TALE OF A TIGHTWAD.
Every Man Should Take to Heart the
Moral It Points,
We once knew a man who was too
stingy to take the newspaper in his
home town and always went over to
borrow his neighbor's paper.
One evening he sent his son over to
borrow the paper, and while the son
was on the way he ran into a large
stand of bees, and in a few minutes his
face looked like a summer squash,
Hearing the agonized cries of the
son, the father mn to his assistance
and in doing so ran into a barbed wire
fence, cutting a handful of flesh from
his anatomy. and ruining a $4 pair of
frousers.
The old cow took advantage of the
hole in the fence, got Into the cornfield
and killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the stingy man’s
wife ran out of the house, upsetting a
four gallon churn full of cream Into a
basket of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. She slipped on the cream and
fell downstairs, breaking her leg and
a $19 set of false teeth. The baby,
left alone. crawled through the spilled
cream into the parlor and ruined a $40
parlor carpet. During the excitement
the daughter eloped with the hired
man, taking the family savings bank
with them.
The moral is that every man should
be a subscriber to hix home newspaper.

THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE.
That Was the First Order Founded In
This Country.
How many persons have ever heard
of the Order of the Golden Horseshoe,
the first order founded in America?
In 1724, when Virginia extended
from the Atlantic into the unknown
west. few of her colonists had crossed
the Blue Ridge or the Alleghanies. So
full of dangers from savages and wild
beasts and =o full of natural difficul-
tier was the passage of these terrible
heights that Governor Spotswood, set-
ting out to discover a pass, looked on
the expedition as so hazardous that he
took with him a guard of “soldiers,
gahitmisen and pioneers,” armed and
carrying provisions These scaled the
pass with great hardships and perils
and returned after the governor had
cut the name of King George in the
rocks on the highest peak.
He then constituted the society, or
order, of the Golden Horseshoe. Each
man who had scaled this high pass wis
made a member of it. and to each one
he presented an golden horseshoe, On
the side was Inscribed in Latin, “So It
Pleases Him to Cross Mountains.”
Any man thereafter who could prove
that he had read with his own eyes the
name of the king on the height was en-
titled to become a member of this or
der.—Chicago Record-Herald.
Economical Hand Bag.
“1 want you to see my lovely new
shopping bag.” said nn certain lady to
a caller the other afternoon. “My bus-
band gave it to me for my birthday,
and it's simply grand And it's so eco.
nomical! You see. you open this and
there are two compartments, and you
open the compartment on this side and
there is n little pocket in that, and you
open the little pocket and there is a
cute little pocketbook for change, with
one side partitioned off for street car
tickets.”
“1 see.” said the caller
do you call economical?
“Why. it takes so long to open all
the things and get to your street car
tickets that by the time you do who-
ever's with you has paid your fare.” —
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Reported Verbatim.
Very few speakers are precise and
accurate enough to stand well in an
absolutely verbatim report. 1 have
come uncross a verbatim report of a
wonderfui question addressed by Lord
Chief Justice Hyde to nan accused per-
son, writex “A Man of Kent" in the
British Weekly. [If any reader can
make head or tail of it 1 should like to
hear from him Here is the question:
“You took a fan in the dark by the
throat, that man that was guilty of
such a thing. ax when that you did
tet him go to call his companions to
bring the money. bring fellows to you
single: | would he glad to know wheth-
er in this case they would not have
knocked yon on the bead and killed
you.”
“But why
Running No Risk.
“What.” asks the maiden aunt, “go-
ing to marry that Mr. Newwun? Why,
you hardly know the man, Imogene. In
the few days you have been acquaint-
ed with bim you cannot possibly have
learned anything of his family or ante
cedents or habits or personal circum
stances.”
“That is true, Aunt Keturah. But
you have always told me that no wom-
an who knows aaything about a man
will marry him.”
A Genius.
“Oh, doctor, | feel so discouraged-
whooping cough, mensles, mumps and
croup, one after the other, and now
my child is ill agnin!™
“Why, the boy's a genius!”
“A genjus?’
“Yes—infinite capacity for taking
pains, you know.”—London Tit-Bits.
Soft,
“Should 2 man shave up or down?"
asked a youthful clerk, and the barber
replied with a grin:
“That depends. When | sheve you.
for 'nstance. | always shave down.”
