THING WAS NEW TO HER.
Shoppers Amusing Mistake in Nature
of Article Purchased.

Shoppers in the toilet goods end OF
a Market street department store were
amused recently at the mistaken idea
of an elderly woman customer, very
evidently far removed from the seats
of fashion in her everyday life. APP
preaching a counter on which guam
THY of puffs, rats, extra curls and the
like were carefully arrayed, the woman
picked up a new tangled rat, long and
thin, evidently intended to reach all
around milady's head, reinforcing her
tresses both back and front. Eying
carefully the long fur-like object in
her hand, the customer Warlly in
quired the price. Upon being told she
handled it some more and then aston
ished the salesgirl by asking, in turn,
if it would wear well, if it would stand
the cold and if it would keep off the
cold. All of these questions are very
unusual in the case of rats, although
all might have bearing upon the sub
ject. Accordingly, the salesgirl won
deringly gave an affirmative answer to
each of her customers questions. FL
nalIy the purchase was cOncluueu anu
the trifing sum required having been
paid in, the shopper settled herself to
await her purchase. Finally it came,
and to the surprise of the girls behind
the counter and the shoppers in front
the elderly woman whipped the paper
from off the purchase and swung the
rat around her neck in most giddy
fashion and stalked off up the aisle,
saying, 81 reckon l might as we'll wear
my boa, it's so cold. philadelphia

An Acceptable Clock.


A well known professor sometimes
became so much interested in his lee
ture that when the noon bell rang he
kept the class five or ten minutes over
the hour. Certain restless spirits
among the students thought they would
give him a gentle hint, so they bought
an alarm clock, set it to go off precise
~ at noon and placed it on the profess
or's desk when they came in to the
next lecture. They knew that he was
q little absentminded and expected
that he would not notice It. AS the
hoon hour struck the alarm went of
with a crash, and those Of the class
not In the secret started and took In
the joke at once. There was a round
OF applause. The professor waited un-
til the alarm and the applause were
over and then said: Young gentle
men, thank you for this little gift.

alarm clock is something my wife has
needed for our servant for some time.
It Is very kind remembrance on your
part" The professor then went on to
finish a demonstration interrupted by
the alarm.-London Tit-Bits.

THOUGHT HIS FAMILY LUCKY.
Had Escaped Visit of Stork Through
Temporary Absence.

"a good story is worth it's price in
any mans country" said Edward
Burke, Cincinnati, in the Hotel Blatz,
"and one of the latest tales of the road
will bear repeating.
"a woman who owned pretty lit
tie fat in Chicago went to live with
a relative, taking with her a six-year-
old son. She turned the fiat over to
another woman who was to occupy it
during her absence. 1t happened that
not long after that the new occupant
presented her proud husband with a
bouncing baby girl.
"In the natural course of events, the
first woman went to see her friend
and took her little son along. The lad
was much interested in the new arriv-
al and demanded to know just how it
had reached the place.
Why, we found it right out here,
said the nurse, showing the boy into
the hall.
"'Show me just where he de-
manded, and they pointed out to him
the exact spot on the carpet where the
stork had deposited his offering.
"The youngster did not say any
thing more until they had left the
place, when he turned toward his
mother and whispered:
Mother, didn't we have a narrow

Names In Alaska.

Life in Alaska is uncouth in parts,
but it has it's refnements. In Valdes
there lived a man named Jake, who
kept a boarding house for dogs. When
the prospectors returned from their
sled trips they would place their teams
g. his charge until ready to start out
again. As he fed his guests on gar
bage gathered by house to house can
vass. he was known by every one as
''Slop Jake"
Once upon time he fell i'll, 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 staff
on so insignificant a detail. So the
news was printed thus:
'Our we'll known fellow citizen, S.
Jake, is confined to his house with a
severe cold. 1t is hoped he will be out
on."-New York Times.

He Told the LAWYER.

Lawyer S. is well known for his IN
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 making a witness de
scribe a barn which figured in his last
case.
''How long had the barn been
built?''
ooh. l don't know-about a year
mebby, about nine months p'r'aps."
''But just how long? Tell the jury
how long it had been built"
well, l don't know exactly-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 is? Come, now, tell us how
old your own house is, if 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 S. didn't
call him back.-London Globe.

FooIinq the Beans.

A Yankee of the quaint old time type
was preparing to bestow q coat of
whitewash on his henhouse one spring
long ago. He had completed the mix
ing of the whitewash, writer in the
Manchester Union says, and, looking
round for something on which to try
1t, picked up a bean pole and ran the
brush over it. Another local character,
who was driving by, stopped his horse
and called out: Hello! What We white
washing your bean poles for?"
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 YEP"
'Mebbe not, but whitening of 'em IL

Better Than Courts.

Boston women established the first
playground in 1902, with one play
ground. Last year there were eight
and nearly $4,000 was expended, or
about one dollar for each child, very
cheap price for the amount of good
obtained. The Playground league is
the name of society of the play
ground boys themselves, who wear
buttons and discipline all bad boys,
thus making the government easy
enough for those in charge. Not the
least important result Of the play
grounds in that city is said to be that
