Was Some Mud.

Of all the yarns that ever came
down the line regarding deep mud
the following should be entitled to
the blue ribbon. 1t happened in
the place where mud originated: A
man was walking along the roadside
one summer day and noticed a fair
ly good looking hat out in the road,
Reaching out with his cane, he gave
it a cut and was startled to hear a
voice exclaim: "Here! What the
deuce are you doing?"
Then he made the astonishing
discovery that the owner of the
headpiece was under the hat up to
his ears in mud.
"Great heavensp exclaimed the
man who had hit the hat. as that
mud as deep as that?"
"Deepw cried the victim. "Why

More Than She Could Fear.

Marion was q little American Ciri
of six years. For three months her
mother and aunt had dragged her
through the museums and art gal
leries of Europe.
She was made to look at the slip
pers of Marie Antoinette, the
prayer book of Catherine de- Medi-
CT, hats of Napoleon and endless
numbers of undressing Madon-
mas. These, her mother told her
constantly, she must remember, for
when she grew up she would realize
how famous they were.
At last Marion rebelled. She re-
fused to go to a world famed mu-
scum. After much persuasion she
yielded upon one condition.
'Tll 60 any place you like" she
said, ''if you'll promise never again
to make me look at anything IA
