Fog or Smoke g.?

yesterday morning dawned a lille smoky
10 this neck of tho woods. The day was q
typical indian summer day so far AS The
weather was concerned. but the hazlneSs
seemed many times exaggerated.
At TWO o'clock In the afternoon one could
look nj The sun with the naked eye so dense
was the smoke or fog. Al four o'clock the
sun was entirely hidden and the zenith SEEM
ed hidden by a heavy panoply of cloud.
The phenomenon attracted m CHI attention
and much speculation as to the cause. Some
seemed 10 think that II was fog, bot the ma
jority believed 1t to have been smoke But
where could so much smoke come from?
1t is entirely possible that 1t could come
from The great + ,rest fires OF the West. When
Krakatan erupted years ago a cloud Of smoke
reaching the upper air travelled around the
globe six times, and six nj ,nths arer the ter
rib!e catastrophe The smoke made Itself ap.
pearani In The strange color of the moonlight
and sunlight.
Some suggested that we were passii z
through the TAIL OF a comet. We have a com.
ct scheduled for ihps' parts next spring, bu'

Eat All You Can, Mother!

An old man whose hair and beard were
cut in q chaste, rural design appeared IN
one Of the table d'hote restaurants the
other day. He had his wife with him.
That was more than the old lady could
say of her hearing. She was almost stone
deaf, which gave everybody a chance to
find out what splendid lungs her husband
had.
The meal was luncheon. The price
which the old man was asked after he
had ordered two meals was IS cents.
"Seventy-fve cents" he exclaimed.
"You don't mean apiece"
ayes, sir"
"Gracious!"
He thought it over q minute or two.
Then he looked at his wife as II consider
ing whether he should try to get the
dreaded news past the old lady's tym-
panum. Evidently he gave It up. But he
did what he could. When the first course
came on, he leaned over and shouted In
her ear:
"Eat all you can, motherl III tell you
why after, awhile!"-New York Sun.
