BECAME A CONTEST OF WITS
Actors In Humorous Effort to Get the
Best Of Joke Which Ended In
q Draw.

A very serious drama was being
played, and in one of the principal
acts, when the excitement of the
piece was supposed to rise to fever
heat, prisoner was required to read
aloud a letter which the jailer
brought to his cell. To avoid the
bother of committing the contents to
memory, the actor was accustomed
to have the words written out on the
paper that was handed to him.
One night, however, the actor who
took the part of the jailer decided to
have joke at the expense of his
brother player, the prisoner, and so,
instead of the letter, he gave him a
sheet of paper. The prisoner, start
ing to read it aloud, was for a mo-
ment quite unneryed when he saw
the blank paper. But he quickly re.
covered himself.
"Jaller J! he SAID, calmly.

rents were very poor and as [ never
went to school, | can't read. Per.
haps you won't mind telling me what
is written down in this letter."
The tables were turned, but the
joker was also man of ready wit.
For a second or two he looked at the
paper and then said: 81 will certain
ly do it, but | must go to look for
my spectacles."
AS might be imagined he brought
back with the spectacles the needed
letter.

"NEvER SOLD SIX"

A small party of prospective in.
vestors were on tour of inspection
in the oil fields near the little town
of De Soto, Ind. Having smoked all
the cigars previously provided by the
agent who was conducting the
party, they all went into the one
store of the village to get a fresh
supply. An awkward clerk came UP
TO wait on them. The cigar stock
consisted of limited assortment of
stogies, ''two-fers" and one box of
a supposedly extra choice brand that
sold for five cents each. The host
of the party looked over the stock
and said: 81 suppose you sell six of
these nickel cigars for quarter?'
The clerk took on a puzzled look,
scratched his head and drawled:
oval, | dunno. We never sold six
to any one man."

When Land Was Cheap.

Before the railroads had penetrated
South Florida, land was very cheap,
and passed from one to another for
a mere song, as the saying Is. At
one time an old Florida cracker went
before notary to make an affidavit,
and after the paper had been prepared
asked what the fee was.
"Oh, about quarter" replied the
notary indifferently.
my graciousl amt that purity
steep?" asked the cracker
NO; that's the least charge. Usu-
ally we get a half"
The cracker went away, and the
next day returned with deed to a
quarter section. He handed 1t to
the notary who read it over care
fully.
Il meant twenty-five cents" said
he. passing the deed back to the
cracker.-Judge.

COMPARATIVE VALUES.

A German peasant had just lost
his faithful COW. His wife became
so grieved over the loss that her
heart was broken, and she, too, died.
Scarcely was she buried when one of
the neighbors came and offered his
daughter, another his sister, and
third his niece, for wife, where
upon the farmer remarked:
"Well, | can easily see that it is
better to lose a wife than a cow in
this town. AS soon as my wife is
dead a choice of half dozen wives
is offered me, but when my cow died,
they didn't offer me single one."-

"How can I advise another man

filled with mistakes? Advise him
how to avoid the like? No-for OPP
portunities to make the same mis-
takes do not happen to any two men.
Your own experiences may possibly
teach you, but another mans can't.

to do but just peg along, doing the
things that offer, and regretting
them the next day. 1t is my way and
