A few days ago a man showed us
one of those double barreled pipees in
which the nicotine goes into the
shaft and the smoke comes out of
the tunnel He sat around the of'
floe and bragged about his prize un
til we got interested and asked him
where he got It. He told us that it
came from a Chicago catalogue house
and cost him fifty cents. That is flfty
cents was the catalogue price, but he
had to pay five cents for a money
order and two cents for a sump. He
sent his fifty cents and got a notice
back that It required eighteen cents
for postage which was sent and an
other 'two cent stamp was attached to
the envelope. In about a month his
pipe came and the man was happy j
and so was the catalogue house.
Desiring to be happy ourselves we
went to a local store and purchased
one which cost us seventy-five cents.
The merchant felt good over tho tran
saction and gave us back a dollar for
some extra papers and that dollar has
paid dozens of debts and made dozens
of people at home feel better and to
day it came back again for some ad
vertising and we are going to send It
out to the barber who will take it
to the butcher and he will let the
baker have it and then the saloon
keeper will get it and by and by it
will come back and go again doing
good to everyone.
?The catalogue man's pipe cost him
???venty-seven cents and he never
saw and never will see his money
again. Puzzle: Find the foolish man.

THE SUNSHINE TRIO.
Castro, Hamid and the Shah ? gay
tat bunch you ever saw! Where Salt
River waters foam, they have made
their sylvan home, far from all the
grief and groan, of the palace and the
throne; far from all the stress and
strife, clinging to the Simple Life;
far removed from busy mart, they are
Close to Nature's Heart; hand in
band they form a ring, on the river's
shore and sing; "We're the jolly
Cheer Up Buys: Grief is foolish, Joy
is wise! Once we clung to robe and
crown, but we'll try to live it down!
Scepters all are out of plumb, thrones
are strictly on the bum, power's the
shadow of a shade, fame is circus
lemonade! Harem life Is stale and
flat, women all become so fat. No
thing human is worth while ? nothing
but the Cheer Up Smile, nothing but
the Joyous song that we carol all day
long. We're the happy Cheer Up
Kids, joyous as the katydids; come
and join us queens and kings! Fire
your crowns and kindred things;
come and join our merry ring, come
and dance with us and sing; gladness
is our law ? Castro. Hamid and the
Shah!" ? Walt Mason.
The memory of a great love can
never die from out the heart. It
affords a ballast 'gainst all the
storm9 that blow. And although
It lends an unutterable sadness, it
lmparta an unspeakable peace. ? Elbert
Hubbard.

A London journal nays that n lively
discussion oncc took place iu a town
council In the north of England. One
thing led to another til) one of the
disputants gave another the lie direct.
The Insulted party rushed forward,
and the pair clinched. At that mo
ment the first man exclaimed, "1 re
iterate that you are a liar!" To tho
astonishment of every one, the aggriev
ed party let go his hokl. "Oh, well,"
he said, "In that case I accept tho j
apology. If a man says he reiterates, |
that Is all any gentleman can ask." He
did not understand why the bystand
ers laughed, but the tight was off.
Anything to Oblige.
While crossing the ocean the two 1
sprightly children of very seasick par
ents were scampering around the deck.
"Tom, dear," said tho mother in a
weary voice, "the children are too near
the railing." Rut he was too ill to no
tice, and In sheer desperation his wlfo
nudged him on the arm. "Speak to
them, Tom." she said faintly.
With a waif smile he lifted his head
and said. "Eh? how do you do?"? La
