stopped in the lobby by this same de

to direct my attention to an elderly gen

He used to talk to me lovingly,
and since a new girl came in the
house his love has gone. He is my
first love. I erv both night and

WHY NOT TELL HER?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty years old. I have
just been introduced to a young
lady who is a year younger, and Is
keeping steady company with an
other fellow. She has told me she
loves me; but she still allows this
fellow to call twice a week, and

there. I love her dearly.

her up. or win her from the other
fellow" She is not sure that I

give him up. HAROLD.

Dear Miss Fairfax

An old farmer was noted for boast

he could have the loan of his cross-cut
saw to cut a turnip up. so as to get it in

He was not quite sure, however, that
he had had the best of it when he re

"You should have had the saw with
pleasure, but I have just got it fast in

A certain town in the North produces
bright boys. The other day one of them
asked his teacher, "How much brains

She replied: "Science has not deter

"Well. I have,” said the boy.
"It would take a philosopher to tell
that." responded the teacher; "but you
may tell.”
"A hog's head full!” rejoined the
grinning urchin.

Lysander John smiled in anticipa

Despite the wonderful advance of ex
ploration in various parts of the w orld,
the Royal Geographical society of Lon
don has recently declared that no few
er than 20,000,000 square miles of the
earth yet remain unexplored. Africa
has the largest unexplored area, nearly
6,500 ; 000 square miles; while North
America contains no fewer than 1,500,-
000 square miles of virgin territory.
The largest continuous stretch of unex
plored country is in Liberia, Africa.
The tract consists of about 20,000 miles,
all of which is within 200 miles of the
sea. Regions adjoining the Congo, the
basin of the Upper Nile, parts of Mo
rocco, Abyssinia and Somaliland have
yet to be surveyed, mapped out and
commercially exploited.
The most remarkable packet ever
sent by post, an authority at Mt. Mar

a branch postoftice in I.ondon and
told the clerk she wanted to be taken
to an equally well known cabinet min

A Russian smuggler was shot recent
ly by Cossacks just as he was crossing
the Austrian boundary, not far from
Czernowitz. The body fell across the
frontier, the head in Russian territory,
the trunk on the strip of neutral ground
which forms the frontier, and the legs
in Austria. No one is competent to
deal with the removal of the body, as it
fell in different countries. It was still
lying at the time ot writing, unburied,
the head guarded by Cossacks, the rest
by Austrian gendarmes.
A novel scheme of taxation has been
introduced into Dodge City, Kans. The
authorities have decided that every
man and woman wanting to dance must
first take out a dancing license. The
revenue derived from the issue of these
licenses, which will cost sl, and hold
good for a year, will be devoted to
town improvements.
