"Oh, You Kid!'' Dirty Breaks Up Church

sermon and 10 to IL of the laymen
had given their testimony. From the
sober looks of several young men and
women on the back benches it looked
as If converts were soon to be gath
cred in, when the spell and spirit of
the meeting were broken Ly the
words of the frivolous song.
The pastor had closed his exordium
and had announced the solo. The
young woman lifted her voice in song.
She put so much fervor into the music
itself that she followed the words
blindly and sang the anthem exactly
as 1t had been revised with pencil BY
a practical joker.

in swelling note.
Il love my God" the singer repeat
ed, putting on the crescendo for a
climax. Il love my God. but, oh, you

The choir and congregation went

before order could be restored the
shocked and scandalized pastor dis

Telephone Girl Scores Her Own Sex

THE most nonsensical accusation
that women are forever making
against exchange girls is that the

is perfectly impossible. for the very
simple reason that a girl working at

How II Started.

Now, when Jacob had given the
"savory kid soup" to Isaac, and the
latter, pleased with the gift, had given
to his son the much-sought-after pater-
nal blessing, 10. Esau stuck his head
through the tent flap and did pour
molten words upon the trick which
had scabbed him of his birthright.
And after some hours, when his an
ger was well-nigh spent, he shot the
topic sentence straight:
why did you do it,"
Then did Isaac call him near and
look into his face. Also did Isaac
smack his lips and point to the re-
mains of the repast and say:
Il love my Esau. but oh, you kid"
Whereupon Noah, who happened to
be strolling by, carefully tucked the
Jest into oiled paper and did put it
into the ark. whence, with much odor
and more odium. it was brought forth
by humorists some 1000 years later.

Valuables Are Kept In These Recep.

A woman walked up to the counter
of fashionable hotel and asked for a
package of valuables which was in the
safe.
IF had not wanted one particular
thing suppose should have left the
package where 1t was for another
three years." she said to the clerk.
YES" said the clerk in answer to a
question after the woman left. that
packet had really been in our safe for
three years. Why. we have all sorts
of valuable papers, jewelry and even
money that are entrusted to our keep
ing for years at a time. People seem
to prefer hotel safe to safety de-
post vault. One reason, perhaps, is
that it costs nothing. Another is that
the standard of hotel clerks has i'm
proved.
1T is astonishing the amount Of
jewelry that people keep in hotel
safes. OF course, the owners have
originally stopped in the hotel, but
they go away, leaving their valuables,
and | have known such persons to be
gone as much as two years and never
make an inquiry about their property
in that time.
ITO show you how much confidence
people have in hotels and their EN-.
plOyes, l might mention that the other
day man came in here and put four
$1,000 bills in an envelope, wrote his
name on the latter and asked me to
put it in the safe. Not long ago a
man actually did the same thing with
seven $4,000 bills"
The clerks of several other hotels
talked in similar strain without any
outside suggestion.
