An Irishman who was repalriug a
chimney on a housetop fell from the
roof mid luckily lilt several clothes
lines that broke Ills tall until he landed
uninjured on a wire about twenty feet
from the ground. After he had strug
gled there for a few moments the man
deliberately let go and fell with a
heavy bump on the ground. Another
workman ran and picked hiin up aud
asked, "Phat the dlvvll did ye let go
for, you bluntherln' blockhead?"
"Faith." was the reply. "1 was afraid
the domn'd wire would break."

A Chinese missionary, a lady, was
taking ten with a mandarin's eight ?
wives. The Chinese ladies examined
her clothing, her hair, her teeth, nnd so
on, but her feel especially amazed ; i

"Why." one cried, "you can walk nnd
run ns well as n man:"
"Yes, to lie sure!" said the mission

"Can you ride a horse and swim
too?"
"Ve9."
"Then you must lie ns strong as a

"I am."
"And you wouldn't let a man bent

would yon?"
"Indeed, 1 wouldn't!" said the mis- ;

after the lady's departure.

He Thought It Peculiar,
Some years ago Frank A. Munsoy,
the magazine man, hired a private sec
retary. S|>eaker Beed dropped in to
call on Mr. Mnnsov, who was an old
friend of his. The secretary said that
Mr. Munsoy was engaged.
"All right." said Beed. "I'll wait."
At the end of half an hour Munsey's
door opened, and the publisher ap
peared, showing ills caller out.
Seeing the speaker, he grasped his
hand and dragged him Into his office.
An hour later, when Beed had gone,
Mr. Munsoy called his secretary.
"Look here. Block." he said, "what
do you mean liy letting Speaker Beed
wait unannounced half an hour?"
"Wa-wa-wath that Mr. Beed?"
"It certainly was."
"Why, I thought it watli the Bev.
Dr. John ITall." said the secretary,
"Dr. Ilall has been dead two years,"
answered Munsoy severely.
"I know it." replied the secretary.
"Thath why I thought It wath thovery
peculiar."

A murder case had been called In
court, and it was extremely difficult to
get a jury. A long list of talesmen
had beeu examined with poor results
when Mike McUinnis was summoned.
"Mr. McCinnis," asked the judge,
"have you formed or expressed an
opinion as to the guilt or iuuocencc
of the prisoner at the bar?"
"No, sir," replied Mike.
"Have you any conscientious scru
ples against capital punishment?"
"Not in this case, your honor," MJke
replied.

Harvey Nanigun's mother-in-law was

They had a frightful time with the old

"It was a close shave," said the doc

[.?Should the Man Smoke
at j^ome ?
COLONEL JOHN SNEKD, harlng
dluetl with satisfaction to him
self aud pleasuro to his wife,
lighted a cigar and strolled
i round the corner to the modest cot
Inge In which his son-in-law had re
cently established himself. ' '
"Where's William?" he Inquired
after he had paternally pecked at the
pretty Hps presented to him and ac
cepted the comfortable seat In the tir
ing room. ''Hope he's at home."
"Yes, he's at home, papa," the daugh
ter replied, and a rosier flush cfame
Into her cheeks as she added, "He's
just gone to tho woodshed for a mo
ment." ? ']
Colonel Sneed noticed tho heightened
color, and his curiosity was aroused.
"It's a pretty warm day," he re
marked, with a twinkle in his eyei "I
don't reckon he's goln' to build a fire,
Is he?"
"No, papa. It Isn't that. 1 told? he
thought? 1? I? he went out there to
smoke."
"What," exclaimed the colonel? "gone
to the woodshed to smoke! What in
the world! Why don't he get on the
roof or sit on the gatepost? Why
ilon't he come Into the house or? say,
little girl, Is this some of your doln's?"
And he looked at his daughter sternly
through the incense that arose from
his cigar.
"Well, well, papa," she replied falter
lugly, "I don't want blm to smoke-In

begin right and"?

wanted an after dinner smoke; forte
tilin to roost with the chickens while
he contemplates the vanity" of life In
general and of uiatrlm6'iiy In particu
lar! Go and tell him to'?ome heretic,
wait a minute, little girl. '-Just-iet
bliii keep on roostln' for a Uttl* bit
while 1 tell you somethln'.
"This world, honey, wasn't fitted up
as a habitation for cherubims and
tilings of that sort It was made for
mortal men and women, and you caa't
turn a man Into an angel without call
in' Id the undertaker. I believe every
body ought to be good, '"but there's
sucb a thing as beln' too fcood to be
Interesting. It's the little faults I'ta
talkln' about, you understand? the fall
lu's that all of us Have, more or leas
of, and wouldn't bo exactly butoaa
without. 1 don't know whether lfa
exactly right to call 'em blessln's, Wit
it seems to me that they set kind of
like safety valves and keep us from
Join' worse things. Anyhow, It's been
my experience, an' I've been here a
long time, honey, and kept my eyes
open? It's been my experience that a
man who dou't appear to have any
faults had better bo watched. The
natural boru cussedness '11 pile up In
side of btm until s6me day he'll bunt
out and 'stonlsh the natives. 'That's
why 1 say, honey, that It 'won't
bottle a man up too tight Unless you
have an outlet for the meanness thsfe
In him you're likely to have trouble,;
and 1 don't know of any better outlet
for masculine depravity thau a good
cigar.
"Now, little girl, you've married a
man. I've been watcbln' William pretty
ciose since x cr.no
home, nnd I'm
tolerably well
satisfied that he's
the real thing.
He's got some
rough edges that
might be sandpa
pered down with
benefit to himself
and to you, but
1 want to fflrs
you a straight tip,
little girl, and
ths*. Is that the
smonthln' oat
process will go a
wholo Tot Wsler
when he's got a
IN 8UAPE TO SUBMIT, good Clg&r
twecn his teeth. There's somethin'
about bumln' tobacco that makes a i lan
more susceptible to ifnpresalona Worn
without and more readily' lnflueirted
by reflectlous from within. "Xit'lihu
have a mild Havana, fix him up com
fortable In an easy chair, and he's In
shape to submit to most any kind of
u domestic operation that Is prompted
by love and reasbn. He ain't doped.
Smoke don't steal away a '"liifck'i
brains. On the contrary, It stimulates
his Intelligence and opens his eyes to
a better '-appreciation of the beauty
and goodness around blra, while at
th? atoio tjiuc It softens his heart and
soothes his nerves. It has a tendency
to make a man more amiable and
moro amenable, and after a good many
?years of observation, my dear, I am
pretty well satisfied that there's noth
'?too much tobacco."
In' that'll promote matrimonial har- 1
toony like u good cigar smoked at
-faotae. You never beard of a man
with a cl^ar In bla mouth breakln' up
the furnltaro or draggln' bis wlfo
around the room by the hair of her
bend, did you 7 No, I f.uess not! Nor
-Ktjton't Induce blm to sneak out Into
the kitchen and kiss the cook, either.
Its Influence is always In the direc
tion of virtue. Many a crisis, domes
tic and otherwise, bas been prevented
by the contemplative restraint of a
good cigar. You needu't smile, little
girl. That'B no Joke. Of course you
can always get too much of a good
thing. Too ? much tobacco will work
harm In time, but so will too much
bam ftud eggs, and tho man who
smokes at home Isn't half as likely to
overdo it bb the man who has to go
oat In the woodshed or to the corner
saloon or to the club.
"And thAt brings me around to the
main point that I want to press into
yout ? pretty little bead. You've got
your hair fixed mighty nice this even

huh! Looks line. But, as I was about
