Red Tape and a Murderer.-This

hcO ape dIio q Wui1Si S' . hiS ~
a tale Of a self confessed murderer
who wished to be arrested, as related
by a writer in lie Matin, Paris.
Some time ago man named Berges
was stabbed to death at Algiers.
Three men were arrested on suspicion,
but as they proved their innocence
they were released and the matter was
shelved. A few days afterward man
called at the office Of the local police
commissary and said to that official:
my name is Marius Yvorra.
killed Berges, and this Is how did
1t"
The commissary listened to the
mans confession and said:
You had better see my secretary"
The secretary also listened to the
mans confession and after a little re-
Election said:
Now, look here, my good man;
this Is not the way to get arrested.
You must write us letter confirming
the oral statement made to us. Then
we shall be able to attend to you. Now
get along"
The man left the office, and perhaps
because he was not a good writer he
has not since been seen since in AL
giers.

Impracticability.-This thing of do
ing in Rome as the Romans do Is not
always the best plan. If you don't be-
lieve it Miss Jane Adams, the IA
nous sociological worker Of Chicago
will tell you story to prove it.
Miss Adams knew a wealthy wo-
man who delighted in doing works OF
charity, such as sending missionaries to
foreign fields, and on one occasion she
put up money to send a missionary to
the Caroline islands. Soon after his
arrival on the scene of his activities
the religious man sent his benefac-
tress a photograph of himself and his
wife.
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man of God a letter, suggesting
that his wife, in order to win the con-
fidence of the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume of the islands. Two months
later she received this answer:
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting it."
The native dress consisted of a
piece of woven straw, two inches wide
and eight inches long.-Popular Mag
azine.

The Ordinary Man.

The Ordinary Man walked into a
florists shop, and, pointing to beau
tiful Towering liant, asked its price.
THAT duode nIum fioriatum?" ask
ed the florist as nearly as the Ordinary
Man understood him. 1T is worth a
dollar"
He dropped in at his physicians Of
flee and requested that gentleman to
tell what was the matter with him.
"Oh, you've got a slight manifesto
tion of nasopharyngeal comblomme-
rus" the doctor said, or words to that
apparent effect
The Ordinary Man stopped to look
at an automobile, and the agent said:
You see, the differential is set at
a tangent to the assimilator, and that
brings the obloid paralelling chute in
diametric connection with the swivel
ling trunnion," as nearly as the Ordi-
nary Man caught the remark.
The Ordinary Man consulted his
lawyer.
I'VE will appeal to have the decision
reversed" declared the attorney, ION
the grounds of lax judictatum non con-
tendre posse comitatus"- at least that
Is what the Ordinary Man gathered.
So he became so bewildered over the
way things are told to Ordinary Peo-
pie that he was careless when he
crossed the street and was run down
by an automobile being demonstrated
by the agent, and was picked up and
carried into the doctors office and call
ed the lawyer to make his will, and la
ter the florist got an order.
And. to pursue him still further, they
carved on his monument: "Requiescat
in pace."-Chicago Post.

Taken At Her Word.

The last time that President Taft
visited Brooklyn he was the guest OF
a club at dinner, says the New YORK
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. Just as he entered the hall he
found Job Hedges in the very act
of delivering himself Of a speech.
Mr.. Hedges declined to stop when the
president entered. AS he explained
to the audience, he had just come TO
the peroration of his address; and the
peroration was the only thing in the
whole speech that was worth shucks,
and he didn't propose to have his play
concluded Just as the curtain had
gone up on the second act. President
Taft laughed, and acquiesced for he
and Hedges are old friends. 1T
makes me think of yarn 1 once
heard Hedges tell" said a friend OF
the latter. 1.-The suffragette organi-
zation here needed lawyer. 1t need
ed a good one who was willing to be
good-natured about his fee. Some
one proposed Job Hedges for that
job-some one, perhaps, who didn't
like Hedges very we'll. Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, one OF the most stren-
uous leaders of the suffragettes was
named as ambassador. She called on
Hedges in his office. He sprang up
as she entered.
"'why, Mrs. Gait said he. This
is. a real pleasure. Take this seat. Let
me pull the window shade down
little. I fear this brilliant sunlight
will hurt your eyes. Let me get you
a footstool Do you feel a draught?
Are you warm enough
Mrs Gait became restive under
Hedges abundant courtesy. Now,
Mr.. Hedges said she. I came here to
talk business with you, just as If 1
were a man. I want you to treat me
as though I were man.
"'All right, Cattle said Hedges,
calmly. Have cigar?'"

He Saved His Dollar.

The Rev. Father NJ. ]. O'Reilly, priest
of st. Patrick's parish, Is somewhat Of
wit, and in every place to which he
has been assigned has been sought af-
ter socially for that reason. BefoTs
coming to Kansas City he was m
charge of a church in Joplin, where 1t
was a common saying that nobody
ever put him at loss for an answer
Father O'Reilly had many friends
among the men about town, and many
of the nom Catholics out of friendship
for the priest contributed to the build
ing Of his church. One time when the
Elks were giving their annual fair a
mock court was one of the features.
The police patrol wagon was kept
busy "raiding" the homes of promi-
nent citizens who were hailed before
the court and fined" whatever sum
they happened to have in their pock-
cts.
Here is where we get at least 81

Send the wagon around to his house
and bring him in. If he can find an
answer that's worth it I'll remit his
fine. II he can't he's got to pay it,
Father O'Reilly's parish house was
duly 'raided" and the priest brought
into court"
What have you to say as to why

with other citizens of Joplin inveigled
into helping to build your church.
should not fine you 81 Silence! Don't
say a word-pay the clerk dollar.
Call the next ease" ratified the
court" without giving the priest an
opportunity for reply. With a broad
grin the priest fished in his pocket and
handed the clerk a silver dollar.
"'Tis cheap enough" he said. It's
worth more than that to get to look at
the court"
Give him his dollar back" shouted
the Jury, and the court" so ordered
