Bousquette, Miss Vinnette, A Losing Game. “By having a record kept at the cashier’s desk of pay checks which patrous fail to turn in 1 sometimes make up my losses,” said the proprie- tor of a large restaurant. “Today a man got a check for 65 cents. To the cashier he presented one for 25 cents. The latter, glancing at his missing check card, discovered that it was one of the listed ones. Detaining the man, he notified me. After being confront- ed with the waiter the beat wanted to pay both checks. 1 ordered a police- man summoned. The man’s pleading led me to show him the list of missing checks, which amounted to something like $80, saying that I didn’t know but that he was the cause of them all. He offered to pay the lot if the matter would be dropped. and this proposition I accepted.”—New York Sun. Couldn’t Forget It. “Saturday night some miscreant lug- ged off a whole cord of my wood, and somehow I can’t forget about it,” de- clared Silas. “Have you tried to forget it?” in- quired his friend. “Yes. Suunday morning I went to church, hoping 1 could get it off my mind, and before I had been there five minutes the choir started in singing ‘The Lost Chord’ so 1 got out”— Judge. Reckless Gambling. “I'm afraid my husband is develop- ing the gambling instinct,” sobbed the bride. “What's the matter, dear? Has he been playing poker?” “No, but yesterday he offered to match pennies with Brother Frank to determine which one should pay the car fare.”—Detrolt Free Press. Getting Down to Business. Mistress (to new servant)—There are two things, Mary, about which 1 am very particular. They are truthfulness and obedience. Mary—Yes'm, and when you tell me to say you're not in when a person calls that you don’t wish to see which is it to be, mum— truthfulness or obedience? Defined. Precocious Child—Papa, tell me what is humbug? Parent (with a deep drawn sigh)—It is, my dear, when your mamma pretends to be very fond of me and puts no buttons on my shirt, He who loves goodness harbors an- gels.—Emerson. The Talkative Barber. “The talkativeness of barbers long has been the subject for puns and Jjokes,” said a barber. 1 bad always fancied the matter one of recent origin until the other day. You know in my profession we have a great deal of spare time. Well, the other day 1 was sitting on the bench waiting for the shaves and hair cuts to cowe in and to while away the time was glancing through a copy of Plutarch's ‘Arche- laus.' Imagine my consternation when 1 happened on a line reading: **A prating barber asked Archelaus how he would be trimmed. He an- swered. “In silence.”’ “Well, that got me. 1 never knew they even had barbers that long ago. 1 always supposed the ancients let their whiskers “grow and that they wore curly locks as long as their to- gas, but it seems that the barber is an ancient relic and that his talking proclivities are a matter of history. I'll bave to give it to the humorists there. “But, say,” he whispered, “that man- icure girl over there has got us beat to a frazzle. | wonder if there’s anything in Plutarch about her.”—Kansas City Star. The Sunny Side of Superstition. That there is anything genial. cheer- ing or therapeutically valuable about superstition may seem a tall state- ment. The adjective generally associ- ated with it is “dark.” On the con- trary, there is something very bright- ening about a four leaf clover. Who is not a little more of an optimist for picking up a horseshoe? What lone- ly farmer’s wife, stormbound on a winter afternoon. with unwelcome lei- sure on her hands, but feels a: little quickening of the pulse as she drops her scissors and beholds them sticking up in the carpet or discovers that she has laid an extra place at the table? Company signs are the commonest and welcomed of all superstitions. The scissors. the needle. the dishcloth, the fork. the Saturday sneeze, all inculcate hospitality and reward it by an unex- pected visitor. If the needle slants as it stands up in the crack of the floor it foretells a gentleman. Run, young daughters of the house, and put a blue bow in your hair!— Atlantic Mounthly. Working It Out. The followiug note was delivered to a schoolmistress recently: “Dear Mum—I am sorry that John- ny won’t be able to cowme to school to- day. He has gone with his father to act as timekeeper. The sum you gave Johnny last night was, ‘If the road is one and a quarter miles long how long will it take a man to walk that dis- tance twenty-six and a half times, his average rate of progress being three and three-quarter miles per hour? Johnny ain’t a man yet, so as dad's the only man in this house he had to go. They started at 4 o'clock this morning, and dad said he’d finish the sum in one day if he could manage it. though it would mean hard going. Dear mum, next time you want any information please make it *woman,’ then 1 can do the sum and dad can go to his work.”—London Scraps. A Custom of the Balkans. He or she who enters a house for the first time is supposed in the Balkan countries to bring it good or bad luck for the whole twelvemonth. This be- lief gives rise to a curious observance. The visitor before crossing the thresh- old picks up a stone (token of strength) or a green twig (emblem of health and fruitfulness) and lays it on the hearth. He also brings with him some grains of salt, which he casts into the flames, and then, squatting by the fireside, wishes his hosts *“a prosperous year, a plentiful crop and many blessings.” Then as the grains of salt burst and crackle in the fire he utters the follow- ing quaint formula: “As 1 am sitting, even so may sit the hen and warm the eggs. As this salt splits, even so may split the eggs of the clucking hen and the chickens come forth.” Reptiles’ Eggs. Reptiles’ eggs are not very attrac- tive objects. In the case of crocodiles and many kinds of tortoises they are pale colored or white and resemble those of birds in shape. But the egg of the gopher tortoise is remarkable for its complete roundness. It might well be mistaken for a golf ball. Many snakes' eggs are soft skinned, brown as to color and look for all the world like 2 number of new potatoes.—Scien- tific American. Enthusiasm. The organist sent a little boy to in- quire of the minister what the first hymn would be. “Tell her,” said the minister, “I would like ‘Garol, Broth- ers, Carol." " The little boy thought he said “Howl, Brothers, Howl.” and told the organist that the minister’s selection was “Yell, Brothers, Yell.”—New York Times. Runs In the Family. Mr. Agile (to Mr. Stoutman, running for a car)—Hello, old boy! T thought you were too lazy to run like that. Mr. Stoutman (languidly)—Easily ex- plained, my dear boy. Laziness runs in our family.—Lippincott's. Suspended Animation. “What is suspended animation?” “It's what happens at an afternoon a when the very woman they have een talking about enters the room.”— Puck, Cramped. Knicker—How large is their subur- ban place? Bocker—Large. Why, they have to have folding beds for the flow- ers.—New York Sun. Bless the fools! What would we do 1f every one were wise?—Antrim, S __fi.},.. .
