How to Stop a Nose Bleed. ‘When the bellboy responded to the signal he found the elderly traveling man standing in the center of the room holding a handkerchief to his nose, from which the blood was oozing. “Give me a slap alongside of the head, good and hard,” said the elderly man, turning his face toward the boy and speaking ‘with difficulty. “But, sir, I"— “Don’t stop to talk,” sputtered the traveling man. “Slap me, I tell you,” again holding his head forward. The boy hesitated for a moment, then tim- 1dly slapped the man’s face. “Harder!” commanded the smitten one. The boy hesitated no longer, but with his open palm dealt the man a vigorous blow. “That's better,” grunted the gory one as he removed the handkerchief and after a test found the bleeding had stopped. “I'm subject to these attacks of nose bleed,” he explained to the as- tonished youth, handing him a tip. “I have tried all sorts of remedies, but nothing acts more promptly than a blow alongside the head. The shock seems to paralyze the ruptured blood vessels, and they quit work at once. Try it some time if you have the occa- sion. I got the idea from an old physi- clan in Mexico.”—New York Press. Could See For Himself. Clarence Foster (“Pop”), the old ball player, was always busy sewing In his spare moments in the clubhouse. Fos- ter was a handsome fellow and took pride in keeping himself looking neat and natty as far as his attire went, and he was as particular as an old maid re- | garding his clothes, so was kept busy doing the tailor act with the needle and thread. One August “Pop” was taken ill and was ailing for some few days. The fact of his illness got into the public press and so became common talk among the players. A few days after the announcement was made that Fos- ter was ill the St. Louis aggregation blew into the Washington grounds. The first day Foster was discovered sitting in front of the clubhouse, busy at his everlasting sewing. “Hello, Pop!’ shouted Catcher Joe Sugden.” “I heard you were sick, but how are you now?” “Well, Joe,” carelessly responded Foster as he paused a moment in his taflor stunt, “I have been sick, but just at present, as you can see for yourself, I happen to be on the mend.”—Wash- ington Star. No Come Back. Some of the West Indlan islanders have learned that when a foreigner mishehaves on their shores it is better to suffer In silence than to mete out punishment at the risk of a descending gunboat from the miscreant’s natlve land. A judge in Haiti, however, re- cently took occasion to pay off old scores and to redeem his self respect in the case of an offender brought be- fore him. To his first question as to the nation- ality of the accused the interpreter had answered that the prisoner was from Switzerland. “Switzerland!” said the judge. “And Switzerland has no seacoast, has it?” “No seacoast, your honor,” replied the Interpreter. “And no navy,” continued the judge. “And no navy, your honor,” was the reply. “Very well, then,” said the judge, || “give him one year at hard labor.”— Brooklyn Life. The Other Reason. A teamster retires at the age of ninety with an accumulation of $50,- 000. He says he wants and is entitled to a’ rest. Some inquirers want to know how he could have saved so much on $12 a week, the highest wages he ever received. The answer is easy. He got §2 a day. He lived on 22 cents a day. He saved the difference. I lived In New York on 5 cents a day for nearly six months and was in magnifi- cent health. Some people eat to live; others live to eat. As the old chap on the ferryboat said to the small boy: “Sonny, why does a pig eat?” “’Cause he’s hungry.” “No. There’s another reason.” “Whut's dat?” “He wants to make a hog of him- self.”—New York Press. Sam Weller. It was Sam Weller who made Dick- ens famous. “Pickwick Papers” were a complete failure financially until this unique character was introduced. The press was all but unanimous in prais- ing Samival as an entirely original character whom none but a great gen- ius could have created. Dickens re- celved over $16,000 for “Pickwick Pa- pers,” and at the age of twenty-six he was incomparably the most popular author of his day.—London Standard. Tame Your Rattlesnakes. A tame rattlesnake belonging to an Arizona farmer sleeps every night on the front gate of its owner’s garden, coiling himself around the gate and gatepost, so that a lock and chain to keep out intruders are not needed.— Pittsburg Dispatch. Foiled. “Ah!"” said Bragley, with a view to making Miss Wise jealous. “I was alone last evening with some one I ad- ‘mire very much.” “Ah!” echoed the bright girl. “Alone, were you?'—Philadelphia Press. A Losing Scheme. “They tell me that poor Jolly is a victim of bis own good fellowship.” “That’'s so. He lost his own health in drinking other people’s.”—Baltimore American, The Coop. “This flat is a mere coop.” “Yes, John,” said his wife sweetly, “and the cook has just flew it.”"—Pitts- ourg Post. The Mania For Shopping. One phase of the feminine mania for shopping Is illustrated in John Foster Fraser’s “America at Work.” Speaking of the C. O. D. method of shopping and of the way in which it appeals to the woman with the slender purse, he says: “If she has no dollars, that does not deprive her of the pleasure of shop- ping. She will walk into a big store, look over a dozen gowns and try on several before deciding. Then she will get a C. O. D. card and, visiting other departments, will buy a hat, rich un- derwear and a parasol. She will give a fine order. When the goods are de- livered at the address she mentioned, it Is found there is no such person as Mrs. Walker. True, she has put the store to a lot of trouble. Yet think of the morning of womanly delight she has had in her shopping.” Persistency is the road to success. The only known esception to this rule 18 the case of a hen sitting on a china egz.—Exchange.
