MR. GUNNYSACK GETS EVEN
For Once, He Is Satisfied He Got the
Better of Hated Telephone
Company.
Old Mr. Ounnysack, whose standing
grievance has been the service he ob
tained from slot machine telephone
booths, is at last mollified. It has been
his bitter complaint that frequently de
lay In getting a number has forced him
to sacrifice his nickel, the snld nickel
being a total loss because he lacked
time to wait for Central to return his
coin.
The other dny he approached a
booth In one of the railroad terminals
as a harassed and hurried-looking
young man emerged and made a wild
dash for an nbout-to-depart suburban
train. Mr. Q. entered the booth, depos
ited his nickel and gave his number.
“The line Is busy,” said Central In
a moment or two. “I’ll return your
money." And with that Mr. Q.’s nickel
fell Into the little compartment pro
vided. But It was not alone. With It
came 35 cents which the hurried young
man, his out-of-town number being also
busy, had not waited to collect. —New

Little Jamie had Just come home
from Sunday school and his mother
asked him what he had learned. “Why,
mother," he said, "we learned all the

It kept mo awake.
Mornings I'd feel

bor, so I began
using them. Doan’s soon rid me of
the trouble entirely.”

WANTED PAY FOR KEEPING IT
Rank Directors Decided That Particu
lar Note Had Been in Storage
Long Enough.
E. C. Stokes, president of a bank of
Trenton, N. J., tells this story:
One day the cashier of a bank said
to an old customer: “The board of di
rectors at their last meeting decided
that they would no longer renew your
note.”
„“That’s going to be exceedingly em
barrassing,” replied the customer. “Be
cause this note has been in the bank
now about twenty-five years.”
“Well,” responded the cashier, “the
directors are not going to turn you
down, exactly. They have decided
they can no longer discount your note,
but they are going to charge you stor
age on it.”
Probably it Was.
“Did you hear that Kate bobbed her
hair?” asked Margery.
“My heavens, no! How does she
like it?” I said.
“Well, she’s kind of disappointed
in it,” my chum answered.
“Disappointed,” I sniffed. “With
that face she has no right to be dis
appointed.”
What was my consternation to have
the door of an adjoining bedroom open,
and Kate walked out. I shut up like a
clam. Wasn’t that the best thing I
could do? —Exchange.
What He Was Seeking.
“What sort of a neighborhood la
this?”
“Excellent. Some of the best peo
ple In town live in this section.”
“That may be, but what I want to
know Is can they afford to have more
than we can afford? I’m tired of
keeping up with other people. I want
to try living In a place where I shall
set the pace for awhile.”
Case of Unpreparedness.
Verne Batteese, who runs the pump
ing station, had the anguish of seeing
a black fox stop at easy range to look
at him. He had carried his gun dally
for a long time, but that day left it
home. The beautiful creature was
sighted a long way off and came nearer
and nearer till be stopped to look Bat
teese over, and the latter had the pain
ful experience of seeing a thousand
dollars walk away from him. —Port-

It takes more to shock a girl nowa

“Yes,” replied Hostetter Smith. “But
have you noticed any disinclination on
the part of a man to provide her with
sufficient cause to produce that re
sult?” —Kansas City Star.
