Two Over-Zealous Youngsters Work ed Themselves Out of a Job. The -working members of a family consisting of a father and two sons found themselves out of employment. After a diligent search, the youngest son found employment on the Rox borough filter plant, helping to dig the excavations. On the completion of the first day’s work he asked Mr. McNichoi to give hie brother a job. The contractor, ever on the alert for good men, asked the young man if his brother could do as much work as he, and on the strength of this recommendation the elder brother was engaged. The next day both brothers went to to McNichoi and pleaded to have their father put on the job. “Can your father do as much work as either of you boys?” asked Mc Nichoi. “Yes,” answered the brothers; “he can do as much work as both of us together.” "Very good,” replied McNichoi. “Send your father around in the morning and you two stay at home.”— Philadelphia Ledger. ACCORDING TO HIS FOLLY. Fresh Young Man Who Bantered a Jap Answered In Kind. A young Japanese compositor em ployed on a Japanese paper hardly a stone’s throw from the Mail and Ex press building, was riding down town in a city hall train the other morning. He was engrossed in his morning paper and paid little attention to the other passengers. But a fresh-looking young man who sat next to him, and who had been eyeing him all along, suddenly said: “What sort of a ‘nese’ are you, any way? A Chinese or a Japanese?” The little Jap was not caught nap ping. Quick as a wink he replied: “What sort of a ‘key’ are you any way; a monkey, a donkey, or a Yan kee?” The fresh young man had no more to say, and left the train quickly when City Hall station was reached.—New York Mail and Express. Art Forgeries. The Anglo-Saxon is the natural prey of the art forgery-monger, and the modern antiques which are manufac tured for him constitute the livelihood of the whole countrysides on the Arno, and the Tiber, on the Nile, and on the Jordan. Innocent peasant looking people dig up those antiques before the eyes of the unsuspecting tripper! And when the fool goes off with his folly, the simple, guileless peasant quietly buries another ex ample of the same object in the same hole for the benefit of the next tour ist who may come along.—Magazine of Art. Beggar’s Succesful Plea. The best known of the penny beg 'gars is loose in Broadway again after a long absence. He Is a gray-bearded old man who glides up to you in the street and says in a wheezy voice: “Boss, will you give me a penny? I want to get a cup of coffee. I have four.” As an evidence of truthful ness he holds out four pennies in his dirty palm. His modest request is usually complied with unless he is known. He has been doing the pen ny-begging stunt for several years now and seems to be satisfied with the results.— New York Sun. Reason for Left-Handedness. A scientist has recently published a brochure on the subject of right and left handedness. The explanation l'or the phenomena in any person is traced to the pressure of the blood in the two- halves of his brain. He concludes that for right-handed sub jects there Is an excess of pressure in the left half of the brain, accom panied by an excess of excitability and r.f vitality in all those parts of the body dependent on the left brain. For left-handed people the reverse is true. Old-Time Business Methods. Church White, of Atchison, regrets that the merchants of the present day do not do business as they did at Hainesville, Mo., where he was. rear ed. The custom there was to settle with the store once a year( on the 1st of January. Once White’s father went into McCrory'a store to settle. “What’s my bill?” he asked of Mc Crory. “Well, George,” said McCro ry, "pay what you think is right; I ain’t kept no account.” Happiness for Old Maids. “Honey, when’s you gwine ter git married?” The engagement had not been announced, so the young woman replied: “Why, I don’t know, auntie; I am not even engaged. What do you think of that?” The old colored wom an said: “Laws-a-me! but that suttin ly am a pity. But, Miss Nancy, they do say that ole maids is the happiest critters there is, once they quits strug glin’.—Harper’s Magazine. Under the Red-Tape System.’ Perhaps the most remarkable curios in the British army system of red tape are the headings under which vari ous personal necessities are classed. For instance, a soldier must purchase a brush and comb under the head of clothing, while a tooth brush for some extraordinary reason comes under the denomination of fuel. Napoleon’s Buttons.
