ner at hotel in that city at which
were a number of gentlemen interest
ed in various reforms. About the
most conspicuous of these was a mar
who talked loudly against both vivi
section and the eating of meat. H'
afforded great interest to a certain
obscure physician.
Toward the end of the dinner tho
latter leaned forward and said to the
man first mentioned:
pardon me, but am ! not to under
stand that you are both an anti-vivi-
sectionist and vegetarian ?"
"Your understanding is correct"
"Then," continued the doctor, "you
will probably be greatly shocked to
earn that you have just eaten live

vegetables.

to undertake the task of canning veg
etables and fruit.

The men of the fire department Of a
western town decided on the occasion
Of his birthday to present to their
chief a fine axe. Elaborate prepare
ton were made for the presentation
in ceremonial manner, and there was
to be a presentation speech. The elo-

er many hours of mental toll.
The hall was fag-draped when the
big day came. On the platform sat a
lot of firemen in full regalia. In the
seats sat the prominent citizens Of the
town with their families. After a
prayer by minister, piano selection
etc, came the presentation address.
The spokesman opened his mouth,
but words came not. He looked at the
chief, at the floor, at the ceiling, then
made wide gesture, gave gulp, and
said:
Here's your axe"
The chief, who had arisen, gave him
one look Of dumb CONSERVATION, and
rejoined:
Gosh! Is that the axe ?"
