The Champion Ahsent,ninded Man.

A very sbsentminded professional
man, with offices IN Chestnut street
building. came downtown the other
day and discovered that he had left his
keys at home. The superintendent or
the building let the absentminded man
into his office. but he was still as bad
off as ever. He could not get into his
desk or at his safe. He pondered lit
tie while over his dilemma; then he
decided 10 return home for the keys.
why not send u messenger boy after
the keys?" was the thought that struck
him, but that was Immediately put out
of the question by another thought 10
the effect that the boy would not be
able to get In the house In case the
absentminded mans wife had left
home. That's right; i5nust go my
self" decided the troubled man. and
home he went, arriving at the very
door OF his house before ii dawned
upon him that he without his keys was
as bad off as messenger boy. and the
, poor mans wife had gone out all right
"Oh, hang it anyway" said the absent
minded man, II ought TO have tele-
phoned her to wait for me! Why
didn't do that? Well, will go right
back TO the office and phone" And be
did. He phoned and phOned for some
time before he could understand why
his wife did not answer; then he gave
up work for the day.-Philadelphia

not ugly concessions to utility, but o

The billiard table Is always green.

Billiards is merely a corruption of the
good old English game of bowls. which
was played on a beautifully green
lawn. On rainy and winter days, how

enjoy his bowls. so some clever Johnny

wn., Britain Fouoht For an Ear.

Perhaps the most extraordinary ex-
ample OF Britain going to war for mo
reason at all" occurred in the reign or
George II. One Robert jenkins. an
English merchant-captain, trading from
Jamaica, arriving in England in 1888,
reported that the sloop had been board
ed by the Spanish coast guards ana
that. though no proof Of smuggling had
been found. he had been tortured and
his ear torn off. All England few into
an uproar Jenkins ear" divided par
ties and shook Walpole's ministry IL
self. The house Of commons sent FOR
jenkins, and he was told to bring his
ear with him. The incident grew into
4 crisis. though Walpole did his best
TO persuade people to keep their heads.
but the popular indignation was so
great that the next year the govern
ment was compelled to declare war
against Spain.-Pearsons.

Wanted His Dues.

A reservation Indian was diSconso
late over the breaking Of his ak handle
He laid his misfortune before the
farmer" OF the reservation. who.
through pity. took Il new handle from
his private stock and adjusted 1t to the
ax. The farmer then noticed that the
ak was shockingly dull. So, motloning
the owner to turn the grlndstone. he
expended q half hours time In sharp
enlng the blade. When the rehabili'
tated ax was given to the Indian he
was childishly gleeful, but still fingered
about. indicating by his actions that
some feature Of the transaction had not
been adjusted.
The farmer was little annoyed and
called to an Interpreter. ASK the old
fellow what he wants now," he di'
rected.
After IN exchange Of grunts and ges-
lures the Interpreter announced, HE
wants % cents"
"Twcnty.fve cents! What fOrT
