A Home Thrust.

"All sorts and conditions of men
have excellent explanations for their
positions in life," said the Senator.
"a tramp, however, came under my
observation who had no illusions
about the cause Of his own condi-
ton.
"a fi~ne-looking and nshionably
dressed woman had just alighted
from her limousine at the hotel en-
trance, and was suddenly approached
by this stability dressed man who re-
quested a dime.
"No, I have no money to spare
for you. don't see why al able
bodied mar like you should go about
begging"
"I s'pose, ma'am,' replied the
lazy tramp, it's fer about the same
reason that a healthy woman like
you boards at a hotel instead of
keepin' house,"

He Couldn't Hear a Word.

If you heard a man kissing your
wife would 1t arouse as much ire as
II you saw the act? Rose Stahl gives
this version:
1.-TWO sailors were seated at a table
before a cafe. One sailor had a let
ter before him and was reading
aloud, while at the same time the
other sailor held his hands over the
readers ears. The friendly waiter,
impelled by curiosity, paused before
the table.
"'Why,' he asked, do you hold
your hands over your friends ears
while he reads that letter out loud
to your
Because was the dignified
answer, the letter is from my sweet
heart. Jack is reading 1t because !
cant read myself. That is all right,
but l don't want him to hear a word
of what Is written"

Hopeless.

Here's an anecdote Of the stork
variety related by Robert Edeson:
Harry was an only child and the
greatest desire of his heart was for
a baby brother or sister. He pre-
ferred a sister and never failed to
ask for one when he said his evening
prayer.
mot receiving an answer, he re-
moved all restriction by altering his
petition to the following: oh, God,
send us a baby; l don't care whether
it's a boy or a girl, or black or white,
If It's only a baby
Shortly after, the Densmores, who
lived next door, had an addition to
their already large family. Harry's
mamma, noticing that the little boy
no longer prayed for a baby, said to
him n day:
Harry, why is it you don't ask
God for a baby any more?'
"'Oh, it's no use,' he replied, If
INT comes along the Densmores'll
gobble 1t up"
