The Man Invasion.

The witch out for a moonlight
jaunt on her favorite broomstick,

WILLING to PAY for Hammer.

When the British square at the bat
tie of Abu Klea. in the Nubian des-
ert, was penetrated by the dervishes,
one of them attempted to spear gun
ner who was in the act of ramming
home a charge. The Briton Drained
the Sudanese, but the hammer head
split on the mans hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sent for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from expert
ence that soldiers are charged for
government property which they
break, he led off with: please, sir,
I'm very sorry l broke the hammer,
but l never thought the fellows head
could be so hard. I'll pay for the
hammer so as to hear no more of
the case"

For the Critics.

Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at AshevilIe robbed America of
a serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
You chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is. You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has a different taste. To
whose inclination, then, is he to
bend?
mo, no. Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical atti-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin
1 once saw-an urchin who, as he
stoned a frog to death, repeated Sc
verely:
I'll Farn We to be a toad"

lean city. He saw little native girl
with a small basketful of red peppers,
of which she was eating one. His IA
Their was about to say: "She thinks
she is very smart" as the son called
his attention to it. The boy spoke up

PA, would those red peppers make
you smart if you eat all of them?" His
father replied: Yes, son.

A Quick Cat.

Some years ago the proprietor of a
hotel in southern New Hampshire told
the following story: He said that
when he was boy he had occasion
to go into the garnet of his house one
morning and that the family cat fol-
lowed him up the stairs. One of the
windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet a frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
eat, jumping after it, caught it in mid
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window
