FOOLISH I'KIDi:
Senator (Sronrin said In a di.!Hii'ri ( the
uteri Mriko' "Strikes are often caused by pride
- pride as foolish and misplaced as that of tho
incurable in tho hospital."
"An incurable lifting his haggard head from
the pillow paid in n wan voice to a newcomer
with a crushed thumb:
"The worse we are. the better they like us
here Why pardner they won't think notrun'
o that there thumb o' yourn. Rut say if ye
had a big lump in yer inside like me goshal-
rnighty they wouldn't do a thing but make a
fuss over ye then! Trifles like your thumb the
young boy doctor sees to but when it comes to
big lump cases like me ye get four or five of
the high muckymucks tendin' to ye. IM yer
lifo!"
FLATTERY WON
"Younp- man did you kiss my daughter in
the hall last night?" said tho girl's mother
sternly.
"I thought I did" said the young man
promptly. "Kut really you look so young that
I can't always toll you and your daughter
apart."
The impending storm did not burst.
IT-TO-DATE SLANG
"Why do you say that I am old-fashioned?"
nsked the Old Fogy. "Hecause you always say
'omit' instead of 'cut it out' " replied the

Nobody will disagree with the statement of
Senator Halo in the Senate yesterday that the
country is ".-irk and tired" of the peace Treaty
debate' but his assertion that the Senate itself
wearv of it larks support in fact. Some

terrible ms the Ikiss had said? To test it he
touched it gently with his fmj'er. Jiing off
went Wash's finrer.
"As Wash was ruefully tying up his hand in
his bandana the boss cam back.
"Hullo there Washington; what's the mat-
ter?" "Puzz saw done rut off mah finger Ihss."
"How the dickens did that happen?"
"I'se dunno sail" said Wash "Jest tctched

PEACE AND WAR
"The peace treaty causes a good deal of
hard fighting among our politicians" said Geo.
M. Cohan tho New York playright.
"I understand that the other day a repub-
lican and a Democratic senator met in the lobby
of tho New Willard.
"Senator" said the republican "come over
here and let'a have a friendly discussion on
article X of the pence covenant."
Hut the Democrat senator -hook his head.
"I'm sorry senator" he Raid "but you'll have
to excuse me till next month."
"Senator why so?"
"Kecauso in a friendly agreement on the.
covenant with Senator Bing last week I dis-
located a knuckle of my left hand and what
do I amount to in a peace argument senator
without my famous left hook?"
DIDNT RECOGNIZE HIM
Harry Leon Wilson tho humorist tells this
story about prohibition.
"Prohibition" he said "is a good thing but
like lota of good things it comes a little bit
hard at first.
"I know a rich New York bachelor who didn t
believe in prohibition. He spent his evenings at
clubs and cabarets and the truth of the matter
is that for eight years he never once went home
sober.
"Hut prohibition came to New York and it
got my rich bachelor friend. One week after
the dry law went into effect he went homo
sober for the first time since 1911 and his dojr
bit him."

A NEW IDEA
Mrs. Clymer was giving a little dinner and
her housemaid left without notice during the
rr.omirg.
In despair the good lady tackled her new
rook. .
"Jh'io" she asked tearfully "what shall I
do? Can't you wait at table?"
"Not in the dining mom" was the cook's firm
re-j.nnse. "I'.ut I've had some canteen exper-
ience so if vou'd lino up your guests and send
them out here with their plates knives and
forks I'll see that they get all that's coming
to them:"
A T-ong Island farmer advertises for sale "A
cow that gives five quarts of milk a day also
two grindstones one set of harness and a hay
rake." Some cow we'll say.

A Jt DICIAL HON MOT
A very neat mot is credited to Judge Grover
in a ti:t at the bar with Judge Peck of PIul-
ad Ihia. The latter had delivered a particu-
larly rasping speech to which the former felt
ronrtiel!ed to reply in kind.
"Your Honor" he said "it rained last night
and 'his morning I took my course across the
Leid. and at almost every step I came upon
some slimv venomous creature that had issued
from its hiding place. Snails toads frogs
lizards worm snakes vipers adders every
description of loathsome reptile was to be seen
crawhmr. filled with venom; and yet; your
Honor trough there seemed so many of them
ail of them put together would not have made
up a Peck!"
TOO MUCH Cl'ROSITY
"Wh White once got a job in a saw mill.
The Ihss put him in charge of a buzz saw
showed him how the saw worked and then went
a av. .
"Wash was fascinated by the shining sing-
GOT A RAISE OUT OF HIM
"Whv Johnnie you've got a lumpen your
head. Have you been fighting again?"
"Fighting? No mam!"
"P.ut somebody struck you?"
"Nolwidy struck me. I wasn't fightin at all.
It was an accident."
"An accident?" .
"Yes mam. 1 was sitting on Tommie Brown s
head ami I forgot to hold his feet."
Si Perkins was discussing the high cost of
living with Lem Frisby "U-m." says he "back
in the good old days a dollar used to get up on
its hind legs and yell like a grand opera tenor
but now it makes n more noise than a kid
glove dropping into a bed of mortar. Just a
faint 'squahh' and nothing more.
PECUNIARY PROBLEMS
"Are you going to take any boarders next
summer?"
"No." replied Former Corntossel. hvery-
thin'g the lumrder eats goes up in value so much
that we feel we could have done better if we
had let 'em stay in town and pay the market
prices."
