JOKING IS A
I SERIOUS THING
There's one thing I thought 1 knew,
but tl'ul 1 don't know," sutil Tommy.
"What Is a joke?"
Father pricked up his ears, as it
were. "A Joke," he said slowly, "Is
something its maker thinks is funny,
but nobody else does."
"That explains it then. Today 1 said
an awful quaint thin*:. Mother had n
;ot of women here, and they talked
about clothes. 1 said: "A woman s
mind i-; always on clothes. When she
ain't talking through her hat she's
laughing up her sleeve.' But uo one
laughed, and I read that oue too. Tell
ino a joke."
"if | were to say when 1 came home
from visiting t'ae cemetery that 1 had
returned from the dead, that would be
a Joke."
"Is that a practical joke?"
"It Is not. It's a grave Joke."
"What's a practicr. I joke':"
"if your mother Just before going
gave her all she wauled."
"I>o you like practical jokes?"
"Not when they're as practical as j
that."
"Docs every oue like jokes?"
"Few people do. Most think It Is
more blessed to give than to receive."
"Then i>eople can't take a joke?"
?There are some who can't Kdltors, |
for Instance, rarely take a joke."
"Dives any one make money from the ]
writing of Jokes?"
"Only the papertnakers and the post- j
al department of the government."
"Must a Joke be funny to be a Joke?" I
"Few are."
"Then some are serious?"
"Not exactly. Cut if you refer to a
sexton as a man of grave cares some
might think you lutended to be jocu
lar."
"Is a pun like a joke?"
"Nothing at all. A man who makes
reus a man who
makes a pun Is a criminal."
-Then the umu who writes what he
thinks are jokes Is a funny fellow?"
"No; It Is a serious business with |
him."
"lie has his ups and downs, then?"
"Yes. lie gets up courage to write
to editors and gets turned down by
them."
"You're not referring to the man
who writes the colutnu In the papers
every day? Surely life Is oue Joke
with him."
"No. it isn't. He thinks lie's a hu
morist. but tie's a pessimist Ho'd
rather be a hodcarrler."
"Why. does a hodearrler make more
mouey 5"
"Well, lie litis a habit of cllmblug and |
often goes higher. Besides, the out
door work Is healthier."
"Isn't Joke writing healthy?"
"Not when you're caught at It."
"Can a man write jokes and still be
a gentleman?"
"You forget. Tommy, that our re
marks are Intended for publication j
and that 1 have many friends who ,
write. Besides. 1 sometimes get off a
joke or two myself." ? Philadelphia

The One Who Knew.
"Elijah," said the judge to the de
fendant. "you have had a fair trial.
The prosijcutlng attorney has shown
by circumstantial evidence that can
not In; gainsaid that you were In Mr.
Urowu's chicken coop on the night
that his hens disappeared, and your at
torney In bis speech has practically
admitted that the theory of the prose
cution is true. Have you anything to
say before the court pronounces its
decision ?"
"Jcdge," said Elijah, risiug politely,
"all I's got to say is dls. I don't know
much about de l iw, but 1 does know
heahsay evumdeuce Isn't good, an' all
dese lawyehs says is heahsay. I
oughter know, foh I uz de only man
In that chicken coop <lat night; an' I's
denied it ralnht erloug."? Chicago I'ost.
A Bli TACTLESS
"Dere cerfnly Is a coolness between
Mandv Jones an' Clay Jeffson dese
days." remarked Aunt Clorlnda to a
caller. "Is you got any Idee what's de
trouble?"
"Yes, I Is." was the gratifying an
swer. "Clay .leff'soti he done hurt her
feelings bad at de strawberry social,
an' Ma tidy Is gwltie t' hab dat boy
I'arn to be tno' carefuller in his talk
befo' she 'lows any mo' co'ting."
"What did hp do?" demanded Aunt
"'Twan' v ? ?t he do, 'twar what ho
say." iv .the well Informed visitor.
"Miss ( jy. dat was sarvlng de sho't
?>ake bhe ax Mandy will she hab a
sccond piece ob It, an' Mandy say. 'Jes,
a mouthful. Miss Colby, jes' a mouth
ful.'
"An' dat trlfllu' Clay Jeff'son he up
an' say. 'All you kin get on de plate.
Miss Colby,' he say.
"Co'se he tried to cxplalnlfy away all
do trouble, but I reckon he's got to
sarve his 'prentlcesliip befo' Mandy
'cepts any 'pologles."? Youth's Com

The sky was yellow, and Uk?

