WANTED.
Somebody to tell me how to be cool
though warm, and how to have leisure
when busy. Suitable reward to the
first party giving me the above infor
mation.
These hot days, when you have
work that is just compelled to be
done, it is an easy thing to envy the
traveler about whom Senator Bever
idge spoke at a dinner in Indianapolis
some weeks ago:
“A traveler, on a freezing January
night, called at an inn, but found it
full.
“‘Well, landlord,’ he said, ‘I can’t
sleep out on the snow crust. You must
put. me up somehow.’
“ ‘I guess, then,’ said the landlord,
'we’ll make up a bed in the hall and
curtain it off for you.*
“Accordingly this was done. And
the traveler, under a rather thin blan
ket, fell asleep. But in the middle of
the night he awoke, freezing. An icy
draught blew through his hair and
mustache; it even lifted his thin blan
ket and swept over his bare limbs.
“The traveler rose. The sheet that
had been hung up as a partition had
come unfastened, and it was waving
merrily in the breese.
“‘Landlord’’ shouted the traveler.
‘Landlord! ’
' ‘‘‘What, is it?’ a voice answered.
“ ‘Landlord,’ said the traveler, ‘will
you please let me have a paper of
pins to lock my bedroom door with?’ ”

PINEY WOODS SKETCHES
Margaret Deberiy Upshalv.
THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT WORTH
WHILE.
"Coming up town this afternoon in
the elevated train, I sat opposite a
young man who was reading a mar
riage license,” said the gray-headed
man, according to the New York Sun.
“He looked very foolish. Nothing else
that a man can read makes him look
quite so idiotic as a marriage license
if it happens, of course, to be his own
license. That license belonged to the
young man. I saw him leave City
Hall with it. The young woman who
had a joint interest in the license
went into a big office building and
trusted him to take care of the doc
ument. He read it many times over.
At first he smiled, looked stupid but
happy.
“Pretty soon doubt chased the
smiles away. Trouble brooded in his
eyes, care wrinkled his forehead, his
chin lengthened. While he held the
license still unfolded with the left
hand, he figured on an envelope with
his right hand. I knew what those
figures represented. They were his
income. The more he figured the
more depressed the young man be
came. Waves of sympathy radiated
from me to him. I did some figuring
of my own on the margin of a mar
riage license about thirty years ago,
and no doubt I looked just as lugu
brious.
“Presently I hummed a few bars of
that old wedding tune, ‘lt is the Sweet-
The Golden Age for July 21, 1910.
est Story Ever Told.’ The young man
heard me. Suddenly his face lighted
up. He tore the envelope into bits,
and when he looked at the marriage
license again the smiles had returned.”
WHAT THE WAITER SAYS.
The waiter who bawls out the or
der to the cook in the kitchen may
soon be as extinct as the dodo; but
his cries should live forever.
“Mutton broth in a hurry,” says a
customer. “Baa-baa in the rain!
Make him run!” shouts the waiter.
“Beefsteak and onions,” says a
customer. “John Bull! Make him a
ginny!” shouts the waiter.
“Where’s my baked potato?” asks a
customer. “Mrs. Murphy in a seal
skin coat!” shouts the waiter.
“Two fried eggs. Don’t fry ’em too
hard,” says a customer. “Adam and
Eve in the Garden! Leave their
eyes open!” shouts the waiter.
“Poached eggs on toast,” says a
customer. “Bride and groom on a
raft in the middle of the ocean!”
shouts the waiter.
“Chicken croquettes,” says a cus
tomer. “Fowl ball!” shouts the wait
er.
“Hash,” says a customer. “Gen
tleman wants a chance!” shouts the
waiter. “I’ll have a hash too,” says
the next customer. “Another sport!”
shouts the waiter.
“Glass of milk,” says a customer.
“Let it rain!” shouts the waiter.
“Frankfurts and sauerkraut, good
and hot,” says a customer. “Fido,
Shep and a bale of hay!” shouts the
waiter; “and let ’em sizzle!”—New
York Evening Sun.
WEALTH.
A dozen of egs in the icebox,
A porterhouse over the fire,
A peck of potatoes and seven toma
toes —
What more can my sweetheart de
sire?
—New York Mail.
REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
Most any theory can be of interest
.to a man unless it’s sombody else’s.
A pretty girl has sense enough not
to need any to get along with men.
Some men can get along in the
world in spite of having gone through
college.
Just as a hard row gets easy by
hoeing on it, an easy one gets hard
if you don’t.
There are no lies in the world to
equal the lies of a man who sets out
to tell a womaai his past life. —New
York Press.
Case of Neglect. —“’Ave you ’card
about Abrahams? They’ve taken away
’is appendix.” “Ah, vot. a pity! Vy
didn’t ’e ’ave it in ’is vise’s name?” —
The Tatler.
