NATURAL HISTORY OF JOKES
Originally Twenty-Five In Number,
They Were Imported to This
Country From the Orient.
Jokes were first imported to this
country several hundred yenr« ngo
from Egypt, Babylon and Assyria, and
have since then grown and multiplied.
They are in extennive use in all parts
of the country, and an antidote for
thoughts are indispensable at all din
ner parties.
There were originally 25 Jokes, but
when this country was formed they
added a constitution, which Increased
the number to 26. These jokes have
married and Intermarried among
themselves and their children travel
from press to press.
Frequently in one week a Joke will
travel from New York to San Fran
cisco.
The Joke is no respecter of per
sons. Shameless and unconcerned,
he tells the story of his life over and
over again. Outside of the ballot box
he is the greatest repeater that we
have.
Jokes are of three kinds—plain, 11- j
lustrated and pointless. Frequently I
they are all three.
No Joke is without honor, except In '
its own country. Jokes form one of
four staples and employ an army of
workers who toll night and day to
turn out the often neatly finished 1
product. The Importation of Jukes,
while considerable, is not as as
it might, be, as the flavor is lost in 1
transit.
Jokes are used in the household as ;
an antiseptic. As scene breakers they j
have no equal.—Life.
FEATHER FOR CAP OF TEXAS
Unclaimed Package From That State
Sells for More Than Any Other,
Says the Auctioneer.
i
'lf Texas has room for any more [
feathers In her o«vp here Is one she ;
la entitled to wear," said the unclaim
ed baggage auctioneer. "In this lot
tery a trunk or suitcase that is stamp
ed r exas,' or with the name of any i
town that is known to be in Texas,
has its value aouNed and trebled In
the estimation of "''iers. Among
people who frequent these sales the i
opinion prevails that luggage that has I
been deserted by a Texan contain?,
property of greater value than that be- i
longing to a man from any other part
of the United States. Baggage comes j
into this room with Its contents abso- j
lutely unknown, and goes out that '
way, so the auctioneer has no means
of knowing whether Texas bargains
sustain their reputation, but the way I
people fight for them year alter year
indicate that they do.
"After Texas Ohio baggage is most
popular. New York hasn't much to
brag about In these grab-bag sales. The
Initials "N. Y." on a trunk did not
boost its value one cent. Apparently .
bidders are of the opinion that no
New Yorker is going to skip out leav- j
ing anything of value behind him, and |
they refuse to grow enthusiastic over
his baggage."
'Architects War on Skyscrapers.
The Pittsburg Architectural club Is
anxious that Pittsburg's sky-line in
the future shall not resemble a comb
which has been in use for many !
years; that is, a comb from which
many teeth have departed, leaving it ■
very irregular and broken up. The !
Architectural club believes that a sky- 1
line can become congested Just the |
same as a street. Tall buildings cause
this new kind of congestion and in- j
stead of adding to the city's beauty j
have a contrary effect.
The club has declared war on skyi 1
scrapers. Resolutions recommending
that a city ordinance be passed regu
lating the height of all buildipgs in
proportion to the width and impor
tance of the streets on which they ,
face have been adopted. The archi
tects declare I hat they appreciate the '
efforts now being made by the city
officials toward beautifying Pittsburg
and relieving congestion in the city
streets, but, in the opinion of the club,
tall ofllue buildings are detrimental to
this project.

"Well, she got him to putin a bridge

she kept it, of course, although It

up Mr. Ttniuore and asked him to
bring home some shoes and shirts for

CAMBRON COUNTY PRHSS, THURSDAY, MARCH 30. 1911.
TRAGEDY OF THE DEEP SEA
Old Aaron Bentsen, Sailmaker 0 f dark
Friedig, Fell Dead as He Talked
of Christmas in Port.
Two barks flying tho (lug of Nor
way sailed Into the oiling of Stapleton,
dropped anchor and shook out their
top-gallant sails to dry. One was the
little Freldig, coffee carrier from Java
and Sumatra, and the other the For
tuna from Madagascar.
In the last days of November the
Freldig found herself 250 miles to the
northwestward of Ilermuda, with the
pleasant prospect of celebrating
Christmas in New York. This was es
pecially pleasing to old Aaron Bent
sen, the sallmaker, who said: "At
New York I shall have letters from
the wife and my two boys." The sail-,
maker's home was in Grimstad, Nor*
way.
At this point in her trip the Freldig
had to lie head to the winds, which
came stronger and stronger. They,
grew into heavy gales, which rolled
over the deeply laden coffee carrier
day after day.
On the third day of the gale old
Aaron, at mess with his shipmates in
the forecastle, was smoking his pipe,
and said: "Yes, before Christmas we
shall be In New York, and then I shall
get my mail from Grimstad, and there
will be some gifts from the wife and
the boys.'
As he uttered the words he fell of?
the bench dead.
He was buried at sea next day while
the ship was still rolling and taking
the heaps of green and white over her,'
The captain read the Lutheran serv-i
Ice while the crew hung onto lifelines.

