Payment In Full
A train traveling through the west
was held up by masked bandits.
Two friends, who were on their way
to California, were among the passen
gers.
“Here’s where we lose all our
money,” one said as the robbers en
tered the car.
"You dont think they’ll take every
thing do you?” the other asked ner
vously.
“Certainly" the first replied. “These
fellows never miss anything.”
“That will be terrible ” the second
friend said. “Are you quite sure
they won’t leave us any money?”
he persisted
“Of course,” was the reply, why do
you ask?
The other was silent for a minute
Then, taking a fifty-dollar note from
his pocket, he handed it to his friend
“What is this for?” the first asked,
taking the money.
“That’s the fifty dollars I owe you,”
the other answered. "Now we’re
square."—July Lipinoott’s.

A Horrible Example
When the Honorable Champ Clark
last visited Georgia he was much
amused by the sad case of an aged
colored man as set forth by the
negro’s wife.
It appears that Mr Clark was
walking along the main street of a
town in that state when he came
upon an old couple. The man was
staggering, and the woman was berat
ing him soundly.
“You are evidently of the opinion
that liquor is not good for your hus
band,” the Representative ventured
to remark to the old negress.
“Ain’t good for him?” retorted the
old woman. "Of eo’se it ain’t good
for him. It ain’t good for nobody.
Why, suh, old Joe beah he’s ninety
yeahs old, an* done drink liquoF all
his life. Now look at him! Ef he
had let dat stuff alone he mighter
been a hundred by dis time!’’—July

Her Father's Child.
The six-year-old daughter of a
well known evangelistic preacher
was playing on the sidewalk one
day when a shabbily dressed and
downcast man approached her
father’s house.
Halting at the foot of the steps,
he looked at her, and in a weary
voice—the voice of an unsuccessful
book agent—he asked if her father
might be found in his study.
“He isn’t home,” said the little
girl, drawing close to him and gaz
ing up into the tired face, “but
he’ll be home pretty soon. You go
into the house, you poor, perishing
soul, and mother ’ll look after you
till he comes.”—Youth’s Compan-
At tho Wrong End.
“I been a-readin’ all your eastern
papers,” commented Grizzly Gus,
the three fingered terror of the Bad
Lands, “and I been a-tryin’ to keep
up with the stories therein con
tained. But your sportin’ sections
gets me. -I been a-readin’ about
these here fights you all has back
east. Nino times out of ten the
paper states that ‘the fight ended
in a draw.' That’s what I can’t
savvy.”
“Why not?” we asked. “When
two men are equally matched why
should not the fight end in a
draw ?”
“I guess you have diffrunt kind
o’ fights in yore country. Out here
a fight begins with a draw.’’—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Our B.b.l of Tongues.
The old and the young sometimes
have difficulty in understanding
each other’s language. Geraldine,
playing with her little companions
on the sidewalk, succeeded in fool
ing one of them Tiither neatly.
Pleased with the infant crime, she
dashed in to tell her grandmother,
“Margaret got stung, gramma.”
“What stung her, dear—<a bee?”
asked gramma mildly. ■Geraldine
stared at her in blank -surprise.
“What’s a bee?” she asked, deeply
perplexed. “Well, what do you
mean by ‘stung ?’ ” inquired gram
me in equal dismay, and at last ac
counts neither had been .-able to
make the other comprehend what
was meant.—TEew York Press.
Tho Victim.
“I hear poor Dobbs, the 2iumor-
ist, has gone to a sanitarium,”
Binks said.
“Ycfl,” Higgins said. “He’s
worked himself into a state of nerv
ous prostration that I fear iis in
curable.'”
“That’s too bad,” Binks -said.
“How did he come to do that ?”
“Why, six weeks ago he got an an
swer to a riddle, one’s a chau-ffieur
and the other’s a fnr show, and he
says he’ll never be able to sleep un
til he finds the question it will
make a good answer to,” Higgins
said.—Harper’s Weekly.
Ho Had Read Roimo.
She was very literary, and he was
not.
He had spent a harrowing even
ing discussing authors of whom he
knew nothing and their books, of
which he knew less.
Presently the maiden asked arch
ly, “Of course you’ve read ‘Romeo
and Juliet V ”
He floundered helplessly for a
moment and then, having a bril
liant thought, blurted out happily:
“I—I’ve read Romeo!”—Phila
delphia Times.
