Ludicrous utterances of similar sort are
common in advertisements, especially those
of personal nature. Here is one that ap-
peared in an English journal:
"HENRY.-Return to your distracted
wife and frantic children Do you want to
hear of your old mothers suicide? You will,
if you do not let us hear from you. At any
rate, send back your fathers colored meer-
schaum.'
Anticlimax frequently occurs in the liter
airy efforts of natives in India, particularly
when they have occasion to petition Euro
peans for favors The following is a fair
example:
3Will the Presence, whose reputation for
justice is known from east to west and whose
countenance spreads JOY among his interiors,
who are as the sands of the seashore in num-
Der, graciously deign to take but an instant's
notice of him who has the almost delirious
honor to name himself as one of the most un-
worthy among the servants of the Protector
of the Poor, and will the favorite son of the
Lord of the Universe magnaninously over
look the amazing presumption in asking him
for the payment of bill of two annas for
hen-feed?"

for you for Christmas, if you Il tell me what
you have for me"
Mrs Willoughby hesitated, then weakly
yielded. After learning of the work baskets,
housewives" and doilies ready for her
delectation, she proceeded to inform Isa-
belle of the prospective additions to doll
house and playroom on which had been
spent much time and money. With becon1-
ing satisfaction the child listened to tie
enumeration; then, with sigh of expecta-
ton, she remarked:
And now | wonder what Santa Claus is
going to give me?"

PANAMA AND PENNSYLVANIA

limited STATES SENATOR PEN

in the Panama Canal. Sometime ago he or
ganized party of Senators and started for
Panama on the government yacht Dolphin.
The yacht, a VIGOROUSLY bad sea boat, ran
into terrific storm, and Penrose was con-
fined to his stateroom for several days.
At last the engines stopped pounding, and
the Senator, gazing through portfolio, saw

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE

X/HEN the new edition of one Of the best
W known encyclopedias now on the
market was being written and the various
specialists were in the sanctum at work, the
historian turned to the mathematician and
asked, @How do you spell ingestion,"

The authority on physiology who over

to explain that ingestion and CESSATION had
nothing to do with each other and added
that the ignorance of his confreres on some
subjects reminded him of the Judge who
charged the jury, @The verdict must be in

BURLESON AND HIS FENCE

WHEN Postmaster General Burleson
was a member of the House he rushed
into his committee room one day and an
nounced that he had at last obtained the
iron fence around the old Pennsylvania
station in Washington.
A cub reporter who happened to be pres
ent wrote a story about the fence, and after
stating the facts expressed the opinion that
it would soon adorn one of the public parks
in Burleson's district in Texas
The Texas correspondents wired the story
to their papers, and soon Burleson was
deluged with kilograms.
Encountering the cub reporter, Burleson
angriJy demanded to Know what he had
written about the fence.
@Whats the natter" innocently asked
the reporter.
"Whats the matter" shouted Burleson
Il paid hundred and twenty-five dollars
for that fence at public auction; | paid
hundred dollars to have it painted black
and have the tops gilded; l paid seventy
five dollars freight on it to my home in
Austin, Texas, where it was to be placed on
my home grounds. What's the NATTER

keeper. "She wanted me to investigate

She planned to wear it that evening to the
opera. She said the dressmaker declared
that the box had been sent the previous day
and that she had the clerks receipt for
it. Well, we looked everywhere for that
gown.
"At last in our high state of excitement
we found a bellboy, new one that week, to
whom the box had been given to deliver up
stairs. After some hard thinking the boys