SIGNBOARDS ON THE SHOPS,
Rich Display of Painted and Sculptur
ed Emblems Relieved Mean Appear
ance of Old Boston's Streets.
The mean appearance of the houses
of old Boston (1784) was, to some ex
tent, relieved by the rich display of
painted and sculptured signs which
adorned the front of the taverns and
stores. The numbering of shops and
houses had not come into fashion, and
every business street was an endless
succession of golden balls, of blue
gloves, of crowns and scepters, dogs
and rainbows, elephants and horse
shoes. They served sometimes as ad
vertisements of the business, some
times merely as designations of the
shops which were indicated popularly
and in the newspapers by their signs.
The custom still lingers among the
glovemakers, bootmakers, opticians,
furriers and barbers. Hut we are ac
customed now to ro-ard the sign as
bearing a direct relation to the char
acter of the business It advertises.
We should never seek for eyeglasses
in a shop over whose entrance hangs
a gilt boot, nor inquire for gloves in
a shop before whose door stands an
Indian in war paint and feathers. One
hundred years ago no such relation
was understood to exist and it was
not thought remarkable that Phillip
Freeman should keep his famous book
store at the famous "Blue Glove" on
Union street.—From McMaster's His
tory of the American People.
Love Your Enemies.
There 1* an injunction in the Bible
that 1B often laughed at, and that Is,
"Lovo your enemies." It is thought
to be BO impracticable and transcen
dental as to be beyond the very dream
of human nature. And yet, there la
no axiom sounder than that injunc
tion. It is the very logic of good
sense. Think over the fruits of hatred
and see If there is one that you like.
Think over the fruits of love and see
If you don't like them all. The power
of love is as definite and calculable as
the power of steam or of electricity.
An argument based on hatred 1B
never an argument. One can never
hold a correct opinion of another un
less he loves him. He can never see
tho truth through the eyes of hate
He might as well try to see the white
light through a green glass. Love is
not simply a good-goody sentiment; It
is a reality as big as the atmosphere
or the sun. What there is of It, our
civilization is based on. if wo lose it,
humanity would dit-. ppear like the
pythons and megatheriums of old.
Old Custom Maintained.
One of the peculiarities of the aver
age Englishman is that he loves io
perpetuate the quaint custome of his
forefathers. The will hi* j„st been
proved at £ 144,631 of sir Henry Tlch
borne, of Tlch borne Park, Hants over
whose succe slot! to the Tiehborue es
tates and title the famous Thhborne
caso was fought A curious provision
in the will is that In which Sir U,. nry
desired that the lanilly custom should
be continued of distributing tt small
silver coin to every person present at
the funeral of a meuibur of the faui
lly, one coin for every year of ug.. of
deceased. The cu.-Loui also Includes
the distribution of 54 q isrtem loaves
to the poor of the district.

BARN DOOR WORTH SAVING
Farmer Dockridge Rescued It From
the Flame*, for It Bore Hl* Ac
counts for Six Year*.
Farmer Dockridge wan hastily awak
ened In the dead of night by Alf, the
■ farm servant, who told him the barn
was on fire Instructing Alf to blind
fold the horses and lead them out
through the bark door if there vai
time enough, he hurriedly donned his
trousers, rushed into the kitchen,
grabbed up a screw driver and ran
out to the barn.
The roof was burning fiercely, but
he dashed into the building and began
with frantir haste to unscrew the
hinges of the smooth pine door that
opened into the corn bin.
Alf had succeeded in getting the
horses out safely, and the sparks were
falling round the old man, but he
stuck to his task until he had finished
it, and emerged from the burning
barn carrying the door just as the
roof fell in.
"That's a good deal of risk to take
for the sake of saving a bit of fire
wood," commented a neighbor who
had been awakened by the flames and
had run over to see if he could be of
any use.
"Firewood!" exclaimed Farmer
Dockrldge, pointing to the pencil
marks that covered the door. "See
them Aggers? There's all my busi
ness accounts for the last six years.
That door's worth more than the
whole barn!" —London Telegraph.
SPEAKING VOICE IMPORTANT
When Its Correct Use Has Been
Learned the Development of the
Singer Is Easier.
Few singers, students, or even
teachers of singing, pay enough at
tention to the speaking voice. The
teacher and his pupil are together so
little—a brief half-hour or two each
week —and there are so many things
demanding attention that there seems
almost no time for consideration of
the speaking voice. Yet consistency
demands that a bad habit of voice use
in speech shall be corrected so that
the use of the voice in conversation
shall not retard the perfection of the
singing voice.
I am often asked if the process of
tone production is the same in speak
ing and singing. I answer that it
should be the same. When the voice
is correctly used in speech it will re
quire not. different, but merely ampli
fied treatment for singing. Unques
tionably the young person who has a
correct use of voice in speech will find
it less difficult to develop a good sing
ing voice, than one who has an incor
rect habit.
Deep breath control, pliable organs
of articulation, and full, or complete,
vowel pronunciation, are the funda
mental requisites of correct speech
and correct singing alike. When the
speaking voice of a singer is not so
produced, its use in conversation is
sure to retard the perfection of the
singing tone.
Dog'* Faithfulness.
The story of a dog's fidelity was
told when the coroner for North West
moreland (Eng.) held an inquest on
the body of William Wharton, a
Westmoreland old age pensioner, who
dropped down dead after recording hi*
vote in the Parliamentary election.
Wharton, who lived alone at Shap,
walked to Morland to vote, and set
ofT home again late at night. Next
morning half a dozen woodmen found
the body by the roadside in a gutter.
The old man's dog was lying over the
body and guarding it. The body bad
lain there all the night in stormy
weather. Information was given to
the police, but when an attempt was
made to touch the body the dog be
came so ferocious that no one dared
go near it, and before the dead man
could be removed the officers had to
send for the old man's neighbor, who
knew the dog, and succeeded in coax
ing it to quietness.
The Siamese Cat.
Siamese cats, with their curious
markings and loud, discordant voices,
are favorite pets.
In many respects these animals of
Siamese breed are unique among fel
ines. They follow their owners like
dogs; they are exceedingly affection
ate and insist upon attention, and
they mew loudly and constantly, as If
trying to talk. They have more vivac
ity and less dignity than usually falls
to the lot of eats.
In color they vary from pale fawn
through shades of brown to chocolate.
There are two varieties, the temple
cats and the palace the prlncl
pal difference between the two being
that the palace breed Is darker In
color.,
