The proprietor of a plumbing estab
lishment downtown has a poor opinion
of goat initiations. A young m&u,
dapper and twenty, came into his
plumbing shop and asked to see an ex
pensive porcelain batlitub. The pro
prietor explained at length the good
qualities of a certain make.
"This seems to lie an excellent one,"
said the young man.
Without warning he jumped into the
bathtub, drew his coat closely around .
him and exclaimed: "Quick, turn on I
the water! I Avant to try it."
The proprietor thought he iras in- j
sane and. soothing his head, said, ι
"There, there, you're all right."
"Yes," the young man gurgled,
splashing In the imaginary water; "It's
very comfortable."
Then he began to squirm and splut
ter.
"Quick, quick!" be cried. "Turn off
the water! I'm drowning!"
"Wait till I reach the faucet," said
the proprietor softly, side stepping to
the telephone.
Just at this moment two other young
men, a trifle older, entered.
"Well, Bobby, had your bathT' they
inquired.
"Yes."
"Then come down to the vegetarian
restaurant and order a side of roast
beef."—New York Globe.

"Do you know how to take a tight
cork out of a bottle without a cork
screw?" was asked by a woman the
other day at a gossip party. "It's a
mighty good thing to know in an
emergency.
"My sister and I were coming back
from the mountains, and she got faint
on the cars. I had a bottle of aro
matic spirits of ammonia In ray bag.
but when I tried to get the cork out I
simply couldn't make 5t budge.
" 'Let me take it out for yon," sug
gested a man across the aisle.
"Then, borrowing my pocketknife
and using his own with it, he removed
the cork In a Jiffy. He Inserted the
blades on opposite sides between the
bottle and the cork, each one turned
In a different direction. Then when
the blades were firmly pushed in he
simply pressed the two together, gave !
them a wrench sideways, and the cork
came out without any trouble. I have
since tried it on larger bottles with
success., It Is a trick worth knpwlng."

The Quest of Truth.
It is h food deal easier to poke fun
et history than to write history merit
ing credence. Mr. Bodley when •writ
ing his "France" experienced the force
of this In a curious way. tie shut
himself up In Prance for years to get
the atmosphere and the knowledge
necessary for his work. One of hie
trials arose over some question of elect
oral Jurisprudence. It was not of in
ternational importance, but still inter
esting to students of comparative pro
cedure. Therefore he wrote to a dep
uty who is a parliamentary expert té
clear up the obscurity In which the
text books iuvolve the point and incor
porated his reply in the text of the
book. Later, being invited by an ex
perienced mayor to lie present at a
poll over which he presided, Mr. Bod
ley put the question to him and re
ceived a quite different reply. Filially
the author referred the poiut to a
senator of indisputable authority, who
showed that the deputy and the mayor
were both wrong.—8t. James' Gazette.
