Grandma’s Telephone Visits
GRANDMA SMITH is a sprightly old
lady who likes to keep in touch with
things. In the next town lives another
dear old lady who was Grandma’s school
mate, and of whom she is very fond. It is
impossible for the two old ladies to do
much visiting, but every day they call each
other up on the telephone and have the
most delightful chats.
No one gets more comfort and pleasure
out of the family telephnoe than Grandma.

An Appropriate Name.
Aunt Liza’s former mistress was
talking to her one morning, when
suddenly she discovered a little pick
aninny standing shyly behind his
mother’s skirts. “Is this your boy,
Aunt Liza?” she asked.
“Yes, Miss, dat’s Prescription.”
“Goodness, what a funny name,
Auntie, for a child! How in the
world did you happen to call him
that?”
“Ah simply calls him dat becuz
Ahhas sech hard wuk gettin’ him

Not So Slow After All.
At one time a German university de
veloped the mania for conferring hon
orary degrees, and a Scottish doctor
named MacTavish. who had obtained
his degree by diligent labor, became
disgusted. He sent a polite letter to
the faculty, asking them to bestow a
degree upon his servant The doctor
was a great man, and the jocose na
ture of the request was not suspected,
so the parchment was accordingly sent
him.
After acknowledging its receipt, the
physician added that, since they were
so kind as to give his servant a de
gree, it would add to his obligation if
they would confer one upon his favor
ite horse. But the faculty, the joke
once fairly scented, rose to the occa
sion.
“We are obliged,” they wrote, “re
spectfully to decline granting so dis
tinguished a favor. We have search
ed the college records for a precedent,
but the only one to be found lies in
the fact that some years ago a degree
was conferred upon an ass named Mac-
Tavish.”— Lippincott’s.
Service.
The sweetest lives are those to duty wed.
Whose deeds, both great and sntall.
Are close knit strands of an urroroken
thread.
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpet, ring no
bells;
The book of life the shining record tells.
Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes.
After its own life working. A child's kiss
Set on thy singing lips shall make thee
glad;
A sick man helped by thee shall make
thee strong;
Thou shalt be served thyself by every
sense
Os service which thou renderest.

Got Real Nervy.
Before the passage of the present
strict banking laws in one of our new
er states starting a bank was a com
paratively simple proposition. The sur
prisingly small amount of capital need
ed is well illustrated by the story a
prosperous country town banker told
on himself when asked bow be happen
ed to enter the banking business:
“Well,” be said, “I didn’t have much
else to do. so I rented an empty store
building and painted “bank” on the
window. The first day I was open for
business a man came in and deposited
SIOO with me, the second day another
man dropped in and deposited $250,
and so, by George, along about the
third day I got confidence enough in
the bank to put in SIOO myself!”—Ev

Between Two Baths.
A Missouri official returned in very
moderate circumstances to his home
town after a long career in office. His
fellow townsmen thought to buy a
house and present it to him.
The Missouri statesman was noted
for his ability to keep on the fence. He
never took a positive stand on any
thing, but leaned one way and then an
other and compromised by remaining
on the tight wire.
The committee went to look at a
house. It was a good house, with plen
ty of rooms and two bathrooms. All
were pleased except one man. who said
nothing.
“How about it, Bill?” the other com
mitteemen asked. “Do you think this
house is all right?”
“Nope,” replied Bill. “It’s insani
tary.”
“Insanitary? Why. man, you’re crazy!
It has good plumbing and two bath
rooms."
“That’s jest it,” said Bill. “Them
two bathrooms is what I don’t like.
He’d never get to take a bath with two
bathrooms in the house, because he
couldn’t decide to use one without be
in’ afraid he’d hurt the feelin’s of the
other.”—Saturday Evening Post.
Hi* Glaring Escape.
In some private theatricals in a New
York mansion recently a fugitive from
justice was supposed to escape from
his pursuers by concealing himself un
der a table. The table was small, and
the terrified fugitive was somewhat
lengthy.
The commander of the pursuing par
ty rushed on the stage and fell over
the legs of the man he was searching
for. Picking himself up and ludicrous
ly rubbing his shins, he convulsed the
audience by exclaiming in true dra
matic style:
“Ha, ha! The dastardly wlllain has
eluded us again!”
Making th* Dumb Speak.
A man had lost all power of speech
for over a year, writes Sydney Holland
in the London Express. His wife
brought him to the London hospital to
see one of our physicians, who quickly
realized that there was nothing what
ever the matter with him and that he
was merely suffering from the reverse
of faith healing—that is. “imaginary
disease suffering.”
In the patient’s hearing he told a
student to fetch the largest forceps he
could find and added. “It may hurt
him. but I can remove the growth.”
“Now. shout out if 1 hurt you.” said
the physician as he plunged the for
ceps down the man’s throat. “Heav
ens!” the patient shouted. “That’s
right,” the physician said. “I have
got it away.”
The man went away not only speak
ing, but swearing, and it is said, but
I will not vouch for the rest of the
story, that his wife came back a week
later and begged us to do something to
the man, who talked so incessantly to j
make up for lost time that they were '
all driven wild. j
“HY-GINIC CRUMBLES.”
Proving That It’s a Poor Rule That
Won’t Work Both Ways.
Miss Clee, who is an ardent the
orist in the matter of hygienic liv
ing, concluded her somewhat tedi
ous remarks by descending from
generalizations to concrete instances
as she nibbled at a cracker.
“You say,” she declared, with
calm and patronizing pity in her
tones, “you say that pepper and
other condiments are not injurious
if used in moderation. My friend,
that is a mistake. The lining of the
stomach, a< you know, is composed
of a delicate membrane —almost ex
actly like the lining of the eye.
Now, candidly, would you put pep
per or mustard into your eye? You
would not. And why? Because it
would cause indescribable suffering.
And so, although you may not be
aware of the fact, the condiments
that you take into your stomach
cause inflammation and suffering,
which you call indigestion. Do I
make my point clear?”
Farmer Grant moved uneasily in
his'chair. He had enjoyed the corn
ed beef dinner, and the only draw
back to his enjoyment had been the
sight of his guest nibbling crackers
in preference to his own more sub
stantial meal.
“I s’pose you’ve got the rights of
the case,” he admitted grudgingly.
“But I just couldn’t stand it to live
on them hard baked wafer things
that ain’t got a speck of taste to
’em.”
“Try one,” urged the advocate of
the simple life.
Farmer Grant took the offered
edible gingerly; then a sudden
thought struck him.
“Turn about is fair play,” he said
bluntly. “I’ll give in that pepper
and mustard and vinegar and sich
like are all bad for the stomach, and
I’ll quit eatin’ of ’em es I find they
really do hurt the eye. And I’ll try
’em on myeeyese —es you’ll try the
effect first on your eye of crumblin’
this ’ere cracker up and rubbin’ it
round on that delicate linin’ that
you spoke of. Es the hy-ginic crum
bles don’t hurt your eye, why, I’ll
know they’ll be good for my stom
ach, and if they do irritate and in
flame that delicate organ, why, then
I’ll know hy-ginic crumbles ain’t
good, and I’ll stick to un-hy-ginic
eatin’, which I swan to man I kin
enjoy.”
Farmer Grant is still eating un
hygienic food, partly, no doubt, be
cause Miss Clee declined to rub “hy
ginic crumbles” in her eyes. —

