their names show this, as Practical

Outdoor Life for Doos,

may not do for the small, feeble and
insignificant pet or lap dogs, but they
are so useless that they come under a

"Never Let II Occur AGAIN."


A. young Chicago matron was much
annoyed one morning at the nominate.
REALIZATION Of her milkman in time to
furnish the cream for breakfast. When
ne finally did appear about ten
O'Clock, she took it upon herself to
deliver the deserved lecture, for had
not the young husband shown dis.
pleasure at drinking coffee sans
cream and did not that fact alone
brand the milkman too great a culpri,
to be reproved merely by a maid?
The young wife is quite deaf, and
with conflicting sounds of traffic in
the street and her baby daughters
crying within, she could not hear the
defense of the sinful purveyor of pure
milk, but she thought he looked peni-
tent, even sad. and so ended her stern
TRADE with a magnanimous:
well, see that you never let it oc.
cur again"
After he had left she said to the
cook:
What did he say, Mary?"
"He said his horse dropped dead,
num-" answered Mary.
And she had wisely admonished him
never to let it occur again.

Took Advantage Of Cars Hobby.

Peter the Great particularly delight
ed in drawing teeth, and he strictly
snjoined his servants to send for him
when anything of that sort was to be
done. One day his favorite valet de
chambre seemed very melancholy;
The car asked him what was the mat
ter. "Oh, your majesty" said the man,
my wife is suffering the greatest
agony from toothache, and she OBJ
stinately refuses to have the tooth
taken out" "If that Is ALL" said Peter,
we will soon cure it; take me to her
ut once" When they arrived, the wom-
an declared that she was not suffering
Mt all; there was nothing the matter
with her. THAT is the way she talks,
your majesty" said the valet; she is
suffering tortures." Hold her head
and hands," said the car; II will
have it out in moment" And he in
stantly pulled out the indicated tooth
with great dexterity, amid profuse
thanks from the husband. What was

later that his valet had used him as an
