EVERYBODY HAPPY.
Everybody's happy as far aa I kin ara.
Though when It come* to reasons w* ara
bound to disagree.
Polks that talk prosperity are happy for
the cheer
That comes when crops are loomin' up
In plenty far an' near.
Happy 'cause the country’s got mate
rials an’ men
To taks whatever starts out wrong an'
set It right again.
Happy for the present, which Is silencin'
regret.
An' happy for the future, which Is look
in' better yet.
Of course, we don't pretend that life Is
all a grand, sweet song;
But folks can't sing forever, they are
bound to tire ‘fore long.
Bat there's room for everybody In this
big old world of ours.
An’ those that like the briars, they kin
caay dodge the flowers.
There la always some one cornin’ out
attrrin* up a row
That will bring a passin' wrinkle to the
moat contented brow —
An' some of us Is happy 'cause the btess
In's fall so thick.
An’ some of us Is happy, 'cause we've
got a chance to kick.
—Washington 8tar.
PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENON.
“They 3ay that poor oirt Dick has
water on the hraln.”
"CJreat Sect! How did he develop
that?”
“What, the water?”
“No. the hraln.”
Birds Shot with Water.
Shooting a hummingbird with ths
smallest btrdshot made Is out or ths
question, for the tiniest seeds of lead
would destroy his coat. The only way
In which the bird ran he captured for
commercial purposes Is to shoot him
with a drop of water from a blowgun.
or a fine jet from a small syringe
Hklllfully directed, the water stuns
him. Me falls Into s silken not and
before he recovers consciousness is
suspended over a cyanide Jar. This
must be done quickly, for If he cornea
to his senses before the cyanide whiff
snuffs out his life ha is sure to ruin
his plumage in his struggles to escajie
Hummingbirds vary in size from speci
mens perhaps half as large ns a spar
row to those scarcely bigger than a
bee. The quickest eye cannot follow
them in full flight. It Is only when,
though still flying furiously, they are
pi sctlcally motionless over flowers
that the best marksmen can brlug
them to earth.
Routed Mather with Siphon.
A soda siphon, a masher and an
Irate husband played die leading roles
In a sidewalk drama near Seventeenth
and O streets the other evening, ac
cording to the Washington Post. It I
appears front the statements of eye
witnesses that as a government con
tractor and his pretty wife left a drug
store and were proceeding to their
home In the neighborhood n fellow
who was standing/near a saloon
mocked the laugh of the wife and
otherwise artqd In an objectionable
manner. Then, following the wife, who
was accompanied by her better half,
the masher deliberately turned about
and peered impudently into the wom
an's eyes The husband, who was car
rying a siphon of soda, ns quick as a
flash turned the stream of efferves
cent liquid full into the fellow's faro,
and as he began to retreat toward the
saloon door, the husband followed, the
meanw’hlle deluging the masher with
the soda. The crowd that had col
lected laughed, the husband "said
things' and the masher rushed into
the saloon to dry his garments and
think It uver.

“It keups the side* apart. *o water
Fill run Into It easily.”
Latex in the day Frankie was dta
covered holding between bis knees a
taan. stray kitten, while, with cheeks
distended, he blew down ita throat
through a tin pea shooter.

RODENT WAS NOT WELCOML
Its Presence Evidently Embarrassed
Fashionable Woman.
“Oh. look. She Is throwing her fur
coat away.”
In respouse to an urchln'a cry the
fashionable parade on F stieot In
Washington stopped In its respective
tracks the other day and gated in
amazement while a handsome woman
calmly walked round a Persian latub
cloak vhich lay on the pavement. Not
a few of i lie watchers thought it a case
of Insanity suddenly developed, and
were for railing the police. Others
thought It a Joko of some sort. But
when one. tedder than the rest, asked
what was the matter, the owner of the
garment said:
rtninuig id particular, except that 1
am wading (or a rat to run out of tho
llnlug Undoubtedly this npitarcntly
preposterous statement would have
been taken Tor still further evidence
of muntai aberiatlou If It had not boon
followed almost immediately by the
appearance of a large rodent from one
of the sleeves The scene In staid old
U street lust at that moment bore a
close resemhlauce to a pony ballet in
most vigorous action. And the rat got
away.
