Caused Her LIttIe Inconvenience

A New York letter tells of west
ern girl, unused to the insidious cock
tail, who was dining in a Broadway
lobster palace. The dinner apparently
was given III her honor. She gulped
down her cocktail manfully but with
a wry face. During the dinner her
hostess noticed that her cheeks were
flushed. that her eyes sparkled and
her face beamed. The hostess felt a
little concerned aboHt her, but Why. it
was hard to say, as she was not in the
chicken class. Perhaps it was because
of the loudness of her laugh and con
versation. Anyway. the hostess leaned
across the table to whisper to her,
why, Kate, do you feel that cock
tail?" "Oh, yes" was the westerner's
reply with beaming face, Il feel it,
but thash all right 1t doesn't annoy
me in the slightest"

"All the trains are on time. Some

He stared for a moment at the
board, then at, the old negro. Slow

The bulletin board read:

While Billy Sunday was holding one
of his famous meetings in Wichita,
Kan, his company of workers seemed
to find in a foremost physician of the

the doctor one evening, and just as he
seemed to be on the point of yielding
to their exhortations, jealous sister
in the audience struck up: "The
