to be disturbed by the frantic shrieks
of man clinging to pole in the hot
sun. Moreover. what business did the
man have on the pole, anyway? He
said he was a detective. but he didn't

busy clinging to the shaft to show
his star. II he was foolish enough to
climb a pole on which he didn't be-

the uniformed policeman it ran behind
the house. and 1t had to be coaxed
out.
The warrant was served.

An Indianapolis travelling man wit
messed a novel feast by students of De
Paw university at Greencastle the
other day. He said he was at station
in that city, and standing near was a
poultry car loaded with live poultry.
The hens were cackling and carrying
on at a great rate. A crowd of stu

ever hen produced nice, new. fresh
egg'a student reached his arm through
the side of the car, seized the egg and
made for a nearby store, where he
fried it over gas jet.
There were at least twenty stu

busy all the time l was there. don't

Twain with great glee about a certain
little girl friend who "shone as an
authoress." One day she handed her
devoted sympathizzer the sheets of a
story which read thus:
"A man was seated in chair by
the fireside brooding over his trou-

was dead. Suddenly n specter ap-
peared before him. and it was his
wife. She said: Dear. l could not
