service.
Representative Currier, as chairn
of the committee of the whole Ho1

of the rule forbidding Legislation

Chairman Foss, of the naval af'

the House to decide what should

He. Too. a BURGLAR.

All was quiet within the house, and
the night was far spent Thus for
tune favored the burglar as he stealth
lily acquired the plate and valuables
and put them in his capacious bag.
But oh, the horrible thrill he got when
an icy-cold hand grasped his wrist!
1t was not a ghost he saw when he
flashed round with his bulrs-eye, but
a man with a keen look of sorrow on
his detected countenance.
"Oh, my poor, misguided friend"
murmured the intruder sorrowfully.
Would you rob me of my valuables?
Think, my man, what you are doing.
If you have a wife and child, what
would they do if / sent you to
PRISON." The burglar seemed to be
somewhat moved, and he dropped the
stolen goods. Turn from your evil
ways, my brother" went on the in
truder. Your secret is safe with
me-"
Then without a word our friend
made hasty exit by the window. The
kind, loving, charitable old man, hav-
ing quietly lifted the swag on his
shoulder, after examining 1t to its ut
most capacity with useful articles,
also took his departure. For behold,
he, too, was a burglar.

and contributed not a little to the
gayety of his comrades.
"At the battle of Cold Harbor, just
before making the charge and while
under the Confederate fire. our cor
poral, who was over feet tall and
scarcely bigger around than a gun
barrel. became excited as the enemy's
bullets plowed up the earth about
him.
What kind of a place is this to

HAYSEED FARMER IS EXTINCT
Our AgricuIturlsts Now Even Have
Dining Clubs With Cigars and
After-Dinner Speeches.

One of the American characteristics
disappearing from the worlds stage
is the "hayseed." He still inhabits
the comic supplement and the imagi-
nation of people reared in pent-up
flats, but he is nearly extinct in the
hamlet, the crossroads general store
and the village postoff1ce. The daily
newspaper, the daily mail, the rural
delivery, the telephone and the troll
ley have nearly annihilated him.
Though some gentlemen continue to
wear trousers tucked in boot tops, to
nibble a straw and to white fragrant
slivers of white pine, the real "rube"
is getting rare. He Is now generally
found in the cities-the best places
for the sale of mining stocks, oil
stocks, coffee plantation stocks, rub
ber-growing company stocks, gilt
bricks and other quick ways of break
ing into the millionaire class.
One of the recent developments OF
country life is the organization of
farmers dining clubs. Think Of Un-
Gle Josh, by heck, as clubmani This
farmers dining club idea appears to
have originated in Kansas, the par
ent state Of many strange ideas. And
this particular idea, as strange ideas
commonly do In Kansas, seems to
spread. And every one knows, espe-
cially a number Of standpatters, that
when strange idea begins to spread
in Kansas 1t keeps on spreading.
At these farmers clubs there Is a
good dinner-no light lunch, mind you
but plethora of boiled and baked
food-meat, potatoes, cabbage, green's,
aye, and perhaps onions, too. After
the dinner cigars are served-cigars
not made of hemp-none Of your Sa-
vannah reflectors with long alfalfa
filler and jimpson weed wrapper-but
real cigar that a man can smoke
without waking up the board of health.
Shades of Uncle Silas, Uncle Reuben
and Uncle Hezekiah and their corn
cob pipes with stems Of reed!
After dinner the agricultural club
men make speeches. This is human
| failing. Life would be happier for all
men who have to listen If other men
did not insist on making speeches, but
some men are always Indifferent to
the comfort of their fellows. When
the club meeting begins to break up
! the farmers rush home In their auto
mobiles, making poor pedestrians
jump out of the road and killing
! chickens on the way-Washingt

Evelyn extended rather limp hand,
saying the first thing she could think
of to cover her chagrin: How are

Later in the evening she discovered
he was only fourth cousin OF
Franks. At any rate, there was no

to be excused, leaving her sister to
entertain Jack while she FASTENED to
