Coco Joke ON Doctor Wiley.

DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, our foremost
pure food expert, tells of a trip he
made to a place in Carolina to make
a propaganda speech. 1t goes some
thing like this:
III checked my bag at the station,
and engaged an old darby hackman to
drive me to the hall. He seemed
very much worried over my lack Of
baggage.

something to SELL For moment he
seemed satisfied But his curiosity got
the better Of him, and he broke out
with another question:

His Final Effort.

Following a comparative calm as
the crowd waited for the numbers
to go up, then, as Pinko's number
was hoisted, there was a rush on the
part of the aforesaid individuals to
collect their money.
One by one, back to their seats
they came, smiling in a way that was
gall anG wormwood to the majority.
The last to return was an eX-
cited-looking little man who made his
way TO the back, and therefore high

the crowd in the stand with more than
ordinary interest.
Suddenly he stood up to attention

AID Eyewitness.

He was d nervous man. Most men
are when they find themselves in a
dentists chair. but he was excep-
tionally so. The tooth that had to
come out was quite a small affair
from the dentists point Of view. From
the patients it felt about as big as
house.
He decided to have gas. The dem
fist, who was in a hurry to 60 to a
tennis match, tried to persuade him
to do without il, but he was deter
mined.
The dentist, in fever Of Impa-
thence, waited for the victim to lose
consciousness, but the nervous man
insisted OH keeping one eye open,
though he had had enough gas to
float an alrship.

longer, the irate tooth puller eX-

incident in his early married life.
He said il happened when their first
baby was only three months old 30

He was at his Office one afternoon
when a terrific thunderstorm broke
which crashed enough to brighten

his Wife's voice TREMENDOUSLY asked,
George, dear, can you come home
right away?" he said yes" quickly,
nor paused to question, but frantic
with misgivings, grabbed his hat and
almost ran through town to his
home.
Arriving all breathless, he found
his wife awaiting him on the porch,
her face the very picture Of distress.
Rushing up to her he said, anx-
iousiy: Why, darling, what's the
matter?'
Much to his surprise came this re-

4 Whiskers His UndOing.

Lem Hutchins is in bed with a
smooth face and a sprained hip. Lem
read somewhere that whiskers were
insanitary, and forthwith, without
consulting Mirandy, walked to the
village barber and had his 20 years
growth, almost a quarter section Of
alfalfa, removed. Lem meandered
home in the moonlight, feeling like
a picked hen, and sneaked to bed
without awakening Mirandy.
She awoke at dawn and noticed
an unfamiliar face on the pillow be-
side her. She vigorously placed her
feet ia the middle Of LENS back and
followed this up with a kick that
rolled Lem downstairs Then she
threw him over the fence, where he
lay until he told a neighbor who he
was.-New York World.
