An Indianapolis lawyer, with a friend, motored down to Greenfield, had dinner at the hotel and thought § | they would like to see the house where B | Riley lived. So they asked the hotel g | man: “Where is the Riley house?’ “I don’t know amy hotel by that name,” he replied; “though there may be some such boarding house here.” “I mean the James Whitcomb Riley house,” said the lawyer, thinking his host had misunderstood. “I don’t know him. You may be l| able to find his name in the city direc- tory.” “TI guess he’s moved,” said the law- yer as he aimlessly thumbed the direc- tory. “Probably,” the hotel keeper com- mented. “Some of them Irish don’t stay long in a place!”—Saturday Even- ing Post. FACING THE CAMERA. Ms Effect Upon a Man Who Didn't Take Things Seriously. ‘Writing on “Familiar Incidents” in the American Magazine, Stephen Lea- cock describes his experiences having his photograph taken. The following s an extract: “The photographer rolled a machine into the middle of the room and crawl- ed into it from behind. “He was only in it a second—just time enough for one look at me—and then he was out again, tearing at the cotton sheet and the window panes ‘with a hooked stick, apparently frantic for light and air. “Then he crawled back into the ma- chine again and drew a little black cloth over himself.. This time he was very quiet in there. 1 knew that he ‘was praying, and I kept still. “When the photographer came out at last he looked very grave and shook his head. . “ ‘“The face is quite wrong,’ he said. “‘I know,” I answered quietly. ‘I have always known it.! “He sighed. “I think,” he said, ‘the face would be better three-quarters full “‘T'm sure it would, I said enthusi- astically, for I was glad to find that k| the man had such a human side to him. ‘So would yours. In fact’ I continued, ‘how many faces one sees that are apparently hard, narrow, lim- ited, but the minute you get them three-quarters full they get wide. large, almost boundless in'—* “But the photographer had ceased to listen. He came over and took my head in his hands and twisted it side- ways. I thought he meant to kiss me, and I closed my eyes.” Resolution. To think we are able is almost to be 80. To determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself. Thus earnest resolution has often seemed to have about it a savor of omnipotence.— Samuel Smiles. No One to Stop Him. Thackeray used to enjoy telling of ‘one experience he had in New York. ‘Wishing to see a specimen of the red shirted Bowery boy and volunteer fire- man of that period, of whom he had heard so much, both before and after his arrival in this country, he wended his way to that thoroughfare and soon | saw one of the species seated on a hydrant. Approaching him, he polite- ly said: “Please, sir, I want to go to Brook- o “Well,” answered the Bowery boy, “why the — don’t you go?—From ‘Wilson’s “Thackeray In America.” Both Legs Shaky. A former official of the United States raflway mail service was compelled as head of his department to suspend an agént on account of a missing pack- age that’ contained $5.000. No suspi- clon attached to the agent, but he was laid off pending an investigation. The package was found and the agent rein- stated. A few days after he was back on his old run the locomotive left the rails and ran into a corn field, dragging part of the train with it. The mail car was upturned, and the agent who had been suspended was pulled out. His leg was broken. He was sent to a hospital. where he remained for seven weeks. On his recovery he sent in his resigna- tion. It was framed dnd still hangs in the office of the former official. This is a copy: “Please accept my resignation on re- celpt of this. I am tired of holding a job where I nearly had one foot in the penitentiary and the other in . the grave.”—Chicago Record-Herald. Next Time. Curlous wedding customs linger still in obscure places. - When in 1870 the Rev. 8. L. Warren became rector of Esher he was called upon to marry a couple who, at the conclusion of the service, kissed each other before the altar., Mr. Warren did not approve of the custom. and as the wedding party proceeded to the vestry he said to old John Woods, the clerk, “Next time tell them not to kiss till they get to the |§ vestry.” Instantly John Woods hob- hind in pays back its price] week * yearout. your friend. the price only ig peed Must you serve a life sentence of washday drudgery?

Yes, He Could Hold Him. ‘A christening ceremony was taking place In'a church in a mining district in Scotland. The infant that was to be christened was very glorlously ar- rayed. Among other things it wore a splendid bonnet, which, when the critical moment arrived, the mother had some difficulty in removing. ‘With the eyes of the congregation flustered, and her attempts to hold the baby and take its bonnet off at the same time seemed likely to end in her dropping the infant on the floor. The clergyman turned rather im- patiently to the father, a tremendously powerful looking - collier, who was standing stolidly watching his wife’s struggles. “Can’t you hold the child?” he asked sharply. The- big collier turned a disdainful glance on the minister, rather a dimin- utive man. *Haud him!" he whispered fiercely. “Man, I could fling him ower the kirk—and you tae!” A Willing Agent. Agents for the various transportation companies that operate in the Yellow- stone park meet the trains at Living- ston, Mont.. and endeavor to secure for their companies tourists who have not been booked through. Several of them were trying to get a tourist early this season. They ex- methods of seeing the park. Finally the tourist said: “It isn’t a question of money with me. It is sim- ply a question of congeniality.” “Yes, yes, yes!” shouted one of the agents. “We show you that, too—just the other side of Mammoth Hot springs.”—Saturday Evening Post, House Lobby Report This Week. ‘Washington, Dec. 4—Chairman Gar- rett of the house lobby inquiry com- mittee said that he expected to sub- mit the report of the committee te the house this week. upon her the poor woman was greatly, | o plained the advantages of their various |j§ I Will Buy 7-ft Jack Pine Posts Delivered to me at Bemidji on car lots at other towns.
