Humorous department.

On the Road.-A Commercial Trav.
eler had been talking his hardest
his most eloquent, his most persuas-
i've, for nearly an hour to a shrewd
old Yorkshire business man. The old
fellow seemed convinced and pleased
and the traveller thought he had his
fish landed. But the Yorkshire man
said:
There's my lad Jack-Ah'd like
him to hear what ye have to say
Will ye COON this afternoon and &c
over your talk again."
Certainly sir-with pleasure!" said
the traveller heartily, and at the
hour appointed presented himself
again for the interview with the faith
er and son. Again he went over the
points of the article he had to SELL
forcibly. eloquently. persuasively
Never had he acquitted himself of a
finer selling talk"
When he had finished. the old
Yorkshire man turned to his son. and
said enthusiastically:
DO you hear that, Jack? Well
now, that's the way want ye to sell
our goods on the road."-Tit-Bits

Not Even Postholes.-A member o
the house from Ohio returned te
Washington after an absence ol
about two weeks, during which time
he looked over his district to ascer'
tain how the land lay and if he hao
a chance of returning to the next
congress, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. AS he enter-d the hote
lobby with his grip he was greeted
by his colleague, General Isaac 5
Sherwood, the dean Of the Ohio
Democrats in congress. Gen. Sher'
wood hears poorly and only through
one of these little instruments which
resemble that alleged musical instru'
ment, the ocarina, with curved
pipestem attachment which he in
serts in his ear while listening. Ever
then one has to shout to make the
general hear.
Hello" said Sherwood to his col
league. Been out home looking
after your fences?"
Fences, hell" shouted the return
ed member II couldn't find even
posthole."

Didn't Look.-Sometime ago a little
girl rambled into a country grocery
store and placing an earthen jar on
the counter, asked for 10 cents worth
of molasses. Soon the jar was filled
and picking it up the child started for
the door.
Hold on there, youngster," hastily
interrupted the groceryman. Haven't
you forgotten something?"
mo, sir, 1 guess not" answered
the girl, pausing and looking around.
What is it?"
The money for the molasses,'
answered the grocer. Don't give it
away for an advertisement any
more"
Il thought you got the money,
was the startling rejoinedr. Mother
put it in the jar"

Shallow Optimism.-Bouck White

Shallow optimism.-Bouck White
who got six months Jail sentence for
interrupting services in John d.
ROckefeller's church, is noted for his
fund of anecdotes.
II detest the shallow optimist." "
White said at a vegetarian banquet
in New York. Il detest the shallow
optimist who, shutting his eyes to
the numberless evils that surround
us, insists that the world is getting
better.
This man, in fact, reminds me of
the nurse whose mistress said:
WAS Johnny good at the party,
nurse?'
"'Oh, yes, ma'am,' she replied.
He only broke two vases and kicked
four little girls"

A NEW PRISON
Olympia Arena in London Converted
Into Jail for Germans.

Into Jail for Germans.
In the great arena Of the Olympia
that monstrous stadium in Ken
sington, says a London dispatch.
where only few weeks ago the
Freddie Welsh-Wilie Ritchie and
Gunboat Smith George Carpenter
prize fights were held, strange scenes
are being enacted daily now. Some
two hundred odd men and youths
ranging all the way in age from 20
to 6O-every afternoon at a set hour
go through odd antics such as run
ming up and down the arena, jumping
rolling on the ground and other like
stunts. These youths and men are
Germans-held prisoners by the gov
ernment of England. Their strange
antics are the only exercise they are
allowed to take for a little each af-
ternoon A thin line of Irish guards.
grim, silent khaki-clad men, stand
guard while the Germans go through
their daily exercise.
The Olympia was seized by the gov
ernment without by your leave" or
a notice of any sort. Officials decid-
ed it was just the place they needed
and they occupied it without further
ado.
The German prisoners who are held
there are men who have been taken
from German merchantmen, German
residents of England and German
"fioaters" who it is feared are spies in
the employ Of the kaiser.
Many Of the prisoners who have
been residents of England for years
but who have never taken out nat
uralization papers. have been able to
secure their freedom. English friends
have interceded for them. They were
taken before the army officers in
charge of the Olympia and closely
questioned with regard to their feel
ings for their native country. Those
who have been able to convince the
officers by their testimony and the
pledges Of their English friends. that
they bear a love for their adopted
country, have been allowed to go free.

The Monument is the sole product
Of man which is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which Is only
as long as the span Of life. 1t may
help to form a record. but it is erect
ed as a tribute Of love to those who
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" AS
such, let it be a thing Of beauty, not
row, but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture is brought to us
from the past by the tombs Of the
ancients, so let us pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expression
Of our conception Of beauty.

OF New York came Anglo-Saxon
blood. Another feature is this:
All weli.read school boys know
that Tories were those English
men who were loyal to the crown
throughout the Revolutionary
War. After'the surrender at York
Town many of, these refuged into
the North. Carolina. mountains.
to escape the odium in which
they were held by their victori-
Gus kindred. Here they liven in
secluded huts, raising their fam
lilies on wild meats, hogs that fed
on mast, and such products as
the little "new-ground, surroun-
|ded by thick woods, could pro.
duce.
The Tories were not all, how
ever, who settled in the noun
tains. because not owe 40 years
ago, it was common in the re-
gion where this writer circulated,
for the children Of one family to
throw up "Tor's. to those OF
another. In the lonely log cabins
of the mountains, where wolves
howled, owls hooted, and pan
theirs screamed at night; where
parents had no reading matter,
or other entertainments, they
sat by log fires and amused the
children by telling Old English
riddles, Old English witch sto-
ries, and singing Old English
love songs in Old English lam
guage; and thus it has been that
the songs, riddles, stories and
idioms OF the Anglo-Saxons have
been preserved and handed down
to the present generation in the
North Carolina mountains.
Prof. Brown says: "What we
need more than anything else
most ia new blood"
