We are in receipt, of a poem en¬
titled “On August, > » The author
would have done better to put it
on ice.
An exelmngt suys the devil is
getting it in the neck during these
days of revivals. Yes, and the
yellow-legged chicken, ton.
Says a South Georgia editor:
“Green peas, sweet potatoes, mus¬
cadines and butterbeans are in
our rt dst.” Hope he died b ^py
Some of the brightest para¬
graphs we see these days are writ¬
ten by Mrs. Mvrtfe Bayne Pasley,
of the Macon News.
We feel it our duty to state that
a Denver woman changed her
mind so often that it was com¬
pletely worn out, and now she is
in an asylum.
A Paris physician warns lib-
lady patrons that the habit ol
kissing pugs nnd poodles is ox
tremely dangerous. Whether tin
warning is intended for the bane-
fit of the pugs and poodles or tin
ladies we are unable to say.
A county in Ki as which bin-
several candidates icr each offic
has substituted a series of prig'
fights for the primary, the success
ful scrappers to be the nominees.
This is a good plan but we could
not try it. There wouldn’t be ain
one le r to tnrow up the spouge.
Totsiei “Mama, (boo hoo) you
wont have any old slippers U,
throw after me when 7’m mar¬
ried.”
Mama: “Why?”
Totsie: “’Cause you'll wem
’em all out spankin’ me 'fore I’m
growed tip.”
The Macon News says a New
York millionaire has established a
col leg where girls will be taugh!
to know themselves. Those who
wish to preserve the tradition
that there is nothing now under
the snn had better head oft this
scheme right now.
An Arkansas editor has discov
ered the nerviest of men. He says
that this man subscribed for his
paper on credit, took it for five
y< arg without paying a cent and
then ottered to sell the old paper¬
back to the editor for cash when
the latter’s file bad been destroyed
by fire.
A Kansas editor adviw res this
ingenious conception of a t end¬
less chain in human ambition:
“Every farmer boy wants to be n
school teacher, every school teach-
in hopes to be an editor, every ed¬
itor would like to be a banker, ev¬
ery banker would like to be a
trust magnate, and every trust
magnate hopes some day to otvn
a farm and have chickens and
cow3 and pigs and horses to look
after. We end whtrewe begin.

Senator Patterson's Expcrlsneo as
“Angel” For a Circus.
"One of the most enjoyable peri-
ods of my life was when I was run-
aihg a circus,” said Senator Tom
Patterson of Colorado to a repre-
tentative of the Washington Star,
“I was practicing law—that is, try-
ing to—just after I left attained college.
Two young men I knew
their majority and, inheriting a con-
6iderable fortune, decided that the
only real occupation in life was that
of a circus proprietor. thousand They dol- in-
vested a good many
little lars in buying around some them rings and with then a
canvas
proceeded to equip every depart-
ment anew. 1 do not know how
much they had in, but when they
got ready to go on the road most of
their cash was in the outfit. They
struck two weeks of steady rain,
and the next I hoard of them was
through a telegram addressed to mo
saying: ‘Como at once. Two weeks’
rain. Sheriff has the outfit. Brine
all the money you can.’ I raised
f‘2,000 or $.1,000 for them on short
notice and took the first train. 3
got them going again and remained
with them two weeks in southern
Michigan. “ We played ‘ to immense
d nnd had pleasant weather
thr0ughont . When I left them,
th?re considmblo of a surp F l U8
the tmisury> ftnd th ' sold out

. that fall at a profit. the
business with real regret nnd have
often wondered since if I did not

cus business.”

“The coming of the new Chinese
minister to Washington has aroused
much interest in the diplomatic
corps,” said one attache of a Euro¬
pean “I embassy.
understand the Chinese minis¬
ter formerly served in Washington lega¬
as a secretary of the Chinese
tion. I don’t remember him dis¬
tinctly, and I don’t wish to libel him,
but I think he is one of a party of
Chinese gentlemen attached 10 the
legation at that time who, desiring
to live ns near as possible to each
other, summoned a real estate
agent and rented 1108 and 1409 H
street. yond They were astounded be¬
measure to find that instead
of living next door to each other it
was necessary to run across the
street to gain the house o£ their
friends.”—Washington Post.
Humors of a Sham Fight.
A Canadian paper tells this story:
7t was during a sham fight.bet ween
two volunteer corps. One of the op¬
posing forces was retreating before
the other.
Sergeant Major (to captain)—Wo
are going too far away from the
railway station, sir. If we retreat
any more, we’ll never get back in
time to catch the train.
Captain—llow absurd of the colo¬
nel to drive us so far! Orderly, run
over to the officer in charge of the
enemy and ask him, with my com
pliments, if he will please retreat to-
ward the railway station.

Trick With a Bottls and Cork and a
Lesson In Science.
Get an empty wine bottle and a
cork that is, say, two sizes too small
for it, so that if put in in the or-
dinar}’ way it will fall clear clown
into the bottio.
Lay the the bottle on its side and
Put cork just within its mouth.
Now ask the spectators, one at a
time, to try to force flic cork into
tho bottle by blowing on it.
It will amuse you to sac the con-
fidenee with which the first lie person
sets about the little task, will
step tip with an air that says, “Why
don’t you ask mo something hard f’
Then lie will stoop and blow his
breath on the cork in a sharp spurt,
expecting, of course, to make it
disappear immediately,
But the obstinate cork, ns if re-
versing the regular order of things,
will come flying out of the bottle
instead of disappearing in it.
Tho second person will approach
the task with confidence, too, think-
ing that the first didn’t go about it
in the right way exactly; that lie
blew either too hard or too softly,
But the cork is still obstinate, and
out.it comes again instead of going
in.
So it will be with them all unless
some one in the company knows the
secret, and when you take a little
quill or tube out of your pocket
and blow through it right against
the center of the cork, thereby driv¬
ing it in at once, there will be a
good laugh.
But still they will not understand,
perhaps, why their blowing on it did
not drive it in. The reason is that
some of the nir goes around tlie
cork into the bottle, which lias the
effect of compressing the air al¬
ready there, and the cork goes a lit¬
tle way in; but the compression
ceases almost instantly and is fol¬
lowed by an expansion, which forces
the cork out.
A Little Gentleman.
I know a well hred little boy who never
says “I can't.”
He never’ says “Don’t want to” or
“You’ve i a ot to” or “You shan’t.”
He never says “I’ll tell mamma!” or calls
his playmates “mean.”
A. lad more careful of his speech I’m sure
was never seen!
He’s never ungrammatical; he never men¬
tions “ain’t. ’
A single wor<1 of slang from him would
make his mother faint!
And now I’ll tell you why It Ib, lesi. this
should seem absurd:
He's now exactly a j X months old and can¬
not speak a word!
—St. Nicholas.
A Gallant Little Culprit.
Bobby waa
some misdemeanor. It was at kin¬
dergarten and his first punishment.
The teacher inquired, “Aren’t
you sorry, Bobby, to have to stay
after school when the others go?”
“Oh, ro,” replied Bobby. “It
was just what I wanted, so as to
have you all to mj'self.” — Little
Chronicle.
Sun and Moon.
A boy said that he didn’t rare so

we could see just as well without it,
but the moon’s some use—it shines
