A GREAT RUNNER
One of His Foats of Which He Had to
Be Reminded
Im the real thing as a runner
said Howard James majestically as he
seated himself at the first home din
ner since his return from college His
mother and sister looked at him In
Bheer admiration
Yes mother I wish you could have
been at the university to see me run
During the football season I ran away
from every one on the team They
were not in it for n minute In the
classes I took the lead leaving them in
the lurch I always stood highest in
my lectures And then when It came
to selecting a president for the class I
made the race When the voting start
ed I ran second but at the Inst well
I ran ahead of all of the other candi
dates Theres no doubt about It Im
a runner Of course when the base
ball season opened the crowd wanted
me to get on the team At first I hes
itated because I realized my superi
ority but persuasion succeeded I
went on the team and the way I ran
bases was a positive shame Then I
went into the track meet I ran ten
yards in ten seconds almost equaling
the worlds record Yes I am a run
ner Then
Then you ran Into debt interrupt
ed Old Man James with a distinctive
grunt and I have to pay you out

DARK DOINGS
The Reason One Woman Is Disgusted
With the Voting Proposition
When any one asked little Mrs Pratt
her opinion on the question of equal
suffrage she had her answer ready
I dont want to hear anything about
it she would say pleasantly but firm
ly and Id just as soon tell you why
Its because theres got to be a con
cealment and mystery about voting
and I like things open and aboveboard
Its the way I was brought up and the
way I shall always feel if I live to be
a hundred
Ive had one experience and thats
all I want A friend of mine talked
and talked to me about voting on the
educational question till at last I said
I would because I was brought up to
think a great deal of education and I
always snail So I gave up an engage
ment to go to the polls and register
and the dress was almost spoiled on
account of my missing that trying on
too because she didnt wait to see
whether it fitted or not but stitched
the seams right up and then I took
the greatest pains to go and vote just
as theyd told me to and what do you
suppose Henry Pratt told me after
ward My vote was thrown out be
cause I bad the frankness to write my
full name and address on it
I told Henry that nothing would
surprise me after that nothing
Aragos Modesty
Arago the great French scientist
was never seen with a decoration on
his breast He valued honors lightly
One evening Leverrier the astronomer
called on him on his way to dine with
a minister ne expressed a wish to
appoar decorated with an order to
which he was entitled having received
the official notice of the honor al
though he had not as yet the decora
tion itself
Open that drawer said Arago
and take whatever you want
In that drawer were all the crosses
and ribbons which kings and empe
rors confer
While Arago wished above every
thing to promulgate science and to
make his researches useful he did not
attempt to identify himself forever
with his discoveries by writing books
ne had no time for writing but con
tented himself with- noting the results
of his work in the record of the bureau
of longitude or announcing it verbally
to the academy
The Valuables
The man with a wife and seven chil
dren hauled up in front of the hotel
desk registered jrot his bellboy and
was starting off when the clerk think
ing maybe he might jolly the new ar
rival called to him
I beg your pardon he said but
hadnt you better leave your valuables
in the safe
Do you think I ought to inquired
the man innocently enough to hear
him say it
Well it is the best plan
All right said the man and turn
injr to his wife Here Mary pass the
children over to the gent behind the
counter Hell look after them and
give us a rest
Whereupon the clerk apologized

A Bitter Retort
Do you think he asked that you
could learn to love me
I dont know she answered I
might but if I were a man Id hate
to think that I was an acquired taste
