NEW SHORT STORIES
Ji-ke Wil on the Mayor.
The mayor of the city of Chicago,
with a imirry jarty of friends, enjoyed
&D uutu trip aeroas iowa. It was 8u
suoiiuer weather, the country field
abounded with luxurious growth, aud
the well kept, spriusy roads made the
trip au exhilarating as well as a speed
one.
When nearlug Des Moines the mayor,
wishing to make sure be was taking
the right road toward the capital city,
brought the chugging motor to an ab
rupt stop before a wry respectable ap-1
pearing farmhouse.
"Hello, there!" he shouted, observ
ing a farmer with broad headgear en
ergetically wielding a scythe in a bay
Held off from the road.
"Hello, there!" again shouted the
city executive, gesticulating vigorously
as the farmer once more paused to
gaze at the caller.
fc But, as before, he ignored the com
mand and went on reaping. Somewhat
put out, tuo mayor sent his chauffeur
"TKLX. THE QEHTX,EK42f I AU VBKY BUST.
Into the field after the obstinate reaper.
"Don't you see that gentleman mo
tioning to you out there?" demanded
the chauffeur, pointing toward bis
party.
"Well, he requests that you step to
the fence and tell him about the roads
to the city!"
"Tell that gentleman I'm very busy,
but if he'll cooio Into the field I'll give
him the information."
"Sir, do you realize who my master
out there is?"
".No. Who is be?'
"He's the mayor of Chicago!"
"So? Tell lilm be is doubly welcome
la the hayfleld. I'm the governor of
Iowa mym-lf !" Des Moines Register.
A Misapprehension.
Judge Hough of the United States
circuit court was discussing at a legal
dinner in New York a misapprehended
law.
"Tills law is perhaps obscurely
worded, at least from the popular
point of view," he said, "and that
periiHps l: why It Is so totally oils-appi-i
'leudtd.
"The misapprehension of this law re
mind.; nu- of a southern millionaire.
He cu.H' oast for his wife's sake and
took a n.'th avenue house. There the
lady ifltui'-jed as madly as society
would let her into the social amuse
ments of the season. On toward the
season's end she fell ill, and a phy
sician, after examining her, reported
to her husband.
" 'Well, doe, what's the verdict? the
southern millionaire inquired anxious
ly. "'Your wife, sir, the doctor an
swered, 'is suffering, I regret to say,
from functional derangement,'
"The millionaire's eyes filled with
tears.
" 'Doc,' he said, 'I told her she'd go
under If she didn't stop gadding about
to all them swell functions, and now,
by gee, she's deranged. Is she liable
to be violent?" "
Hr Blushes Wire Hidden.
Alfred O. Vanderbllt at the Lang
Branch horse show said of the sheath
skirt:
"You know those thick double veils,
similar to a Turkish woman's, that
they have been wearing in Newport
this summer? Well, they say in New
port that the other day an extremely
pretty girl appeared In a very daring
sheath skirt
"Her father took her to task about it
" 'Don't you think,' he said, 'that
the skirt you wore this afternoon is
most Immodest?
" "But, papa,' said she, 'I wear one
of those thick double veils with it "
A Boston Touch.
'Once upon a time De Wolf Hopper
met a Boston person In that town j
whom he had not seen for a long j
period of duration. j
"Hello! How are you?' Where nave
you been?" said Hopper in his hearty
way. giving the New York pronuncia
tion to the word "been."
"I'lense don't say 'bin.' but 'been,'"
pleaded the Boston person plaintively.
"Sorry, but I can't," pleaded the big
fellow. "I never had a bean in my
mouth in my life, not even In Boston."
