The Change That Was Wrought
The little man was explaining to his
audience the benefits of physical cul
ture Three years ago he said I
was a miserable wreck Now what do
you suppose brought about this great
change in me What change said
a voice from the audieuce There was
a succession of loud smiles and some
persons thought to see him collapse
But the little man was not to be put
out Will the gentleman who asked
What change kindly step up here
he asked suavely 1 shall then bo
j better able to explain Thats right
TJien grabbing the witty gentleman
by the neck When I first took up
physical culture I could not even lift a
little man Now suiting action to
word I can throw one about like a
bundle of rags And finally he flung
the interrupter half a dozen yards
along the floor I trust gentlemen
that you will see the force of my argu
ment and that I have not hurt this
gentlemans feelings by my explana
tion There were no more interrup
tions
Two Collars on a Dog
Having bought a dog that he admir
ed a man undertook to buy a dog col
lar The dog had a neck nearly as big
as his head and the dealer advised the
man to buy two collars
What for said the man Hes
only got one neck so I guess he can
get along with only one collar cant
he
Maybe so said the man so the
man went away leading the dog by his
new collar and chain In less than a
week he brought the dog back
Im afraid I cant keep him he
said He is too obstreperous I cant
keep him tied up His neck is the big
gest part of him and he is as strong
as an ox therefore it is a cinch for
him to slip his collar off
That was why I wanted you to take
two collars said the dealer Put
both on and fasten the chain to the
back collar and he can tug away all
night without getting loose He may
commit suicide but he won t get
loose New York Sun

The sad youth swallowed a sob
Is there nothing left for us then
but an elopement said he
Nothing
The girl was fond but firm
Do you think Clementine that you
could abandon this luxurious home
forget all the enjoyments of great
wealth banish yourself forever from
your devoted parents hearts and go
west with a poor young man to enter
a home of lifelong poverty and self
denial
I could Rodolphus
The sad youth rose wearily and
reached for his hat

the sumptuousness that some day he

A Cold Ride
All through his life Senator Dolliver
of Iowa had a horror of fast trains
and possible railroad wrecks Once he
was on a train with Vice President
Fairbanks
Dolliver awoke in the middle of the
night and it seemed to him that thn
train was going at terrific speed He
climbed out of his berth and arrayed
only in his pajamas started down the
length of the train to find the con
ductor and ask him to order the train
run at less speed It Avas a cold night
but the senator did not mind that until
the door of his car snapped shut and
locked behind him and he found that
the door of the next coach was also
locked He rode sixty five miles locked
out in the cold of the vestibule before
he could wake up anybody to let him
in Mr Fairbanks finally heard his
cries for help and rescued him New

Necks and Legs of Animals
With few exceptions there is a mark
ed equality between the length of the
necks and of the legs of both birds and
quadrupeds and whether they be long
or short is determined chiefly by the
place where the animal must go for
its food This is especially noticeable
in beasts that feed constantly upon
grass in whicli case the neck has just
a slight advantage in that it cannot
hang perpendicularly down Croco
diles lizards and iish have practically
no necks Fowls that feed in the
water also offer an example of this
correspondence between the members
with the exception of swans and geesG
and some Indian birds which gather
their food from the bottom of pools
and must have long necks for that pur
pose while the short legs make it
more convenient for them to swim
