OBJECTED TO BEING BR0IkED
Holsters Emphatic Views on the Sub- ject Led to Change of Menu
 In Household.

A friend of mine Is very fond of lobster, but, like many men, has no idea how such food is prepared. His wife had occasion to be absent from home one day last week and she told the servant girl to broiI lobster for my friends dinner. She left a note, telling her husband of the treat she had provided for him and requesting him not to wait dinner for her. He was quite hungry when, he reached home and. after reading the note, said to the servant:
 ''Is that lobster readyw
 ''No, sir, it isn't" said the girl.
 '"'Well, hurry up with it. Pm as hungry as a bear," said he.
 q can't, sir" said the girl. 'The mistress said to brOil the lobster, and got him on the gridiron. after a deal of a fuss. The more poked the fire the more he walked off, and I thought the baste was haunted and no good would come from cooking a straddle bug like that"
 "What did you do with it?'' said my friend, getting mad.
 Faith the last I saw of him he was going out the back door with his tail up, like the maniac he was"
 He had sardines for dinner.-Judge.

MIR. JONES WALKED RIGHT BY
Little Incident May Have Cured Him of Habit of Loafing in That
 Grocery Store.

Mir. Jones (which Is not his true name) enjoys, above all else, an op- pOrtunity to loaf at the corner grO- cery. Just to sit on the counter and think and talk while his wife is hard at work at home and the grocer and his clerk are hard at work in the store is to Jones a privilege well worth while.
 But Mrs. Jones and the grocer thought differently. In fact the gro cer disapproves emphatically of any person just sitting when he should be working. One morning the grocer conceived brilliant idea. Just as MT. Jones was about to leap lightly to his seat on the counter the grocer slyly placed a sheet of fly paper, black with flies, on the spot where MT. Jones was to land.
 MT. Jones did not discover the fly paper until he politely slid from the counter in order to greet with his best bow a neighbOr woman. It is said he left the store thereon with such speed that the wind detached the fly paper from it's place on the seat of his trousers. When next seen Jones wore his Sunday best and he walked right by the grocery stOre.- Indianapolis News.

The Woman at service could not re- sist the temptation of watching a man on the opposite side of the church who had fallen asleep during the mid dle of the sermon. He did not snore or create any disturbance, and he looked so comfortable and peaceful that his neighborg smiled at each oth- CT indNlgently and did not rouse him.
 The Woman Speculated a little on how and when he would wake up. When she had worked it out to her own satisfaction she again bestowed her attention on the sermon, still keeping half an eye on the man asleep.
 At the close of the sermon, when the congregation knelt, the man evil dently sensed the stir around him as that of the audience departing. He stood up quickly, grabbed his hat and Overcoat and started to make his exit. Then he: did wake up.-Chicago Jour- nal

Fishermen Melted Submarine.

Some fishermen out in their boats near Hyeres made a catch that nearly ended one boat load, reports the Lon don Times correspondent at Paris. They caught a submarine in one of their nets. The boat to which the net was attached was in danger of being drawn under the water by an unseen and unknown monster, and, though frantic efforts were made to free the boat by cutting the net away, it mlgnl have gone badly with the crew if the commander of the submarine, wonder ing what he had run into, had not brought his vessel to the surface. The > boat was almost completely swamped by the sudden rise of the submarine, which had to rescue the crew and tow the boat into port.

The great detective scowled thought fully. "Jack and Jill," he read from the report before him, went up the hill to draw a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after"
 "Humph," said the master mind. '"That seems to be simple enough. A plain case. These two joyriders found their radiator getting hot while speed ing in a mountainous section. They tried to make a tough grade on low, but it was too much. Then the brakes refused to work. The man got panic stricken and stumbled out of the car on his dome. The bus kept on going down the slope and took the dame along with 1t. Both of 'em carried accident policies and the car was probably in sured, too. I advise both companies to suspend payment till the driver can prove he wasn't under the infu- ence."-Life.

Had a Riuht to .Lauuh.

Three years ago, when sleighing
 was good, I went to town with my brother in a dilapidated sleigh. We met another brother, who lived near US. and I told him that I would go home with him, as he had good sleigh and I wanted to make sure of getting there. We had gone only a short distance when in ascending a hill the sleigh broke down, letting us fall
 backward. A team hitched to a bob sled close behind nearly stepped on us. The man in the sled brought me home. My brother arrived home later without accident. Did he laugh at me? guess sO.-Chicago Journal.

Badgers live in burrows which they dig themselves and in some parts of the West these burrows are numerous in small areas. says the American Forestry Magazine. Although. they were all the work of badgers, many of them had been dug to secure gophers, prairie marmots, mice and other rodents, upon which they prey. These burrows, often covering several acres, are a source OfrzeOnstant annoyance and danger to travellers on horseback.
