Mrmr GUEST EXPECTED TOO MUCH Should Not Have Expected Bull Flgnl for $2 He Wat Paying for Flrst-Clasa Room. J. Wade McGrath, one of the promt nent hotel men In New York, used tc be behind the' desks In several Ohlc hotels before he became manager ol the Hotel Hargrave. In one hotel neai Cleveland one of his assistants ehowec an absolute displeasure tor anythlnt that looked like work. One night a guest called up and it an angry voice said: "There are f couple of mice lighting up here!" "What room have you?" Inquire! the assistant languidly. He was told and then he Inquired: "What are you paying for It?" "Two dollars," was the reply. "Well, what do you expect for twt dollars a bull fight?" In Better Shape, A tourist once happened to meet th usual "oldest inhabitant" of a village In the course of conversation h asked the ancient his age. "I be Just one hundred," was the re ply. "Well, I doubt if you'll see anothei hundred years," said the tourist, trying to make conversation. "I don't know so much about that master," was the hopeful response. " be stronger now than when I startei on my first hundred." Advanced Ideas. "I understood that you were strong ly in favor of advanced Ideas." "I am," replied Senator Sorghum "Didn't you observe the interest 1 took in some of those appropriation bills?" "But how do you they apply to the advancement of learning?" "They don't They apply to the ad vancement of money to my constitu ents." The Lights Above. "Nothing that art can do rivals the works of nature," said the enthusiastic youth. "What could be more beautiful than the constellations?" "They are pretty," assented the un imaginative girl. "And yet, do yov honestly think that a constellatior gets to the popular intelligence like f good, snappy electric light sign?" NO HIT. Reggy You remind me of a beautl ful butterfly. Miss Sweet. Miss Sweet You may not be awan that a butterfly is merely a post-gradu ate caterpillar. Where He Killed Them. Church You say he has killed hli man? Gotham Why, a dozen of 'em. "How do you know?" "I've seen him." "Where?" "In the movies." Caution. "You never complain of the food anj more," said the young married woman "I'm afraid of showing my igno ranee," replied her husband. "When ever I taste something that seems par ticularly queer I take It for granted that it is some new kind of a salad.1 Easier Employment. "I understand," said the letter car rler, "that some of those ancients die all their writing on rocks and bricks, "Yes," replied the professor." "Well, these times have their dlsad vantages. But I'd rather be a lettei carrier now than then." Gypsies Study the Law. Burglar Bill These gypsies don' know anything. One of 'em told Gorj Gub that he'd die on the gallows. Dynamite Dan Well, didn't he? Burglar Bill Naw; he died of ole age while waitln' for a new trlaL POINT HE HAD OVERLOUKfcD Wife's Question Made Broker Wonder Whether He Might Not Have Been Deceived. A Wall street broker of English par entage and an unusual name was talk ing to Beveral other brokers, business not being particularly rushing at the moment. "If anybody In this crowd has a gold brick for sale," he said, "I wish he would try to dispose of It to me at a good figure. Why? Well, I'm In the market since yesterday for tbat sort of material. "It happened this way. About 4 p. m. a very nice-appearing man of the working class came Into my office and asked for me. I saw him and asked him his business. He told me he had seen my name In the papers, and as his name was the aame as mine be thought, the names being so unusual, he would call on me. He was very unmistakably Eng lish, and the similarity of names was of some Interest, even though I hard ly thought he was In my class. Still he might have been a hnrd-up titled nobleman working for bis living, as some of the best ot them do rather than sponge It off somebody else. He talked along about his family and where they lived and asked me where mine came from and said he had been living in Canada for fif teen or twenty years, where his father had gone from England. Times were hard and he had come to this country, where they were no softer and well, it ended by his touching me for $5. His name was good for that, I thought, whether he was wholly deserving or not "When I went home In the eve ning I told my wife about It and did she applaud my respect for my fam ily name? Not on your parish regis ter she didn't. She looked at mo critically and said: 'John, did the man show you any papers to prove that bis name was the same as yours?' Right then I awoke, and If any of you gents have a gold brick to sell will you please pass it on to me?" - On His Dignity. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who has equipped a $250,000 field ambu lance for the allies, told many inter esting war stories during her recent visit to America. "The new English army is wonder ful," she said at a studio tea In New York. "The officers themselves are surprised at the rapidity with which the young English volunteer can be trained into a splendid soldier. Of course, though, amusing mistakes often happen before the military rules are mastered. 