SEEK FUNNY STORIES.
STEADY MARKET FOR BRIGHT
SAYINGS AND ANECDOTES.
I After-Dinner Or ton, Political Speak
er, Legal Light, Club Women and
Minister of the Gospel Are Usually
Among the Purchaser.
Funny stories have always been mar
ketable to a certain extent After-dinner
speakers and post-prandial orators,
with reputations greater than their ca
pabilities for retaining such, have al
ways been more than willing to pay a
fair price for the amusing stories and
anecdotes wherewith the aforemention
ed reputations have been bolstered. Po
litical speakers and certain legal lights
have never disdained the story which
was bought with good, honest dollars,
even though it was the product of some
other fellow's brain and only became
theirs by right of purchase.
But the field has grown wider of late.
Women have invaded precincts long sa
cred to the masculine humorist, and
many women know what It Is to- buy
funny stories nowadays. The price of
a story varies all the way from a bunch
of violets to $5, with an average of
about $2.50.
A bright paper had been read at one
of the larger clubs recently and the
reader was standing in the clubroom
receiving the congratulations of her
friends, when she became aware of a
strange woman who was making des
perate efforts to attract her attention.
"That was a fine paper," said the
stranger.
"Thank you," said the woman who
had written it.
"I have to write a paper for another
club before long," then said the other
woman, "and I'm not nearly so clever
as you are." -
"No?" said the woman with the bright
iapor to her credit
"And I'm quite sure it's easy for yon
to think up clever stories," pursued the
stranger.
"Yes," responded the woman, who be
gan to see what was coming. f
"And, in shoit, will you write me
three or four funny stories, such as you
used to-day?" blurted out the stranger,
yielding to her embarrassment "I'm
willing to pay for them well, indeed."
"What would you charge for allow
ing me to use one of tbe stories you told
just now at a dinner which I am to at
tend this evening?" still another woman
asked of the essayist of the afternoon, a
little later.
Talking the matter over with some
friends this woman learned that funny
stories are frequently bought and sold
In this manner, loaned for a financial
consideration every now and then, and
even openly rented occasionally so
much for the privilege of telling a
funny story not more than a certain
number of lines, and strictly within the
limits of a certain social set Bythis
means both the purveyor and the user
of the story are protected, the one from
the danger of her wares being handled
too cheaply or rendered too common,
the other from all fear of being sus
pected of employing twice-told tales.
Among club women the funny story
barter reaches its highest proportions.
It is distressing to be called upon to
make an impromptu speech and to have
nothing clever or amusing to say. The
society woman, whose reputation for
luncheon-time cleverness or afternoon
tea brilliancy has outrun her natural in
ventiveness, makes by no means a bad
second to the ambitious member of half
a dozen clubs. The fashionable physi
cian, man or woman, who likes to be
credited with always having something
bright or amusing to say to the patient
who needs enlivening, has also been
known to purchase good stories occa
sionally, and there are several ministers
In Chicago who are at leasf supposed to
do the same thing once in a while.
And, after all, be the story purchaser
club woman, after-dinner speaker, min
ister of the gospel, or tired-out society
woman, is it not better, on the whole, to
buy good stories than to beg, borrow or
steal them? The men and women who
do buy them, secretly or otherwise, are
firm in their adherence to this view of
the case, and there would appear to be
a good deal of common sense and jus
tice in their position. Chicago Tribune.
NOTE THE PASSAGE OF TiMH.
Dost Appear to Keep an Almanac
Handy for Use.
Have dogs an almanac? That, is a
Question that has "exercised" the
minds of their loving observers. That
they always know Sunday is certain.
Where Sunday is a bad day for tbe
dogs, to show them a prayer book. Is to
send them back mournfully to their
beds. But many dogs need no book for
a token. They rise in low spirits on
the day of rest, drooping melancholy
tails and ears and lips. Some one says:
"Oh, yes; we know that dogs 'are crea
tures of habit.' The seventh day comes
regularly around. They feel the flight
of time." But this theory does not
cover all the facts of the case. . The
dogs that belong to families keeping
saints' days (which don't occur with
the regularity of tbe Sabbath) are
equally aware that the festivals of
their masters are no red letter days for
them. "Of course, it Is the Sunday go-to-meeting
hats and bonnets!" explain
ed a cocksure Junior some time ago.
But it is not this! Neitner Is It the
church bells ringing, as some one else
suggested. For at a French watering
place, at a villa out of the reach of
sounds of bell ringing, where the fam
ily had no peculiar livery for Sunday
not smarter coats, tall hats or feminine
finery and where even the books were
not carried In the hand, being locked
up in receptacles In tbe church, the
dogs got up limp and dejected on Sun
days and on holidays, too, and stayed
In the same depressed condition until
the hours for going to church were past
and going out again meant starting up
a nice, doggie walk!
Is it not for Maggie Tulllver, who has
been "crossed in love," that some one
tenders a recipe likely to cure her In
the words: "Give the girl a pup?" It
Is offered to the reader as an uncon

