It Is agreed on nil sides tli.it as a rule humorous advertisements are to be avoided. Business is business, and the businesslike ad. is tLie one that counts. Nevertheless it is interesting to come upon an odd, amusing or out of the ordinary specimen -for instance, that of the photographer who made a spe cialty of baby photographs. Ilis ad vertisement read: "Bring your dear little babies. If they don't sit still 1 won't get cross. I was a baby once myself." What is especially rare Is to find an advertiser who will exhibit any candor about the negative (jualities of his goods. It is all the more refreshing, then, to peruse the announcement of an Innkeeper In one of the smaller Hates who was evidently burning with t desire to tell the exact truth about his establishment: "Not the largest hotel In the town, not newly furnished throughout, no free bus to train, not the best grub the market affords, but simply clean beds and good f00d,25 cents to sleep, "J."i cents to eat. Toothpicks and Ice water thrown In. Try us. Pay up. And if not satisfied keep mum!"— London An swers. The Forbidden Fruit. The botanical curiosities of the is land of Ceylon are replete with varied Interest. One of them Is "the forbid den fruit." or "Eve's apple tree." its native name Is dlwl kadura, kadura signifying "forbidden" and dlwl "ti gers." The flower of this extraordi nary production Is said to emit a fine scent. The color of the fruit, which hangs from the branches In a very pe culiar and striking manner, Is very beautiful, being orange on the outside and a deep crimson within. The fruit itself presents the appearance of hav ing had a piece bitten out of It. This circumstance, together with the fact of Its being a deadly poison, led the Mohammedans on their first discovery of Ceylon, which they assigned as the site of paradise, to represent it as the forbidden fruit of the garden of Eden, for, although the finest and most tempting in appearance of any, it had been impressed, such was their idea, with the mark of Eve's having bitten it to warn men from meddling with a substance possessing such noxious properties. Grief That Kills. "My poor boy," said the beneficent old clergyman, who had encountered a young waif sobbing in the streets, "what ails you? Some case of dire distress has touched your heart chords no doubt." "No," sniffed the lad; "you're clear off your base, old kazoozicks. Me an' Snippy an' de rest of de fellies tin canned the mangy old yellow cur ir> at Schwartz's grocery, an' while old Schwartz an' de gang followed de dog I sneaked back to de grocery to swipe dried apples. De Pldo chased into Schmltt's orchard, an' do gang cribbed de swellest peaches you ever seen, an' den dey smoked grapevine cigarettes and set the barn afire. I made a sashay Into de apple barrel at de grocery, an' de delivery boy pasted me with a l>ed slat, an' It hurts yet, an' I didn't get to see de fire an' didn't get nothin' to eat, an' I wlsht I wuz dead—doggone It all!" Bohemian Mag azine. His Advice. A young genius named McCarthy went to Commodore Vanderbllt and gave him a suggestion which led the commodore to organize all the little rallroivds between Now York and Chi cago Into one. Before McCarthy went to Vanderbllt he went to a friend for advice. Hero Is what his friend told him about the commodore: "Don't let him scare ye. He's as full of power as a turbine. Has a good deal o' whir in him. Dikes re sistance; so does every great force. He's fought a thousand difficulties. He'll take you for another an' pitch into ye, like as not Don't let him scare ye. If he jumps on ye. Jump on him. He'll enjoy It an' begin to re spect ye. It's like putttn' a belt on the turbine—you'll take off a bit of his power and ease him down."—Denver News. The Crimean Crime. Kinglake was all for war. "ne used to say," says Mme. Novikoff, "that peace would emasculate the world. 'Besides,' he continued, 'population when too dense Is not at Its best.' " He did not like Bright. Mme. Novikoff told Kinglake one day that Bright had made a curious remark about the Crimean statue in Pail Mall. "The in scription," he had said, "should be al tered. The 'a' should be put before the world 'crime' and not ut the end."