Death Certificates For Dogs.
The veterinarian was bandaging the
leg of a French poodle when the tele
| phone rang, so he asked the visitor to
take the message.
"IMease tell the doctor," said a wo
man at the other end of the wire. "thai-
King Cliarles is dead and we would
like a death certificate right away."
The visitor transmitted the news of
royalty demise, then added something
about the "tomfoolery of getting a
death certificate for a dog."
"It may be tomfoolery," said the
, veterinarian, "but a lot of people with
pet cats and dogs are guilty of it. If
n real King Charles was dead and I
was making out a certificate to file
with the board of health I sli »uld take
no mure pains than I shall for that
family that has lost a dog. llis age
and tl>' .ate of death will be recorded,
ji•- iLie disease that carried him off
will be described in detail. Of course
the owners of valuable animals are
most likely to ask for death certifi
cates, but very often the possessor of
an ugly little cur that has crept into
his nf ,v "*.' ns wp .ts one too." —New
York Sun.
How to Hit.
Witli one swift, straight right to the
jaw the little man had knocked the
big, fsit bully out completely. Now he
was boasting modestlv about the mat
ter.
"1 learned how to hit," he said,
"from Gentleman Jim Corbett. Gen
tleman Jim claims that iu street light
ing if you land one clean right you
win. Hut few men know how to hit
out straight and clean. They swing.
And a swing i.< no g>.- .d because It can
s<> easily lie dodged.
"To hit "lit with tl(e right :--tra'-.:!»t

to do it. *i <u 112 lop forward with y.> lr

"T' it is ho v to land a straight right.

Why He Gave Nothing.
"I've encountered many an excuse
for 'sidestepping' the collection basket
in church," remarked a Jersey com
muter, "but the prize excuse came to
me last Sunday out iu our town. Next
to me in church sat an acquaintance
who hud taken out a dollar bill, but
when lie saw the collector was a sub
stitute for the regular brother he put
the money back in his pocket. I taxed
him with it good naturally on the
way out, and he was very frank.
" 'You needn't publish it,' said lie.
'but 1 know that man pretty well.
Now, I happen to < we him s<">. and
he's dunning me unnece sarily for it.
I know him so well that I know if I
put that dollar bill In the basket he'd
fun I a way to abstract it and pocket it
as part of what I owe him. And he'd
the way h-Vs built, don't y- u see.'"—

Rebuking a Greenhorn.
A whist expert discussed at a dinner
tin: e overconfident and foolish per
sons who think they can learn whist
in a year or two.
"Such per*--- us should be called to
order." the expert said sternly. "I for
one am always glad to see them called
to order. A young greenhorn stood
behind my partner during a game one
night. At the end of the hand the
greenhorn said:
" 'Why didn't you lead hearts?
That's what I'd have done.'
"My partner smiled and answered:
" 'All, but y my young friend,
have the world before you and none
but yourself to consider. You have no
wife and family dependent on you for
i bread, ami if you lose heavily no one
suffers but yourself. With me it is
different; hence I led spades.' "
Necessity of Air Baths.
The conditions and conventions of
our civilization demand frequent bath
ing. Any one suspected of avoiding a
dally bath would quickly find himself
persona non grata in decent society.
It is popularly supposed that frequent
bathing is essential to health. This is
quite untrue. Much of the benefit at
tributed to the water is in reality due
to the complete exposure of the skin
lo the air. The respiratory function
I of the skin is of high importance, and,
although water may be dispensed
j with, closing the pores to air would
result in speedy asphyxiation.—New
York Medical Journal.
A Dreaded Contingency.
A young girl of fourteen was taking
a trip on Lake Michigan in a small
steamer. The lake was somewhat
rough, and many were seasick. The
girl sat in the bow and was unusually
- quiet for her. "Are you feeling sick,
' daughter?" inquired her father. "No;
» I don't think I am sick, but I should
t hate to yawn."—Life.
\ Blocking Him.
{ "Say, old man," began Borroughs,
{ "lend me your ear for awhile, will
112 you ?"
( "My friend." replied Wise, shrewdly
> suspecting a touch, "I'd gladly lend
J you both of them; then I wouldn't be
> able to hear you ask me to lend you
\ i anything else." —Catholic Standard and
j> Times.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1909.
How He Paid His Fine.
Pat Kelly, the owner of the only
Jaunting car iu the village, went on a
spree and was sentenced to a tine of
20 shillings or seven days in jail. Kel
ly chose the latter.
Now, the prison was ten miles away,
and (he oul.\ possible means of gelling
tt prisoner there was by driving. As
Kelly himself had the only car iu tin
place, there was nothing to do but t«>
hire it. For some time the constable
anil Ills prisoner haggled over lite
terms.
Kelly stuck out firmly for 30 shil I
lings, to be paid in advance, and at 1
last the constable had to consent to j
the extortion. Accordingly lltey drove
oil and without any misadventures ar
rived at the prison. When Uiey had
alighted Kelly sudden' ' formed his
'. oinpanion that he had changed his
tniiul, as the prison wasn't a decent 1
looking place, and v.onld pay the line. |
lie thereupon ur-w out the no shil-|
lings he had received, counted out the j
•JO shillings and paid them over to the
inspector. Then, jumping on his car,
he drove away, leaving the constable
to walk back.
A House In Pompeii.
In the exhumation of l'ompeii one
house was discovered which was evi
dently being repaired when the vol
canic storm that overwhelmed the city
hurled it to the ground. Painters, dec
orators and cleaners must have been
busy at the very moment of the catas
trophe I'ainti" and brushes
and workmen's tools were scattered
all over the house. T.-i tale spots of