accept it in this sense and laugh at it.
But that is their mistake, I venture to
think. London Mail.
Modern Way of Killing Whale.
Dr. Frederick W. True, of the Smith
sonian Institution, who recently spent
two months In whale-hunting In Green
Bay, on the northeastern coast of
Newfoundland, reports an Interesting
experience. He was sent oat by tbe
Institution to study the finback whale,
and of ninety-eight animals caught all
but eleven woe of this variety. The-story-book
romance has gone entirely
out of whaling as pursued by the New
foundlanders. There is no frail whale
boat, with th grizzled old barpooner
in the bow to strike the whale, but in
stead a little steam craft and a power
ful gun.
This gun throws a large iron har
poon, with crossarms which He against
the shaft until It strikes a solid body
and then project out and imbed them
selves. The head of this harpoon is
cigar-shaped and sharp-pointed and
explodes as it pierces the whale's side,
generating a gas, which serves to keep
the fish afloat after the wrecking effect
of the shock on its Internal organs has
left It a lifeless mass. A stout rope is
attached to the butt of the harpoon,
and by this the whale is kept in leash
as It thrashes madly through the water
in a vain effort to escape its unknown
enemy. Death rapidly ensues, unless,
as sometimes happens, the project le
goes through the fish from side to side,
when a second shot Is necessary."
Rev. Dr. William Bliss, of Pasadena,
Cal., is the head of a new school of po
litical science, of which the chief fea
tures are direct legislation and the
initiative and referendum. His lead
ing followers are college men and ped
agogues. One of them said lately to
a Los Angeles woman: "I do not under
stand why Dr. Bliss' friends should be
exclusively learned men especially
scientists." "Why, Tom Moore ex
plained that long ago," was her quick
answer; "they have turned from the
bliss of science to take up the science
of Bliss."
Oliver Wendell Holmes enjoyed that
humor best which was of his own pro
duction. On one occasion he was hold
ing forth at great length on the sub
ject of cannibalism, and having wound
himself up to the proper pitch he turn
ed suddenly to Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
who was sitting near him, and asked:
"Imagine! What would you do If you
were to meet a cannibal V "I think,"
Sr. Aldrich sweetly replied, "that I
should stop to pick an acquaintance
with him." This rejoinder cast such
a gloom over Dr. Holmes that during
the rest of the dinner bis conversation
was limited to monosyllables.
In one of his farces, Glen McDon
ongh had written two or three lines
to be spoken by a chorus-girl. Tbe
lines were given to a green, heavy ama
teur, who looked well and would do.
At the rehearsal the girl made her way
to McDonougb, who held the book, and
said: "Mr. McDonough, I have a line
in the first act and one In the third.
Couldn't you write me one for the sec
ond act, too?" McDonough thought a
minute, looked at the girl, and said:
"Yes; In the banquet scene you enter
and say, 'Here is the ham.' " "Oh, do
I bring the ham on with me?" "No, my
dear; It is not a speech, .It is a confes
sion." A traveling American made a visit
to Greyfriars churchyard at Edinburgh.
The sexton was a man of Aberdeen
shire and - his heart was in the high
lands, plainly. The visitor had been
at Greyfriars before and said to the
sexton, as the old man pocketed his
fee: "I have seen your highlands since
I was here last." "Oh," said he, with
Inimitable highland Inflection; "and
had ye never been there before?"
"No. I have never been in Scotland be
fore. I live in America." "Oh! 'Tis a
graund country . that." "America? 1
is. Indeed!" The old man looked up
in utter surprise. "Nay, nay," he said,
Impatiently! "the hielands. A graund

