A keen ?ense of humor got young
Joseph a. Prltchard, of Pittaburg, out
of ? sad pickle l?st week. A double
sense of tuo, to be exact, for if bis
papa hadn't possessed a large and mel
low. funov bone, which rang out merry
ha-h*'s when struck, the youth would
?till be lamenting the conwqueucM of
his rash action.
\ oung Prltchard, who Is a lad of 19.
has been courting Alice Myers, a las*
of biaownage. HI* father didn't ap
prove, and so the reckless young peo^
pie, who didn't have enough money to
buy*an oil stove and a framed "God
Bless Our Home" to start up house
keeping wllh, ran away to Youngstowu
and were married. The elder Pii'ch
ard was heartbroken and declared he
would never see his :ou again.
Tbe next day, however, he received
a humorous postal card from the boy.
On it waa the picture of a father with
hi* son over his knee vigorously apply
ing a slipper. "Dear old dad," the boy
wrote, "whso can we come home?"
The humor of it struck the father and
appeased him, and he sent them a tele
gram telling them to come home for ?
generous slice of the fatted calf.
That was :he wisest as well ?s the
jolliest course to pursue. When a
thing cannot be mended tbe best thing
to do is to accept it with a smile. If tbe
father had proved grumpy, the boy
would have grown sulky and defiant,
and there would have been hard feel
ings between them for years; while
now there will be no interruption to
the good times that two sou's so attuned
to humor can have together.
Life is too short, any .vay, to mope
and moan over the unavoidable. Make
a joke of it. and half of tbe sting will
be gone. Make two jokes and. by a
humorous algebraic prosreaaion, every
thing wi'l have vanished and you'll
have something of credit on the other
side.
The beat gift the gathering fairies
can bring to the cradle of the newcom
er is good health; then comes a good
disposition, and after that grit. This
is a trinity of virtues which only needs
good luck to turn it into a regular four
leaved clover. The men who have
made the most of themselves are those
who smile tbe sunniest when they are
stacked up against the greatest trou
bles. The world likes a man that can
Uugh at disaster, the wbile he is soak
ing ready to get a fresh and tighter
gf'P
Old man Pritchard was a good fellow
and his son will likely gro* up to be
one, loo.

WOMEN'S DRESS REFORM
Mrs. Elizabeth A. C. White, who
besides having a lot of initials at the
bead of her name is President of the
American Dressmakers' Association,
now in session in Ntw York, Is out
with an interview in which she goes
on record as being an advocate of the
dress re Torn; which is designed to con
ceal rather than accentuate the lines
and curves of the female form? Mrs.
White takes the ground that her move
ment is for the betterment of decency
and inorab generally. Mrs. White
may be successful, but It looks as
though it would be t hard proposition
to get the girls to give up their peek-a
boo waists, elbow sleeves and clock
worked stockings just for n form for
the maidens have many ideas they give
to the public for wearing their out
landish clothes. According to Lew
Dockstider one young lady said to a
swain who bad asked ber why she wore
such short skirts. ' Why; don't you
think short skirts make a girl look
shorter V" to which the young msn re
plied, "I don't know that it makes a
girl look shorter, but it makes a man
look longer," yet at that maybe they
are both right. This female dress re
form has too many ruffles and too many
curves for a man to master all of a
luJden.
The Pack Train Restaurant will serve
wine with dinner orders, free in place
of tea or ooffM. Come 92 boys.
