Our BewiIdered Poultry

What is roost, dad?" asked Tommy
 "A roost, my son, is a pole upon which chickens sit at night" replied his father
 And what is perch, dad?"
 "A perch is what chickens perch on."
 "Then, l suppose, dad, q chicken could roost on perch ?" came the further inquiry.
 "Of course" was the smiling reply.
 And they could perch on roost?'
 "Why, y-e-s," answered dad.
 But if chickens perched on a roost, that would make the roost perch, wouldn't it? But if, just after some chickens had perched on roost and made it perch, some more chickens came along and roasted on the perch and made it a roost, then the roost would be perch and the perch would be g. roost, and some of the chickens would be perchers and the others would be roosters, and

Should Be Turned Lose
 To Avoid Annoyance to Officials

On the ground that a reign of terror exists at the state insane asylum, steps are being taken to have Vim. Faltin, the murderer recently commit ted to the institution, returned to the state prison at Florence. Three guards have been detailed to watch Faltin day and night and two attendants ac- company him on his daily walk. A number of the guards, it is under stood, have refused to attend Faltin on the ground that he is extremely dangerous and liable at any time to kill one of them in an attempt to escape. The board of control has asked the attorney general for an opinion as to whether Faltin can be kept at the state prison. In case he cannot he will be put in irons or a special cell with iron bars built for his use. There are no accommodations for the criminally insane at the state asy- lum.

Relief at Last

On an outback trip lately slept at intervals--in hotel, where the thin partitions of range of bed rooms stopped, like the stalls of a stable, halfway to the ceiling. And in the stilly watches of the night lay awake and listened to the finest de- monstration of plain and fancy snor- ing that it has ever been my fate to hear. It was no straight-ahead affair, robust, monotonous, but full of sud den, awful variations. Sometimes strangulation seemed imminent; then in the middle of fantasia the agony stopped suddenly, and there was silence. From far away down the stalls l heard voice exclaim, wearily, "Thank God! He's dead"

Tactful

Little Charlotte accompanied her mother to the home of an acquaint- ance, where a dinner dance was being given. When the desert course was reached the little girl was brought down and given place next to her mother at the table
 The hostess was woman much given to talking, and in relating some interesting incidents, quite forgot to give little Charlotte anything to eat.
 After some time had elapsed, Char lotte could bear it no longer. With the sobs rising in her throat, she held up her plate as high as she could and said:
 Docs anybody want clean plate ?"

In a Bad Fix

One dark night three friends were crossing deep, dry ravine, the banks of which were very precipitous. As the party had been imbiding a little too freely, one of the three had to be assisted up the incline. When, think ing him safe at the top, his friends turned him loose, he fell to the bot tom. He lay very still, and the other two, supposing him severely injured rushed down to him. As they leaned over to discover his condition, the fallen one exclaimed:
 "For Gods sake strike match! think I'm unconscious"

Action Limited

The legislature of a western state contains several women members. At a recent banquet they were invited to speak, but all with one accord began to make excuses, and one of the men was asked to represent them. He ac- cepted, saying that he was willing to act, so far as in him lay, but that his case was similar to that of naughty little girl who was told that if she didn't behave she would be shut up ir the chicken coop.
 "You can shut me up in the chicken coop if you want to-" replied she, Out I ain't going to lay any eggs"

A Trying Trial

A witty Irishman was once invited to large dinner party in Dublin in the hope that he would amuse and divert his hosts guests, but from the beginning to the end of the dinner he presented solemn and serious face. The host thought this very strange.

 "Try," was the cutting rejoinder.
