how frog got the laugh on fisherman,

Crump on a little bass stream near Ocean

LOST HIS NERVE SoMEWAY
Melancholy Plight of Denver Man
Too Anxious to
Please.

A quiet bashful sort of young fellow
was making a call on a Capitol Hill girl
one evening not so very long ago, when
her father came into the parlor with his
watch in his hand. 1T was about $3.50
O'Clock. At the moment the young man
was standing on chair, strengthening a
picture over the piano, The girl had asked
him to fix it. AS he turned the old gem
tlenlan, a gruff, stout fellow, said;
Young man, do you know what time
it is?"
The bashful youth got Off his chair nerv-
ously.
Eyes sir" he replied. Il was just go
ing"
He went into the hall without any de-
lay and took his hat and coat. The girls
father followed him. AS the caller reached
for the doorknob the old gentleman again
asked him II he knew what time it was.
Yes, sir" was the youths reply. Good
night"
And he left without waiting to put his
coat on
After the door had closed the old gentle
man turned to the girl,
What's the matter with that fellow"
he asked. MY watch ran down this after
noon and l wanted him to tell me the
time, so that could set it."-Denver Post.

age, seemed to be about active as any
OF his four younger associates. Indeed, as
l watched him at his labors, it appeared to
me that he worked better than they, be-
longing, perhaps, to a generation of labor
that instead of doing little as 1t could
for as much as it could get, believed in the
principle of giving every man his due, even
contractor. After he had set several
dozen bricks in the wall, he turned from
his work and gazed off at the sun for a
moment and then famed himself with his
trowel.
