STRAW AND CREAM

L happened to be at the house of one
of the employees of the wooden mills at
this place few days ago, when Bos-
ton newspaper was delivered. The lady
of the house received it and read aloud
as follows:
Richeson has not lost his appetite.
Today he made a request for Stra
berries and cream. Sheriff Quinn sent
out to fruit store on Cambridge street
and got the very best box of berries
obtaina BILE. They were picked and
washed in the jail kitchen, and We're
swimming in the thick cream, and
frosted with powdered sugar and car
ried to the cell of the condemned man
who ate every one of them with rel
iSh.
When she had ceased reading a lit
tie lad of some six or seven years
smacked his lips and exclaimed STRAW
berries and cream! jee whiz. mamma!
let's have some for supper. Won't you
mamma? Please do"
The mother, a delicate little woman
whose face and hands bore marks of
toll and trouble, smiled though her
voice shook slightly, as she looked into
the eager little face and answered.
Mamma would like very much to-
dear but We can't afford it."-Ex-
change.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS
Pensacola Journal

A girl wants to pick her a husband,
but after marriage she is satisfied with
picking his pocket.
Some people are so unaccommodat-
ing. Life would be a constant joy to
us if our creditors would take some of
the accounts we cannot collect for our
debts.
Only five per cent of the American
people buy books, some one writes in a
magazine. We thought much by the
way ours disappear.
Since it has been successfully dem
onstrated that farmers can plow with
dynamite the boarding houses ought to
try to chop steak with it.
A New York paper had a headline
which read: Court Helps Polish Girl"
We naturally wonder whether the court
used stove or shoe polish.
If there is no marrying in heaven
the preachers will have to be paid
more straight salary.
Some men hold tight upon their
money, but almost everyone likes to
hold tight to his lady love. Just hu-
man nature, you know.
