Unusual Yet.
Mark Twain had finished his
speech at a dinner party, when,
says Tid-Bits, a lawyer rose,
shoved his hands deep into his -
trousers pockets, as was his hab
it, and laughingly inquired of ]
those present:
“Doesn’t it stike this company
as a little unusual that a profess
ional humorist should be funny?’’ 1
When the laughter that greeted
this sally had subsided, Mark «
Twain drawled out: i
“Doesn’t it strike this company
as a little unusual that a lawyer j
should have his hands in his own j
pockets?”
Fish for Georgia Rivers.
Washington, D. C., Mar. 27.
Representative Walker has re
ceived the promise of the U. S.
Fish Commissioner that an addi
tional supply of shad will be sent
to the Altamaha river and that !
shad will be placed in the Satilla
river. A large supply of red
breasted perch are to be placed
in the Satilla, Withlacoochee and
Alapaha rivers.
Representative Walker has for
two or three days been attending
to his duties in the House on
! 1
committees, but has been forbid-;
den by his physicians to do office
work until he regains his strength
as he is still far from well.
How Education Helps.
A want advertisement from a
serious French journal reads:
'‘A young person having re- j
ceived an excellent education, in
cluding writing, geography, his
tory, mathematics, dancing, mu
sic and art, would like to enter a
respectable family to do washing
and ironing.”

Secret of Boy’s Progress.
From what has been said of
the importance of the training
secured outside of the schools, it
is not to be inferred that there is
not much to be accomplished in
the schools, says the Denver
Weekly Pv,st. When a boy needs
the help of a school most is after
he begins to work for a living.
And that is just the time that the
public school system fails him. It
is a great mistake to suppose that
the time of his education is past
when he leaves school. That is
when the most important part of
it should start. Upon the help
that he is given then will depend
his progress toward better service
and higher earning capacity. If
he is to continue to go forward,
his education must continue
throughout his life. One of the
distinguishing characteristics of
great men is the fact that they
are always learners. They be
come great because they contin
ue to grow.
Talked To Death.
The toastmaster was in de
spair. Looking down the table
he saw a friend, an Irishman,
noted for his wit, and he thought
that he might help. He called on
him. With due solemnity the
Irishman responded:
“I cannot say what I want to
say.” he began with “for we are
ail limited to five minutes. So I
will tell you of an Irishman who
came to this country. He wrote
home telling of things here, and
recounted that no longer were
men put to death in this country
by being hanged. ‘The w'ay
they kill ’em here,’ he wrote, ‘is
by elocution.’” - Raleigh News