All In His Mind.
A couple of traveling salesmen
bumped into each other on Broad
way the other day.
“How’s business?” queried the
first one.
“Rotten,” was the answer. “How
is it with you ?”
“Fine. Simply fine. On my last
trip I opened ten new accounts and ;
did a total business of $45,000. I
sold one man a $6,000 bill and an
other one $5,000.”
“So? Well, 1 think I ought to
get a commission on those sales.”
“Whaddye mean you ought to get
a commission on those sales ?”
“Sure I ought to. If you hadn’t
met me you never would have made
them.”—Exchange.
Hi* Coffee Not Hot.
There are all sorts of tastes in
New York, and, of course, every
thing is a matter of taste anyhow,
as the old woman said when she
kissed the cow. But one can find
many strange ideas of how things
should be done by simply listening
while in a restaurant. The most
unusual was heard in a quick lunch
resort downtown the other day.
“Give me a cup of strong black
coffee, not hot,” was the order, and
the waiter never said a word, just
went along to fill the order, which
a moment later proved to be a cup
of steaming coffee with a piece of
ice in the saucer to be used at the
discretion of the diner.—New York
Globe.
The Other Half Is Waiting.
One of the most pitiable sights in
the world is that of people who are
using only a small bit of their abil
ity while the rest of it is waiting to
be used. It is still ineffective be
cause of the many little weaknesses
or peculiarities, the bad habits or
the lack of preparation which handi
caps and makes practically ineffec
tive the whole life. How pitiable
to see splendid talent, fine ability,
everywhere tied down by compara
tively little things!
From Hand to Mouth.

A Bi*”di3**'s Joke.
When a certain distinguished gen
eral was in old days military secre
tary at Malta he was sent during a
government house function to ask a
young lady to repeat a skirt dance
which had met with much apprecia
tion. The fair dancer, who was some
what affected, protested that she posi
tively couldn’t and that if she did she
would be completely “blown." The of
ficer returned to the governor looking
rather sheepish, and hesitated as if
there was something he did not like to
say. "Well?” asked the great man.
"She won’t,” replied the other. “Won’t!
Why?” “ I don’t know,” was the re

she would!”
Gallant Service.
Colonel James Hamilton Lewis went
over to a hotel near the capital for
some luncheon. He finished, walked to
the door of the case and stood looking
out into the lobby, occupying the place
usuallj’ held by the head waiter.
A very pretty woman came up, mis
took the senator for the head waiter
and asked: “May I have that table
over there?”
“Certainly, madam.” the gallant colo
nel replied. “It will give me great
pleasure to escort you thither.”
He led her to the table, pulled out
her chair and seated her. She picked
up the bill of fare, glanced at it and
then said to Lewis: “What do you rec
ommend today?"
“Madam.” Lewis replied with one of
his famous bows, “if I were not mar
