Talking Shop.-A recent remark by
the ten-year-old son Of a Cleveland
engineer would indicate that the
youngster has been more or less con-
scious Of the shop talk" wherein his
father naturally INDUCES from time
to time at home.
A pug dog belonging to neighbors
who were away for the summer was
intrusted to the care Of this boy. The
pug dog was 50 old and fat that he ex-
perienced great difficulty in breathing,
a circumstance that caused him to
snore when he slept.
Now the first night the dog spent In
his new quarters he snored so fright
fully that practically the whole fam
lily was kept awake all night long. The
engineer and his wife were much per-
picked, for they had agreed that their
boy should care for the dog until the
return OF its owners They felt, how
ever, that they must have sleep; and
so after breakfast a council Of war
was held, during which the cause of
the disturbance lay contentedly on
rug with his fiat nose between his
paws.
Finally the ten-year-old boy ven-
tured an observation.
"I know why that dog snores," he
said.
well, why?" asked the father.
His nose is so short that there's
no raught."-Earper's Magazine.

Only for the Feet.-Some years ago
a very select coterie Of Quakers near
Philadelphia was terribly agitated at a
report that one of their number was
about to embrace Christian Science.
Several of them made it a point to go
and reason with the wavering one,
but to all she explained that for years
she had suffered greatly with her feet
and that the Christian Science treat
ment was the only thing that helped
her Appeals were unavailing. She
persisted.
One day not long after the interest
in Christian Science had permeated the
entire neighborhood, she was visiting
a friend, who remarked:
Thee doesn't look we'll this MORN
ing"
Il have a headache" was the re-
joinder.
But 1 thought thee was Christian
Scientist now. Thee knows Christian
Scientists never have headaches"
For a moment the gentle Quaker wo-
man was nonplussed. Then she said:
"Ah, but thee knows l have only
taken Christian Science treatment for
my feet"

Humorous department.
They "Did Fine"

The late Whiting Allen used to tell
a story of the days when he was ad-
vance agent for a small theatrical
company, ordinarily termed barn
stormers."
After many weeks of one-night
stands the company fell into bad ways
as to business and bookings and wild
eating" was resorted to to keep the
little aggregation playing consecutive
dates.
In a small town in New England AL
len was negotiating with the local
manager for a contract to fill an open
date. Standing at the desk Of the local
hotel, he began feeling the proprietor
out as to the probability OF his COM
pany doing business should 1t play the
town.
well, how do the people Of this
town like amusements?" asked Allen.
"Amusements? Why, they're right
keen for It. What's the matter; do
you represent troupe, asked the boh-
iface.
Yes" continued AllHn, L DO, anu
I've been figuring on playing a date
here next week and wanted to get some
idea as to how we'd do"
DO" said the hotel man in astonish-
ment why, you'll do fine; all the
troupes that play this town do we'll.
Yes, sir, this is the greatest show-so-
;no toryn In the state"
We'll, how did the last show do that
played here?" continued Allen, in his
search for information.
Just like all the rest-fne. AS
said, all the troupes do we'll here" as
serted the boniface.
by the way what was the name OF
the last company that played here"
asked Allen.
The last troupe; why, 1t was er-
let me see-oh, yes. it was er-darn
me If 1 amt forgotten
Then going to the foot Of the stairs
the proprietor shouted up to his son:
Say, Henry, just look at them trunks
and see what the name Of that last
troupe was."-New York Sun.
