would have It, at the wrong door.

number of children have you? Aro
any of them working? If so, wlmt

the slatternly woman who answered
his summons. "I presume I am ad

An olllcer of engineers in charge of
tho construction of a road that was
to be built through a swamp, being
energetic himself and used to sur
mutmtiug obstacles, was surprised
when nuc of his young lieutenants
whom he bad ordered to take twenty
men and enter the swamp said that he
could not do It the mud was too deep.
The colonel ordered him to try. Ho
did so and returned with his men cov
ered with mud.
"Colonel, the mud Is over my men's
heads. T can't do it."
The colonel insisted and told Iiim to J

was necessary for a safe passage.

The "Nagur" and tho Fiddle.
Here Is a story that Frederick Doug
lass used to tell about himself: Once
when hi! was in Dublin he fell very
lonesome, lie was wandering about'
the streets when he was attracted by!
two Iolins in the window of a second-!
hand denier. Frederick entered and
asked the price of one ol the Instru
ments. "Five shillings, sor." said the Irish
dealer.
rrederick tuned Hie violin and began
to play "Uoek.v Koad to Dublin." Soon
the proprietor's wifo heard the music
and entered the rear door. Then Fred
erick started In on "The Irish Washer
woman," and the couple began to
dance for dear life. When the music
and dancing stopped Frederick ten
dered the dealer 5 shillings, but his
performance on the violin had greatly
enhanced Its value in the mind of the
storekeeper, and as lie hurried away
to a plaee of security he exclaimed:
"If a black nagur can git such
chimes out of that fiddle I'll never sell
il at any price, begorrah!"
The Secret.
From his farm Judge Hlank was In
the habit of supplying the preachers
of all the churches with llnur, corn,
hay and vegetables free of cost. He
also kept the country supplied with
venison from ilie herd of deer which
he kept for many years, lie built a
big smokehouse In the rear of his
ground'!. One night, unseen himself,
lie saw a man emerge from the smoke
house with a ilde of pork on Ids shoul
der. He recognized the Intruder, but
said nothing. A week afterward the
fellow approached him, saying, "Judge,
1 understand you had some meat stol
en from your smokehouse?" The old
Judge raised' his hand deprecathigly
and said: "Sh! No one on earth
knows anything about that but you
and me." Argonaut.
Where She Got Them.
"Hut," said the inquisitive lmc&filoi
after the baby had been carefully
placed hi his arms, "wheie does she
get her' blue eyes? Yours are dark,
and so are her papa's."
"Oh," the fond young mother ex
plained, "she Inherits them from my
side of the family. My brother Will's
wife has Just stii-h eyes exactly."
