HAD TO BE MORE EXPLICIT.
"Dear Grandpa" Conveyed Little to
Post Office Officials.

A member OF the Yale basketball
team which played here night or
two ago received check--a present In
three figures-from his grandfather
who lives In New Jersey town. The
check as q matter of fact, was fake
prepared by William L. Lush. the
Yale coach. formerly left fielder on
the Cleveland baseball team, who was
here with the team. But fake or no
fake the recipient of the check got
mighty excited.
He raced right across the Hollenden
lobby to the telegraph desk. the min
ute he saw the size Of the check, and
wrote out q telegram as follows:
Dear Grandpa, -, New Jersey.
Thanks very much for check. This Is
a receipt. Your grandson" He wrote
It just that way.
Then he hustled into the writing
room to thank grandpa more fully by
letter.
While he was preparing the letter q
.bellboy brought him back his tele
gram. along with the 80 cents-he
had paid to send it--30 In pennies
and this was written across the mes
sage: Cant find anybody named
dear grandpa" Then the Yale boy
came .o-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

LAUGHTER NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
Evidences OF Merrlment Sometimes by
No Means Satisfying.

"Of course, you have heard" said
the man with sensitive ear, "a laugh
that Jared. l don't mean," he con-
tinued, $50 much laugh at an mop
perfume time-I imagine We have all
heard such laughs-as laugh the
quality of which is unpleasant. There
is something contagious In laughter
Of the right kind. even though you
may be the object Of 1t. II bubbles
from the we'll Of good humor; there is
no hidden thought. or arriere pensee,
as the French say, behind it. 1t is the
essence Of frankness; 1t is spontane-
GUS and wholesouled, and 1t cleanses
the system Of the laughter, and, too,
Of the nearer. like spiritual bath.
But there are other kinds of laugh
ter. The sneering laugh Is perhaps
the most familiar Then there is a
quiet laugh-a sibilant secretive sort
Of laugh that is quite as certain to
mean mischief Another laugh, dis
agreeable In its nature, is the high
pitched, nervous cachination that
comes either from embarrassment or
Is q mere vocal habit. The worst
laugh of all, however. to my mind, is
that miFthless sound provoked by the
distress or embarrassment OF others
and it rasps, naturally, most Of all
the object calling it forth. A person
laughed at and hurt never forgets the
! experience"

More Than He Wanted.

Sometimes ladies thank me when
I give up my seat to them" the young
man said, land sometimes they do
not. and then occasionally something
unusual happens. This morning when
gave up my seat to lady she
thanked me effusively.
Thank you very much she said /;
very acceptable, assure YOU This
speech attracted the attention OF all
around, and really think would
prefer not to be thanked at all father
than to be thanked so generously.
IF 1t would be polite for me to In
dicate just how I'd like to be thanked
for giving up my seat / should say
that Just a little smile with a slight
inclination of the head, would be the
acknowledgment that would please me
best Of ALL"

GIGANTIC IN SIZE AND WEIGHT
Bloqest Man That Ever Lived Claim "a
by North Carolina.

I'll bet none of you folks know that
the largest man that ever lived was
born and raised in North Carolina."
said Tar Heel. His existence and
dimensions are vouched for In the
American encyclopedia.
His name was Miles Darden. He
was seven feet six inches high, and In
1s45 weighed 81 pounds. He was
born In North Carolina in 1898 and
died In Tennessee January 20, 1857.
Until 1853 he was able to go about
his work In an active manner, but his
weight increased so fast that after
that year when he wanted to move
about he had to be hauled in two
horse wagon. In 1889 1t is chronicled
that his coat was buttoned around
three men, each weighing more than
200 pounds, who walked together in 1t
down the streets In Lexington, N. G.
At his death he Is said to have
weighed not less than 1000 pounds.
His coffin was feet long, 35 inches
deep, 80 inches across the breast, Is
across the head and IA across the
feet. These measurements were
taken at the time and are matters Of
historical record"

WHY BE GRABBED ABOUT AeEG
One Instance, at Least, In Which II
Brought No Good.

At the dinner that the Chicago
Press club gave in Edward Payson
Weston's honor, the veteran pedes-
trian said of old age:
Age is no crime. but you would
think so from the way some people
try to conceal It. We can give the lie
to age by being gay, vigorous, bouyant.
and 1t is foolish of us to resent our
burden Of years in any other manner.
The aged Ben Davies of st. Joseph
resented his years in foolish, crusty,
surly way.
Hello, old man Davies! an elder
ly st. Joseph lawyer said to him one
morning.
"'Old!' Davies snarled' Old, hey?
Well, how about YOURSELF I'm no old
or than you are. What's your earliest
recollection?
THE lawyer grinned at old man
Davies and replied
well, let me see. Yes, think
that's 1t. My earliest recollection Is
hearing folks say: There goes old
man Davies
