- Knew What He Wanted
During the recent registration of
voters,”the polling place being a bar<
ber shop, an Irishman entered and the
foreman of the registry board ad
bdressed him:
“What is your name?”
He looked bewildered and arswered :
“James Fiynn.”
' “Where were you born?”
It was plain that Flynn was an
noyed, but he answered, “Ireland.”
' “How long are you in this country?”
Flynn, getting more indignant, an
swered, “Eighteen months.”
“Well, as you are only one year and
a half in the United States you cannot
vote.”
“l don't want to vote—l want a
shave,” was the reply.—Judge.
No Escape
Brother Johnson had labored
th'rough a long, perspiring evening to
convince his colored brethren of the
terrible fate that remained in store
for them if they remained unsaved.
He concluded: “And the wicked
shall be chst into outer darkness; and
there will be wailing and gnashing, of
teeth.”
Jackson arose from his seat and de
manded, “What about me, Mr. John
son. I ain’t got no teeth.”
Leaning far over the pulpit and
shaking a lean, bony finger at the aged
sinper, Brother Johnson said tersely:
“Never you mind, Mr. Jackson; never
you mind. Teeth will be provided.”

Human Decoy Used to
Lure Wolf in Russia
The Russian hunter’s method of kill
ing wolves is interesting. A great
hefty peasant, with yellow hair, snub
nose, red face and shining blue eyes,
brought an immense wolf’s skin to me
once, and I asked him how he had ob
tained it. He was standing at the
window of his izba one late afternoon
he said, when he saw a wolf walking
through the village street. He seized
his gun, called a friend, and they went
In pursuit. The wolf stopped on the
top of a hill outside the village and
| looked at them. To prevent it from
|° running away, the second man went
down on all fours and moved toward
the wolf. He looked, in his heavy
sheepskin shuba, for all the world like
an animal, and the wolf ran back to
attack him. When it had come to a
convenient distance the hunter shot it.

Strange, Strange!
This is veracious: A clergyman
from Cambridge, Mass., had occasion
to preach to the inmates of an insane
‘hospltal. During his sermon he no
ticed that one of the patients paid the
! closest attention, his eyes riveted upon
; the preacher’s face, his body bent
eagerly forward. Such interest was
i most flattering. After the service, the
speaker noticed that the man spoke to
. the superintendent, so as soon as pos
sible the preacher inquired:
) “Didn’t that man speak to you about
- my sermon?”
! “Yes."
~ “Would you mind telling me what
' he said?”
The superintendent tried to sidestep,
but the preacher insisted.
“Well,” he said at last, “what the
man said was, ‘“Just think, he's out
and I'm in.’”—The Christian Register

Runs Submerged
An inexpensive_ undershot power
wheel which will run even when whol
ly submerged and which is especially
adapted for use in mountain streams
was invented some time ago by a Salt
Lake mfan. The wheel's source of
power lies in the fact that the blades
fold on the upward stroke, making
the leverage greater at all times on
those below than above the center
shaft and thereby enabling it to run
in water of any depth. The wheel,
which is made entirely of metal, may
be of any diameter and width.
To prevent clogging with floating
weeds or debris the wheel is inclosed
in a heavy mesh wire screen so con
nected to the wheel that it revolves
in the opposite direction.
