He cuts his hair about four times a year and the rest of the time looks decidedly ragged about the ears, He was moking a witness de- seribe a barn which figured in his last case. “How built?” “Oh, 1 don’t know—about a year mebby, about nine months p'r'aps.” “But just how long? Tell the jury how long it.had been built.” “Well, I don’t know exactly—quite awhile.” . “Now, Mr. B, you pass for an intel- ligent farmer, and yet you can’t tell me how old this barn is, and you have lived on the next farm for ten years. Can you tell me how old your own barn is? Come, now, tell us how old your own house is, if you think you know.” Quick as lightning the old farmer replied: “You want to know how old my house is, do ye? Well, it's just about as old as you be, and the roof needs seeing to about as bad.” In the roar that followed the witness stepped down, and Lawyer S. didn’t call him back.—London Globe. long had the barn been An Acceptable Clock. A well known professor sometimes became so much interested in his lec- ture that when the noon bell rang he kept the class five or ten minutes over the hour. Certain restless spirits among the students thought they would give him a gentle hint, so they bought an alarm clock, set it to go off precise- ly at noon and placed it on the profess- or’s desk when they came in to the next lecture. They knew that he was a little absentminded and expected that he would not notice it. As the noon hour struck the alarm weunt off with a crash, and those of the class not in the secret started and took in the joke at once. There was a round of applause. The professor waited un- til the alarm and the applause were over and then said: “Young gentle- men, thank you for this little gift. I had forgotten it was my birthday. An alarm clock is something my wife has needed for our servant for some time. It is a very kind remembrance on your part” The professor then went on to finish a demonstration interrupted by the alarm.—London Tit-Bits. A Famous Story. Every section has its famous story. A famous story that 1S being retold in Oregon is about a very rich banker who got his start by doing work for the government. His bill was $5,000, and it had to be submitted to congress. Congress has a habit of cutting its bills in two. To make allowance for this he jumped his bill to $10,000. He sent the bill to the governor for his approval. The governor, having also heard that congress generally appro- priated only half as much as was ask- ed, jumped it to $20,000. The bill was then sent to one of the congressmen. Belng friendly to the contractor, he Jumped it to $40,000 and sent it to an- other Oregon congressman for his ap- proval. The second congressman jump- ed it to $80,000. Congress allowed the ‘whole $80,000, although the contractor was_entitled to only $5,000. This is told as a fact in Oregon. The man who got the $80,000 got his start on it and is now a millionaire.—Atchison Globe. A “Lady” In Pepys’ Tims. There were worse terrors than the matinee hat for the man who sat be- hind a lady in the seventeenth cen- tury theater, as recalled by the Lon- don Chronicle. At least, we may sup- pose so from Mr. Pepys’ experience on Jan. 28, ‘1661, when he saw “The Lost Lady” for the second time. Nine days earlier that play had not pleased him much, partly perhaps because he was “troubled to be seen by four of our office clerks, which sat in the half crown box and I in the 1s. 6d.” But on the second occasion the play did “please me better than before, and here, I sitting behind in a dark place, a lady spit backward upon me by a mistake, not seeing me.” However, it was all right, for, “after seeing her to be a_very pretty lady, I was not trou- bled at it at all.” Nuts as Food. One very great advantage which nuts possess over most foods is thelr absolute freedom from adulteration. ‘When you buy nuts you always know ‘what you are getting. Of course those bought in the shell are also absolutely clean.—Good Health. Light and Hope. Even in evil, that dark cloud which hangs over the creation, we discern rays of light and hope and gradually come to see in suffering and tempta- tlon proofs and instruments of_ the sublimest purposes of wisdom and love.—Channing. At His Expense. She—Jack told me that that hospital was bullt entirely at his expense. Is it, possible? He—Well,” Jack's uncle cut _him off- with a hundred dollars and left the rest of his money to build the hospital. How many ‘think to atone for the evil they have done by the good'they intend to do and are only virtuous in prospective!—Eliot. RS —— . s - ey Nemes In Alaska. Life in' Alaska. {s uncouth in parts, but it has its refinements. In Valdes there lived a man named Jake, who kept a boavding house for dogs. When the prospectors returned from thelr sled trips they would place thelr teams in his charge until ready to start out again, - As he fed his guests on gar- bage gathered by a house to house can- vass, he was known by every one as “Slop Jake." Once-upon a time he fell ill, and the newspaper ywished to chronicle the fact. No one, however, knew Jake's other name, and it didn’t seem worth while to waste the time of the editorial staff on so Insignificant a detall. So the news was printed thus: “Our well known fellow citizen, 8. Jake, s confined to his house with 4 severe cold. It is hoped he will be out |# soon.”—New York Cimes. Fooling the Beans. A Yankee of the quaint old time type | § was preparing - to bestow a coat of | whitewash on his henhouse one spring long ago. He had completed the mix- ing of the whitewash, a writer in the Manchester Union says, and, looking | round for something on which to try it, picked wp a bean pole and ran the | | brush over it. Another local character, | & who was driving by, stopped his horse | 3 and called out: “Hello! What ye white- washing your bean poles for?” “Thought everybody knew that beans the other without pausing in his work. -~ “Ye don’t expect to make birch poles that way, Co ye?” “Mebbe nct, but whitening of ’em 1l make the Dbeans think the poles are birch anyhow.” Origin of Cemeteries. In ancient times burials were always outsidé the walls of a city or town. Indeed, before the time of Christianity it was not lawful to bury the dead within the limits. About the end of the sixth century St. Augustine obtain- ed of King Ethelbert a temple of idols ~—used by the king before his conver- slon—and made a burying place of it, and St. Cuthbert afterward obtained leave of the pope (A. D. 752) to have yards made to the churches suitable for the burial of the dead. The Little Ones. It was a bright and very original lit- tle boy named Barber, who, upon hear- ing his father spealk of “their neighbor, Mr. Wood and his children, the little | splinters,” and of -another neighbor, “Mr. Stone and the little pebbles,” re- marked: “I suppose if they met papa they would say: ‘Good morning, Mr. Barber. How are al] the little shav- ers?” NO REASON- FOR DOUBT A Statement of Facts Backed By a Strong Guarantee. We guarantee immediate relief and a positive cure to all sufferers from constipation.
