FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. IS, 1908
He Told the Lawyer.


LAWYER S. is well known for his I'M
comely habits. He cuts his hair about
four times a year and the rest OF the
time looks decidedly ragged about the
ears. He was makinHa witness de-
scribe barn which figured In his last
case.
How long had the barn been
builtT
"Oh, / don't know-about O year
mebby, about nine months p'raps.'
But just how long? Tell the jury
how long 1t had been built"
"Well, l don't know exacuy-quite
awhile"
"Now, Mr.. B., you pass for an intel
ligent farmer, and yet you can't tell
me how old this barn Is, and you
have lived on the next farm for ten
years. Can you tell me how old your
own barn Isl Come, now, tell US no"
old your own house is. II you think
you know"
Quick as lightning the old farmer
replied:
"You want to know how old my
house is, do We? Well, it's just about
as old as you be, and the roof needs
seeing TO about as bad"
In the roar that followed the witness
stepped down, and Lawyer 8. didn'
call him back.-London Globe.

FooIjno the Beans.

A Yankee Of the quaint old time type
was preparing TO bestow a coat OF
whitewash on his henhouse one spring
long ago. He had completed the mix
ing Of the whitewash, a writer in the
Manchester Union says, and, looking
round for something on which to Try
1t, picked up bean pole and ran the
brush over 1t. Another local character
who was driving by, stopped his horse
and called out: "HeIlo! What ye white
washing your bean poles forf"
Thought everybody knew that beans
grow better on birch poles" returned
the other without pausing in his work.
eye don't expect to make birch poles
that way, do ye?"
"Mebbe not, but whitening Of 'em 4
make the beans think the poles are
birch anyhow"

Names In Alaska.

Life In Alaska is uncouth In parts,
but it has its refinements. In Valdes
there lived a man named Jake, who
kept q boarding house for dogs. When
the prospectors returned from their
sled trips they would place their teams
in his charge until ready to start out
again. AS he fed his guests on gar
bage gathered by house to house can
vass, he wes known by every one as
"Slop Jake"
Once upon a time he fell Ill, and the
newspaper wished to chronicle the fact
No one. however. knew Jake's other
name, and It didn't seem worth while
to waste the time Of the editorial stan
on so insignificant detail. SO the
news was printed thus:
"Our well known fellow citizen, 5
Jake, is confined to his house with a
severe cold. 1t is hoped he will be out
soon. New York Times.

Gov. stuart's Story.

Gov. Stuart, of Pennsylvania, ap-
proaches public speaking with din.
dence. This feeling never left him.
despite his four years as mayor of
Philadelphia. However, his long and
hard gubernatorial campaign gave him
greater confidence in himself, and to.
day he makes a strong and powerful
public address. But he never attempts
even short address without first re.
ferring to the fact that he Is not an
orator, and thus prepares his audi.
ence for surprise. The other day,
introducing himself to the students at
Pennsylvania State college, he told this
story:
There was a loquacious Scottish
dominic who always had something to
say to his parishioners. 1t was rainy
Sunday. Mrs. Mcpherson found her
way through the rain to the church.
The preacher coming down the aisle,
approached the regular attendant, and
said It's wet day, Mrs. McPher.

be dry enough when you get in tho

UNCLE SAM IN ROLE OF CUPID.
Forced to Act as Matrimonial Agent In
the Philippines.

One Of the little details that fall to
the Philippine government is that of
finding husbands for the orphan girls
OF the institution, bearing the name of
the Hospicio de San Jose, and to do
this is no easy matter. Before the
Filipino will consent to 60 to the altar
he has to be shown a monetary advan.
tage-in fact, q bride without q dowry
wouldn't get q husband in thousand
years. Uncle Sans agents, after
wondering why there was such O
dearth Of bridegrooms for their pretty
charges Of the Hospicio. finally dis.
covered that In order to marry them
on dowries would have to be found.
AS the result a matrimonial brokerage
commission has been formed. Through
this, $50 Is offered to any young
Filipino Of good character who will
take one Of the orphan maids as his
life mate. but NO bargain Is closed un.
I'll after oficial cupids have thorough.
ly examined into the history of the
husband-to-be.

Untouched Morocco.

northwest shoulder of the continent,
you will see a country called Morocco.
1t almost touches Europe at the mar

strait between 1t and Spain. SO you
might think the Moors had become
quite civilized In the course of ages
through having such cultivated neigh.
bors so near. II is not SO. however.
And, strange to say, the more they see
