GOT RIGHT POINT OF VIEW
Autolst, When He Cooled Down, was
Able to See Where Traffic Police
man Was Correct.

The autoist was waiting for the cor
ner traffic man to give the signal to
make the turn at the corner. When
he thought he had been there long
enough he began footing his horn I'M
patiently. The traffic man kept on TAX
ing care of traffic. The autoist became
more inpatient with his horn.
"You won't help matters that way
my friend" said the traffic man, as he
waved him on.
"Aw, take me to JAIL but don't bawl
me OutW exclaimed the driver.
The policeman motioned him over to-
ward the curb. II could take your sug-
gestion, but I won't. You are angry
now, but when you cool off you Will
understand that the corner man has
many problems to contend WITH" said
the policeman. 1--WE do not usually
make explanations, but I am doing 80
in this case, because think you should
realize that you are in the wrong"
The autoist drove on, mumbling. A
few days later he stopped in the same
place. "Say." he said to the police
man, II made a fool out of myself the
other day. had no right to be angry.
You fellows have enough vexations
without some one who goes across your
corner once day adding to them by
smart remarks"
The policeman smiled and waved
him on. That autOist today probably
would fight for the corner man If nee

her hand all the time"
looked at it in amazement. 1t was
my own criticism of Il production of
LAS You Like It," which had been
staged the week before. One para
graph was marked with blue pencil
and read as follows:
The fashionable audience which assem-
bled to see Miss Langland as Rosalind was
obviously disappointed when the manage
ment announced that Miss Langland was
indisposed and that her understudy would
play the part. Before the first act was
over, however, the discriminating ones in
front knew that they had been present at
| the birth of new star. The manage
| ment need never again offer excuses for
presenting Miss Vida Dunmore as Rosa
lind The public had never dreamed that
Rosalind could be as physically perfect as
Miss Dunmore made us see her. Shake
speare could never have written the part
had he seen Miss Dunmores figure. He
would have known that Rosalind in tights
could not for an instant deceive Orlando
as to her sex.
| 1t is impossible to say more than that
the part and the boots have never been
more perfectly filed. Miss Dunmore comes
| from a famous theatrical family, and nei-
| ther her Cousin Ethel nor her Uncle Jack
need fear that the family laurels will fade
| in Miss Dunmores possession. Her voice
has the soft note Of the thrush which
seems too sweet to be heard by an en-
! tire audience.

or,v One Hoo Had Dollar.

A fat hog at the Omaha stock yards
coughed up Il dollar when Snuff"
Smith, an employee Of commission
company, kicked it in the head. The
hog was trying to run past him when
he wanted it to go the other way. He
gave it a vigorous kick. 1t coughed,
gagged, sputtered a moment and then
spat up the dollar.
Stockyard men throughout the rest
of the day had lot of fun about the
incident. The commission company
claimed the dollar. Smith claimed 1t.
The owner of the hog claimed it, and
rs a result Smith spent it for cigars
for the crowd.
A lot of the employees in the yards
began TO kick hogs right and left in the
hope of shaking out another dollar.
One employee said he had kicked 612
hogs during the day and hadn't got
even a jitney.

Tunnel Would Pay for Itself.

It has been proposed to construct a
railway tunnel under the Firth OF
Forth, Scotland. paralleling the famous
bridge now spanning that body OF
water, and to pay for the tunnel by
making it largely coal mining prop
osition. Mining engineers point out
that coal is now being mined on both
sides of the firth from the same seams
and that much Of this excavating Is
done under water. At this point the
estuary is only about two miles wide
and it is contended that continuous
passage could be made beneath it by
properly co-ordinating the mining Op
erations. In this way what would
otherwise probably prove to be toC
costly an improvement could be made
with proht.-Popular Mechanics.
