When Jitnrt Payu was editor of the CornhUl M1m bis private office wa Invaded one day ty an unan nounced visitor who bad managed to eTade the porter downstairs. The call er'a hair wa long, and Ui clot be were habby and untidy. He had a roll of paper In hi hand. Tayn, surmising a poet and an epic several thousand lines long, looked up. -Weil, sir?" "I've brought you something about aareoma and carcinoma." "We are overcrowded with poetry couldn't a-x-ept another line, not If it were by Milton." "Poetryl" the caller flashed. "Do you know anything about sarcoma and carcinoma ':" "Italian lovers, aren't they?" said Payn Import urbably. The caller retreated with a wither ing glance at the editor. Under the same roof as the Cornhlll was the office of a medical and surgical jour nal, and It was this that the caller sought for the disposal of a treatise on those cancerous growths with tb euphonious names which, with a lay man's Ignorance, Payn ascribed 'o poetry. McClure's. Things to Forgot. If you (to a tall fellow ahead of a crowd, A leader of men, marching fearless and proud. And you know of a tale whose mar telling- aloud Would cause his proud head to In anguish be bowed. . It's a pretty good plan to forget It. If you know of a skeleton hidden away In a closet and guarded and kept from the day In the dark and whoso showing, whose sudden display. Would cause grief and sorrow and life long dismay. It s a pretty good plan to forget It. If you know of a thing that will darken the Joy Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy. That will wl out a smile or the least way annoy A fellow or cause any gladness to cloy. It's a pretty good plan to forget It. Hoist With His Own Petard. The girl with the toft, appealing eyes looked up at the tall, broad shouldered young man who was hov ering about her with protecting air, having Just won her from a hated rival. "Jim," she murmured, "now that we've been engaged ever since last night, and you won't ever need to be Jealous again, I've brought you to se lect a tie for for anyway, you will, won't you' A man's taste Is so cor rect In such things." "For Phil, you mean? Of course I will," Jim replied with a magnani mous air. "Thl.4 green tie with the yellow strlies Is fine and dandy. Get him that." "Are you sure it is quite your choice," the girl asked anxiously. "Usually you select such quiet ties." "That Is precisely my taste," tha young man said glibly. The girl exchanged a two dollar bill for the gaudy necktie and a moment later slipped It Into her companion's band. "Jim," she said, "I can't Just keep It secret an Instant longer. It's really for you the first gift I've ever given you so I wanted it be exactly what you liked. You must wear It always when you come to see me," added the possessor of the soft, appealing eyes, with an adorable blush. Kansas City Timet. An Eye Out. Dispute over a cab fare lu London gave Henry Herman, the dramatist, opportunity for playing a grim joke at the driver's expense. Herman was the unfortunate possessor of a glass eye, which, on Jehu's waxing demonstra tive with Lis whip, whereof the lash passed perilously near, be suddenly pulled out and thrust In cabby's face. "You rascal," he vociferated, "look what you've done! You've cut my eye out!" Without waiting for the money In dispute the driver lashed his borne and fled aghast. A Sad Experience. C. K. G.

In due time his father beard of the fast trotter bis son bad bought and expressed a desire to try her. Tbe request was complied with, and after few spins on tbe road tbe old gentleman asked how much he had paid for ber. "Six hundred dollars, father," was the answer. "Well, Charley, the mare Is not worth It," aald the governor, "but I rather like the way she steps, so I will take her from you, and you can have your W.n Tbe deal bad to be closed.
