A Happy Farmer Boy
and His Pet Rooster.

Most city boys and girls might think
a big, lusty rooster a rather queer
pet, and so perhaps It is, but the boy
In the picture, who lives In Indiana,
has fine times in the company of bis
bird companion. He has had hira ever
since he was a wee chick, and they
know each other very well. Every
morning at sunrise Whitey begins to
crow, and as he has a fine, clear voice
the whole neighborhood hears him.
His master, however, does not always
respond immediately to his invitation
to get up, but when he does he car
ries corn and water to his early rising
comrade.
The Morning Enterprise is the best
breakfast food you can have.
Public Libraries.
In most public libraries all books
are disinfected when they are return
ed. They go into all sorts of places
and are read by sick people In their
homes and in hospitals; hence the precaution.

"Hereafter," said a smoker to his
wife, "I prefer to buy my own cigars,
darling. You are very good to volun
teer to do my cigar buying, but really
this bunch at twelve for a quarter is a
little too cheap."
"I know twelve for a quarter is,
chieap," his wife answered, "but I
thought there'd be one or two good
ones in the twelve." I3xeh;i use.
Some Queer Fiddles.
- There are quite a number of people
who collect musical instruments. Men
have been known to. pay tremendous
prices for Tiolins of rare make, merely
to place these instruments in collec
tions they were making of such things.
One of the greatest fiddles that ever
was known was to be seen at the
French court in the time of Charles
IX. This was a viol so large that sev
eral boys could be placed inside it
These boys used to sit inside this queer
instrument and sing the airs that the
man who handled the bow was play
ing on the viol outside. The effect is
said to have been very beautiful,
though it would seem as if the pres
ence of the lads in its interior would
seriously interfere with the tone of
the "great fiddle," as it was called.
Many years after another huge instru
ment of this kind was used at concerts
in Boston. It was so large that to play
it the fiddler had to stand on a table
to use his bow at the proper point on
the strings. This instrument was called
"the grandfather of fiddles." -
Slap Jack.
This Is a game of cards played by
not more than ten persons. The cards
are dealt one by one and placed In a
pile before each player face downward.
Then in turn each one takes a card
from the top of his pile and without
looking at It plays it in the- center of
the table. When a Jack is thrown on
the table all the players try to slap it,
and the one who does so first takes all
the cards in the middle of the table
and adds them to his pile. The object
is to obtain all the cards, and the one
who succeeds in this is the winner of
the game. -
Why Shoes Have Tongues.
Every one that wears lace shoes
knows that there is a tongue of leather
under the place where the two sides of
the shoe meet, but there is none in but
ton shoes. Probably very few persons
know that this is a comparatively mod
ern idea and is not for the purpose of
keeping the laces from hurting the in
step, but is to keep out rain and snow.
There would be no discomfort if the
laces touched the sock; but. no matter
how closely a shoe may be laced up,
there is always a slight space which
would allow rain to reach the stocking

Dollar Trick.
Take a medium sized bowl, fill it to
within an inch of the top with water.
Then place in the water a dollar coin.
Then you propose to the company that
the one who can remove the coin with
out wetting the hand may have 1L
None will try it, thinking it impossible
to do so. You have in your hand a
little Ucopodium, which can be got at
the druggist's, and throw it on the wa
ter, and you can draw out the coin
without wetting your hand.
A Chinese Class.
In China, far across the sea.
Where things are odd as they can be,
Tou never heard such dinjand noise
As In the schools for little boys'
Prom brightest pupil down to dunce
They study all out loud at once
In fact, they fairly scream and shout
At top of lungs their lessons out.
To do our studies quietly
In school is best for you and me.
But sometimes when we have to sit
So very still I think of it
How it would help like anything
To ease us In our fidgeting
If we could yell a bit, you know.

WHEN JACK DOYLE HAD HIS
TROUBLES AS A MANAGER.
Talking about "foreigners"
breaking into the 'game, Hughey
Duffy tells, a good one on Jack
Doyle, who managed the Milwau
kee Brewers about five years
ago. Doyle was also strong for
the Celt as the only real player
worth while, and the story goes
that Duffy ran across Doyle in
the east during the middle of the
playing season when the Brew
ers had crawled down to the cel
lar hole and were rapidly in
trenching themselves against dis
turbance the rest of the season.
Doyle, of course, wasn't going
around with a "won't come off"
smile chasing Itself over his
countenance. In" fact, he was
just about as happy as a chicken
during the flood season,
. "How's your team going?"
asked Duffy.
"Going?" roared Doyle. "How
do you think it's going, and bow
can any team go when you can't
pronounce the names of half of
your players?"
Doyle was probably referring
to Frank Schneiberg and a few
more players with Teutonic
names who were drawing money
.from the Havenor treasury at
that time. f
Lives of Doctors.
In keeping others-alive physicians
appear to lose their own lives.. Of all
professional men their lives are the
shortest. Between the ages of forty
five and sixty-five five doctors die on
an average to one clergyman.
