Illegal "I'll take ray case t' th supreme court if youse insist on puttin' me in the jug as a vag," declared Me andering Mike when haled before the police judge. "And on what ground?" queried the astonished magistrate. "Violatin' de interstate commerce law," said Mike. "De last jedge I was brung before gave me ten hours ter git out o' de state, an' youse is interferein' wid mo in my " But the judge, having tried to un derstand some peculiar decisions of recent date handed down by the big wigs, dismissed the prisoner, not caring to become entangled. Never Again She had given her husband a bit of ribbon to match at the ribbon counter during the bargain rush. You know how a man loves to match ribbon Tor his wife! "I saw the prettiest thing at the ribbon counter I ever saw in my life," he remarked as he handed his wife the package. "What was it?" she .innocently in quired. "The girl that waited on me." Now he feels quite sure that his shopping days at the drygoods stores are over. dey wus givin' all they could spare to them people over there, an' if that ain't makin' mo a victim may I never have t' take ..nother bath." Not Much "What would you do if you had sixty-five million dollars?" "Well, for one thing I wouldn't get off a lot of gush about wanting to die poor." Tho Alternative Go to the ant, thou sluggar3; con sider her ways and bo wise. If you do not, you may have to call on your "uncle." Too Previous "Alas,',' murmured a shade as it paused by the Styx and gazed reflec tively across the dark water. "Alas, that I was born so soon." "Why the sorrow?" queried i fel low shade. "Had I been born some four thou sand years later I might have had more than a half-dozen words in print about my hunting exploits." So saying the mighty Nimrod wan dered back into the darkness. The trouble with Nim was that he lacked the press r.gent facilities. "I HA Arfcf7 5&1PER A lYJLi-JLAJi JL a DAY SellinuThb 7-Pieco Kitchen Sot" Pnm. $tmm itattmtnt of II. 8. CUNNINdltAU.

Joyful "Helloy Binks; you look'as happy as a man who made a lot of New Year's resolutions and kept them all to date." "No it's not that. Didn't make any resolutions, but I just got rid of the last cigar out of the box my wife gave me for Christmas." Narrow Escapo "I came within one letter of ac quiring a million the other day." iiMail miscarry?" "Not .that; I proposed to -Miss De Millions, but she said no instead of yes.'.' . A Victim "Mum, could youse help a victim of the Messina earthquake?" asked Walker Boutte. "Why, you never saw Italy in your life," indignantly replied Mrs. Nuwed. "I ain't sayin' I ever did, mum," replied Walker Boutte. "But I'm a victim of the quake, just th' same. Everybody I've struck for a hand out for the last week has told me . Pluck never rails at the lack of luck. A warm heart irons out many a facial wrinkle. Moral dyspepsia is often mistaken for extreme piety. A woman's eyes sent the first wireless message. The size of the house is not the true measure of the home. Ownership of money is vastly dif ferent from ownership by money. A lot of men are always demand ing license in the name of liberty. The church that wins is the church that goes Instead of sending. Winter is always short to the man who is putting off his work until spring. Money may purchase pleasure, but it can not purchase happiness all the time. By the time a man has "learned one woman thoroughly his memory fails him. There is something lost from a boy's life if he is never allowed the companionship of a dog. Perhaps there would be less talk of equal rights if the wrongs were more equally endured. The enjoyment of a meal depends about as much on who's around the table as what's on the table. If Special Privilege will kindly put a few millions of dollars in my pockets I'll make a reputation as a philanthropist. A lot of men who think they can manage the finances of the govern ment complain about the difficulty of financing a furnace. The. creeks that were powerful big streams when we were boys are mighty small rills when we return to them as middle aged men. About the only thing more ludi crous than an old maid who tries to be "gushing" is a weazened old man who thinks he Is a "masher." A business man should lock his business cares inside of his office desk instead of taking them home and shouldering them off on a tired wife. Speaking of able financiers, how about the mother who finances the expenses of a big family on the wages of an industrious' husband who draws an'' average of $40 a month? It is easier to foot a shoe bill than to foot a doctor's bill. We have faith td beliovo that tho country is full of potential Abraham Lincolns. Tho cheapest thing to give Is a kind word, and It is often worth moro than gold. Just about the timo a man finds himself unable to buy another pound of coal, spring comes. We never see a man hurrying but what we are Inclined to believe that he has been wasting his time. This is tho season of year when tho average housewife begins to get awfully stingy with her' canned fruit. If you select your shoes with a view to comfort Instead of style, it is a sign that you are growing old. Somo of these days we aro going to take a vacation and sleep just as late in the morning as wo feel like. Now that a lot of eminent states men liovo finished celebrating tho contonnial of Lincoln's birtli they will resumo their practice of ignor ing everything that Lincoln stood for.
