Mr. Craig was reading the evening
paper, while his wire sat near by,
knitting.
"Just listen to this, Debby," he
said. "It says here that more than
five thousand elephonta a year go to
make our piano-keys."
"Gracious!" cried the wife. "Ain't
it Jest wonderful, Dan, what some
animals can be trained to do!"
"Why, Willie," said the Sunday
school teacher in a pained voice,
"have you been fighting again? Did
n't you learn in last Sunday's lesson
that when you are struck on one
cheek you ought to turn the other
one to the striker?"
'Yes'm." agreed Willie: "but he
hit me on the nose!"

consent in the smoking room.
We cannot sleep," they said pa
thetically.
'Which berth is he In?" asked
one. Lower eight, right across
from me," said a still sadder looking
man.
"What can we do? the whole night
ahead of us," they cried in one voice
In at least not over a voice and a
half.
At last one man who had dealt
much in politics and was strong for
concerted committee action, said:
"We should wait on him In a body
and wake him up and present our
case."
This plan met with everybody's
approval, and the suggestor was ap

Together they moved down the
aisle till they were opposite lower
eight. The chairman reached In and

awoke with the conventional snort
"Whatsmatter?" be asked in the
thick tones of sleep.
"We wish to state that, with you
snoring as you were, we cannot get
any sleep. We wish further to in
quire whether you cannot lie in some
other position or otherwise dispose
yourself so that we can at least take
turns at sleeping? After conferring
with the conductor, we find you paid
no more than the rest of us paid, and
we feel that we are not overstep
ping our rights in demanding that
we have our share of sleep."
"What was the snore I was doing
that you objected to?" asked the man
Interestedly. "Was it a noise like
dragging a log chain through a see
tion of stoveppei followed by a brief
Imitation of a fast leak In an inner
tube?"
'Described to the life!" exclaimed
all.
"Oh, that's just my warming up
work-out snore. Wait till I get to

The college professor, greatly be
loved because of his kind heart, but
very absent-minded, visited his mar
ried niece and listened to her praise
of her first-born. When she paused
for breath the professor felt that he
must say something.
"Can the little fellow walk?" he
asked with every appearance of in
terest.
"Walk?" cried the mother Indig
nantly. "Why, he's been walking
now for five months."
"Dear me!" exclaimed the profes
sor. "What a long way he must have
gone."
SERIOUS FIRE
DARLING BARN
Two Residences Saved from Destruc
tion by Fire Friday Afternoon
by (Jtilck Work of Firemen
"Oh, Mamma!" exclaimed Isabelle
one night when she came home from
school, "I saw a girl across the street
I thought I knew, so I corssed over
to speak to her; she thought she
knew me, but when we got near to
gether, what do you think, it wasn't
either of us."
The residences of George Darling
and Pat Nolan, on the east side of
Laramie avenue, were saved from
destruction by fire Friday afternoon
at 4 o'clock by the quick work of
the fire department. The fire presum
ably started from the usually disas
trous combination of matches and
small boys.
Barns and sheds on the rear of
the lots were destroyed and a tele-
pnone caDie, wnicn was carried on
poles along the alley, was melted in
two by the fire and dropped to the
ground, putting over three hundred
telephones on Laramie and Cheyenne
avenues out of commission.
Jest one little nip o' politics seems
t' destroy some fellers fer all further
usefulness. I'd hate V be a girl an'

It's th' trifling transactions o' life
that show a feller up. You kin al

Rudely awakened from sleep, at
about 2:30 a. m., by his doorbell,
the peaceable resident stuck bis bead
out of the window and In no very
pleasant manner demanded to know
what was wanted.
" 'Scuse me, sir," answered a mud
dled voice. "Does Jones live here?"
"Jones? Of course not. What
the devil do you mean by ringing
people s bells at this time of the
morning? Who are you, anyway?"
"Who'm I?" asked the disturber,
apparently surprised. "Why, I'm
Jones!"
Sammy never overexerted in the
classroom. His mother waa delight
ed when he came home one noon
with the announcement "I got 100
this morning."
"That's lovely, Sammy!" exclaim
ed his proud mother, and she kissed
him tenderly. "What was it In?"
"Fifty In reading and .fty in 'rlth-

Bell Telephone Stock
Even the most radical enemies of "big busi
ness" admit that there is no "water" in Bell
Telephone stock. The Bell organization last
year paid less than a 6 dividend on actual
physical valuation of the property.
In a recent speech in New York, Congressman
Lewis, of Maryland, in advocating government
ownership of telephones, said:
"Be it said for the Bell System, that it is the
one great corporation in our country that has
not issued tons of counterfeit capital. Its stock
and bonds today represent the actual contribu
tions of its shareholders in money to a great
common enterprise, and we will not have that
unfortunate circumstance to deal with in the
valuation of their properties."
Private enterprise and initiative have made
American telephone service the cheapest and
most efficient service in the world.
