Deceivina the Widow.
MONDAY EVENING. JAN. 10. 1e10.


A healthy looking woman dressed IN
deep mourning stepped on to the plat
form scales and requested the grocer's
clerk to ascertain her weight. He
looked and said, "One hundred and
forty pounds"
"You made q mistake Of twelve
pounds in that woman's weight" said
another man who had also watched
the scales. "She weighed 152 pounds
instead Of 140."
II know that" said the clerk, but
she never would have forgiven me II !
had told her so. That woman's hus-
band died about six weeks ago. She
has gained seven pounds in that time,
but to keep her in good humor with
herself / had to make her think she
had lost five. I don't know why 1t Is,
but anybody who has suffered bereaVe-
ment seems to consider 1t disgrace to
take on flesh. That woman has been
weighed three times since her husband
died. She would be shocked If she
knew she had gained right along. For
tunately she Is too nearsighted to read
the scales herself. so it is easy to
make her think she Is wasting away"

Doc Law In Constantinople.

"When one Of the street dogs Of Con-
stantinople gets too old to be Oh use
to the band the captain dog decides
that he is to die" says Albert BigeloW
Paine in Harper's Weekly. "a day
comes when the captain issues an edict
that he is no longer to have FOOD.
From that day until his death not
morsel passes his lips. With longing
ewes he looks at the others eating, but
he makes no attempt to join them.
Now and again bit Of something falls
his way. The temptation Is too strong
he reaches toward the morsel. Inc
captain, who overlooks nothing, gives
O low growl The dying creature
shrinks back without murmur. be
knows the law. Perhaps he. too, was
once q captain. The minister's wife
told me that she had tried to feed one
Of those dying dogs, but that even
when food was placed in front OF him
he would only look pleadingly at the
CAPTAIN and refuse to touch It,"

LAUGHTER Saved the Ship.

Humor has been credited with the
saving Of many things, but perhaps
never before has ship been saved BE-
its judicious application. In great
storm many years ago ships crew
were all at prayers when boy burst
into q At of violent laughter. Being
reproved for his Ill timed mlrth and
asked the reason for 1t. he said, why,
I was laughing to think what hiss
ing the boa.swaln's red nose will make
when it comes in contact with the wa
ter" This ludlcrous remark set the
crew laughing inspired them with new
spirits, and by great eSerion they
brought the vessel safely into port

Law and the Queen.

The quaintness Of many provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status Of the queen Of England.
So far as her majesty's private busi-
ness is concerned, she is not regarded
by the laws and customs Of England
as a married woman at all. She is the
only woman In Great Britain who does
not come within the scope Of the mar
ried womans property act. The Idea
in all this is that affairs OF state con-
sumo all the time Of the king, and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts In
her husbands name he would rot be
responsible for them. as any other
husband in the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt bur
the queen can be. Should tho king die
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again, in case she
wished to, without the license OF the
kings successor.-New York Tribune.

How They Get 'Em.

The sad looking man climbed into
the bootblack's chair to have his shoes
shined.
AND is your father bootblack,
too?" he asked, by way Of making con-
versation.
"No, SIR" replied the lad. "My ia
Their is farmer"
"Ah, q farmer cried the sad look
ing man as q spasm almost akin to JOY
spread over his features. AS he reach
ed into his pocket for notebook anu
pencil he began to humble sort OF
sibbersh. 1t sounded like this:
Farmer, hey? Farmer-hay. Son.
bootblack. Son shines. All! l have
1t. Your father evidently believes in
making hay while the son shines"
Perhaps it is needless to explain that
instead of being mild lunatic the
sad looking man was one Of those pro-
fessional humorists who write funny
pieces for the papers.-Philadelphia

Two Narrow Escapes.

An rishman, seeing a vessel very
heavily laden and scarcely above the
waters edge. exclaimed, "Ur my
sowl, if the river was but little high
er the ship would 60 to the bottom!
"Sce there!' exclaimed the returned
Irish soldier to the gaping crowd as he
exhibited with some pride his tall hat
with a bullet hole in it. Look at that
hole, will ye! Ye see. if it had been
low crowned hat should have been
killed outright"

Arsenic,

Arsenic Is mined in Japan, Italy,
Portugal, Spain, Germany, England
and, within a limited area, in the
United States. Its uses are many. AS
poison it hns been known from very
early times. The peasant women OF
Austria consume large quantities OF 1t,
having faith In its virtues as q beauti-
fer, and the men of the same region
are addicted to its use in the mistaken
belief that 1t increases their bodily
strength and endurance.
