"Mr. Bildad," remarked Mrs. Bildad,
as soon as the supper dishe3 wero
safely put away, "I want to talk with
you a few moments."
"Uh-huh!" grunted Mr. Bildad from
behind the evening paper.
"I have figured out, Mr. Bildad, that
during the month of March your cigar
bill amounted to an average of 40
cents a day, or $12.40 lor the entire
month."
"Well, haven't T rnr. n v?riif ,

bosom interrupted.
"And an average of ?1 a week for
billiards, or ?4 for tho month."
"Great Scott, Mrs. Bildad, don't you
think I am entitled to a little recrea
tion from bus" began Mr. Bildad
only to be choked off again.
"And I have investigated a little
and found that your noonday cinch
game costs you an average of $1 rn
a week, or ?6 for the month." '
"Seo here, Mrs. Bildad, I've got to
have a little recreation from busi

joke Is rather personal. he
Mr. Armstrong, resident 'Qf a Ne
braska town, is a very radical repui
lican and inclined to the belief that
populists and democrats are little less
than anarchists and traitors. He has
two sons-in-law, one of whom is a
prominent populist, and the other a
democrat who is engaged in the news
paper business.
A neighbor of Mr. Armstrong's mat
the populist son in-law on a train not
long ago, and arriving at home
thought the father-in-iaw would be
interested in hearing from a member
of the family. Meeting Mr. Arm
strong on the street the neighbor said:
"By the way, Armstrong, I met that
politically foolish son-in-law of yours
on the train yesterday. '
Armstrong smiled; then grasping
the arm of his neighbor inquired:
"Which one?"
Parenthetically it may be remarked
that the relator of this incident en
joys relating it much more .than he
enjoys hearing it.

fields with some admiration and con
siderable gloom, "that the maize is-

"Uh-huh," replied Jed Plowem, the
hired man.
"I suggest, therefore, that you se
cure a hoe and proceed to eradicate
the said superflous and harmful plants
and give tho maize an opportunity to
arrive at maturity."
"As the judge hiked out to catch the
train at tho suburban station Jed
scratched his head.
"Well, if th' jedge meant fer me t'

Of course boys will be boys, but
that is no reason why they should not
also be gentlemen.
Some men can give a dozen excuses
for doing wrong and overlook the one
reason for doing right.
In these days Ihe office that seeks
the man is usually the office without
either honor or emolument.
A near neighbor Is six feet tall and
weigns less than 150 pounds. He is
always as happy as a fat man looks.
Would a hlghwaymar? be excusable
for beating his victim if he kindly
bought salve for the victim's wounds?
There seems to be a growing belief
that a man has a right to rob his fel
lows if he will only pay the victims a
