THE YANKEES AT OLYMPIA.
The hammer throw had been announced,
the bugles had been blown; the heavy
hammers flew and bounced, by mighty
giants thrown. “Who wins it?” cried
the eager throng. “Who captures this
event?” And the Irish entries came
along, retiring to their tent. ‘ ‘ A for
eigner has beaten us, ’ ’ they answered
with a groan; “a foreigner—United
States—a fellow named Malone. ’ ’ A
'dozen men were crouched to start, and
the starter fired the gun; and as a bow
projects a dart, the men were off to run.
“Who wins it?’.’ cried the eager crowd.
“Who captures this event?” And the
Gorman sprinters, sad and bowed, re
tired upon their tqnt. “A foreigner has
conquered us,” they said, and winced a
bit; “a foreigner—United States—his
name is Otto Schmidt. ’ ’ The hurdle race
was duly called, and the starter fired the
shot; and some there were were over
hauled, and some there were were not.
“Who wins it?” cried the multitude.
“Who wins the last event?” And the
Frenchmen beaten- and subdued, retired
upon their tent. “A foreigner out-
hurdled us, ’ ’ they said with little heart;
“a foreigner—United States—a man
named Bonaparte. ’ ’ The running jump
was on the card, anti men went high
aloft; and some men hit the island hard,
and others hit it soft. “Who wins it?”
cried the eager mass. “Who captures
this event?” And the Swedish jumpers
sadly passed, retiring on their tent. “A
foreigner has won, ’ ’ they said, * ‘ some
fellow from Wisconsin—“he yump like
sixty, and his name, his nnme ban Yonny
Yonson.' ’—Selected.
CONSULTED THE WRONG
MAN.
It was at a reception and the lady,
who had been reading up on health cul
ture, mistook Lawyer Williams for his
brother, the doctor.
“Is it better,” she asked confiden
tially, to lie on the right side or the
left?”
“Madam,” replied the lawyer, “if one
is on the right side it often isn’t neces
sary to lie at all. ’ ’—Nellie Walker, in
Success Magazine.
THAT NASTY LOOK.
Two London cabbies were glaring at
each other.
“Aw, wot’s the matter with you?”
demanded one.
“Nothink’s the matter with me.
Why?”
“You gave me a narsty look,” per
sisted the first.
“Me? Why, you certainly ’ave a
narsty look, but I didn’t give it to you. ’ ’

WORLD’S SEVEN WONDERS.
‘ ‘ I wonder where he gets his money. ’ ’
‘ ‘ I wonder how she can afford such
clothes. ’ ’
“I wonder if he is really in earnest.”
“I wonder if she will be sitting up
for me. • -
“I wonder if lie thinks nobody' sus
pects him. ’ ’
“I wonder if she thinks the powder
doesn’t show. ’ ’
“I wonder if he will ever propose.”—

“1 BELIEVE THEY CALLED
HIM MARK TWAIN.”
The following story comes from York
Harbor, Maine: “Say, yer know thet
litterary chap thet lied the Furness cot
tage up on the hill two years ago last
summer—Mark Twain, I b ’lieve they
called ’im. Gee! ye’d never think ter
look at ’im thet he could write books!
1 < Wal, he uster come over ter my house
an’ set fer hours to a time while I spun
yarns an’ told ’im abaout York folks
an’ things. Seemed ter be reel sociable
like—liked ter smoke an ’ talk and joke
with an’ old fool like me.
“Wal, one day he come ter me lookin’
kind o’ worried like, an’ his hair was all
ruffled up like he’d been aout in a stiff
nor ’caster, an ’ he sez, ‘ Cap ’ll Brooks,-
can you tell me if there is an osteopath
at the Harbor?’ ‘Wal,’ sez I, ‘the’
inebbe, but I ain’t never ketched one on
’em an ’ 1 ’ve been fisliin ’ here nigh onter
forty years. ’ He looked at me kind o ’
queer, an ’ then sed he guessed he’d go
up ter the drug-store an’ inquire.
‘ ‘ Wal, I went home an ’ told the old
woman abaout it, an’ she sez, ‘You big
fool, Jed Brooks, ’tain’t no fish; ’tis a
bird. ’ So then I went inter the best
room an ’ took daown the cyclopcdium
my boy Steve lied when he was ter Har
vard Colleg, an’ I’ll be durned if it
wan’t, no fish at all, nor bird neither, but
a new-fangled kind of a doctor!”
WAY TO WIN.
Bronson—“What’s the best way to
make love to a girl?”
Dawson—‘ ‘ The worst way possible.
Then she ’ll think you mean it. ’ ’—Puck.
CUTTING SARCASM OF A
WOMAN.
Joseph P. Sherer told a humorous “ex
perience” while “automobile riding,”
which, lie said, illustrates the sarcasm
which a woman is capanle of when oc
casion demands.
“We were going along at an awful
speed, ’ ’ lie said. ‘ ‘ I didn’t see the dog,
but 1 heard his ‘ki-yi, ’ so I ordered the
chauffeur to stop. Going back, we found
an irate lady standing over her dead
dog—one of the ugliest dogs you ever
saw.
‘ ‘ She met us with a tirade of remarks,
telling us in no uncertain terms what she
thought of us and automobilists in gen
eral, finishing up by calling us the mur
derers of her dog. It was then that I
thought 1 would pacify her.
“ ‘Madam,’ I said, ‘I will replace your
dog.’ ”
“ ‘Sir,’ she said in a freezing tone of
voice, ‘you flatter yourself.’ ”—Milwau
kee Sentinel.
A STUDENT OF HUMANITY.
(From the Brooklyn Citizen.)
Mrs. Carter and her cook were dis
cussing the murder which had harrowed
the dusky citizens of the countryside.
“Will dey hang him fer killin’ of his
wife, Miss Cyarter?”
“Wo can’t tell yet, Aunt Jinny. The
court will decide. Of course, if they
prove he did it on purpose—”
“Done it a purpose! Law, Miss
Cyarter, in course he kilt his wife a pur
pose! Honey, ain’t I done been mar
ried? Don’t I know men?”
