WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR Reporter's 8esmlngly Superfluous Question as to Happenings at Cabinet Meetings. PostmaBtcr General Meyer ia of a serious turn of mind, but bo has a bit of humor In his makeup, nevertheless. Being looked upon ns tho shrowdcat politician In tho president's cabinet, ho Is tho objective point for nowspaper corrcspondnnts on cabinet days. Last week as Mr. Meyer emerged from tho Whlto Houso a nowspaper man asked: ' "Mr. Postmaster General, can't you give us soma news nbout the cabinet meetings?" "l'liero really Is nothing to sny," ro piled tho cablnot ofllccr. "Wo dis cussed nothing of especial Impor tance." "Do you mean to say you did not discuss politics?" tho newspaper man queried. Tho postmaster gcnoral burst Into laughter. When he recovered his us ual serenity he said: "Do you Bupposo wo wero all muz zled?" A JOB FOR TWO. "Whnt you fellers got In that box?" "U'b all right, ofllccr. We're takin' home Mamlo Casey's hat wot sho wore at do lawn party last night!" Here's a Good One. A friend of inlno told mo of a curi ous experience. Ho was carefully stalking a big bull elephant In a largo herd, when tbey got his wind, and a big cow elephant charged him. Ho Jumped behind a largo treo ns tho elephant reached him, and, bolng un able to stop herself In time, the ele phant drovo her tusks with such force into tho trco that they snapped off close to "her head. Tho elephant was stunned for a moment, but luckily turned and gnlloped after tho fast re treating herd, leaving him tho posses sor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued at about $250. Circle Mngazlno. Laundry work at homo would bo much more satisfactory if tho right Starch wero used. In order to got tho desired stiffness, it is usually neces sary to uso so much starch that tho beauty and fineness of tho fabric Is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys tho nppearanco, but also affects tho wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can bo entirely overcomo by using Defiance Starch, as It can bo applied much moro thinly because of its great er strength thnn other makes. No Romance About It. Tho stricken mnn constantly moaned tho name of tho young woman who had Jilted him. "Tell her," ho said to tho medical man, "that her cruelty killed me. Toll her I nm dying from a broken heart." The medical man shook his head. "Aw, go on," he said. "That would bo shamelessly unprofessional. Your heart's nil right. It's your liver that's tho trouble." Starch, liko everything else, is bo lng constantly improved, tho patent Starches put on tho market 25 yerrs ago nro very different and inferior to thoso of tho present day. In tho lat est discovery Deflanco Starchall injurious chemicals nro omitted, whilo tho addition of another ingredient, in vented by us, gives to tho Starch a Btrength and smoothness nover ap proached by other brands. , Placing the Bother. "They say we nro not to bo bothered by tho big hats much longer." But, really, wo don't care how much much longer they are It's tho height nnd width that bother us. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
