"Order arms! Ground arms Take the

A Long Journey. .
Years ago when there were only
wopden sidewalks In the city of Win
nipeg, Canada, holes were bored In the
frianks to let the water run through.
In the morning twilight a policeman
found a man with the tip of his wood-

"What are ye doln' here?" asked the
policeman.
"G'way. offsher." said the man. ''Got

A Seasoned Colt.
Mrs. TJ. S. Grant was spending one
summer in the New England hills, and
She happened to be at hand when a
native woman walked into tbe yard to
deliver some eggs. "It's a long walk
to town," the woman volunteered.
"Don't you own a horse?" asked Mrs.
Grant. ..'.''..'V.
The woman sniveled. "We had a
colt, but it died last week." She sud

Tery fond of the colt, whereupon the
woman dried her eyes. l

all loved every inch of him."
Mrs. Grant inquired how they came

A Considerate Wife.
A man who had been indulging too
heavily was Induced to sign .the
pledge.
"You must let me have It. said the
wife. "I will ktn it for you." So the
pledge was handed over to the wife's
custody.
The next day the man was drinking
again as freely as before.
"How Is this?" asked a friend. "You
signed the pledge yesterday, and now
you are drinking again."
"It is all right," replied the pledge
signer In unsteady tones. "I don't
have to keep that pledge. My wife
says she will keen it for me. That's
the kind of wife to have, old fellow.'

"A wise lawyer is a silent man. The
fewer unnecessary questions he asks
the better for him," says Senator Root,
'A little girl taught me this early in

mother. I patted her on the head and
said:
" 'You are a beautiful girl. Don't you
want to come to my house and be my

"She answered decidedly: 'No, 1
don't. And I don't want mother to,
either.' " 4