Illustrative of the dirtiness of the
Afghan, it is said that on one occasion
General Roberts captured a native
who was so exceptionally dirty that it
was thought necessary, for the safety
of tbe whole camp, that he should be
washed. Two 'Tommy Atkinses' were
told oft for that purpose. They stripped
the prisoner, and scrubbed him for two
hours with formidable brushes and a
large quantity of soft soap. Then they
threw down their brushes In disgust
and went to thetr; captain. "What is it,
men?" "Well; sir," they replied, some
what excitedly, "we've washed that
'ere Afghan chap for two hours, but It
warn't any good. After scrubbing him,
sir, till our arms were like to break,
blessed If we didn't come upon another
suit of clothes!"
It was a great thing for an under
graduate to be taken for a walk by the
late Prof. Jowett, and some of the
young men were quite overpowered by
the honor. One such, after they had
been on the road half an hour, ven
tured to remark: "Nice day, professor."
"Do yon really think so?" was Jowett's
far-away rejoinder. Another half-hour
passed, and the boy stammered out:
"Nice road,-jW)fessor." "Do you really
think so?" Jowett again rejoined. The
matriculate 'wanted to run away, but
he was a moral hero, and In another
half -hour managed to say: "Clouds
seem to be filling up with rain, pro
fessor," to which he again got the
crushing answer: "Do you really think
so?" The young man's sufferings were
at an end, however, as they were now
back at the college grounds, where
Jowett turned to bid his companion
good-by. "Well, young man," he said,
"we have been walking for several
hours, and everything you have sa:d
has been as stupid as it could possibly
be." "Do you really think so?" re
plied the young man. The professor
started, stared at the young man, and
then, with a genial smile, warmly
grasped his hand. There was no lack
of conversation in their subsequent
walks.

Harrison's Most Famous Cm.
"It is doubtful, " said an Indianapolis
lawyer the other day, "whether Geo.
Harrison recalls a certain case which
be tried out in Indiana that was more
remarkable in its way than the session
of the Venezuelan arbitration. Of the
four oounsel only one had ever been
heard outside of his own state, and the
judge had merely a local reputation.
Yet within 12 years one of the quar
tette had been elected vice-president of
the United States, another one presi
dent, still another United States sena
tor, and the judge had risen to the cir
cuit bench and had filled two cabinet
posts. It was a political case, and
each party chose its most famous repre
sentative to represent it. Mr. Harrison
aided the United States district attor

Our Relations to Others.
We are not Robinson Crusoes, living
each one on bis own little island alone.
There are other people and they are all
about us. Their lives touch ours on
many points and their interests inter
lace with ours. In seeking to live out
our own life to its utmost, we soon be
come aware of limitations caused by
duties to others. In a sense, the whole
world has its claim upon us; and there
is no man, woman or child anywhere
whom we are not to consider, to whom
we are not a debtor. The law of love
to our neighbor leaves nobody out. The
wounded man by the wayside, whoever
he may be, we must not pass by. This
relation to others is one which must be
considered in every true life. We may
not think of self only, ignoring the
whole world and devoting all our
thought and energy to the culture of
our own character, the making of our
own career. Forward.

customers should insist on having the goods in
packages properly labeled. They should reject
all imitations. There is nothing "just as good."
ALABASTINE
Prevents much sickness, particularly throat and
lung difficulties, attributable to unsanitary
coatings on walls. It has been recommended
in a paper published by the Michigan State
Board of Health on account of its sanitary
features; which paper strongly condemned
kalsomines. Alabastine can be used on either
plastered walls, wood ceilings, brick or canvas,
and any one can brush it on. It admits of radi
cal changes from wall paper decorations, thus
securing at reasonable expense the latest and
best effects. Alabastine is manufactured by the
Alabastine Company of drand Rapids. Ilkhlgaii.

Miss Clara Stoecker says: "I had
chronic catarrh for over a year. I
tried many remedies, but found no re
lief until I saw an advertisement in
the paper of your treatment for cbronio
catarrh. I tried it and I think I am
now well. I recommend Pe-ru-na to
all my friends who are afflicted with
catarrh." Miss Stoecker lives at Pitts
burg, Pa.
Mrs. Mar
garetb Fritz,
Wilcox,
Oklah o m a,
writes: "I
extend my
sincere
thanks for
the good ad
vice you
have given
me. I do
not believe I
would be
living now if it were not for you. I
had suffered with flow of blood for four
months, and the doctors could help me
but little. They operated on me three
times. It was very painful and I only
obtained little relief. I was so weak
I could not turn in bed. Then I ap
plied to Dr. Hartman. I did not know
whether he could help me or not, but I
followed his advice, and used only
tbree bottles of Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin.
Now I am well and strong as I ever
was, thanks to your remedies." Pelvio
catarrh has become so frequent that
most women are more or less afflicted
with it. It is usually called female
disease.
