CHAFF FROM THE STRAW STACK
Every man has his own idea of an
angel when he steps up to buy a mar
riage license.
House cleaning may be good exer
cise for the muscles, tut most married
men can testify .that it does not beau
tify a woman's fa :e.
One of our exchanges gives a whip
with every paid-In-advance subscriber.
This may be all right, but wouldn't it
jar the editor' if some irate female
should use one of these premiums on
him? An editor takes great chances
when he puts whips into the hands of
his subscribers.
A fellow who had been critlcisedby
the editor of a,local paper, applied to a
lawyer to know how to break up the
paper. He was told to buy the paper
and run it six months. He was
charged $2 for the advice Ex.
If your baby swallows a button or
other foreign substance and Is not too
young for such treatment, a bowl of
oatmeal and milk, and a baked potato
should be given as soon afterward as
possible. If the potato has to be cook
ed, let the child eat a piece of bread
while he is waiting. The food forms a
soft coating around the object swallow
ed, and It generally passes away with
out harmful results.
A promising young husband recently
presented his better half with a hand
some piano lamp on her birthday. He
was flattered when she , told him she
intended to give It his name, until he
asked her reason for so peculiar a pro
ceeding. She said: "You know it has
brass' about it, is handsome to look at,
requires a good deal of attention, Is re
markably brilliant, is sometimes un
steady on its legs, liable to explode
when 'half full, flames up occasionally,
is always out at bedtime and is bound
to smoke.
When . asked to write a composition
on some experience, Johnny, after
much labor, handed his teacher the
following: "Twins is a baby only its
double. It usually arrives about 4:37
in the morning, when a fellow Is gettin
in his best licks sleepin'. Twins is ac
companied by excitement and a doc
tor. When twins do anything wrong
their mother can't tell which one to
lick, so she gives it to both of 'em so
as to make sure. We've got twins to
our house and I'd swap 'em enny day
for a billy goat."
A level headed exchange says:
Learn this one thing, learn it early in
life and learn It well, that the man
who does , not believe as you do is not
always a fool. The fact that you hold
views not In accord with your neighbor
is not proof positive that you are right
and he Is wrong, nor is it any evidence,
that your neighbor is Insincere. If
this were not true, then all smart
people would belong to one party and
all good men to one church. And if
all belonged to one party and on
church they would break up both part
and church.
A postmaster In Kansas has put up
the following rules: "No letter will b
delivered until received. If you don't
get a letter or pnperon the day you ex
pect It, have the postmaster look
through all the boxes and In the cellar
also, It ought to be. there, somewhere.
If you're friends don't write curse the
postmaster. If he tells you there is no
mail for you put a grieved expression
on your face and say, 'there ought to
be some.' He is probably hiding your
mail for the pleasure of having you call
for it three or four times a day. Ask
him to look again." "
