Democratic

Our genial, glorious and humorous
democracy alone could produce this
jest:
A young woman from abroad is
starting her conquest Of the country
by entering into domestic service with
a naughty East End family. She had
an afternoon off last Sunday and she
put on her finest fnery and paraded
down the street with another domes
sic, a friend, And as they were walk
ing along, talking of this and that
comparing experiences and notes and
other such things, the companion said
to her:
Look, Norah! There's the woman
you work for on the other side of the
street,"
Heavens, Maggie! hope she don't
see mel"
why? Are you afraid av yer
boss?"
mo, ye fool. But it would be just
like her to see this hat an go an get
one just like it,"

Chickens
ssssss isss

Il think it would be lovely to have
a few chickens" said Mrs. Bananding-
burg.
you think it would, eh?" retorted
Ballandingburg. "Well, l know it
wouldn't. When l was driving mail
wagon our folks had chickens. The
darned chickens persisted in riding on
the lead and the axles of the mail wag-
on and couldn't keep them off.
Il had to go to the depot at 8
o'clock in the morning while it was
still dark with the wagon loaded down
with chickens riding the bumpers and
the brake beams"
THAT shows how much you know
about chickens! When they once get
on roost you can't get them off by
any kind of pressure or show of force.
Those birds could ride all the way to
to the depot, where / would bang a
lot of mail into the wagon right over
their heads. Did it bother them? No
more than it would have bothered sea-
soned apartment dwellers | met seven
trains in the morning and mauled and
hauled all kinds of mail right over
their heads without rousing them from
their slumbers.
i used to feel like a fool when it
would begin to be daylight, driving
through the streets with q wagon load,
ed with mail above and a full passen-
ger list of rOosters and hens under
meath the wagon. People observed it
and made witty comments that |
didn't relish.
'"Those chickens would stay right
there until broad daylight. Then while
my wagon was standing at the post
office door they would see the plot of
green grass and begin to disembark,
get off their perch or whatever is right
for it, and they would make their way
over to the plot and begin to eat grass.
Although they never displayed a par
ticle Of excitement during the ride the
sight Of the grass at the postoffice al
ways occasioned a slight furry of en-
thusiasm.
After a struggle / would get them
gathered up and inside the wired wag-
on, all but one who always got away
and got back on his roost when /
wasn't looking and rode to the depot
with me until o'clock In that way
everybody who missed the early morn
ing show was able to witness the later
performance, and ] haven't heard the
last of it to this day
Chickens are full of such tricks.
This is only one sample of $50 different
outrages committed by those birds So
| know it isn't lovely to have chick

The poucI1nut

ooh, Mr.. Bryfogle, you are pessi-
mist!"
True" answered Bryfogle. "And
am proud Of it! Don't be shocked.
haven't started yet I wouldn't be one
Of your srinning, senseless optimists
for all the"
"But!" quoted Miss Minkin, "The
optimist sees the doughnut and the
pessimist sees the hole!'"
True" agreed Bryfogle, a second
time. That's an optimist's definition.
Leave it to the optimist to take the
doughnut and pass the pessimist the
hole every time!
But I think it is about right at that!
The pessfmist sees only the hole in the
d0ughnut Oh, wise and learned optim-
ist, how much better off you would
be if you, too, could see only the hole
But the optimist, having eyes that see
not wisely but too well, sees the dough-
nut and eats it.
"It is like this: The optimist and
the pessimist stand before the bake
shop of human experience. Then the
optimist, whistling blithely, his shoul-
ders thrown back, his head held high,
enters the shop and buys the dough-
nut The pessimist stands outside,
his hands in his pockets, his head
bent in thought He sees the optimist
enter the store. He sees the store
man put the doughnut into a bag and
hand it to the optimist. Then he sees
the optimist 60 merrily on his way.
presently the pessimist sees the
optimist begin to eat the doughnut!
Thereupon the pessimist phones to
the police to have the ambulance in
readiness that something is about to
take place
That's pessimism, Miss Minikin.
But how are you going to get along
without it?'
"Oh, I don't know" Miss Minkin
made answer People who are always
looking for ambulances are usually
the first ones to need them The
pessimist might have got run over by
q steam roller while he was dreaming
the man eating the doughnut. / am
going to have some of this cake-will
you try some?'
mot until I ask my wife if she is
going to eat any OF it,
"Why should you ask her?'
Because, if we both ate it who
would send for the ambulance?"

