In Washington a few days ago
a man got $4,000 from a friend
by the simple expedient of hyP-
notism. Unquestionab'y the good
old slungshot and sandhag have
gone out of style.
A 5-year-old boy who was al
lowed to stay away from home
overnight was obliged to wear a
girl cousins nightgown. The next
morning he said with tears:
Mamma, before I'liwear a girls
nightie again I'll sleep raw"
"She is very liberal in her chari-
ties" said one woman. "Yes.
answered the other, liberal. but
not always practical. For in
stance, she wanted to send alarm
clocks to Africa to aid sufferers
from the sleeping sickness"
Is standpat democrat any bet
ter than a standpat republican?
No; not whit. They are all in
the same boat. There is no use
to split hairs between tweedledum
and tweedledee. A plutocrat is
plutocrat, no matter what kind
of a label he may have pasted on
his hide.
1--WE tire, in time, OF all things"
SAID Henry F. Dixey at the Lambs
in New York. IL know a Utica
farmer who got caught in barbed
wire fence. and had to stay there
for six hours. He told me after
ward that he never got SO tired of
swearing in his life"

Of new dress.
An exchange draws a moral
from the incident of a young man
