One Verse Wat Quite Sufficient, She
Coldly 8id.
A child-loving man was on his way
to Denver to transact eome important
business. During the afternoon be
noticed. In the opposite section ot the
Pullman, a sweet-faced, tired-appearing
woman, traveling with loor small
children. Feeling sorry for the moth
er, he soon made frier. ds with the l.t
tle ones.
Early the next morning ne heard
their eager questions behind the cur
tains of the berths, and the patient
"Yes, detr," of the ruo.hor as she
tried to dress them, and, looking out,
he saw a small white foot protruding
beyond the opposite curtain. Reach
ing across the aisle, he took hold of
the large toe and began to recite:
'This Hale pig went to market.
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig had a piece of roast
beef,
This little pig had none;
This little pig cried 'woe-wee all the
way home."
"How is tnat?" Inquired the eager
man.
Thou the foot was suddenly with
drawd and a coid, quiet voice said:
"1 should think it was quite suffi
cient." Not Used to the Water.
Lady tgiving a little advice) "And
alw ays be careful of your associates.
boy often becomes like those he
ssocitites with,"
1'Wlr.i onger's boy "Why, Tve bin
iv i i ti h all me life, and can't swim
a sL'yke."
Pity She's No more.
There was ao old-fashioned woman
---:-.o would blush if company caught
In- with less than six different kinds
of cuke aud seven different kinds of
preserves in the bouse. If a gueat
liked coflVe for supper, she thought It
was right that she should have It.
Her pies were always rich, and she
used lots of butter and cream. She
had never beard of the diet eure, and
believed in people eating just what
tin liked. Wbut a pity It Is that she
isn't alive, so we folks who are tired
of dieting could go and visit her.

I. DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT.
Here's the Tale of a Man Whe Hat
His Doubts.
Spurred on by newspaper taunts, pos
sibly, a plain-clothes man of the At
lanta police set out one day to de
tect violations of the Georgia prohibi
tion law. On Decatur street he met
an old negro whose appearance ha
considered "suspicious."
"Say, uncle," he whispered with
wink, "do you know where 1 can get
some whiskeyT"
"1 spec' maybe I kin git yer soma
sf yer gim me do money, " replied the
suBpected one.
"YVc.i, l.ere a two-dollar bill,'
said the plain-clolhet man. "I'll wait
In tbe alley hue. Now hurry bark.1
"Vcseah, 'boss, cf ye'll iea' bol' dlt
box er shoes fer me." and the polic
mar. had tbe I x under his arm b&
t'o:e ha kew t, while the darly
ihamb'.cd oft dona tho street, turmug
tbe nrt corner.
Thluk'cb- he was on a warm trail
ind would toou have an importaut
prisoner and witness "with tbe goods
on," the s'.euth waited in patience. An
hour went by. He was getting tired
Two hours. Still no sign of tbe mes
senger.
Weary and discouraged, he returned
to the police station. Suddenly he
-emeiubered the shoes under his arm,
and decided to have a took. The box
contained, carefully wrapped, a full
suart bo'tle of corn whiskey.
At Last a Confession.
"Tbat omelet," remarked the young
benedict to his wife as he rose from
breakfast "tbat omelet ia Just Ilka
my niotber used to make."
Tbe wife, who was the preparer of
the d:sb. looked delighted.
"Yes," continued the man, "it's Just
like mother used to make. Mother
ever could cook anything fit to eatl"

"It is really a pleasure, ma'am, to
observe how readily your little boy
runs your errands!"
"Oh, he's tbe boy thst lives next
loor. I get him to do my errands, be
cause my own boy won't!"
"Ah! What Is your boy doing nowf
"There be Is, rushing on an errand
tor the lady next door!" Lipplucott'a.
An Intelligent Statesman.
"What will we do when the trees
are destroyed?" asked the forestry
experts.
"I suppose," answered the serene
ly solemn atatesman, after some
'.bought, "that la such an event we
will be obliged to depend for wood
entirely on the lumber yards."
