MAN HE WAS LOOKING FOR
Mr. Cutlets Could Give Steady Job to
Applicant With Such Qual
ification. Mr. Underdone Cutlets, proprietor
of the Spoedy cafo, was notoriously
hard-hearted. Tho most weeping
witiow wiio ever gracod a melodrama
couldn't have wept a bIIco of stale
bread out of his rcastaurant without
tho price. So, when a pale and timor
ous bum approached tho desk and
made n faltering appeal, It was no
surprlso to tho lunch fiends to hear a
curt "Nothing doing. Beat it." "I'm
not a beggar," retorted tho hungry
man. "I'm willing to scrub floors or
wash dishes. I'm Just out of prison
and nobody will givo mo work. I'm
starving." Tho proprietor portrayed
a faint interest. "What were you in
for?" ho asked idly. "I'll tell you the
truth," explained tho ex-convtct "I
was a kind of a counterfeiter. I used
to take a $100 bill and split It in two
with a razor. Then, I'd paste the
halves together, so I'd havo two cen
turies, if tho sucker didn't look on
both sides. It took 'em five years to
catch mo." Mr. Cutlets beckoned tho
ex-prisoner behind tho bar. "Order
what you like on tho house," ho whis
pered. "I've got a steady Job for
you. I'll give you thirty a week to
slice tho ham for my sandwiches."

Tho unlverso, Prof. Inncs asserts, is

the Milky Way, and ho flguros that
tho most distant star In that wonder

from the earth. Inasmuch as tho

by astronomers to bo closo to tho cen

Milky Way, and inasmuch as light
travels 1SG.000 mllc3 n second, or
over five and threp-quartera quadril

universe, by I'r0f. innes's calculation
