Mrs. Crow—William, have you ever
stopped to think what will become oi

How It Feels to Be Run Over.
"When 1 was run over," writes a
correspondent, "I had not seen the
car approaching. The first thing 1
knew was that I was on the ground,
kicking upward with my legs in an
effort to get from under the car. Then
I felt a wheel going over my chest,
which bent as it passed over. In the
intervening second or two I went
through several minutes' worth of feel
ings. I had the sensations of aston
ishing at being on the ground, of
wanting to roll aside and away, of
bracing myself—and my chest espe
cially—stiff to resist something, what
ever it might be, while a lightning
flash of fear was dimly there and a
subconscious query, 'What on earth
next?' Yet it was hardly fear, be
cause there was no time for such a
durable sensation; it was rather a
sense of being suddenly confronted
\Vith a grave reality of doubtful, ob
scurely terrible import."

Immolation to the Dead.
It was an ancient America that Im
molation to the dead was carried to
its greatest extent. "In Mexico every
great man's chaplain was slain that
he might perform for him the relig
lous ceremonies in the next life as in
this. Among the Indians of Vera Pax,
when a lord was dying they immedi
ately killed as many slaves as he had,
that they might precede him and pre
pare the house for their master. By
the Mexicans the number of the vie
tiins was proportioned to the grandeur
of the funeral, and amounted some
times, as several historians affirm, to
two hundred. In Peru, when an Inca
died his attendants and favorites,
amounting sometimes, it is said, to a
thousand, were immolated on his
tomb."

M16-2t QHIEF OF POLICE.
Certainly Not for Money.
Walter Winans on his recent Ameri
can visit was asked at the horse show
what he thought of international mar
riages.
"International marriages," said Mr.
Winans, "are just as good as any
other kind, provided the girl and the
man are all right. The girl is, as a
rule, all right, hut the man is too often
a fortune hunter, who should never
have been presented to the girl, a
C hicago father," he resumed, "said to
his foreign son-in-law the other day:
'Count, I'm ruined! Every cent is
lost!'
"The count whistled. 'Then, by
Jove,' he said, softly, 'I did marry for
love, after all.' "
A Futile Scheme.
"I always have to quarrel with my
husband in order to get him to buy a
new suit of clothes. He never thinks
he can afford it."
"I should think he would learn after
a while that it is useless to try in that
way to get you to quit spending bo
much for dress."
H
Landlady—Do you think that death
ends all?
Mr. Hall Roome—Not for four day*

R0AST, STEW, HASH AND SOUP
"All DJeyvad Bey called upon Abdul
Hamid and handed lm the fetva.—Ca
ble dispatch.
They didn't tie a ran to him
Nor give him the g. b.
When they divulged their plant to him
'Twas plain for him to see
They did not have a skid for him
Nor hold a lemon out;
The little message did for him
Without the sllghest doubt—
They handed him a fetva.
The marble glance was not turned on.
They had no Icy mitt.
There was no language hot turned on—
They would not think of ltj
They did not swiftly fire liltn out
Nor put him on the skid 1
Nor with objections tire hfm out—
But this Is what they did:
They handed him a'fetva.
Son, when your genial boss to you
■ Observes that you are through.
It Is no double cross to you
Not even a "sklddoo,"
You're not on the toboggan slide
Nor getting "twenty-three;"
Just let this through yout* noggin slide:
It's plain as plain can be
He's handing you a fetva.
When some coquettish, sweet young
thing
Says to take back your ring.
The fair and lovely, neat young thing
Does not give you a sting;
She does not mean "Be on your way."
Nor that your cake Is dough.
But after you have gone your way
The chances are you'll know
She's handed you a fetva.
The Helpful Hinter.
The man with the chenille whisker»
and the agate eye comes stealthily in
and hangs over the desk of the plod
ding slave in the shinny coat.
"Don't let me Interrupt you," he
begs, "but I just thought of a little
Idea that you might use. If you wish.
I believe In passing these ideas along
-of course I'm not in your line of
business at all, but nevertheless these
notions come to me as I'm strolling'
along, and If I took the bother to Jot
them dpwn no doubt I—"
"What Is the idea?" asks the pale
hireling.
"It's Just a little quip or a Jest that
you can fix up In your own way. I
haven't worked It out at all—leave
that to you, you know. Something:
on the order of one man asking an
other where he will get the chestnut»
to stuff his turkey, and the other man
replying that he will get them out of
your funny column. You see—"
But the pale hireling has reached
for a bell-cord and rings up 1,256,87»
in the Register of Ancient and Honor
able Suggestions for Chestnut stuffing.
The Silver Lining.
"I suppose there won't be anything
on earth at all when we land?" says
Mrs. Noah as a wave dashes over the
ark.
"Not a thing," agrees Mr. Noah. "It
will be fine not to have a reporter for
a Sunday paper trying to get us U*
write articles on how it feels to
vive a flood."

A Strenuous Task.
"All I've got to say," growled the
man who had been trying to carve the
Christmas bird, "all I've got to say Is
that it isn t any use for the powers to
try to arrive at a diplomatic dismem
berment of Turkey, if they have as
tough a one to deal with as I have.
What they want to use is an ax or
dynamite, or both."
Took No Chances.
Full forty times was Myrtle kissed—
O. she was young and she was fair
And she was cunning! She had mlst
Letoe pinned In her glossy hair.
Would Make a Concession.
"No, indeed!" says the beauteous
creature. "1 will not give you a kiss
To me, a kiss is a sacred thing."
"All right," ofT°rs the sincere young
mam "Come along. We'll go down
to the church and stand on the
while V kiss you." ps
Misunderstood.
