THE MANIA
FOR SOUVENIRS
- ?
I had uit't -jve before. lu fnot.
meeting him bad become a sort of
tuiut The i.i>t time I saw him he
was hanglug by his feet, un apoplectic,
squirming iuuim. un tlie facade of War
uav castle. kitting tiie stone of elo
quence. .My camera caught hitu Id the
act. "?:a?ir lie sputtered when 1 told
h!ru thr.t his feat was Immortalized.
"Is my face lu It? Send me one. will
you? That'll prove to the folks back la
Zauesvllle that I did It."
I had ruu across blm again lu Lon
don. where ull ways meet. I was saun
tering around the Whltechnpel ghetto,
and through the window of au alley
tavern I noticed two men drluklng
?tout. One was a "bobby" In uniform.
His eyes were bleared and bis face
purple. The profile of the other looked
familiar. I walked In and beheld?
Jones. The policeman, startled by my '
Intrusion, brought himself together and
wabbled out. Jones turned to me with ,
a look of vast reproach.
"Glad to see you again, old man. but
?why In the deuce couldn't you stay
away a little longer? I'd have had It In
half an hour more."
"Had what?"
"Why, his club. Lord, what a sou
venir that would have made!"
Our ways parted again for awhile. I
was riding a wheel over the crest of
the Black forest near Tltlsee. pumping
slowly to the top of the long, white
road. A pine cone struck my handle
bar. another knopked my bat off, and
1 looked up. An aerial voice emitted a
Tyrolean halloo with much unction,
and I saw a swaying speck silhouetted
against a cloud. My Instinct told me It
wag J one*.
"Hey. old man!" he yelled, trumpet
ing through his hand, "take my pic
ture?quick. You're Just In time. Can't
hold on much longer. Camera's itf foot
rf tree. Lost it halfway up."
His camera was smashed, so I used
my own. "Were you expecting me?" I
asked when he shinned down, with
barked hands and frayed trousers.
"No, not exactly. Look here? big
?eat Dine cone in Germany, from the
tallest tree 011 top of the highest hill In
the Schwarzwald. There's something
worth while!"
I admitted It. and we stood survey
ing the panorama of mounded hills
and deep crt gorges full of. the sound
of fulling water.
"Lovely!" I ?murmured.
"What? Oh. yes. I s'pose It Is. But
say? I wonder if I couldn't find a big
ger cone somewhere In these parts.
Let's move on."? Wilfred H. Alburn In
Ostlng Magazine.
Freo Lunch For a Lion.
He was selling suspenders on the
?treet, but ho declared that in his
palmy days he had been Professor
Plccolomlnl, the lion tamer.
"What made you give it up?" he
was asked.
"Well, you see It was this way. One?
I was engaged to tame a lion called
Frederick Barbarossa, who was cer
tainly a wild proposition.
"But I was equal to the task. By
slow and gradual steps I taught Fred
erick good manners. I used to walk
into his cage, snap a whip, make him
do stunts and all that sort of thing.
Everything went along beautifully.
But I got Into trouble when I tried to
teach Frederick to eat out of my
hand."
"How?"
"Why. he ate three fingers out of
my hand, confound him! Have a pair
of suspenders? They work without
hitching. Twenty-flve cents." ? New
York Times.
A Boomerang.
A very rich, very economical and
very parsimonious young squire was
making preparations for a tenants'
ball some years ago and at his wine
merchant's discovered a cheap brand of
champagne. "This," he said, "Is a j'
good brand of champagne. It is quite
good enough for those people who will
come to my tenants' ball. They
couldn't tell the difference, anyway."
Accordingly lie ordered a dozen cases
of the cheap wine. A day or two be
fore the evont. picking up his news- ?
paper, he noticed that his wine mer
chant had a half page advertisement,
lie ran his eye over It and saw In big
black letters the paragraph, "Try our
celebrated champagne at 3S shillings a '
dozen, as ordered by Gobsa Gold. Est]., |
for his forthcoming tenants' ball."? ? '

Pat Was Going Some.
An Englishman, nu Irishman and n
Scotchman were one day arguing an to

the fastest trains.
"Well." said the Englishman, "I've
been In on? of our trains, and the tele

"I've seen the milestones appear like
tombstones." said the Scot.
"Be Jabers,". said Pat, "I was one
day In a tr^iln In my country, and we
pawed a field of turnips and n field of
carrots, alao a field of cabbage and
parsley, then a pond of water, and we
were going that quick I thought it was

Business Hours In Honolutu.
Business manners In Honolulu lack
the strain and flurry of the mainland
city. The hard, white, anxious Chicago
face no man wears here. The dodging
and hurrying to go around the man in
front are never seen. The accent of life
is on men. not money or machines.
There Is not much doing before 10
o'clock, aud at 4 the safes are locked,
the desks are shut, and the men who
do things are off for a ride or a swim
or a game of tenuis. Here a man doas
hla business.? Chicago News.
