Willing to End ths Company.
A Chicago man who once permitted
himself to be persuaded to back a the
atrical company was seated in his of
fice one day when he received a tele
gram from the manager of the show.
The troupe was somewhere in Mis
souri, and the telegram read thus:
“Train wrecked this morning and all f
scenery and baggage destroyed. No
member of company injured. What
shall I do?”
The answer sent back by the Chicago
man was as follows:
“Try another wreck and have the
company ride in the baggage car.”—

“Then it ought not to be necessary I
for you to ask any questions.”

In Memory.
In memory of Johnnie Ward, the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ward.
On December 19th, the death an
gel bore bis little spirit home. He
was born January 8, 1902. He was
s'ck for some time, liut he bore his
sufferings with fortitude. He was
laid to rest in the Asberry cemetery.
Don’t grieve o’er his death for our
loss is his eternal gain. He was a
devoted and affectionate child and he
is greatly missed in the home circle.
Yes, he’s gone, your prescious son.
And your hearts are brised and torn ;
Dark the nigh thru which you’re pass
ing.
Hard the sorrows to be born.
But look up, stricken moth,er,
Tho the burning tears may fall;
Think of how the prescious Savior
Loves the children, one and all.
How he took them up and blessed them
saying, let them come to me, and for
bid them not, for of such shall my
heavenly kingdom be.
One who loved him,
—Lula Stapleton.
Grooming.
Anciently man thought more highly
of his horse than of his womenkind.
But woman, as it chanced, was crafty.
“Why does he esteem his horse be
yond his wife?” she asked herself and
resolutely faced the task of finding out.
Her first answer was: “The horse
will carry a heavier load.”
Her next: “The horse doesn’t talk
back at him.”
But neither of these, somehow, im
pressed her as being correct.
“Most likely,” she declared at length,
“it’s in the grooming. Well, I'll just be
well groomed myself and see.”
It was a lucky guess, and from that
time forward woman’s position rose
relatively until in our day the horse
has scarcely a look in even at the
horse show.—Puck.
Her Darling's Desire. .
“My darling,” said a fond mother,
who believed in appealing to children’s
tender feelings Instead of punishing
them, “if you are so naughty you will
grieve mamma so that she will get 11l
and have to lie in bed in a dark room
and take nasty medicine, and then she
may die and have to be taken away
out to the cemetery and be buried, and
you”—
The child had become more solemn,
but an angelic smile overspread his
face at his mother’s last words, and,
throwing his arms about her neck, he
exclaimed:
“Oh. mamma, and may I sit beside
the coachman?”—London Queen.
The Ago of Man.
It is generally admitted by scientists'
that men lived on the earth contempo
raneously with the big nosed rhinoc
eros, which became extinct about the
beginning of the glacial period. That
period, so high an authority as the late
Jolin Fiske assures us, probably began
not-less than 240,000 years ago and
came to an end 80,000 years ago. How
long man existed on the earth prior to
the glacial period we have no means
of knowing.—New York American.
Puzzled.
Mrs. Gaswell—Who is that man who
looked at you as if he knew you? Airs.
Highsome—He is a man who has done
some professional work for me once
or twice. He’s a chiropodist. Airs.
Gas well—Chiropodist? Oh, yes; I’ve
heard of them. They don’t believe in
foreordination, do they?—Chicago Trib
une.
To What Eace Uses, Etc.
One of our State street brokers re
