The Complainant—You see, judge, I
was a little too happy, as you might
sav, when I wont home, and me wife
was ironin'. We'd had a word or two
in the mornin', an' so I steps up pre-
pared to make peace. I said: "Let's
forget th' quarrel—we were both
wrong," when what does she do but
shove the hot Iron against me head.
The Judge—Trying to smooth it
over, of course. You can't blame her
for that. Go home, both of you.
Where Hiram Went Through.
"Eureka!" exclaimed Hiram IIos-
kins. who, with a lighted candle in
his hand, was hunting for a leak in
the gas pipe.
A moment later Mrs. Hoskins sadly
said:
"That's just our luck. Now we'll
have to pay out more money to get
the roof fixed."
Not Necessary Now.
"Do you believe in capital punish
ment?"
"Not now."
"Then you did once?"
"Yes."
"What has caused you to change
your mind about it?"
"The man who was learning to play
the fiddle, next door, has moved."

The Point of View.
"I went to Mrs. Ilrainey's house yes-
terday to talk over with her a discus-
sion in the club about the most impor
tant world happening of the day, and
what do you think she said?"
"What?"
"She said it had taken place in her
own home that day—the baby had Just
cut a tooth."
ENGAGEMENT RING IS HANDY
Idea of Killing Two Birds With One
Stone Not Approved of by Two
Young Boston Women.
Two young women rode into Boston
from Newton 011 an Oak Square car
the other day. They were very chum-
my and punctuated a lively conversa-
tion by pecking at a box of chocolates
in a kind of "one for me and one for
you" style. It was just after Christ-
mas, and it was natural that the con-
versation should have much to do with
that day. It rattled on like this:
"Hessie has a diamond ring!" This
was said with the air of one imparting
a profound secret.
"She has?" expressing great sur
prise. (Insert chocolates here.)
"Engagement, I s'pose? I've been
expecting it."
"Yep."
"Christmas present?"
"Yep."
More rumination on chocolates and
also thought.
"I don't like it. This making a dia-
mond engagement ring a Christmas
present."
"Why?"
"Why? It looks to me like killing
twro birds with one stone, don't you
think?"
More chocolates —Boston Globe.
OF COURSE.
Minneapolis An answer to resolu-
tions adopted by the so-called "insur
gents" of the Modern Woodmen of
America in assembly here last week,
was made here Sunday in a statement
issued by the head camp of the order
through John Sullivan of Kansas City,
chairman of the law committee.
The statement concludes:
"Fraternal societies must raise
their rates or fail. The new rates are
the lowest upon which the Modern
Woodmen could be solvent."
"Those two boys are very different,
in their ideas, are they not?"
"So different that when their father
died and divided his money betw« n
them, the elder built all kinds of cas-
tles in Spain, while the younger went
right ahead and invested in a brew-
ery in Milwaukee."

TOO MUCH FOR THE TEACHER
Professor. Who Accompanied His Wife
on Shopping Trip, Runs Up
Against Hard Problem.
One day a teacher of mathematics
went shopping with his wife. He
tagged along listlessly from counter
to counter until they came to the
dress trimmings department, and there
he found something in his line. Said
his wife to the saleswoman:
"How wide is that gold-spangled
black crepe?"
' Three-eighths of a yard," said the
girl.
"How much is it a yard?"
"Three dollars."
"Well," said the professor's wife,
"how much of three-eighths-wide ma
terial will it take to put four six-inch |
strips around a two-and three-quarter-
yard skirt that is seven inches nar
rower at the knees than it is at the
bottom, and how much will it cost?"
At the first mention of those figures
the professor's head began to reel, and
it reeled still more when his wife and
the girl got out pencils and paper and
began to do their sura. Presently his
wife said:
"Here, dear, you know all about
mathematics. Help us solve this prob1
lem, won't you?"
But the professor said: "Excuse me.
1 feel faint. I must get a littlo fresh
air," and ignominlously fled.
His wife came home with exactly
the right amount of material, and she
didn't pay a cent too much.—New
York Times.
Its Perennial Paradox.
"It is odd what a contradictory dis-
position Is always made of a success-
ful resolution calling for a dinner."
"What is that?"
"It is carried, and laid on tho table,
too."