Whitifield on Lovo ."itl Marriage.
George Whitelicld. the most persua
sive preacher Kugiand has prcduceci,
who died on Sept. 30, 1770, could .ap
peal so powerfully to the emotions
that he once enticed all the money
from the pock 112 the prudent Prank
liti. Vet lie strangely anticipated sou
modern unromantic views on the sub
ject of marriage. In 1740 he applied to
the parents of a young lady for the
hand of their daughter, adding, "If 1
know anything of my own heart 1 am
free from that foolish passion which
the world calls love."
Wl 1 at this prosaic proposal was de
clined the undaunted Whitelield . ir
ricd an elderly Welsh widow "neither
rich nor beautiful." This "merry wid

zette.
Catching Monkeys.
Ringtailii' monkeys, which rank!
among the most valuable, commercial- j
ly speaking, of the small animals, aro
caught iu an interesting way. A co
eoanut is split in two and a banana
with a piece <>f wood running through
it placed lengthwise through the nut,
the two halves of which are drawn
together by wires. Then a hole is cut
just large enough for the monkey's
paw to enter. The monkey spies t v
tempting nut from his tree. lie hops
down, looks it over, sees the hole and
smells the banana inside. He is fond
of bananas. Putting his paw iu. lie
grasps it, but the wood prevents it
from coming out. Then the catchers
appear, and the monkey runs for a
tree. But he cannot climb because of
the cocoanut on his paw, and he will
not let goof that, so he is captured,
pawing wildly at the tree trunk.
The Experiment Failed.
When a small boy mentioned in
Short Stories grows up the scientific
curiosity ho displayed may be a valu
able possession. Meanwhile his moth
er objects to it.
"Ma," remarked the boy, "isn't it
funny that everybody calls little broth
er a bouncing baby?"
"Why do you think it's funny, Wil
liam?" asked his mother.
"Because when 1 dropped him off
the porch this morning he didn't
bounce a bit; he just hollered."
How Toucans Roost.
Nothing could be more eccentric to
our eyes than the way in which tou
cans goto roost. The bird does not
"tuck its head under its wing, poor
tiling!" and so settle down, but packs
itself up in most orderly fashion. The
tail is turned forward over the back,
in the soft feathers of which the gi
gantic bill is hidden. Then the tail
shuts down, till semblance of a bird is
lost, and one can see nothing but a
ball of feathers.—London Standard.
Brother Mistake.
"Brother Good sole," asked the Rev.
IC. Mowatt LaightLv, "di<l you an
nounce last Sunday that I would oc
cupy your pulpit this morning?"
"Indeed, 1 did. Brother Laightly."
"Vet look at the smalluess of the
congregation. 1 can't account for it."
—Chicago Tribune.
Her Unfashionable Figure.
Emma—l must go right away to a ]
cure in Marienbad.
"Indeed! What doctor ordered that?"
"No doctor—my dressmaker."—KUe
gende Blatter.
Punishment is a cripple, but lie ar
rives.—Spanish Proverb.
Science Now and Then.
In the earliest ages science was
poetry, as In the latter poetry has be
come science.—Lowell.
Not Even for Riches.
Even when a woman thinks she Is
worth her weight in gold she would
hate to get too stout. —Philadelphia