'An English officer told me of an In cident which occurred in his regiment. One day the colonel had to reprimand severely a recruit. The next day this recruit was on sentry duty when the colonel passed by. Noticing that the sentry failed to give him the usual salute, the colonel intentionally passed him a second and even a third time. To his astonishment the salute was each time omitted. "'Do you know who I am?' the colonel asked Indignantly. " 'Yes, sir,' the sentry answered. "'Don't you know you ought to sa lute me, then?' pursued the colonel "Aye, but,' said the sentry, 'thee and me fell out yesterday.' " For Love of the Work. The Russia of today has no social life, Us women have no thought of dress and amusement. All are work ing for their country, and an excep tional number of the women of edu cation in that country are specially qualified to be of service to the wounded soldiers. Speaking of her country, the wife of a Russian at tache In London Bald: "Perhaps the women of Russia study medicine and nursing more generally than is the case elsewhere, for In Russia the poorer classes look more naturally to those who are blessed with a larger share of this world's goods for care and protection. This feeling is now on the decline in towns, but in coun try places, where doctors have rounds of a hundred miles' radius, the poor of a district, In the absence of the medical man, are looked after and tended by the daughters of the house on whose estate they live. Thus every young girl goes In for medicine be cause she loves the work." Swift Horses. "Horses!" said the Yankee. "Guess you can't talk to me about the horses, I had an old mare, Maizypop, who once licked our beBt express by a couple of miles on a 30-mlle run to Chicago." "That's nothing," said the Cana dian. "I was out on my farm one day, about fifty miles from the house, when a frightful storm came up. turned the pony's head for home, and. do you know, he raced the storm so close for the last ten miles that I didn't feel a drop, while my old dog, only ten yards behind, had to swim the whole distance." Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Should Have Sealed It, Through some slight error In the use of the old Hebrew letters It seems that the official seal of Yale university has been embellished with the motto, "Blasphemers and Farmers," instead of "Light and Truth." This may em phaslze anew the old saying that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but the fearful mistake should never have been exposed. If the wise ones who detected the error had only main tained a discreet silence there are very few who would ever have known the difference. Favorite star. From ancient days Regului has beon one of the favorite stars of mariners and so-called astrologers. The ancient names designated It as the king of stars. In Its apparent passage through the path of the zodiac the sun Is almost between us and Regulus, and once a month the moon la near it and at times comet direct ly between It and our earthly vision, or "occults" It. For this alone Regulus ought to be one of the fascinating stars at this time ot the year. Act rnot covered oy Law. In a negro district a member was on trial, charged with stealing chickens. The evidence went to show that the defendant had been found with his foot In a steel trap at the door ot the hennery, while an empty tack lay near by. The decision of the judge wat to this effect. "D co't finds dat de 'fend ant hadn't no criminal 'tentlont. Dah halnt no law to p'vent a gemmen frum puttln' his foot In a steel trap ef he wants ter do It." WONDERfUL HOW RESINOL STOPS ITCHING AT ONCE To those who have endured for fears the itching torments of eczema sr other such skin-eruptions, the relief that the first use of reslnol ointment ind reslnol soap gives Is perfectly in- jredlble. After all the suffering they have endured and all the useless treat ments they spent good money for, they annot believe anything so simple, mild and inexpensive can stop the itch ing and burning INSTANTLY! And they find it still more wonderful that the Improvement is permanent and that reslnol really drives away the eruption completely in a very short time. Perhaps there Is a pleasant sur prise like this in store for you. Res lnol ointment and reslnol soap are sold by all druggists. Adv. Eyes of Fishes. The eyes ot fishes are In constant use except when they are asleep. Most fishes have no eyelids, their eyes be ing protected from Injury by a shiny material or by a thick transparent skin. The puffer, or swellflsh, which habitually burrows In sand at the bottom of the water, has eyelids which cover the eyeballs when closed, the lower eyelid being larger than the upper. All of Tomato Utilized. Italy harvests about 22,000 acres of tomatoes yearly, and the wastage amounts to practically nothing. The skins and seeds, formerly discarded, are now utilized, the former as stock feed and the latter as a source ot oil. The crude oil is suitable for soap making and for lamps, and the refined product is said to be edible. True Greatness. True greatness first of all is a thing of the heart. It is all alive with ro bust and generous sympathies. It is neither behind Its age, and ahead ol It only Just so far as to be able to lead Its march, It cannot slumber, for activity is a necessity ot its existence. It is no reservoir, but a fountain.
