Socially Launched.


In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a
wall. t
I'm way behind the other boys In
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
'Tisn't only studies, but it's gmyna-
stun and banjos and everything. I
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
q week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they're proud
to have me here. l can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more. 49,

The English alphabet has twenty
six letters, the Russian thirty-six. The

begin to be big enough for the Chinese
language, which has no alphabet but

great number of words found in the
English language only a small proper

characters commonly employed is still
far greater than could be put on any

Jim's Wife.

After the report had been current
for a week that Jim's wife, whom Jim
had met and married and was still
secluding in Chicago. was ugly as sin.
a friend who had Jim's interests at
heart, ran down the author of the
rumor with the intention of making
her retract.
"How do you know she is ugly?" he
asked. 'Have you ever seen herr"
No" said the experienced gossip.

her picture, nor anybody who has
seen either her or her picture, but

Chicago that when she ordered a
dozen pictures taken just while be-

made her pay in advance. and a pho
tographer never does that unless the
subject is so ugly that she is apt to
be discouraged when she sees the
pictures and refuse to pay for them

TOOK TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED
How Sir Andrew Clarke, by Hasty
Prescription, Taught Patient
to Smoke.

The late Sir Andrew Clarke was
eating and overdrinking, and so firm
in his belief that in a large majority
of cases diet would do far more than
drugs, that he was a little too much
inclined to take it fer granted that
his patients were self-indulgent to the
ruin Of their health. Among the
many anecdotes to which his views
gave rise the following is one Of the
most amusing:
A patient came to consult him, and
was at once overwhelmed with direc-
tons on the subject of the life he
should lead and the diet to which he
should adhere. Nov, remember.
only one glass Of wine at each meal"
the physician concluded, land just
one cigar after dinner won't hurt you.
Good morning. Be sure you keep
strictly to one cigar"
"One cigar!" said the patient.
But"
MY dear sir" broke in Sir Andrew,

| am to treat you, you must follow
my directions. / know quite well you
will find it hard, but it is absolutely
necessary for your health"
The patient heaved a deep sigh.
"All right, Sir Andrew. Since you
insist, / will do my best. Good morn
ing"
He went his way, but his health did
not improve. and at the end of a few
weeks he returned to the physicians

PRINCE MIGHT GET SHOT
But Mrs. Pattlson Was Willing Her
Husband Should Face the Burg

Mr.. and Mrs. Pattison awakened
suddenly. Both thought the noise
came from the basement.
Better go and see what that is"
said his wife uneasily. 1T may be a
burglar!"
"Oh, l hardly think it's a burglar"
Pattison said as he turned over in
bed.
Yes" his wife returned. 'but then
il might be. Oughtn't you to go and
investigator
Pattison never had gone in much
for burglar chasing, but he wasn't
afraid of a burglar. Or if he was he
wasn't going TO let his wife know it.
He arose from his bed and strobe
bravely forth, stubbing his great toe
as he did so.
Then he paused to think what
would be the best way to approach
the burglar. He thought and thought
and by and by a thought came out.
He would call little Prince, Mrs. Pat
tison's pet dog. and have him go on
ahead and bark an occasional bark.
Then" thought Pattison, eff there
really is a burglar in the basement
like as not he'll run before | get
there"
Prince up to that time didn't know
there was a burglar around.
Pattison called the dog softly:
"Heah, Prince" he whispered, "heah,
heahi'
Mrs. Pattison heard the hoarse
whisper for the dog. "Why. George"
she exclaimed in alarm. you're surely
not going to take Prince down with
you after the burglar"
why, er-ah-the fact is" bluffed
Pattison, 81 thought if took the dog
along he might help me find the burg
lar"
Yes" retorted his wife, "but Prince
might get shot"

FAKE NUGGETS BECOME
POPULAR COLLATERAL
All is not gold that glitters.

Things are not what they seem.
These and a number of other old
saws were given added prestige by a
decision i'm the justice court of Judge
T. d. Burdick yesterday morning.
when d. d. Doyle was arraigned in
that court for giving fake gold mug
gets as security for small loan. says
the Bisbee Review.
The nuggets glittered but an analys-
is by an assayer proved that they
were not gold. They seemed to the
money lender to be gold, but they
were not
After hearing the evidence in the
case Justice Burdick found the de-
PENDANT guilty of passing fake mug
gets and gave him a sentence of a fine
of $50 or ninety days i'm Jail. The fine
had not been paid last night.
The complaining witness was George
V Gaiuwain. He said that Doyle
offered the fake nuggest to him Sun
day night as security for a small loan.
The nuggets had a gold-like glitter
but they seemed to be lighter than
gold. He showed them to Officer c..
y. Thomas and together they took
the nuggets to an assayer. where eX-
animation showed them to be merely
gold washed alloy. Doyle told an Of
ficer that he was drinking at the time
and that Giauwain should have had
better sense than to accept them.
The officers state that they know
who made the fake nuggets and say
that more of them are in circulation.
The mere making of them il is said
is not a crime unless they are made
with intent to defraud.
