When a man In tired, bt stretches his
arms and legs and yawns. Birds and

example. ., .
Birds-spread tbelr feathers and ntso

Fish yawn; they open tbelr months
slowly until they are round, tbe bones
of the bead seem to loosen, and the
gills open.
Dogs art Inveterate yawsers and
stretchers, but seldom sneese unless
they have a cold. Cats are always
stretching tbelr bodies, legs and daws,
as every ou knows wbo has a cat for
a pvt.
Horses stretch violently when and
after .Indulging In a roll, but not, as a
rule, on all fours.
A stag when stretching sticks out bis
head, stretcbes bis fore feet out and
hollows bis back and neck as though
trying to creep nadi r a bar. -
Vot-t ruminant aalnmls stretch when
they rise np after lying down. Deer
do It regularly; so do cows. This fact

Tho faculty of terse nud forceful
sreech Is ordinarily an advantage, but.
occasionally a mun gets hoisted by bis
own epigram. A hoxtlliig young New
Yorker r who was reeeutly established
In a branch of the oil business bad set
out to get the patronage of a certain
firm. The bead of the concern was re
luctant to make a change.
"The oil we have lieen getting has
not been unsatisfactory," said be, "and
I full to see why we should make a
change. Are there any extra Induce
ments you can 'offer? How do you pro
pose to Improve on tbe old quality?"
"In this way," was the prompt an
swer. "I propose to give the business
my personal attention. I Intend to put
some of my brains Into every barrel of
oil we send out"
The rejoinder pleased the old gentle
man, and he became a customer.
,'A few months later the Uiustling
young man was obliged to make a Jour
ney, and In bis absence, through soma
oversight tbe quality of oil was allow,
ed to deteriorate. It was quickly noted,
and a letter on file In the office record
one of the protests. It reads: "Gentle
menWhen wo were Induced to use

A good story' Is told by an Engllitli
tourist who staid for a week In apart
ments In Aberdeen, tbe "Granite City."
"I bad heard," he says, "of the canny
folk of Aberdeen, and my experience,
abort though It was, proved that rumor
had rightly estimated the chin-act er or'
the people. : Tbe streets are granite,
the bouses are granite, and tht Inhab

a granite baby tbey give It a bull f

provided tbe lunch, the rod and the
lines; he provided ' the wormn-ilus
them up In a" neighbor's garden with a
borrowed spade. I caught ID trout; he
ate the lunch and broke my best rod.
When we got borne, I made a present
of 14 of tbe fish to my granite lnndhuly

admitted to practice a short time ago
and recently bung out bis shingle. His
office Isn't a very pretentious affair,
but he didn't think It necessary to
apologise to bla friends for hit little

tioned off for the nse of bla "clerk."
Tbe other day lightning struck, and
the door opened slowly, while a voice
charged with a strong Irish accent ask
