that could be offered at the mast for
overstaying shore leave. Should a
man give him a new excuse, he de-

an excuse he had heard before the

Before long a man appeared at the

Humorous department.

Holiday Stamps.-There seems to
be some misapprehension over the
announcement that during the holi-
day season postmasters, upon request,
will stick stamps on themselves, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t is possible that frivolous persons
may request postmasters to test the
mucilage in this personal way, but
they can't be numerous.
Nor will there be many users Of the
mails, who endeavor to shift this or
dinarily simple duty.
The human tongue is not especially
designed for the work, but it is a
wonderfully adaptable attachment
and can be relied upon for just such
emergencies.
"Thir," said the thoughtful damsel
to the postoffice clerk, my hands, as
you thee, are filled with bundles. May
1 trouble you to attach thith stamp to
thith letter."
The clerk was tired and cross.
do you suppose the postoftice de-
partment has nothing to do but stick
on stamps?" he growled.
"Of course, 1 didn't expect you to
stick it on" said the smiling damsel.
81 thought you'd put it on with q
spike and triphammer."
Whereupon the clerk grinned and
obliged.

Stretching the Truth.-Mrs. Brown
lately awoke to the solemn fact that
her young daughter, Margaret, was
gifted with an oversighted imagination
which threatened to run into exagger-
alton, and this might very easily over
soon develop into decided prevarica-
ton, says the Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph. And so this enthusiastic
disciple of the new Psychology called
Margaret to the stand for hearing.
Margaret" said she, do you re-
member what happened to those chill
dren in the Bible who told stories
how the big bears came out Of the
woods and ate them all up?"
She had gone little astray in her
Biblical history, but we will let that
pass.
"Oh, yes, mamma" said Margaret,
with gooseflesh shivers. II remember
Wasn't it dreadful? And I'm not go
ing to tell another story as long as /
live, because, mamma, would you be-
lieve it-only yesterday when I was
playing in the back yard a great big,
black bear came out from under the
currant bushes in the garden and bit
me right on the knee!

Hill Wanted Terms--One day, the
story runs, when Jim Hill was going
in the railroad business and the Great
Northern was not the fine system it
is today, he was met in st. Paul by the
head of big steamboat company do
ing business on the great lakes.
"Jim," said the steamboat man, "Tll
match one Of my boats against one Of
your trains in fair race for $1,000
a side"
Mr.. Hill hesitated. II don't know"
said he, some of your boats are pref
ty fast"
I'll race you up stream" added the
steamboat man as a further induce
ment.
"Oh," exclaimed the other in dis
gusted tone, IF you're going to stick
to the river then you might as well
give up the notion of any race. l
thought you meant you'd bring your
boat out on the prairie alongside the
track and give me some show"

Some of them would entitle the au-

HOW TO ATTAIN OLD AGE
Avoid Worry and Modify Diet, Says
DR.. Dezso.

These comments on how to attain
old age are made by a writer in the
Journal of the American Medical As
sociation:
1.-THE chances Of attaining old age
are much greater if we live much Of
our life in fresh country air. Statis-
tics go to show, according to DR.. Dez-
so, of Budapest, that the fourth gen.
Grafton of the town dweller is un-
known; but enough is currently re-
ported to make the conclusion inevi-
table that the sine qua non Of longe-
vity is a certain amount Of time spent
in the country.
1.-THE city child is subject to num-
ber Of disturbing conditions other
than mere absence of creature COM
forts, which undermine the constitu-
ton by throwing too heavy burden
on the sense organs, through which
tenn follows, among these conditions
are noises, perpetual round Of hur-
ry and unending sequences Of Incl
dents exhausting the attention to
which are superadded the physical
discomforts of vitiated air and effiuvia
from human beings and waste organ
ic products, besides offensive gases
and infection-laden dust.
ITO attain old age we have to re-
lieve ourselves from worry, strains
and anxieties, withdraw periodically
from the whirl of effortful existence,
modify our diet, omit the use Of stim-
ulants and narcotics and spend rea-
sonably long periods of time under

Just Another Calf.-The new sena-
tor from New Hampshire, Henry F.
Hollis, told one the other evening at
a banquet, but was frank enough to
explain that he had got it at the NOV
ing picture show. 1t seems calf had
fallen into the ditch and above bel
lowing, stood the mother, says the
Washington Star
A kind man passing, pushed and
pulled the calf until it struck the
bank safely beside the cow. The ami
NAL went up to the man and began to
lick his coat.
That was the cows way Of express
ing it's gratitude" remarked a friend
to whom the man narrated the event.
Not at ALL" retorted the second
man standing near. "The cow just
naturally thought she was licking an
other calf"

Sold Again.-For' ten long but bliss
full years they had walked along the
path of love; but as yet the lovesick
youth had never mentioned about
their getting married, relates Tit-Bits.
Courtship is very charming; but when
there does not seem to be altar-rails
at the end Of it, girls naturally begin
to lose interest in the game.
Anyhow, Jane thought it time that
the marriage-day was fixed, so she
threw out a gentle hint to her lover
by way Of encouraging him. Encour-
agement, she thought, was all the dear
fellow wanted.
Nathaniel" she whispered, coyly,
they're saying we're going to be
married soon."
Are they, thought" answered the
stolid swain. What jolly sell it'll
be for them when they find out we
ain'tI"
