What Old Mose Cared For the Most
of All. .
When old Mose applied for work
he was given a job shoveling sand at
a dollar a day.
A few days later the foreman
passed near the sand hank and, to
his surprise, saw Mose comfortably
seated on a pile of sand directing
the movements of another dusky la
borer. "Why, Mose," he exclaimed, f?
did not hire that man! What's he
doing here ?"
"I got him er-doing my wuk, sab'
replied Mose.
"Who pays Kim?" was the ques
tion. "I does, sah. I pays him a dollah
a day, sah," was the response.
"Why, that's all you receive,
Mose. How do you profit by the
transaction?" asked the amazed
foreman.
"Well," replied Mose, scratching
his woolly head, "I gets to Tjosw de
job, doan' I?" Lippiricott's Maga

The Minister and the Widow.
The Eev. Samuel Bobbins, a broth
er of the late Eev. Chandler Bob
bins of Boston, was noted for his
wit. One of his bes retorts wa3
made in Pramingham Center, where
forty years ago he was pastor of the
Unitarian church.
He had heard that a young widow
in his congregation was intending
again c o.jier the matrimonial state,
and, as he knew her very well, he
br,oacJied the subject to her.
"Yes," she replied, "I feel that my
little son Edward needs a father's
care."-
"Oho!" exclaimed Mr. Bobbins.

TWO BORN FINANCIERS.
Two budding financiers have been
unearthed by the police. These
worthies, aged twelve and fourteen,
have in a single day made 9,000 per
cent on the capital of a penny. Ob
taining entrance with this sum to a
lavatory, l?b. 1 removed his nether
garments. These were pawned by
No. 2 for 50 cents. With the capi
tal thus brought into the business
he bought a watch on the install
ment system. A loan of $2.50 was
now floated with the aid of the
watch at a second pawnbroker's.
He returned to pawnbroker A and
took "out" the trousers, which were
then resumed by No. 1, and the two
divided between them the $2 minus
working expenses, friction on boot
leather, etc. Allowing for -Sundays
and short holidays for the directors
on the Biviera, the company's an
nual profits at this rate would be

Cannon's Definition.
Just as soon as Uncle Joe Cannon
reached Washington at the opening
of the session he hunted up in the
committee rooms a number of his
old cronies, sevieral of whom in the
Democratic ranks came in for a bit
of chaffing at the hands of the gen
ial speaker.

who had gone down in the recent
election were in nowise as knocked
out in spirits as they had been in
the election.
"I'm proud of you, boys," said he,
"for I don't find a pessimist in the
crowd."
By the way, Cannon," said some
one, "what is your definition of a
pessimist ?"
"A pessimist," asserted Uncle Joe,
with convincing gravity, "is a fellow
that goes around looking for thorns
to sit on." Je-ar Tork Times.
Judge Bishop and General Butler.
During a session of the superior
court at East Cambridge, whn
Judge Bobert B. Bishop was on the
bench, a case was called in which a
back country farmer appeared as a
witness. While giving his testimony
the question of dates came up.
"It happened in 1882," said the
witness.
"Are you sure it was that year?"
asked the counsel. .
- "Dead sure," said the witness.
"Will you tell the court why you
are so certain about the year?" ask
ed the counsel.
"Well," drawled the witness, "I
know because it was the year Ben
Butler defeated Bob Bishop for gov
ernor." Boston Herald.

A Fine Game.
A simple hiding game may tto
played as follows:
Children ate sent away to blind
their eyes, and some object, either a
ball, box, toy or block, is used to
hide where it will be in sight.
The children come back and look
all about. No child says a word or
points to the object, but when he
sees it he goes quietly and sitydown.
The ones who know do not look at
or point to the object. The point of
the game is self control. Children
would point naturally or speak or
rush toward the object, but in this
they control themselves to a wonder
ful extent. -
The child who sees the object first
1, chosen to hide the object and
choose the ones to blind their eyes.
There is little speaking in the game.
