 Jessie dotes on them, talks about them all day long while washing and Ldering the fQmiIy's linen, and sometimes wears them when hanging out the wash on the roof.
 But just how TesSie managed to wear so many different hats became 8 mystery. Her salary would never per init such extravaganza. None of the hars was a "hand me down" or made over. So there was nothing else to do but to put the question up to her.
 "Where do 1 buy nah hats?" she repeated "Why, don't buy 'em i; natchur gives lem to me-

ALL COMPETITION WAS A JOKE
He Thought He Could Dc Away With Chimney Sweeper,

A well-known judge in Ireland was very fond of relating the following story to his friends: It was at the time of a general election and one day when he was leaving the law courts. Dublin, a sweep accosted him and ad- dressed him with familiarity. "Be off, ys dirty scoundrel," said the judge 'T don't know you" Sure, that ye do. yer 'oner," replied the sweep. Eve never set eyes on you before" an swered his lordshIp. "Yis, ye have, yer 'oner. Oi swept yer 'Oner's chimneys." "Oh, it was you, was it2 I'll never en- pIoy you again." replied the judge. You did the work badly and they've smoked ever since. FH never have you again." "Oh, yes ye will, yer 'oner," replied the man. And I tell you I won't," angrily answered his lord ship. The sweep persisted that he would be employed again, so the judge asked why, saying there were plenty of other sweeps in Ireland. Sure, yer 'oner, all the other sweeps have be- come mimbers of parliament" was the reply-Chicago American.
