They Saved on His Salary.

Secretary Coburn and Dave Leahy
were visiting the other day, and
Leahy mentioned the ten-story sky
scraper which some farmer was
erecting in Wichita.
"Do you know, Dave" said Coburn,
without batting an eye, that until I
became secretary Of the State board
of agriculture you never heard of a
farmer having enough money to
build a skyscraper.
WELL" said Dave, when I was a
youngster, over in Illinois, I worked
on a section, and then got a promo

was the chauffeur of a truck. 7 felt
pretty big about it. Though l thought
I was getting a good pay check. J

raise me any. He always kept telling
me how poor the road was. So I just
quit. And do you know that the
next year that road built 700 miles OF
track?"-Chicago Inter Ocean.

ing account of no wan aspiring young
Italian citizen was beginning to show
the effects of an American environ
ment. The story, which was told ar
a teachers association meeting, runs
something like this:
Tony had been away from school
about a week, and when he showed
up one morning the teacher asked
him where he had been.
II ran away" said Tony.
" Ran away? What did you do that
for?" asked the teacher.
my father was going to lick me,
80 I thought I'd run away" was the
reply.
The teacher by further questioning
brought out the fact that Tony for
ttrifing dereliction had been
threatened with a beating and had
stayed away from home the best part
of a week.
"But your father has the right to
whip you," said the teacher.

4 COmDIete Combination.

William T. Stead, editor of the

story of an Irishman who applied to
one of his friends for a position as
coachman.

you to bring the carriage round at a

He was duly engaged and gave
satisfaction. One day his master came
to him telling him to look sharp and
go for a doctor, as his mistress was
i'll. Pat was gone for a long time,
and on his master grumbling at him
for his delay he said: Sure, they're
all here, sorr.'
Gail here?' said the master. What
do you mean?
Didn't you tell me to do things by

the master.

Another Way Out of 1t.

Nobody had ever had reason to &C
cuse Abel Pond of being dishonest,
but he was as sharp a nan in a bar
gain as could be found in the county.
When the building committee applied
to him for a site for the new library
he was ready to sell them a desirable
lot, but not at their price.
II couldn't feel to let it go under
$780," he said, with the mild obstin-
acy that characterized all his. deal
ings with his fellow men. "It would
not be right"
"You ought to be willing to contri-
butte something for such an object"
said the chairman of the committee.
eff it's worth six hundred, why not
let US have it for five hundred and
call it you've given. the other hun
dred?"
"M'm-no, I couldn't do that" said
Mr.. Pond, stroking his chin, "but I
tell you what I will do. You give
me seven hundred for it, and I'll
make out a check for a hundred and
hand it over to you, SOS you can head

round sum and kind of wake up folks

Extensive Economy.

The late Senator Plat, discussing
one day in Washington an economy
he had no faith in, said:
"Such an economy reminds me of
old Smith and his key Of beer.
Smith and his wife used to drink
a quart of beer every night before
retiring. This indulgence cost them
10 cents. But Smith came home one
day in great excitement and said:
"'Here's a man with a barrel Ct
beer. 1t will only cost US + cents 4
quart this way. An economy Of 6
cents, Huldah."
THAT evening the Smiths sampled
the new barrel and they found it

Slang Tab0Oed.

The Philadelphia Telegraph says:
Slang is tabooed in the home of a
West Philadelphia family, principally
because there is a bright little girl
who displays a persistent aptitude in
retaining expressive but uncultured
phrases.
The other evening at dinner the
mother, father and daughter drifted
into the v~ernacular, and a fresh start
was necessary. The little girl start
ed it. I'm not stuck on this bread"
she remarked.

Senator Frye is an enthusiastic

picnic at a lake a few miles distant.
The head of the family noticing that
his brother, who had charge of the
vehicles, had placed a supply of fish

They're for Frye" was the reply.
"But, man alive! There are no

The grand jury presented an ex-
haustive report to the present term
of the court which contains many
valuable suggestions and which
should be read by every citizen of the
county. We are pleased to know
that the roads are in such good con-
dition.
The point to which we desire to d.
rect particular attention is in urg-
ing the people to take more pride in
the condition of the roads and not to
depend so much upon the changing.
We do not know of any statute re-
curing the changing to do perma-
nent work, but the suggestion is a
good one, and the changing should
be put on permanent work and kept
there. 49,.
The people could keep their roads
in very much better condition by the
S of the King log drag, which is
very inexpensive and it's Isl would
take very little time. We understand,
however, that there are several OF
these drags in different sections OF
the county which are not now used on
the roads.
