WILLIAM J. KELLY.
Colonial Leading Man in "Mrs. Dane's
Defense" Next Week.
Rising the Day Before.
"I reckon," said the first farmer,
"that I get up earlier than anybody in
this neighborhood. I am always up be
fore 8 o'clock in the morning."
The second farmer said he was al
ways up before that and had part of
the chores done.
The first farmer thought ho was a
liar, and decided to find out. A few
mornings later he got up at 2 o'clock
and went to the neighbor's house. He
rapped on the back door and the wo
man of the house opened it.
"Where is your husband?" asked the
farmer, expecting to find the neighbor
in bed.
"He was around here early in the
morning," answered the wife, "but I
don't know where he is now." Ex.
NOT A DRY TOWN.
I was railroading down in Arkansas
some years ago. During the spring
our little town had met with a flood,
so the conductor and I had borrowed
a sklpp and were rowing around the
flooded district. I incidentally espied
a woman with a long pole standing
on her back porch as if hunting for
something in the water. I told the
conductor who was rowing the skipp
to row over there as perhaps some
one had fell in the water. After
reaching the house I called out:
"what's the matter lady, has some of
your children fell iu?" "Well, I reck
on not, you fool, I am looking for tho
well."
THE ORIGINAL GOOD
ROAD MOVEMENT. .
Judge Seaton, of Olathe, who is a
good road enthusiast, broke into
verse, last week, and sang:
When Ceasar took an eastward ride,
And grabbed the Gauls for Rome;
What was the first thing that he did,
To make them feel at home.
Did he increase the people's loads
And liberty forbid?
No, he dug in and built good roads i
That's vthnt old Ceasar did. '
Did Cp isar put the iron heel
Upon the foeinan's breat?
Or did ho try to make them feel,
That Roman rule was best.
What did he do to make them glad
He'd come their midst amid,
He built good roads in place of bad,
That's what old Ceasar did.
He built goodatoads from hill to hill,
Good roads' from vale to vale;
He ran a good roads movement,
Till old Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home,
Build roads their hills amid;
Until all roads led unto Rome,
That's what old Ceasar did.
i
If any men would make their town
The Center of the Map;
Where folks would come and settle
down,
And live in plenty's lap
If any town its own abodes,
Of poverty would rid;
Let it get out and build good roads,
Just like old Ceasar did.
Kansas City Star.
A man returning home after many
years' absence inquired from his old
friend Jack of his boyhood days, of
the people that were married and had
disapeared from his old home, and
among his old. remembrances he re
called an old drunk by the name of
Mike Kelly who had died some time
before, and he said: "Jack, did they
bury Mike?" 'Oh, no Tom, they just
poured him back into the 'barrel
again."
"Bobby," said the lady in the street
car, severely, "why don't you get up
and give your seat to your father?
Doesn't it pain you see to him reach
ing for the strap? '
"Not in a car," said Bobby. "It does
at home." Ladles' Home Journal.
