A.fat man with a brown soft bat walked
briskly Into a Main street restaurant and
took a seat at the lunch counter. The man
who was presidios over the section of the
counter at which he sat amblid over to him
and said. •‘Well*”
‘•WellV’ repeated the fnt man. »
“Watcher want?” asked the waiter.
“Gimme a piece of apple pie and a glass
of milk.”
“Haln’t not any apple pje, dr.”
“What kind of pie have yon got?"
“Cocoanut pie and lynon pie, sir.”
“Gimme a piece of lemon pie.”
The waiter went away and returned utfth
a slob of dark brown pastry and a glass'of
light blue milk. Tho fat man sawed off a
piece of the pie and transferred it to bis
mouth. - A pained look came over his face,
but he gulped the pie down and beckoned
to the waiter. “What kind of pie Is thatl”
be asked.
“What kind did you order, sir?” asked
the waiter.
“Lfctnon pie."
“Well, sir, that must be lemon pie, then.”
“Butit ain’t lemon pie.”
“Ain’t lemon pie, sir?”
“Not by a darn sight.”
“Sure it nin’t lemon pie, sir?”
“Of course I’m sure.”
“Thatls funny, sir.”
“Nothing funny about it What kind of
pie is it?”
The waiter leaned over the counter and
•nid in a hoarse whisper, “Confidentially,
sir, I have tried to work that pie off for ap
ple, pineapple, pieplant, peach and prune,
and it didn’t go, and if it ain’t lemon I’m

A New Uninlet.
Tho summer girl had finished her sched
ule for tho campaign and sat down to think.
She was looking n little like Marias among
the rains when her dearest friend came in.
“Whnt’s the matter?” was the quick in
quiry.
“I’ve just completed my want list for the
suriiver,” she replied, handing it to her.
“Gracious me,” exclaimed the other girl,
looking it over, “this ought not. to make
you sad. Here’s gowns and gowns, and
bonnets and hats, and jackets and waists,
and shoes and slippers, and parasols and
fans, and gloves and hundreds of things
that aro too lovely for any use.”
The fair possessor of it all sighed pro
foundly.
“Yes,” she said, “it Is all just like the
play of ‘Hamlet’—with Hamlet left out.”
“How do you mean?” and the big eyes
opened wonderingly.
“Where’s the man?” sighed tho first girl
again, •\ud there was no answer.—Detroit-

Two Irish Bulls.
Two prime Irish bill is wero recently found
among tho autograph letters of Sir Philip
Francis. This is the first: Some ladies
went to the Irish house of commons toliear
a particular debate, which hapitened to be
put off till next day. Sir Boyle Roche said:
“Indeed, ladies, I am very sorry for your
disappointment, but why didn’t you come
tomorrow?” The second is quite apropos
of recent incidents in the imperial parlia
ment. The house being one day remark
ably quiet and silent. Sir Boyle got up and
said: “Mr. Speaker! 1 spake to order—an
horiorablo gentleman, who always sits be
hind me, is perpetually laughing in my
face; I move that before he laughs at mC
any more ho will he pleased to tell me
what ho is laughing at!”—Pall Mall Ga

A Natural Supposition.
Detective—And which of your employees
do yon suspect of taking the money?
Business Man (thoughtfully) — Well,
there’s the bookkeeper, be has a new suit of
clothes every week; the cashier drives a
better horse than I can afford; the pur
chasing agent wears four big diamonds;
one of our clerks has a wife who goes in
society—so I guess you had better accuse
that miserable ragamuffin of a private sec
retary. Nobody has seen him have any
thing new in two years, and it’s pretty near
a certainty that he’s playing the races.—
Detroit Tribune.
J Among Women and Men.
An esteemed correspondent takes issue
with a recent comment on the deficiency
of humor among women, as evidenced
by the fact that they are rarely seen buy
ing funny papers on the railway trains.
“Don’t yon know," writes this protest
ing suburban friend, “10 cents seem to
a woman a good deal to spend for a few
moments, while to men, who are con
stantly throwing dimes and more away
on cigars, drinks and the like, the stun is
of no value.”
To which may he added the remar 1 -
beard not long ago of a man who is pos
sessed of what might be called average
habits in the matter of drinking and
smelting.
In that moment of genial introspection
which not infrequently assails a man
after a glass or two of wine and in the
enveloping clouds of a good cigar he
was discussing with the partner of his
joys and sorrows the merits and demer
its of his manner of life.
“Yon are quite right, my dear,” he re
plied, as his wife finished a little homily
on the injustice of her trying to save 50
centB on the quality of the children’s un
derwear while he tossed away a dollar
a day in dimes and nickels "for thing-
that did him uo good. “You are quite
right. It’s my change pocket that keeps
ns hard np all the time.”—New York
Times.

Expwulve Trip.
“Darling," she said os she next'ed closer
to him and looked up with a food gaze into
the eyes of_her lover, “you know all the
preparations for our wedding have been
made. The cards are out, my trousseau is
complete, but there is one little matter that
has not yet been settled.”
“I presume you refer, dear,” he replied,
lovingly holding her hand in his, “to oar
wedding trip?”
“You have guessed it, you dear'sweet
boy,” she cried joyfully, “and let’B decide
where we will go.” .
‘Let me see.” he said,'taking out hLs
notebook. “There’s Niagara and Wash
ington and Old Point and”—-
•No, dear,” she intcrmptc3, “I don't
want to go to any of those places."
“Perhaps you would like to go to some
real quiet place,” he continued, “where we
could be all alone by ourselves. But, my
darling, what is the matter with yon? You
are not ill, r:-e you?”
Her face had become ashen pale. Con
trolling herself by a supreme effort, she
said: “Can you not guess it? Don’t you see
where I want to go.” And" she whispered
something in his car.
Two hoars later the figure of a solitary
man might have been seen scurrying along
the wharves in the lower part of the city.
He paused a moment to see that he was not
observed, and then moving swiftly to the

ment’s hesitation he plunged in, exclaim
ing ere he did so, “No World’s fair for met”

Pleading a Friend's Case.
An excuse so absurd as to put an en
tire courtroom in good humor was given
not long ago before an English magis
trate.' A name was called* by the nsber,
a voice answered, “ ’Ere!” and a man
with a lame leg stumped np to the table
and said the defendant could not appear.
“Why?” asked the magistrate.
“Well, your worship, he’s ilL
werry had indeed, sir."
“What's the matter with him?”
“He’s got a werry bad leg, sir.”
“What's the matter with it?”
“Well, your worspip. it’s like this ’ere.
It’s got wrong in the j’mts, sir.”
“Has he got rheumatism?”
“Well, sir, 'tain’t tliat ’zackly. It’s a
cork leg, and the spring in the j'int ’as
gone wrong.”
The magistrate himself could not help
joining in the laughter which filled the
court at the absurdity of one man with
a disjointed leg pleading the cause of a
similarly afflicted friend and at the dole
ful tone in which he added:
“I do assure your worship that it’s
werry, werry had, and he can’t walk.’'
The summons was held over until the
broken spring'conld he repaired, and the
advocate stumped out of court with a
smile on his face and making a solid
sound which proved that all his own
“j’ints” were in good working order.-
