When the suit arrived he found in the pant’s pocket a note reading this way: “Should this fall into the hands of a good looking young man who desires to correspond with a young lady of sweet disposition, kindly ad- :dress, ete.” The young man prompt- |1y sent a letter to the address and the by lies follows: “Sir, my wife is in receipt of a letter from you in her name.

The old soldier has an irrepressible sense of humor, and still preserves the shrill fife which he used in many battles. A shipment of “grub” was received at the lumber camp not long ago, ‘n which was a box of coarse raisins. When the cover was removed “Hank” discovered that the drled fruit was filled with worms and shoved the box aslde to await orders for its condem- nation from the “woods boss.” When the gruff old Scotchman arrived, how- ever, he received the suggestion with Wanted by McGraw, Btone throwing by children ix not &8 common now &8 when the automo- bile was a novelty; but it stilf exists, A Dblg limousing, occupied by a well known theatrical man and his wite, was running slowly down Riverside Drive, New York, few days ago when a good sized rock, thrown by & boy mot more than three vears old, crashed through 6ne of the windows.
