A SLEEPER
Here, Is a definition which Is as dif
ficult to read rapidly as "Peter Piper
picked a peck of pickled pepper, and
yet Is more sensible. In fact, It Is an
actual statement of facts, as , you will

THE STINGER STUNG
It was at an Indiana hotel of some
pretentiousness. . . .
A traveling man had had his order
filled. With the meat and vegetables
Leaci Suroti
and other material was one tea biscuit.
Looking with what he considered
great rcguishnes3 at the waitress, he

one biscuit looks to me as if it were
awfully lonesome in here all by itself?',
"Very well," replied the girl, with
out the twitch of a facial .'jnuscle, "I'll
take it back into the'kitchen with the
others, then-."
And to this day that traveling man
does't know whether he fooled 'the
dumbest girl on earth or was outwitted
by the. keenest one. .

"any wiiury bjr-,'ar, fortune teller or

ratskin," lie said. "They look well at
first glance, but examine them care
fully. Look into the skin. The skin,
though soft und fine, revealed on close
examination a great many cuts ami
gears and scratches. Xono of these
went quite through. Nevertheless their
effect was to we:kn the gloves great

manufacturer, "are what bar' ratskin
