If the voters are looking for com

Just Like a Woman,

A well known judge had a habit OF
slipping his watch under his pillow
when he went to bed. One night
somehow, 1t slipped down, and as the
judge was restless it worked its way
to the foot of the bed.
After bit he awoke, and his foot
touched 1t. 1t felt very cold. and be
was scared and jumped from his bed
and shouted: MY gracious, Maria
There's toad or something under the
covers! l touched it with my FOOT"
His wife gave a loud scream and
was on the floor in moment
Nov, don't go waking the neighbors
up" said the judge. You get broom
or something, and We'll fix it quick"
The broom was given him.
"Now turn down the covers slowly
while l bang it. Put q bucket of wa
ter alongside the bed, so as we can
shove it in and drown It,"
Maria fixed the bucket and removed
the covers. After three or four good
bangs they pushed it in the bucket,
and then they took it to the light to
investigate.
When the judge saw it was his
watch he said: II might have known.
1t is just like you women to go
screeching and fussing about nothing.
It's utterly ruined now" - London
Mail.

Which Are You?

In this world there are two kinds
Of men-those who look upon the
bright side Of things and those who
walk In the shadow and see nothing
but discouragement ahead.
The cheerful man when he sees work
accumulate attacks 1t heartily and soon
clears it away, regarding his work as
fun. The other looks and looks his
face growing longer each minute, and
then says to himself: How much
work do they expect me to do on my
pay? l can't possibly get through all
this today"
Then presently when he settles down
to work he finds that the cheerful man
has nearly finished and envies him
his light job.
He never thinks that the optimist
gets through by working steadily,
without lettering to growl at what he
has to do. The thought that be might
work too hard never occurs to the
cheerful man.
Again, the discontinued one imagines
that his employer does not notice his
merits or the reverse and loses inter
est in his work. This is wrong, for
every employer knows when a young
fellow is doing his duty well. He may
not have time to give praise personal
ly, but he knows just the same.
