A Kentucky Breakfast

In Washington club the other night
the talk topic turned to things culinary.
when Senator John w. Smith of Mary
land, smilingly asked the crowd il they
had ever heard of a Kentucky breakfast.
Nothing doing, SO the senator explained,
says the Philadelphia Ledger.
Some time since, he said two acauaint-
ances were walking along one of the
business streets of Baltimore when one
of them remarked that he would like to
have a Kontucly breakfast.
"A Kentucky breakfast" returned the
other, wonderingly. what in the deuce is
a Kentucky breakfast"
''I Thought you knew answered the
first. "A Kentucky breakfast Is a three
pound sirloin steak, a bottle OF whisky
and a god sized dog"
'I see,' was the smiling rejoinder of
the second. But what's the dog for?"
whats the dog for?" exclaimed the
first "Why, to eat the steak, of course

Suffragist Wife Wins in Court

Lawrence Rupp. of 100 G1enmore ave-
nue., East New York, whose wife had him
arrested because he interrupted her suf-
frage speech by suggesting that she come
home and get his dinner, was found
guilty of disturbing the peace by Magis-
trate Mcclure in the New Jersey avenue
police court. Sentence was suspended
upon his promise not to do it again.
Mr.. Rupp is little man, with nothing
of the militant about him, He appeared
i'll at ease while his wife was testifying,
and as the time approached for him to
leave the court room and go home, look
of foreboding came over his face.
Mrs. Rupp, who was called to the stand
at the opening OF the hearing, said she
had been married Is years, had reared
five children, and now, in the tea-time
of her life. was devotfng her evenings to
the cause of woman suffrage, says the
New York Sun.
Last night cooked my husbands din
ner," she said, ''but he did not come home
to eat it, and I leftit on the table and
went out to speak with Mrs. Doughty.
Then, about o'clock, along came Mr.
Rupp. He interrupted me right in the
midst of my most telling argument to say
that | should come home and cook his
dinner. Then when I tried to ignore him
he turned to lot of dirty-faced little
boys and shamed me.
Here's a woman he said who won't
cook my supper and don't put my chill
dren to bed because she is. talking for
women's votes. What do you think of
that kind of a woman?
When he said that just had to have
him arrested, for the little boys hooted
and felt very uncomfortable and
ashamed"
Magistrate Mcguire refused to allow
Mrs. Rupp to be cross-examined as to
whether or not her activity In the cause
interfered with her domestic duties. Mr..
Rupp followed his wife to the witness
chair.
81 have been married 1S or 10 years Tive
forgotten which, he said, "and every
thing went all right until nv wife got
this suffrage craze and began making
cart tail speeches at night. Then she
let things slide at home"
"Rupp," said the magistrate and the
defendant seemed to crunple up like a
poisoned flower, you have absolutely no
right to interfere with your wife under
conditions that disturb the public under
ana the peace of the state. This court
has nothing to do with your dissatisfac-
ton with her conduct in making suffrage
speeches. If you are not satisfied So
ciety gives you redress through the courts
Rupp, you have disturbed the peace. VIII
you do it again?'
There was a moment of painful silence
Then Rupp answered, Never again."

Me and Posey Higginbottom had a
long talk this morning on the subject
of religion" remarked the Sheriff.
Usually amt no great shakes at
conversing ON this theme, for the sim
pie reason that I don't consider the
aggregate amount of my religion as
being sufficient to wad shotgun; but
Posey got buckwild about the gospel
over at the Peckerwood revival, pur-
fessed religgun, wallowed in the
straw, shouted and come through in
great shape.
Now he talks on theological subiects
and quotes the Bible from Genesis TO
Nenimiah totes the hat around in Sun
nay school; makes stagger at holding
fam'bly prayers. and on one occasion
he feloniously assaulted that good old
time hymn, Come Thy Flint of Every
BLESSING but Bud Ricketts, two yaller
hounds jined in the second line and bust
ed the harmony of that melody into uoll
rags.
Posey's minstrelsy is sorter like Gov
ernor Comers oratorical efforts-he filt-
ers most of it through his nose and it
ratner spolls the euphony of the general
warble, though must say that he gets
right smart chance of action when
he cuts loose in singing, the neighbors
usually thing that it's goats fighting
when Posey lams loose them melodies
The old man is convinced that he has
got hold of the real genuine article and
he told me confidentlally that he was
ready to die and he was dead sure or
landing in heaven schedule time i'm
mediately after his decease. \
Il suggested to him that If was in
his place | wouldn't go until was
sent for, especially as there was to be
hoss swappers' convention on ,Satdy

Ball PLAYERS No Machines

"The idea that a ball player is mere
ly machine and that long experience
has made him the calmest and coolest
of human creatures while performing
before the public is a mistake. Ball
players have the same feelings as you
and I though they may be more sue
cessful in concealing theirs, and there
is no question that large majority of

At the Colored Baptizing

when Nath Ragland, colored, got back
from the penitentiary he got religion. and
sent in his application to the Baptist
church," said the Coroner 1.-THE niggers
damned up the branch. and sent out word
for all hands to come and see big sin
ner come into the fold. Nath weighed
at least 300 pounds. The officiating Bap-
tist minister was little spndling niger,
with legs like pipestems, who hefted about
115 pounds. In endeavoring to handle the
huge bulk of Nath in the water, the Bap-
tist parson lost his holt, let Nath slip,
and as a consequence Nath went under
and swallowed enough branch water to
fill railroad tank. He climbed out on the
bank greatly disgusted, sat there awhile
spouting water like a fire engine, and
then surveying the crowd he exclaimed:

An Expert Adviser
THE boss adviser OF our neighborhood
is old Deacon Ramsey" stated the tax
assessor. HE first finds out about what
line person really wants to follow and
he then suggests that it's best to do that
way. He always brags that when his
advice is taken it's sure to bring re-
suits. The old duck is vain about his
advising wisdom, which he has steadily
advertised until not a few people really
believe in his judgment, but I have long
since found out that he amt no Solo
mon, being nothing more than an ad-
wiser of the soothing syrup variety.
Some folks is built SO that they always
predict or advise about a thing in such
way that IL they don't hit 1t they can
afterwards get out of it by reniggfng, or
reminding you they hadn't said so posi-
lively. These here old weather projectors
Is thataway-ask one of 'em if it's going
to rain, and he'll tell you that it is sorter
likely that we'll have falling weather
soon, but the moon amt just exactly right
for wet weather, just now, but according
to his view the weather would change
by this time tomorrow-and so on to-
morrow, IL it's dry. he will claim to have
predicted 1t, and if it's raining he told
you so.

Lawrence Rupp left the court room, but
waited for his wife at the door. He said
he wanted to make up with her. She
and Mrs. Doughty came forth smiling,
and paid no more attention to the stricken
figure on the steps than they would to a
piece of cheese.
"victory! Victory!' exclaimed Mrs.
Doughty.
