"Now," said the farmer to his

and lell him 10 have it prepared

He did the telephoning, but the
wife broke up the whole show in
the dining room because he had
ordered something which she
did not like. Drawing herself up
very erect, she exclamed in a shrill,
angry voice:
"Are these our breakfast?"

BETTER PROSPECTS AHEAD.
Two tramps were crossing a
bridge over a river one day, when
they saw a notice which read:
"Five dollars will be given to any
one saving life from this bridge!"
"You jump in, Bill, and I'll come
and rescue you," said one.
"Right-ho," said the other.
"And then we can enjoy the quid."
Accordingly one of the tramps
plunged into the river and began
to yell lustily for help. Mike, safe
on the bridge, turned to his friend
struggling in the water and with
an excited countenance, called
out:

The car seems like a winged bird,
Unless, Phil, you're riding with the girl you loved the best.
Then staid old Dobbin and a cart seem suited to the case,
For then she needs no auto veil to hide her darling face;
Nor do you have to honk a horn that sounds so sore distressed;
And you can drive with just one hand, and ah, you know the rest !
Old Dobbin will jog-trot along, his gait both safe and sane,
And it really doesn't matter much if you should drop your rein.
But in the car you've got to steer,
And so you haven't time to tell the
A car is splendid with a friend, no matter how it "woggles,"
But you can't "look love" at a girl when both are wearing goggles.
Nor can you hold her little hand swathed in a dogskin glove.

THE OTHER WORLD.
Pretty Ulrls a Plenty In Great
Hereafter.
"Bmug doail is not as blank
as it is painted says a Philadel
phia writer. There are as many
good looking girls in the realm
of the dead as the living. There
are quite as many delightful
people,"
This statement, according to
Henry I. Hotehner, thecmopist,
comes from the "bourne from
whence no traveler returns,"
In a lecture in the rooms of the
Philadelphia Theosophical So
ciety Hotcliner says this state
ment was made, through a
psychic medium by a 19-year-old
youth, who died several
months ago.
His chief recreation in the
''astral plane," the young man
said, is flying through space at
the rate of 10,000 miles a sec
ond. Some swim and some
play tennis, if they like those
sports on earth. But the young
man in question, after trying
the game on an earthly ground
at the close of an earthly tour
nament, voted it a failure.
Of the transition from this to
the other the spirit is said to
have divulged :
"Nine out of ten persons do
not know they are dead. Every
physical attribute has its coun
terpart in the astral plane. Of
the last few days of my life I
remember nothing. It was like
a dream. When I awoke I was
in familiar surroundings. Then
I was greeted by a kindly voice,
"None dies without someone
to welcome him. Everyone is
surprised to find those in this
world ready for fun."
The lad told of seeking the
side of his mother and sisters.
Chief earthly congregating
places of the spirits of the dead
in great nunibern are about or
gans in churches and in meet
ings, where men are trying ''to
pierce the veil which separates
them from the other world,"
So the medium says.
SHE CAMR "IN TWO.'
A lady with a wasp-like waist
fainted in the street one day, and
was carried into the nearest drug
store. An Irishman who had ob
served the occurrence looked into
the store after a few minutes and
inquired:
"How is she?"
"Oh," said the druggist, "she
is coming to."
"Ah," replied Pat, "come in
two, has she. Poor thing. Be
dad, it's just that I was afraid of."
-Tid Bits.
THE DOO WASN'T DEAD.
Olive and Gerald while out walk
ing met a vicious (bulldog, and
Gerald's conduct in the next few
moments left much to be desired.
When they had safely passed, Olive
turned to Gerald and said reproach
fully: "Why, Gerald! And you
said you would face death for
me.
"I know I did," answered Ger
ald, "and I mean it. But that bull
dog wasn't dead."
NOT TOO SIGNIFICANT.
The Irishman had had a serious
accident and had been hustled off
to the hospital to be operated upon.
As he lay upon the bed he beckon
ed to the nurse and said weakly:
"I'll not be operated upon by
that doctor. Ye must find another
one."
"Why?" remonstrated the nurse.
"He's one ot the cleverest surge
ons living."
"May be." was the reply, "but
he has an unlucky name. I heard
them say his name was Dr. Kil
patrick, and ye see, my name is
latrick.
BOTH RELATED TO THE DOO.
A person entered an inn with a
dog and an Irishman asked what
breed it was.
The owner looked the question
er insolently up and down, and
then replied, with a drawl:
"It is a cross between an ape
and an Irishman."
"Faith, thin, we're both related
to the beast," was the retort.
