His Identity.

 We met a man with the most as- toundinsly lugubrious cast of counte- nance that we had ever seen. Gloom sat on his brow like a brooding con- dor on her nest and an abysmal sad ness seemed devouring him.
 "Ah!" said we, i've perceive that you are celebrated wag, for. in sooth, we have never before in all of woes appointed ways beheld such personi- f1cation of wretchedness."
 "No," he replied, T am not humor- ist. I feel as sad as I look. I am Q pacifist, and believe that preparedness will inevitably bring on war;"
 "You do we'll to mourn your awful condition" we returned. 'If you were 8 humorist you might get over it. But you are dad-burned fool, and there is no help for you!"

GUM-CHEWING NOT POPULAR
American League Umpires Do Not En- gage in Mastieation Exercises
 While on Field.

There are no gum-chewing umpires in the American league; at least if they do indulge in mastication exer- cises on the field the movement of the jaws is too slight to be detected. Last year several National league arbiters outdid all the COWS in Christendom by the continuousness and emphasis of their cud-chewing; but maybe this sea- son they have reformed.

According to the report some eight

prove insufficient, however, there Is a
chance that the National guardsmen
will be next called upon.
