Bellefonte, Pa., September 2, 1910. Didn't Like Publicity. In St. Louis the street numbers run 300 to the block. but the north and south streets hive names in- stead of numbers. So when a street car is running east and west and crosses the north and south streets the conductor says, “Jefferson—Twenty- gix,” or “Grand—Thirty-six,” as the case may be. A birthday party was riding on one of these cars a short time ago. When the car reached Sarah street and the conductor announced. *“Sarab—Forty- one,” a large woman in the party be gan beating a small man on the head with an umbrella. After the conductor had quieted the disturbance be asked the woman what the row was about. “Why,” she said indignantly. “just because 1 had my forty-first birthday party today in a nice. quiet. lady-like way there was no need of him telling you how old 1 am. #0 you could bawl it out to the whole car.”—Saturday Evening Post. Nature. As a fond mother, when the day is o'er, Leads by the hand her little child to Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leavo his broken playthings on the Bill Took Precautions. In a Scottish village a farm laborer named Bill Brown lost his wife. While on her deathbed she implored him to never marry again after she was gone. Furthermore. should he do so she would scratch through the ground and come back to punish him. The threat apparently had due effects for some months, the widower rejecting many tempting offers. After a time, however. the village got to whispering about Bill being seen walking with a certain lass. Met one day by a rela- tive of the wife, he was asked if there was any truth in the rumor that was about the village. to which he replied in the affirmative. “Are ye no afraid of poor Mary's threat?’ queried the relative. “Nae fear o' tbat, my lad. [I took good care to hae her berrit face doon- wards, so the mair she scratches the farther she'll gang doon.” He Watched Them. The following is one of the stories told about Eugene Fleld: There were visitors in prospect one afternoon in the Kield household and a strike in the culinary department Mischief was at flood tide, and Mrs. Field was vainly endeavoring to be everywhere at once wheu the man of “sharps and flats” appeared In the kitchen doorway with a folio in his hand. “Oh, won't you watch those pies for me while 1 run upstairs for an fin- stant?’ his wife exclaimed. ‘Be sure not to let the meringues scorch. It would ruin them. You'd better give me that book or they'll be burned to a crisp.” With mock meekness Mr. Field allowed her to carry off his treasure. On returning she was horrified to find the oven door wide open and rhe rich, fluffy meringue flat, tough and leather- ; like. “They're ruined!” she exclaimed in dismay. “Why didn't you keep the oven door shut?" “Keep the door shut!” Mr. Field re- peated in very genuine amazement. “Why. you told me to watch them every instant, and I'd like to know how 1 could do that with the oven door shut!" Not Risking Speed Laws. A well known amateur yachtsman of New York tells this joke on himself: With a few friends he started on a cruise by way of Long Island sound. They kept close to the shore, and, owing to the lack of wind and to the slowness of their boat, they were still drifting by familiar country a week or go after they left Gotham. At one point of land they passed a solemn individual sat fishing. For some hours the boat made virtually no progress, and after awhile the fisher- man roused himself sufficiently to ask: “Where are ye folks from?” “New York.” “How long out?” , “Since June 1.” Then after a pause the man asked: “What year ?'—Lippincott’s. He Called Her. A charming young lady who glories in the possession of a wealth of bright auburn colored hair is the teacher of a Sunday school class. On a recent Sabbath the rector made the announce- ment of a hymn to be sung and, ris- waved his hands, and the organ A COUNT’S PRANK. Delighted the Revelers, but Worried the Police of Stockholm. story of his latest prank is told in Eu- ropean newspapers. Count Gasta and some of his cronies had honored Rosenbad, a popular re- sort in Stockholm, with their patron age. and as a result some of the fur piture had been broken. an particu- lar, the covering of a fine sofa had been ripped and damaged. The man- ager of the resort remonstrated with the count and suggested the advisabil- ity of the latter paying for the damage. This the count agreed to do and vir- tually purchased the piece of furniture, receiving a receipt from the manager. | In a short time a singular procession was seen by night revelers in the park wending its way from the main res- taurant to the public road. Four sturdy messengers carried a sofa, on which reclined the count and his com- panions provided with napkins tied to their canes. Amid cheers the proces- sion left the grounds. It had not pro- ceeded far hefore a night policeman A NIGHT POLICEMAN HALTED THE PaA- RADERS. halted the paraders and demanded an explanation. The count said he was on his way home and had bought the sofa and that it was his property. The officer probably thought the ques- tion of propriety too important for ! him to decide and escorted the pris- oners, including the sofa, into the presence of the precinct captain. The count told his story and presented his receipt for the sofa's purchase. The captain verified these statements by telephoning to the restaurant propri- etor and advised his unwilling guests to go home, In less than an hour the captain was astonished to have the sofa and its retinue of attendants brought before him by another officer. The party was released a second time. The incident was repeated three times, and the cap- tain was becoming a fit subject for the madhouse when he had a brilliant idea. Four officers were ordered to march with the count. the sofa and the party to escort them home. Slowly the procession moved toward the shore. When a landing place was ~cached the count and his friends made a jump for the bridge. where a motor launch was in waiting. Amid the cheers of the crowd the launch sped away, leaving the officers to carry the sofa wearily back to the po- lice station. Caught the Train. General Botha. first premier of Unit- od South Africa, has a sense of humor. One of the flashes of comedy that lit up the tragic pages of the war oc- curred toward the end, when Kitchener and the Boer commander in chief were discussing terms of peace. There were several fruitless interviews before a working basis was agreed upon. At the end of one of these discussions Botha got zp @nd remarked: “Well, I'm afraid 1 really must be off.” “There's no hurry,” Kitchener an- swered pleasantly. ‘You haven't a train to catch, you know.” “But that's just what I have.” was Botha’s reply. Next morning the chief of staff report- ed a successful Boer raid on a British armored train on the Delagoa line, only a few miles off. Botha bad caught that train! He Got Square.
