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. ,

But, really, wo don't care how much

bird or beast strikes their fancy,
promptly pre-empt It as their "totbm."
The pendulum has swung tho afier
