Boy’s Parting Shot at the Professor Was tl-Timed. In a public school in the northwest section it is the custom for the super- vising principal to receive “Good morning” and “Good afternoon” from the pupils on entering and leaving’ the School. one boy, who eyaded the custom as often as possible. One Friday after- noon he saluted the principal with the startling farewell, “Go to the dev- il, professor,” and ran out of the school.. The professor became very angry over the affair, and thought over several plans of punishment to mete cut on the following Monday Mecnday morning came, and e hoy, wko sat on a bench room.

John Newdick, a citizen of Kokomo, Ind., is of a strongly religious turn, but Mrs. Newdick is a trifle unregen- erate. The, ether evening John an- nounced family prayers, but at that moment it was inconvenient for his wife to attend, as her hands were “in the dough.” John was already on his knees, but he arose and thrashed his irreligicts spouse, after which he concluded his .devotional. excrcises with all due reverence. Mrs. Newdick had him up before a magistrate next morning and nis excess of zeal cost him $25 and costs.—Exchange. Natural Cause for Alarm. Chief Justice J. M. Fitzsimmons of the New Yerk city court told a good story recertiy of his experiences in | the oil regiors many years ago. They were workirg hard fer a “strike,” and boring nizat and day, and, as the evenings were cold, a fire was built. One night a vein was struck from which the gas rushed to a height of over a hundred feet, and a stream of fire shot into the air. The foreman, Tim McCarty, rushed to the door with a yell, “Get up, get up, Fitzsimmons. We've broke through into hell.” Mrs. Meekton Was Ready. “Henriétta,” said Mr. Meekton, “did you hear that lecture in which it was stated that the fact that Adam arrived on earth before Eve indicated “that men should assume a certain precedence over women?” “I did,” was the somewhat icy reply. “Isn’t -it-absurd? It simply shows that Adam .Was expected to get the garden in shape for Eve’s comfort, just asthe modern man gets up in the morning and lights the _ fire.”—Washington Star. .

Capt. Edgar S. Dow of New Haven, | to whom was giyen the honor of: pilot- ing Président Roosevelt’s yacht into New Haven harbor on ,his visit to | Connecticut’s metropolis last fall, is an entertaining old salt, who can al- ways go a story-teller one better. Ap- propos of the humorous mistakes that printers make, the captain lately told | the following of his own observation: ‘Years ago,” he declared, “I used to +! ake a New York paper that printed H a shipping news on the same ze | with the obituaries.

At that time the chimpanzee wag under contract. .But it will prob- 1 ably now be taken to Germany for the operation. It can even now use a type | writer and play the piano.

Turned On the Light. s The man Calve is reported to have | selected for her first husband and see | ond leve is Jules Bois, an interesting writer on o¢cult topics. His one-act | lay, “The Devil in Darkness,” was | given only cne performance at Mont- martre. It was played in total dark- | ness, voices of different timbre speak- ing solemnly a dialogue that quite transcended in mystic realism any: thing Paris had ever heard before. Unluckily for Bois, some envious rival bribed the gas man to turn on the | hghts in thé middle of the act, and a half-dozen commonplace Montmartre singers of both sexes were discovered sitting on wooden chairs, all of them grinning over the misadventure. Af- ter that Jules Bois gave up the stage’ in despair, The frishm. n and the Sun. An Irishman who had just landed in New York from his home in Ireland was stroiling around the city, taking in the sights. In the course of his walk he came across B.ttery park, | and Iséeing a bench unoccupied near the water frort, sat down. It was just about stumset when the Celt took his seat in the park snd as he gazed across the water at Governor's island the big guas at that place boomed, announcing sunset. Now, this noise | was nev to the Irishman, aad’he said to a policeman who was passing by: “Phat's thot noise fur?” “Aw, it’s the sun goin’ down,” r plied the officer. “Begobs.” remarked the Celt, the sun nivir went down thot hard in ire- | land.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. | J | Herring Cleaned by Machine.
