All for a Piece of Bacon

A Hebrew went into a restau-
rant to get his dinner. He was
tempted to order bacon. He be-
lieved that if there was anything
that made Jehovah angry it was to
see somebody eating bacon; but he
thought: "Maybe He is too busy
watching sparrows and counting
hairs to notice me-" so he took a
slice. The weather was delightful
when he went into the restaurant,
but when he came out the sky was
overcast, the lightning leaped from
cloud to cloud, the earth trembled,
and it was dark. He went back in
to the restaurant, trembling with
fear, and, leaning over the counter,
said to the clerk, "Say, did you ever
hear, such fuss about little piece
of bacon?" E.g..-.z

He Got His Tip

The Southern negroes one finds
about the hotels are as good as
New York walters at exacting tips,
but the strangest example of tipp-
ing which I witnessed was on a lit
tie Indiana river ferry. A man
pulled out roll Of bills to pay
his fare, andsfhe wind twisted a So
bill out of his grasp. The bill went
overheard and half-dressed negro
deckhand went after it. The negro
was picked up with some difficulty,
and took the bill to its owner.
"You keep that for your homes
ty," said the man.
"You mean Use to get dis for my
honestly" the negro questioned.
The man nodded, but the negro
stood by expectantly. The man
looked at him for a moment and
then light dawned.
Reaching into his pocket, he
pulled out quarter saying, "And
here's something for your trouble"
And the negro had his tip and was
satisfied"

HE TOOK ADVANTAGE
OF THE SITUATION

1t is related that Horace Greeley
was a very poor scribe. A story
is told which illustrates this in
very graphic manner. 1t seems
that Mr.. Greeley once wrote man
in his employ a letter firing him.
A couple of years after Mr.. Greeley
met the man on the street and the
man asked if Mr.. Greeley remem-
bered him. Greeley said, "Aren't
you the man ! discharged by let
teri" The man replied, eyes Sir
Mr.. Greeley said, "You look pros
porous now; what have you been
doing?" The man replied, "Well,
sir, that letter you wrote me was so
poorly written that the only thing
legible was your signature so I
went out to California and used it
as letter Of recommendation. I
was successful in securing SPLEEN
did position"
Moral: This illustrates how adj
versity may sometimes be turned
into blessing.

Freezing In
Transit Causes
A Big Loss

Enormous losses are caused an
nually because large quantities of
fruits and vegetables are frozen in
transit. Last winter shippers of
apples in. three states-Oregon,
Washington and Idaho - filed
claims against railroads amounting
to over 100000 to cover losses
from freezing. To assist in re-
ducing such losses, the Bureau of
Markets, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has distribut-
ed as widely as possible informa-
ton relative to the proper methods
of loading and heating both refrig-
orator and ordinary box cars. Re-
Gently, as result of Investigations
the bureau has practically complet-
ed the design for heating equip
ment for use in connection with the
United States standard refrigerator
car, the specifications for which
were drawn up in this bureau. Ex-
periments have shown that a re-
frigerator car, equipped with this
heating system, will protect fruits
and vegetables from freezing, even
at a temperature of 40 degrees be-
low zero. Service tests, to adapt
this hating system to practical ev-
ery-day conditions, will be carried
on this winter. -... -.

These United States

A great many of our own people
delight in fostering the idea that
these little old United States face
dismal days ahead, and they've
been harping on this pessimistic
theory since the war ended.
Do you know that the United
population of the world and only
POPULATION of the world and only
z per cent of the land?
That the United States is the
richest country in the world?
That the bank deposits in the
United States exceed by billions the
combined bank deposits of the
whole world outside Of this coun-
try?
Before the war we owned other
nations $5,OOO,OOO,OOO. We have
not only paid this debt, but foreign
nations owe us $4,000, 100000 and
we hold the largest gold reserves of
any nation in the world.

HIS READY REASON

A distinguished cavalry leader
was once at dinner party, to
which he had been invited as the
guest of honor.
Beside him was loquacious wild
ow, with hair of raven black, who
rudely interrupted the conversation
by asking the warrior why it was
that his beard was still black
while his hair was turning gray.
With great politeness the old sol
der turned toward her.
81 fear / cannot give you sat
isfactory answer" he said, "unless
possibly the reason is that l have
used my brain little more than /
have my jaw"
