TOLD AFTER DINNER
ALL KINDS OF NoNsENsIcAL
ANECDOTES GO THEN.
Jones Of 5elham" a Good Example
Of What Can Be Done in That
Respect-Ne~ Version Of
the Fatted Calf.

People like nonsense after dinner
They like anecdotes. The best Of anec-
dotes is that they need have nothing
to 90 with the subject. know a man
who keeps about half a dozen anec-
dotes always in stock. He can make
one or the other OF them fit any uar-
ticular toast heard him propose
The Army and Navy" He said that
some people took a gloomy view OF
our national defenses. For himself. he
was an Optimist- It was always best
to look al the bright side of every
thing.
That reminds me-" he said. aof
my friend Jones--Jones Of BeIham.
His motto is that there is always some
thing to be thankful for. His wife is
not Of such cheerful disposition She
is often annoyed at Jones optimism.
One day they were dining al a res
taursnt, and they had placed before
them very tough piece Of veal II

There said Mrs. Jones. now 1

anything TO be thankful for in that
piece Of veal

Just al that very moment thinking
how fortunate It was that we hap
pened TO meet it when it was young
Some time afterward 1 was at an
other dinner. IL was the dinner Of a
scientific society. This same man was
present again. and he was put I'D TO
propose the toast Of Success 10 Aerial

This is a tremendous question 10

make the best Of things, and I hone
you viii bear with me while 1 try To
make the best Of il II is such a tough
that it reminds me Of the piece
OF veal which was once placed before
my friend Jones-Jones Of BeIham.
And out came the story Of Jones Of
Belhsm again; and it was quite a lit.
So much so that he followed it up
with another.
Wherest the men of science gave
encouraging cheers and said Go on

This calf. my friends said the

calf, fOrsOoth, was a fatted calf. And

Here is another dinner story: Two .
men, who had been dining so vel that
hey could see twice as much as two
ordinary men. were rather imprudent-

very soon one Of them fell into the
water. This sObered him TO some ex-
ent, and he began TO yell out at the
Op Of his voice:
Hi hi, Help. heIpl I can't swim,
Help. I can't swim
The other man, who had gone down
n his knees on the bank and was
rying to steady himself By holding
lightly TO tufU OF grass. surveyed his
friend with a CLASSY stare.

It is well to have this building

Many, farms where sheep are kent

an excellent place for sheep if rightly

Jack Hanlon is trying to hook up
Young Loughcry with Tommy Murphy
or Bert keyes at one of the New York
clubs. but neither of the boxers named
seem to want to tackle the tough little
Manayunker.
Stanley Ketchell, the California mid
dleweight, who has been touted as a
coming heavyweight champion. has
drawn the color line and refused to
meet Sam Langford in the ring because
,Langford is a negro.
The proposition to have Jack O'Brien
box Stanley ketchell at San Francisco
is not taken very kindly on the coast,
and there is not much chance OF the
match going through. according to the
newspaper reports from that city.
Tommy Sullivan,th Lawrence, Mass.

He made n good showing at the New
York clubs. lighting Charles Hitte and
Tony Cnponi. and there has been a
