POLICEMAN WAS A DIPLOMAT
Officer Threatens to Return Baseball
Pass Unless Charlie Comiskey
Drives His Car Slower.

Charles Comiskey, who runs the
White Sox ball club in Chicago, is
widely acquainted in that big town
and in his day has been lavish with
passes to his ball park
Last year he gave a season pass to
young man he had helped to an APP
pOintment On the Chicago police force.
Soon after this Comiskey was pushing
his automobile bit beyond the speed
limit up Michigan boulevard and was
stopped by policeman. The police
man opened the door of the car and
saw Comiskey sitting inside.
Hello, Bill" said Comiskey. How
are you getting along since got you
your job on the force?"
The policeman coughed and slut
tered. Finally he said:
Look here, Charlie; you'll have to
go slower with this car of yours or I'll
have to give back my pass!"-Satur-

Pets and Rroken Hearts.

The dog of Mistral, the Provencal
poet, died the day after Mistrals re-
cent death. 1t is a fairly common
thing for dogs, cats, canaries and 9TH
er pets to die few days or even hours
after their masters. But do they die
of grief? 1t is not likely.
A Manayunk physician examined
the corpse of canary that had sue
cumbed with its little mistress. The
caharys death, the examination
showed, was due not to broken heart,
but to scarlet fever, the malady to
which it's little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems it is surmised that pets, when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty, but,
alas, it won't wash.

A Rare, Rare Man.

William H. Handy, short story
writer and novelist, is a great lover
of folks and makes friends with all
sorts and conditions of men. One day
while on an outing in the Ozarks he
got hill billy who was something
of a character to accompany him on
fishing excursion in order to study the
type. The two men spent the day in
the woods together and returned to
camp old friends and then Mr.. Handy
learned that he was not the only one
on the expedition who had been study
ing his companion. AS they shook
hands in parting the hill billy said:
Il taken likin' to yuh, but yuh
shore be the queerest man l ever see.

When Lovesick Swain Can Feel
Like This.


Come, come, old man; don't let it

her."
Yes, | suppose it is as you say;
but it isn't six months from now.
Everything l see reminds me of her.
When look at other women | can't
help thinking how much more beauti-
full she is than any of them. When
the wind blows l am reminded that it
is probably adding to the color of her
cheeks. Whenever l pass a corner
where she and l have stood together
| have a strange empty feeling as
II something were gone out of my
life.
When. I look up at the sky, | can
not keep from remembering that it
is above her. If l could forget her
for only day, for only an hour, l
think / might learn to hope again;
but | can't get her out of my mind.
1t seems to me that the whole world
is changed since she told me that I
was never to see her aagin. l can't
understand how anybody manages to
keep on being happy. l would give
almost anything to forget her. Chi

A mother was urging her little son

papa buy toys for him."
He has no papa, dear. That is
the reason why want you to be so
particularly nice to him. 1t would be
no virtue in you to give him what
you don't want anyway We should
always be careful to share what we
really prize. Now, as 1 say, Melville

SCORED ONE ON HIS RIVAL
Brown Had Overlooked Leap YeaT
and Jones Was Quick to Mark
the Point.

Irving Fletcher, the well-known adj
vertising expert, said at an advertis-
ing mems dinner at Delmonico's in
New York:
"A good advertisement never lies
1t never deceives. For it can only
pay by making life patrons, not tram
silent ones.
"a good advertisement never lies,
but it states its case as strongly as
possible, and it avails itself of every
point, however slight. There it is
like young Jones.
Young Jones proposed at Lake.
wood to pretty girl, but she said I'M
certainly, swinging her slim foot in
and out of her slashed skirt:
L like you, Mr.. Jones. But, then.
l like Mr.. Brown, too And Mr.. Brown
is so devoted He says he thinks
of me 365 days in the year
HUH snorted young Jones, con-
temptuously. He wants a day of
every four years, does he? Well, I
hope you're not taken in by any such
one-horse devotion as that.
