The Surprlsers Were Surprised
On Saturday evening chapter X P
E O mot at tho home of Mrs A C
Ebert avowedly to welcome Mrs Hum
phrey who comes by demit from the
chapter at Oxford After tho formal
words of welcome Mrs Schobel was
called to account for the use of her time
in P E O interests and was presented
with a P E O emblem ring as a token
of appreciation from the members The
president feeling that she was very
wise kept herself busy trying to hold
off the serving of refreshments Sud
denly the body of ladies were greatly
surprised by the entrance of ten lino
looking men who were all decked out in
shining stars of prodigious proportions
and lettered A U K B I L The
chief immediately began making a
speech and read a beautifully rhymed
address at the closo presenting it with
an envelope to Mrs Britt the president
who was now most thoroughly surprised
of all on finding the envelope contained
a check for 510000 payable to the treas
urer of chapter X The ladies being
thus assured of their ability to meet all
convention expenses gave the P E O
yell out of the fullness of happy
hearte If these A U Ks are
birds as they stoutly maintained the
P E O sisters pronounce their B I
L the most beautiful they have ever
seen Long live the A U K B I L
May their number never grow less nor
their hearts any smaller

One Question Too Much
The servant problem wus under dis
cussion and experiences were being
related Several women stopped talk
ing at the same moment and the si
lence which had lasted nearly two sec
onds was broken by a young matron
who said Hut ladles thats all noth
ing to what happened to me last week
My cook left me you know for no
earthly reason except that she told the
chambermaid we starved the help
The idea Well I went to the intelli
gence office and after a long search
found the girl I wanted to take Mag
gies place She answered every ques
tion to my satisfaction until I asked
her Why did you leave your last
place Then she got red In the face
threw her head back and said in an
angry tone Heeause I wanted a
change Why did your last cook
leave V And before I could answer she
turned away saying Youll not suit
Now isnt that dreadful And then
all the other women told dreadful
stories New York Tribune
An Ancient Irish Custom
In the district known as the barony
of Forth In County Wexford Ireland
is to be found a race of hardworking
industrious peasants living In thatched
cottages with clean whitewashed walls
which by their perfect whiteness at
once arrest the attention of the visitor
These people differ in many respects
from the Inhabitants of the other parts
of the same county and have habits
and customs peculiar to themselves
When a funeral takes place two wood
en crosses are provided On the way
to the cemetery a halt Is made at a
certain spot by the side of the road
Ilere prayers are said for the deceased
after which one cross is deposited in a
hawthorn bush or under it The pro
cession then goes on its way and after
the interment tho other cross is fixed
at the head of the grave This strange
custom dates from time immemorial
as the great pile of crosses by the road
side indicates
How to Stop Runaways
The policeman had stopped the run
away very neatly Now though puff
ing a little he was quite calm
Its nothing to stop a runaway he
said as ho wiped his foam covered
hands It is like jumping on or off a
moving car dead easy when you know
how What jou want to do when you
see a runaway tearing toward you is
not to stand still but to run all your
might in the same way the nags a-going
Then when it catches up to you
you grab the bridle and keep
Then you are not thrown you
are not trampled on and in a minute
or two the horse slows down Ive
stopped a dozen runaways without an
accident Its part of our training and
the policeman who would refuse to
take a chance would be disgraced the
same as a soldier who would refuse to
fight New York Press
Waked Him Up
Fare
The passenger gave no heed
Fare please
Still was the passenger oblivious
By the ejaculatory term fare
said the conductor I imply no refer
ence to the state of the weather the
complexion of the admirable blond
you observe in the contiguous seat nor
even to the quality of service vouch
safed by this philanthropic corpora
tion I merely allude in a manner per
haps lacking in delicacy but not ir
conciseness to the monetary obligation
set up by your presence in this car and
suggest that without contempering
your celerity with cunctation you
liquidate
At this point the passenger emerged
from his trance Columbus Dispatch
Tree Fountain
An extraordinary curiosity is to bl
seen in the Swiss village of Gunten on
Lake Thun It takes the form of a nat
ural tree fountain the water flowing
continuously from a spout high up ir
the tree About twenty years ago tht
water from a spring was conducted
through a shaft and the supply pipe
was directed through the cut trunk oi
a young poplar tree which was rammed
in the ground After a short time the
trunk rooted branches followed and
now there is a splendid top growth
Friendship
Friendship is a vase which when ii
is flawed by heat or violence or acci
dent may as well be broken at once
It never can be trusted after The
more graceful and ornamental it was
the more clearly do we discern the
hopelessness of restoring it to its
former state Coarse stones if they
are fractured may be cemented again
precious ones never Landor
Great Laughers
The giant laughers have been men
Shakespeare and Rabelais I do no
regard Cervantes and Sterne as laugh
ers They are sinilers They are nol
joily roarers and guffawers They are
not fat rotund jovial hilarities They
are thin lean ironic smiles A smile
is a diluted laugh Sterne is a diluted
Rabelais James Douglas in M A P
Like Talking Shop
A stockbroker whose mind is always
full of business was asked a few days
ago how old his father was
Well said he abstractedly hes
quoted at eighty but there is every
prospect that he will reach par and
possibly be at a premium
A Rebuff
Miss May began Mr Hoamley
would you er be mad If I were to
kiss you
Not necessarily replied the bright
jtfrl but I would certainly be mad to
let you
Arp we to mark this day with a
white or a black stone Cervantes
