About the time President Garfield
was shot, a Washington landlady was
telling one of her roomers about the
tragedy. "He wan shot right down
In the rotunda." she explained. One
nice old lady who wan listening to
the story broke Into the conversa

Rodgers, what Is a man's rotunda?"
The kid who "takes 'em out of the

Eddie the other day. "Do you know
why I like this Job?" he asked.

A Judge of the clrcul tcourt In
Denver recently was much embarras
sed during the trial of a damage suit
In which a woman was suing a rail
road company for an alleged Injury
to her ankle.
The woman bad been subjerted to
a grilling cross-cam lnat Ion and war
showing signs of becoming "peevefl,"
when puddenly the nttciney for the
plaint :fT asked:
"Will you please show your a-.rkt.
to the Jury?"
Indignantly lhe woman replied:
"No, I'lV not. I'll not show it tr
you. the Jury or nny olh'r penile
man but I will nhw It to tin
Judge."
A variation of t.ie "you-r.hcuM
seethe-other-fellow" story took
place after the last automobile acci
dent. One of the injured was get
ting sewed up, and the members of
the family were worried about the
permanence of the impairment to hU
looks. The young man didn't worr
a bit, however. "You think I'm
damaged?" he asked. "You ought
to see the cow we hit."