— London Standard. C \ME RON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1909. She Followed Instructions. In u certain city, which shall be J nameless, a literary man had asked : his wife as she was starting down- I town to buy a couple of shirts for him. j She asked him what kind, and he an swered, "Size 15." "Yes, but"— "Two dollars." "But 1 want to know" — "Ob, the color? Well, I've plenty of j white shirts. (Jt-t me something that | won't show soot. Now, don't bother I me any more, please. I'm at work." She did not bother him any more. She went away and in the afternoon returned with her purchases. "Here are your shirts, John," she said, laying them down before him. "Why, they are coal black, Lucinda!" J he exclaimed. "Yes, that's the only kind that won't j show soot. They are just what you | told me to buy. Now, don't bother me | by talking about them. 1 have got to j go and look after the children." Being "game," John took his modi- , cine without protest.—Youth's Com- j panion. A Just Rebuke. "I am," he said, "deformed. Pads j hide it. Still, deformed I am, and I j want to know why writers always j make deformed persons villains? Take I Quasimodo in Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame.' Why, Quasimodo was little | better than a wild gorilla, swinging j from tho great bell and hurling the priest down from the high tower. Take the housemaid's clubfoot father j In Ibsen's 'Ghosts.' There was a nasty old man for you—a nasty, perverse, evil minded old rooster, eh? Take Dick Crookback In the Immortal William's play. Take Nosey the Dwarf in Ilauff's classic fairy tale. Take the villains in all fairy tales, for that mat ter. They are a one eyed, lame, hunch backed, clubfooted lot. "It makes us deformed folks red hot, this literary imputation of villainy. It causes people to think we really are villains. Where's the child, after a course of fairy tales, that can be per suaded a hunchback's soul doesn't match his body?" Cincinnati En quirer. Danger In Ey« Poultices. Do not poultice an eye in any cir cumstances whatever. Binding a wet application over an eye for several hours must damage that eye, the as sertions of those professing to have personal experience in this to the con trary notwithstanding. The failure to aggravate an existing trouble by bind ing a moist application over an lnflaro ed eye, which application Is supposed to remain for an entire night, can only be explained by the supposition that a guardian angel has watched over that misguided case and has displaced the poultice before it had got in its fine work. All oculists condemn the poul tice absolutely, in every shape and in every form. Tea leaves, bread and milk, raw oysters, scraped beef, scrap ed raw turnip or raw potato and the medley of other similar remedies popu larly recommended are one and all ca pable of producing irremediable dam age to the integrity of the tissues of the visual organ.—Family Doctor. Eccentric Coynt Bertrand. Count Bertrand, who lived in Paris, was a very eccentric man, and to one of his eccentricities ho ascribed his long life. Once a year he would be take himself to bed and stay there for three months. On these occasions he would see no one but his servant, who brought him ills meals, and even him he forbade to speak. Just before the Germans began the siege of Paris the count went to bed, and the servant, true to his Injunctions, said nothing of tho events going on around him. One day tho bread proved so bad the count demanded an explanation, whereby, of course, ho learned that Paris was en compassed by the enemy. Springing out of bed, the count paced the floor, repeating, "What should a Bertrand do under such circumstances?" Sud denly he stopped, exclaiming, "We should goto bed!" and to bed he went and stayed there until the siege was over. Willie Objects. Among the representatives in con gress is one whose lack of personal comeliness is the basis of personal banter from his facetiously inclined colleagues. "Why, Willie," said one of them to the four-year-old son of the congress man, "how much you resemble your father!" "Yes, sir," responded Willie, with an air of resignation. "Everybody says that, but I don't think I deserve it."— Lippincott's Magazine. Getting a Start. "Did you secure tickets for the play, hubby?" Inquired the New York wife. "I hear they are In demand." "They are, but I managed to get Beats for two months from tonight. And, by the way"— "Well?" "You might begin to get ready now." —Kansas City Journal. The Annual Rooter. "Do you know the difference be tween an optimist and a pessimist?" "Yes, Indeed," answered young Mrs Torklns. "All I have to do to see the difference is to observe Charley at the beginning and at the end of a baseball season."—Washington Star. The Unhonored Prophet. A visitor to Carlyle's birthplace back in the seventies said to a native: "Smart man. that Thomas Carlyle." The native grunted. "Him smart? Why. I went to skule wi' him." The soul is the perceiver and rcveal er of truth.—Emerson. Hand Cut. Chemist Makaroff, at Keystone Powder Company's laboratory, severe ly cut his left hand this morning on a j broken bottle.