It seems that the owner of the coat
had taken it out of cold storage about
au hour before. Then she went Into
an F street lunchroom, aud when
seated the coat hung to the floor at
her feet. A chorus of feminine shrieks
interrupted the meal, and at cries of
A rat!" the assembled diners mani
fested a sudden fondness for the tops
of their chairs and the tables. Hut tho
rat disappeared, and the lady with the
fur coat soon started on her way. She
had walked Tully half a dosen blocks
before she became conscious that the
coat was unduly heavy, and a mo
ment's Investigation wae sufficient to
disclose the fact that the frightened
rodent in the restaurant had found
refuge in the recesses of her garment.
Then, according to the street urchin,
She threw her coat away.'*
WAS JUST WHAT HE WANTED.
awyer’s Unusual Brevity Appealed
to Secretary Taft.
One of the ablest legal officers of
! ,he government Is Haul Charlton, law
officer of the insular bureau of the
war department. Mr. Charlton was
practicing law in Omaha and came
oast on n trip. Secretary Taft in
vited him to Washington and offered
him the position he now holds Im
mediately after he assumed the of
fice an Important question was pre
xented to Mr. Charlton with a re
piest from the bureau submitting it
for instructions how to proceed. Mr.
Charlton answered the question briefly
and in a few sentences more gave the
leeessary instructions.
The bureau sent back Mr. Charlton's
communication with a auggeetion that
his predecessor wrote lengthy opin
ions and they thought he ahould do
likewise. Mr. Charlton went to the
chief of the bureau.
"Isn’t your question answered ?’’ he
asked.
"O, yee, perfectly.”
"Aren't the instructions explicit?”
Yes, indeed," was the response.
"They are plain, Indeed."
“Then what need Is there for a
lengthy opinion?"
"O, well, we have been accustomed
to long opinions and we can't break
the habit."
Mr. Charlton looked disgusted. The
Incident was repeated to Secretary
Taft.
"Blessed is the lawyer." he ob
served, "who can answer a difficult
legal question and give Instructions
ell on one page.”
Pressed Witness Tss Far.
The famous “Boau" Hlckraaa of
Washington was ones a witness la a
pending rase, and. having testified
In the course of his examination la
chief that the client of ths attorney
on the other side was without funds,
was being sharply cross examined by
that, barrister. Hickman averred that
the client had himself told him of
hla penniless state The lawyer In
sisted that the exar-t language |>e re
peated. Hickman hesitated, but when
pressed under threat of contempt pro
readings, he finally said: “Well, sir,
If 1 must answer, h# told me this
morning that he had no money."
“Well, sir, what language did he use?”
“Why, I asked hlru to loan ms half
a dollar and he said h# couldn't, for
you had robbed him of every cent
of his money, and If he didn't get out
of your clutches very anon his chil
dren would starve." Fly the time the
laughter had subsided and the lawyer
had time to collect hts thoughts tbs
case was decided against him
Mistake Enriched Artist,
There Is a young artist In Washing
ton who classes himself as of the Im
pressionistic school, and who. being
somewhat out In drawing, generally
makes up for Ms lack of technique by
spreading color recklessly and count
ing on distance for his effect. At an
amateur exhibition he once hung one
of his most extraordinary perform
ances “Well," said a friend, whom
the artist had taken to see the work,
“I don't want to flatter you, old chap,
but that Is far and away the best stuff
you have ever done, I congratulate
you.” Much pleased, the artlef was re
ceiving the compliment with becoming
modesty, when he chanced again to
glance at the picture- and turned very
red. The committee had hung It up
side down! Hurrying to the head of
the committee, he was about to launch
Into a loud complaint when he was In
formed of the good news that an hour
before the picture had been sold for
