A Dane who owned a farm in Kan

says an exchange.
The judge asked him:
"Are you satisfied with the general
conditions of the countryl"
"Yas," drawled the Dane.
"Does the form of government suit

"Yas, yas; only I would like to see
more rain," replied the farmer.

Precious,


this year. One morning short time
ago a farmer took sack and went to
his sixty-acre sweet-corn field to see
if he could find enough roasting ears
for a meal. In going over the field he
found that each ear had only couple
of rows of corn, so he cut the corn off
the cobs and had it cooked for dinner.
About dinner time young fellow
who lived near drove up, and the
farmer invited him to stay. At the
table he passed the corn to the young
man first, and the visitor took one
spoonful of corn and started to take
another, when the farmer stopped him
and said:
"Don't you think you are going a
little strong on the corni"
The young man was very much en-
barrassed. "Whyi" he stammered.
"WeI, you have about fifteen acres
of corn on your plate now."
No Need to Fear.
Early one morning, on the second
day out, terribly seasick passenger,
pale and hollow-eyed, came out of his
stateroom and ran into lady who
was coming along the passageway clad
in the scantiest raiment She screamed
and started to run.
"Don't be alarmedl" groaned the
man. "Don't be alarmed, madam; I
shall never live to tell it,
She Couldn't Have It.
A small boy, who was sitting next
to very naughty woman in q crow
ed car, kept shifting in most an
noying manner. At last the lady
could bear it no longer.
"Boy, have you got handker-
chiefi" she demanded.
The small boy looked at her for
few seconds and then, in dignified
tone, came the answer:
eyes, I ave, but I don't lend it
W otIdHSCAo.
A Fashionable Practice.
"Doctor, want you to look after
my office while 1 IN on my vacation"
"But I've just graduated, Doctor. /

"That's all right, my boy. My prae-
tice is strictly fashionable. Tell the
men to play golf and ship the women

1t was a busy day in the butcher

Stories With a Smile
Yes How Did He Know7

"a named Mead, who was graduate
of Yale, was deploring the fact
that the children of the present genera
tion do not memorize the scriptures
as they did a generation ago. "Now,

announced to the scholars, "that stu

president of Yale.
''He removed the Bible from the
desk and put dictionary in its place.
Next morning at chapel the president
announced that he would read the
11l9th Psalm, before he discovered the
trick. He opened the dictionary, and
so perfectly had he committed the
Psalm that he could repeat every word
and no one ever knew that the change
had been made, except the president
and the boy who did it. -
He paused moment for this to take
effect, when small voice piped up:

Looking For Quail.
The tourist who was anxious for

paused, and looked around. Then he
quietly approached the desk and ad-

an indulgent smile, "they have be-

they are a nuisance. The cook com

Representative Rogers
Quotes Tribune in ASSall-
ing Bryan Record.
SAYS OLD SPOILS
SYSTEM is BACK
House Hears New Regime Has
Robbed Diplomatic Service
of Merit Incentive.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, April THE Death Of
the Merit System in Our Diplomatic
Service" was the text of a speech in
which Representative John ]. Rogers.
Massachusetts Republican, asssiled the
diplomatic appointments of the new adj
ministration in the House to-day. Mt
Rogers said that appointments TO Eu-
ropean posts had been excellent in some
instances. but wherever those to be
filled were less conspicuous, the appoint
ments have been dictated apparently by
a desire of some one to repay past po-
litical favors Most OF the new diplomats
seem to have distinctly Bryanesaue
flavor"
The Roosevelt and Taft administrations
Mr.. Rogers said, had only few traces
OF the old spoils system, which had re-
turned under the Wilson Bryan regime.
The Massachusetts member quoted from
The Tribune concerning the political
nature of diplomatic appointments under
the present Secretary of State
Asserting that this nation should pro-
mote close relations with Latin-America
by raising the diplomatic service TO the
highest plane OF efficiency. Mr.. Rogers
said that Of fifteen men named to Latin
American countries only four ministers
were known even by name TO the editors
Of who's Who"
For further information as to one OF
these" he added, I'VE are referred to an
earlier edition of the series-a most I'M
kind cut-as IL the gentleman in question:
though actually living, were legally dead.
Two of the others are listed because they
were members of Congress fifteen years
ago, and the fourth is listed as retired
clergyman, but also, fortunately for his
chances of diplomatic preferment. as
Progressive Democrat