Mrs. Weddleson was desperate. For
five months she had been trying to
get a maid for general hoUseWork She
had become familiar figure in all the
intelligence OFFICES, she had worried
her friends by calling their girls to
the telephone and offering them in
ducements to enter her services, she
had complained so much that her hus-
band welcomed every chance he got
to go out on the road for week or
two, and she had publicly given it as
her opinion that something ought to
be done by the Government to compel
girls to accept positions in Kitchens,
whether they wished to or not.
Finally one morning a cheerful-look-
ing girl called to enter into a discus
sion concerning the matter that was
nearest to Ers. Weddleson's heart.
"HoW many of you are they in the
family?" the girl asked.

Second Chance

Il was very much surprised when l
met the second Mrs. Fla-squeezer,"
said Mrs. Plagtakit to her husband.
"She is SO different"
"a mans second matrimonial offense
is always different"
"But the first Mrs. Flatsqueezer was
such charming woman She had
such wonderful bronze-gold hair, she
was so slender and willowy, and her
hands were so cool and white and slim
her hands were poems! | think
every woman who knew her envied
her hands"
''Her husband had splendid hands
also"

"That is because you never played

''Yes, at holding poker hands He

member he used to say, in his mixed
quotation style: Lucky at cards, un-

"Well, he was lucky in love if any
man ever was!"
81 would not go as far as to say
that"
We'll, I would. 1t was her artistic
temperament which caused her to
elope with that artist. Mrs Flat
squeezer was an artist to her finger
tips. That woman could paint"
"And did"
beautiful pictures. The frames
alone of some of her pictures were
worth small fortunes. And she could
embroider beautifully. Her successor
Is just her opposite. | should think
that every time her husband sees her
he would think of her predecessor"
AZ guess he does. And then he looks
around for some one to buy a cigar
for"
"His first wife had such artistic
hands!"
"And his second wife has such artis.
tic biscuits!"
His first wife's hair was that rare
bronze-gold over which artists raye!"
''And his second wife's pies are that
golden brown in which epicures de-
light Flatsqueezer has lost that hunt

can dig into his pocket for car fare

ferent brands of liver regulator. OF
course we miss him at the club, but
you understand, our loss is our gain
-"
"You mean that your loss is his
gain"
"You never saw Flatsqueezer play
poker. His present wife has large,
capable freckled hands and home dis
position, but Flatsqueezer is well fed
and happy A man who gets second

William Waldorf Astor gave his younger son. John Jacob Astor, real estate in lower Manhattan valued at $7, 7,230, 0,000. Real estate men are in- clined to believe the transfer was made to enable the younger MT. Astor to escape payment of an inheritance tax later on. The property which changed hands includes the north end of the old Astor House, at Broadway and Barclay streets: the Real Estate exchange in Vessey street, with adja,- cent buildings; the Exchange Court building, at Broadway and Exchange place, and the Astor building, at 10 Wall street.

Pain Disappears and Swelling Vanishes
 in Few Days
 Rheuma-that is the name of the scientific prescription that is putting rheumatism out of business.
 Rheuma cures by driving the uric acid from the blood. It also acts di- rectly on the kidneys and is better for them than most so-called kidney cures.
 Says Samuel Powell of Geneva, Ky: For several years I was such a suf- ferer from rheumatism I could not straighten out my right arm or leg. After taking one bottle of Rheuma my limbs are supple and free from pain.''
 Gratifying relief comes in a day, be- cause Rheuma acts at one time on the kidneys, stomach, liver and blood. 50 cents a bottle of The Lee & Osgood Co. and all druggists.
