coming off duty late at night remarked an artist to a London Tit Hits writer The other morning at breakfast my landlady said to me Do yon know I bad an awful fright last night I put the key halfway under the door as usual when to my horror 1 -saw it drawn slowiy out of sight I of course thought some one had got the key and would unlock the door and come in ho I quickly bolted it and shouted through the keyhole My word if you dont bring that key back Not daring to retire to rest 1 sat quietjy listening for a time Then 1 got a table knife and pushed It under the door to see if the key had really been taken right away and to my surprise drew the key back again So very cautiously 1 un locked and unbolted the door looked out and found not a burglar but our own wicked cat who while sitting on the doorstep and seeing the key pushed under the door must have drawn the key out of sight with her paws think ing I was playing with her An American Joke From England The typical American says a con tributor to the English Illustrated Magazine although partial to making jokes lis often quick tempered and un able to recognize a joke made by an other with results that are sometimes unpleasant Thus a senator was once at a fash ionable dinner party at Washington when he was asked what fish he would take Waal he said I reckon Ill take plaice A wit who chanced to be present re marked with a twinkle in his eye Ah senator still a place seeker Yaas answered the senator at the same time whipping out a revolver and shooting the wit dead but whats that to you you dernd stranger Afterward when tho joke was ex plained to him the senator confessed that ho had acted rather hastily and to show that he bore no grudge he weut to the funeral of the inopportune wit A Queen Elizabeth Joke Queen Elizabeth liked her jokes and although her pleasantries were of a less sanguinary turn than her fathers she must have been even more for midable than usual when disposed to be frolicsome A tale may be found in one of Lord Essexs letters with regard to a new dress belonging to one of her maids of honor over the pos session of which the owner had been rash enough to exhibit some elation The young lady it seems was several inches taller than her majesty hardly perhaps quite a nice or loyal thing to be Having desired that the dress should be made over to her custody the queen first carefully selecting an extreniQly wet day waspleased to put it on and trail it for yards behind her in the mud the owner of the hu miliated garment having to appear as delighted with the royal fun and con descension as the rest of the lookers on London Tatler And All With Company There Now children said the mother as a whole roomful of company bad comb in suppose you run off and play by yourselves All

spose you wouldnt marry me U I were the only man on earth I wouldnt even be engaged to you responded the girl if you were the only man at a summer resort Kan sas City Journal Played It to the Limit Many writers have declared that an Irish gentlemans hospitality is unlim ited but this is a slight exaggeration as is shown by a story borrowed from a book of Irish memories Jerry Mctartie was often the guest of friends who on account of his pleas ant ways extended to him that sort of old Irish hospitality which enabled a visitor In my own family who camu for a fortnight to stay for six years In McCanles case the visit stretctied to nearly double that time After eight or nine years however his kins man got a little tired of his guest and let him know of his old mansions pro posed renovation and that he had sign ed a contract for having it painted from garret to cellar By George said Jerry its for tunate that I dont object to the smell of taint and it will be well to have some one to keep an eye on the paint ers now that the wall fruit is ripen ing Some months passed Then his host Informed him that he was going to be married adding I thought Id tell you in good time so that you could make leisurely preparations to go as the lady and you may not hit it off as well as you and I do With tearful eyes Jerry grasped his cousins hand saying Oh Dan dear you have my hearty thanks for your consideration but dear dear boy surely if you can put up with her I can Woodhopping as a Sport In Tasmania is to be found a national pastime that is special and particular to that state alone the sport of ood chopping It says mil i for the grit and vigor of Tasmanians that this really serious and arduous work should be regarded as the finest sport At Ilobart and Launceston they have their turf meetings their cricket foot ball golf cycling and so forth but to a woodehopping contest people will flock from far and near men women and children and watch the ax wield ers hewing away at huge blocks of timber as If life and reputation de pended upon the issue Thud thud thud go the axes and the splinters ily in all directions the judges calmly sit ting near taking notes of the strokes the spectators cheering the compet itors from time to time as franticallv as if they were race horses To be a woodehopping champion means some thing to a man in Tasmania Dundee Advert iser Look Prosperous or Pay In Advance While there is a good deal of tho American spirit prevailing in Sydney and Melbourne they do things there in a peculiar way said a traveling man It is hard to get used to them They have excellent restaurants there but they run on a peculiar plan A man goes in and sits down at a table and a waiter generally a woman hands him the bill of fare He makes out his order on a slip and before In is waited on the waiter goes to the cashier and has a little private talk with him The cashier looks over at the customer and if he appears to be good for the bill he is served other wise he is asked to pay in advance The meals are good and cheap The same careful scrutiny is made when a fellow registers at a hotel Good looks will go further than any amount of baggage Omaha Bee Clear Waste
