he did
after being taken home and put
to bed was to send for lawyer.
A few days later he received
word to call as his lawyer had
settled the case.
He called and received five
crisp new 500 bills.
How much did you get?" he
asked.
Two thousand dollars an
swered the lawyer.
Two thousand, and you give
me $500? Say, who got hit by
that brick, you or me?'-Boston

Disappointed.

AT a dinner of a legal associ-
alton held in Washington not
long ago one of the speakers
told of a farmers son in Illinois
who conceived a desire to shine
as a legal light. Accordingly he
went up to Springfield, where he
accepted employment at a small
sum from a fairly well known
attorney.
At the end of three days
study he returned to the farm.
We'll, Bill, how'd We like the
law" asked his father.

to be-" responded Bill gloomily.

SOMEWHAT AMUSING
0utwitted the Landlord.
-HHHHH uHHA


When recently leasing a house
in a fashionable suburb of Phila
delphia the lessee failed to ex-
anime closely the terms of the
lease. After a time his landlord
called and reminded him that he
was bound to do all the outside
painting at certain intervals. The
tenant protested in vain; so he
engaged painters, and ordered
them to paint the whole front of
the house red, white and blue
in stripes.
When it was finished the
neighborhood rose up in arms,
and the landlord was frantic.
The tenant politely explained
that there was nothing in the
lease about the color, so he in
tended to finish the job by paint
ing the back of the house green
with large yellow spots. The
landlord saw that he had met
with his match and within few
days the tenant had new lease,
in which the landlord undertook
to do all the outside painting.

Live by the day is sugges-
ton from one of these observing
philosophers of common life who
put so many kernels of truth in
their homely shrewd sayings.
Of course the phrase is not one
of half meaning. On the con-
trary to live by the day" means
living in the fullest sense of
the word, not carelessly indif-
ference to opportunity, to duty,
and to trouble when it comes: it
does not mean to have no thought
for the future. The value of the
suggestion lies in this, that every
man, every woman, no matter
what may be the sphere of life,
can have courage and hope and
faith for one day, can bear the
heat and toll of one day without
shrinking. The though tfu
teacher of music, for example,
who learns to think more of each |
day and less of the entire season, |
comes to think of his or her work
as succession of days, each |
with responsibilities, with vic
tories, apparent defeats, it may
be, yet with no true grounds for
absolute encouragement. Once
this idea of looking after each
day, as it comes, is ground into
the teachers philosophy of living
and working he has greater
Teaching problems
that appear formidable in the
aggregate can be solved if taken
in detail; difficulties on the bust
ness side of the profession lose
terror when attacked separately;
troublesome pupils can be
studied individually. One happy
solution a day is a victory and
for the future. -Etude.

FIVE JUDICIAL DISTRICTS WANTED.
Wise Movement on Foot to Relieve Congestion
Of Litigation in Panhandle.

At a meeting held in this city
last night by attorneys and
others in interest from those ju-
dicial districts presided over by
Judges Browning, Hendrix and
Kinder, representatives were
present from Dallam, Hartley,
Deaf Smith, Randall, Armstrong
and Potter counties. After a
general discussion it was deter
mined that a bill shall be framed
and the legislature asked to
create from the present districts
of Judges Brewing and Kinder
two additional districts, making
five in all instead of three, as at
present.
1t is contended that the work
of the districts under the pres
ent arrangement is too great,
and especially is this true with
reference to that district in
which Judge Browning presides.
1t was suggested that while the
needs of the situation require
two new districts, even one
would bring great relief. In
the event the situation narrows
itself to one new district, that
one will be created out of the
one now under the jurisdiction
of Judge Browning.
A committee of five attorneys
was appointed from Judge
Browning's district and a like
number from Judge Kinder's
district, these lawyers to meet
in this city December go for con-
sideration of the proposed bill to
be offered to the legislature. At
that time it will be determined
whether one or two new dis
5ricts will be asked for.
State Senator John w. Veale
md Representative J. R. Bow
nan were at the meeting last |
evening. They seemed heartily |
n favor of the innovation.
The Daily Panhandle heartily |
ndorses this movement, and the
legislative representatives from
his section should bend every
Energy to see that this relief is
granted. The Panhandle has be-
,ome too far advanced in popu-
alton and business to be handi-
.apped with conditions which
we're proper at one time but
which no longer are suitable to

re now.-Daily Panhandle of

A doctor came up to a patient
in an insane asylum, slapped him
on the back. and said: We'll,
old man, you're all right. You
can run along and write your
folks that you'll be back home in
two weeks as good as new"
The patient went off gravely to
write his letter. He had it
finished and sealed, but when he
was licking the stamp it slipped
through his fingers to the floor,
lighted on the back of a cock,
roach that was passing, and
stuck. The patient hadn't seen
the cockroach-what he did see
was his escaped postage stamp
zigzagging aimlessly across the
floor to the Dashboard, wavering
up over the Dashboard, and fol
lowing a crooked track up the
wall and across the ceiling. In
depressed silence he tore up the
letter that he had just written
and dropped the pieces on the
floor.
Two weeks, Hellr' he said,
Il won't be out of here in three

icktown arrived two hours later.
1t was the hottest day l have
known this summer in Missouri.
We sat out of doors, the visitors
cracking nuts and jokes until a
shower drove them in. Two
more delegates arrived during the
storm. We began to think the
evening session would have to be
held in this home if at all, but the
rain stopped in time. The church
was we'll filled and the conven-
ton began with real interest.
Thursday morning the usual pro-
gramme of a Sunday School Con-
vention was carried out. One of
the best talks was on "The Sum
day School as an Institution" by
Rev. J. M. Welker. IL was short
and to the point. One great fault
in speakers of such a convention
is the dragging out to a weary
length what might be said, with a
few we'll chosen words, in a short
time.
DR.. Jewell's address was the last
on the morning program. His
subject, "The Sunday School
Work in South East Missouri"
as he presented it, was so interest
ing we could easily have listened
for an hour, but he would not
keep the hungry men and tired
children waiting for their dinner
which was spread on the lawn.
AS we sat around the bountiful
lunch-spring seats from the wa
gon we're given to the old? folks-I
wished for a kodack and the pen
of a ready writer. l never saw
more perfect order at a picnic.
The grove of trees furnished a
back ground of surprising beauty
to one whose eyes had longed,
from the open plain, for a sight of
the green hills of the Ozark Noun
tains.
The afternoon session was all
business, the election of officers,
financial statement ETC., until Mr..
Lacey's report of the Louisville
Convention. He is a good speaker
and made one glad to be identi-
fed with so great an organization.
At 4:30 the Convention adjourn
ed to meet next year at the call of
the Executive Committee, and
the people wendell their way
home over the toughest roads it
has been my lot to see in many a
day. Tired? Yes, but it was
worth the effort.
One noticeable feature of the
gathering was the number of ba-
bies present. Their voices were
often heard and sometimes to the
annoyance of the hearers, but on
ly for a minute, as the mothers
were used to taking their children
to church and had them under
good control. If President Roose-
velt still feels any uneasiness ov-
er race suicide it would quell his
fears and do him good to visit the
country churches in Bollinger
County. S. F. r.
