GERMAN GLOOM.
The Germans’ recent bad luck led
Representative Shouse of Kansas to
say at a dinner:
"German defeats on the western
front and German disappointments In
the east have lowered the morale of
the German people terribly. -The Ger
man people are now as gloomy as the
broker.
•
" ‘Did yon have n good day, lowe?
a broker’s wife asked him In the eve
ning at dinner.
“‘Rotten,’ the broker groaned.
‘Simply rotten. Everything I sold
went down.’
“He ate soup In grim silence a lit
tle while, then he muttered :
“Thank goodness they couldn't go
sideways.’ ”
A Conflagration.
Myrt—What caused the racket down
at your house Inst night?
Gert—Oh, nothing much. That young
Simpkins called and tried to propose
to me.
Myrt—Well, what of It?
Gert—Pa heard him sny he was on
fire with a mighty love—nnd he put
him out.
