Ernest Wanted Increase in Wages,
Though He Stood Ready to
Make a Concession.
Ernest was very big and very black,
and when it came to sleeping and eat
ing fully Justified his name. Ernest
did not fancy steady work, but he was
apt to be avaible when spring came
for odd jobs at a dollar a day and his
dinner.
One spring he came In with a sheep
ish griu.
"Miss Sally, I been hearin' In do
lodge meetin' 'bout deso hard times,
and I 'low I better raise my Bal'ry to
a dollar an' a quarter a day."
"You're not worth that, Ernest, and
you know it. Dusldes, I can't afford
to pay more."
Ernest scrutched his head; this was
matter for more thought than ho had
anticipated.
"I flggered out when doy wuz tnlkln'
'bout dem hard times dut I couldn't
'ford to work for no less. Hut" his
black face gleamed with a sudden
thought "I won' eat so much."

'CATCH' NOT SUCH A BAD ONE
8ome Method in "Madness" of Nice
Looking Old Man Pictured by
Representative Gartholdt.
Representative Bartholdt said at a
German-American banquet in Milwau
kee: "Those people remind m of the
old man. Yes, they remind me very
much of the old man.
"Me had a soft, daft look the old
man I'm speaking of and he sat on a
park bench In the sun wi,th rod and
line, as if he were fishing; but the
Hue, with a worm on the hook, dan
gled over a bed of bright primroses.
" 'Daft!' said a passer-by to himself.
'Daft. Ilughouse. ' Nice looking old
fellow, too. It's a pity.'
"Then, with ' a gentle smile, the
passer-by approached the old man and
said:
"'What are ycu doing, uncle?'
" 'fishing, sir,' answered the old
man, solemnly.
".'Klshlng, eh? Well, uncle, come
and have a drink.'
"The old man shouldered his rod
and followed the kindly stranger to
the corner saloon. There he regaled
himself with a large glass of dark
beer and a good five-cent cigar. His
host, contemplating him in a friendly,
protecting way as he sipped and
smoked, said:
" 'So you were fishing, unrle? And
how many have you caught this morn
ing?' "The old man blew a smoke cloud
toward the ceiling. Then, after a
pause, he said:
" 'You are the seventh, sir.' "
Made It Unanimous.
"Have you any militant suffragists in
Crimson Gulch?" "Nary," replied Bron
co Mob. "When the school teucher
dropped a hint as to how she'd like to
vote we'd have been glad of a chance
to shoot up anybody that 'ud Interfere
with her. Hut by common consent we
turned the polls over to her an' nil
stnyed away so's there wouldn't bo any
chance of her belli' embarrass? d."

Stand Mere Hugging.
Patience You know an Eskimo
maiden can stand more hugging than
we American girls.
Patrice I wonder why?
"Oh, the fact that Eskimos have
two more ribs thnn any other human
race has been discovered by an Eng
lish scientist." ,
What Worried Him.
"What made you so nervous while
you were carving the turkey, John?
You never were that way before."
"I Just happened to think that the
material I was knifing up so recklessly
was worth anywhere from 60 to 75
cents a pound."
Not Interesting.
"Millions of ger.ns can lodge on a
pin point," said the man. who Is al
ways getting excited about some
thing. "Well," replied Mr. Growcher, "It
doesn't concern me. I never encour
age anybody to swallow pins."
