Smith had just been operated upon
for appendicitis. During his period of
convalescence he became quite chum-
my with the two other patients who
shared the ward with him.
"How are you feeling, boys?" said
Smith one morning to them.
"Oh. we are all right." they both an-
Hwered together, "considering that we
had to undergo two operations "
"Why, how was that?" questioned
Smith, in an agitated voice.
"Because the doctor assigned to this
ward is an idiot. In collecting his in
struments after the operation, he
missed a needle and a pair of scissors.
The former he found in me. and the
latter in my friend here on the right.
You see now the reason for the two
operations."
Just then the surgeon put his head
in at the door and asked:
"Has anyone seen my silk hat?"
Smith fainted.
Big Mistake.
Bluffers bounced into* the club.
Jammed his hat down on a table with a
fierce bang, and flung himself into an
easy chair.
What's wrong, today, Bluffers? You
look bad."
"I'll never forgive myself. I kicked
a man out of my house last night."
"Humph! I've kicked out many a
one. Young fellow, I suppose?"
"No; past middle age."
"Well, these old codgers have no
business to be coming around courting
young girls. I would have kicked him
out myself."
"Yes: but I have found out since
that this man wasn't courting my
daughter. He was after my mother-in-
law."

"Say, Pa," queried little
"what is an echo?"
"An echo, my son," replied the pa
tient old man, with a sigh that was
long drawn out, "is the only thing
that can flimflam a woman out of the
last word."

Pablo Desvernlne Galdos the new
Cuban minister, reached Washington
a few days ago and was officially re-
ceived by President Wilson
"Cuba is on the highway to peace
and prosperity." paid Mr Galdos
The change of administration was
accomplished without the slightest
friction and for the first time In the
history of the r«publl
Ki«. n. hrf led ove* the govern
ment to a Cuban. You must remem-
ber that when Cuba was declared in-
dependent General Wood relinquished
the government to the provisional
president. Mr. Palma. who later was
elected president, and retired upon
the second intervention of the Amer-
icans. Then Governor Magoon as-
sumed control, to retire when General ;
Gomez was elected.
"The Inauguration of General Men-1
ocal. therefore, marks a date of bis-1
torlcal Importance to Cuba. That i
# there should be regrets at a change
of idministration among the leaders'of the liberal party Is to be expected I
