WHY THE MACHINE STOPPED

A certain hotel proprietor hired n
big green Swede for a janitor. He
warned him that he must rise early
and begin work every morning at four
clock The second day the Swede
was an hour late, but gave the excuse
that he did not know what time it was,
as he had no watch. So the proprietor
gave him an alarm clock, showed him
how to set it and gave him a final
warning, "The next time you are late
I will fire you.''
All went well for week and then
Larson showed. up an hour late. His
boss Immediately fired him in spite of
his protests that the clock had stopped
and the alarm did not go off. Going
back to his room, Larsen dejectedly
examined the alarm clock, then took
it apart and found big dead cock
roach in the works. Rushing excited
ly down to his employer, he held out
the clock and exclaimed, emo wonder
the clock don't go-the engineer bane
dead"

rattoolna In Fill Islands.

1t used to be quite common in FIJI
and Samoa for man to bear upon his
arm or body certificate Of his birth
which was practically indelible.
Tattooing Is carried on In these is
lands to an absurd extent, and 1t Is
the practice to tattoo on the hand of
n mother the date Of her chidren's
births. Sometimes also an enthhslns-
tic fnther will tattoo the date OF the
birth on the child Itself. and. no mat
ter how long 1t lives, the certificate
will remain easily decipherable.
In some adjoining Islands every
child is tattooed almost from mend TO
foot upon Its completing Its twelfth
year. The result Is very remarkable.
especially II the child Is growing rap-
idly, 70 that the spaces between the
tattoo marks increase In size year by
year. sam
