Needless Alarm.
Dangerous things look safe, and safe
things look dangerous. The trouble is
all In the beholder's eye, as the common
expression is. An Englishman was on
a voyage to Spain.
Ships were flying by of varying
shape, rig and color. One, the English
man noticed, was bearing slowly down
toward bim, with her cargo piled on
deck halt way up the masts, What
could she be? How could she hope,
laden in this way, to live ont the faint
est suspiciou of a gale?
The English traveler was consider
ably exercised about her. Something
surely ought to be done to make such
rascally "deck loading" Illegal and im
possible. He scanned the vessel with
his glass. The breeze was. light, but
she rode buoyantly. At last a sailor
cleared up the mystery.
"Why,, sir," he said bluntly, "she's
only a coaster loaded with cork."
Advantage of AdvertUingr.
"Will you allow me to ask you a
question?" interrupted a man in the
audience.
"Certainly, sir," said the spellbinder.
"You have, been giving us a lot of
figures about immigration, increase in
wealth and all that," said the man.
"Let's see what you know about fig
ures yourself. How do you find the
greatest con.nion divisor?"
Slowly atfd deliberately the orator
took a drink of water.
Then he pointed his finger at the
questioner, lightning flashed from his
eyes, and he replied in a voice that
made the gas jets quiver:
"Advertise for it, you ignoramus!"