The heat poured down until the day was
done.
Red tho round moon aroae, and one by

Blossomed the atari and In the rlver'a

Behold their beauty, but the br?exe,
alas.
Refused to break the web the spider
spun!
Out with the dawn a little cloud drew
near.
Loading a host forth on the azure plain?
A distant rumblo, then a forest cheer.
And then a gust that whirled the weath

AT FRIENDS WITH LIFE.
pi I VK me green rafters and the quiet
V* hlllM.
Whore i>e:ice will mix a philter for my
Ills
Rafters of cedar and of sycamore.
Where I can stretch out on the fragrant
Moor
And see them poer, the softly stepping
shapes.
By the still pool where hang the tart wild
grapes.
THERE on the hills of summer let me
lie
On th<( cool grass In friendship with the
sky.
Let mc lie there In love with earth and
sun
And wonder up at the light foot winds
that run.
Stirring the dcllcato edges of tho trees
And shaking down a muslo of th? seas.
TJRING some old book? "The Romaunt
-*?' of the Roso"?
That song through which the wind of
morning blows.
I.et me stretch out at friends with life at
last.
Forgetting all tho clamors of the past?
The broken dream, the flying word un
just.
The fulluro and the friendship gone to
dust.
?Edwin Markham.
THE MISSOURI.
WHERE ranged thy black maned,
woolly bulls.
By millions, fat and unafraid;
Whero gold, unclaimed. In cra
dlefuls.
Slept mid the grass roots, gorge and
glade;
Where peaks companioned with the stars
And propped the blue with shining
white.
With massive silver beams and bars.
With copper bastions, height on height?
There wiLst thou born. O lord of strength!
O yellow lion, leap and length
Of arm from out an Arctic chine
To far, fair Mexlc seas are thine!
What colors! Copper, clay and gold
In sudden sweep and fury blent,
Enwound. unwound, enrolled, unrolled.
Mad molder of the continent,
Whr.t whirlpools and what choking cries
From out the concave rwlrl and sweep,
As when some god cries out and dies
Ten fathoms down thy tawny deep!
Vet on. right on, no time for death.
No tlmo to gusp a second breath!
We plow u pathway through the main
To Morro's castle, Cuba's plain.
Hoar sire of hot. sweet Cuban seas.
Gray father of the continent.
Fierce fashioner of destinies.
Of Btates thou hast upreared or rent.
Thou know'st no limit; sells' turn back
Bent, broken, from the shaggy shore.
But thou, in thy resistless track.
Art lord and master evermore.

Missouri, muster of the deep.
From snow reared Rockies to the sea
Sweep on, sweep on eternally!

NOWADAYS.
IN the golden maze of ttao dear old days
There was time enough and to spare.
The worlil was new and love waa true.
Men bravo and maidens fair.
A roi>o grown cot waa tho happy lot
Of the bridegroom and his bride,
And a garden gay with a primrose way.
And a moss green well beside.
BUT we're past all that, and a Ave room
flat
Is the home of tho modern pair.
No drlftwood'a light on the hearth at
night.
But a gas stove's glittering glare.
No moro he waits at the garden gates
White sho comes through the gloaming
pale.
She comes with tho page In the elevator
cago
To list to tho old, old tale.
HE brings no flowers fresh from fra
grant showers
That he's gathered In the dell.
Itut violets coy by a messenger boy
Ho sends his lovo to tell.
lie proposes by wlro In words of fire.
Twelve little words alone.
And she whispers "Yea"? as you may
guess
Over the telephone. ? Seleoted.

YIELDED TO CUTICURA
" Cuticura Remedies are all you claim
them to be. I had oczoma for over
two years. I had two physicians, but
they only gave me relief for a short timo
and I cannot enumerate the ointments
am! lotions I used to no purpose. My
initios were ono mass or sores. Tlio
itching and burning were so intense that
I could not sleep. I could not walk for
nearly four months. Ono day my
husband said I had better try the Cutl
cura Remedies. After using them three
times, I had tho best night's "est in
months unless I took an opiate. I used
Dno sot of Cuticura Soap, Cutlcura
Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent Pills,
and my ankles healed in a short timo.
It Is now a year sine* I used Cuti
cura, and there has been po return of
tho eczema.
" I had a small lump In tho corner of
my eye for over a year which was very
painful and got larger all tho time. I
thought I would try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment on it, and now it is gone. I
am seventy-three years old and have
lived on tno farm I now occupy for
twonty-seven years. Cuticura ilemo
dies are tho safest and most reliable I
have ever used for all skin humors. Mrs.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes

warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes

heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidnoys and warn you of tho ap
proach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright'
disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and euro them perma
nently. Hero Is proof In the state
ment of a fellow sufferer.
Thcodoro Josephson, 515 Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says:
"About fivo years ago I used Doan'
Kidney Pills and derived benefit
benefit At that time I was suffer
ing from pains across my back and
loins, often so severe that I was un
ablo to stoop or straighten. My kid
neys also bothered me a great deal,
the secretions generally being too fre
quont in passage. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my at
tention and I procured a box. I used
them and as a result my health Is
now excellent. I take a few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills now and then,
when feeling any sign of backache
and they never fall to removo the
trouble."
