JOYS OF A GRANDFATHER Extreme Pleasure of Being the World’s Wisest Person to a Little Girl. The reason we are rearing children is because we want to have some grandchildren when we arc old. And we want our children to be poor, so the grandchildren will appreciate the | nickels we will give them. We want one granddaughter four years old, with blue eyes and n blue latrasol. We want her to think we are the greatest person in the whole world. We would be disappointed If she thought anything less of us than tills. And when we are going to take ' her to town we want her to feel Just a 1 little “stuck up” and say to the other children In the neighborhood! "1 can’t ptav today. I'm going to 1 town with grandpa.” When we reach town we want her I to ask the world's wisest person many । questions, and we will answer every । one of them. Not once will we disap j point the child by saying we don't know. As we go along the street we I will hold her hand real tight, so there ■ will not be the least danger of losing her. We will buy her some ice cream that she can eat downtown and some candy | to take home. Os course her mother will tell her she mustn’t eat candy 1 while she has on that pretty white dress. While we are in town her mother will be uneasy. She will be afraid we cun t look after the child properly, but she w 111 be mistaken. We i will watch her closer than her parents * would. In fact, we will think more of her than her parents will, and If they ever dare mistreat her they will | | hear from us. When the child is tired we will leave town, and when we reach home we will feel proud that we have returned her safe and sound. We will listen while she tells her mother all about i the trip, and now and then we will re- 1 mind her of something she has forgot- j ten. Time certainly does pas* slowly. We wish we were already old.—. Fort Worth Star-Telegram. TOO MUCH FOR BILL POSTER Really Could Not Bong Himself to I Pasting the Advertisements Upside Down. The tailor believed In advertising. ' Tn order to make his latest posters count for the uttermost he ordered the bill poster to stick them on walls and , fences upside down. Next morning he took an early walk to view the results, and was Indignant when he found his bills posted rightside up. He forth with visited the bill poster. “Didn't I tell you to put those bills I upside down?” he said. “What do you means by disregarding my orders?” The bill poster replied: “My point is ' this: I understood your orders, but after you had gone I had It out with j myself. ‘You’ve suffered enough through misconception regnrdlrg beer.' I says to myself. 'Some people,’ I says, ’treats you as ff beer was the nlnt and object of your life and you had never b«“en sober. But.’ I says, ’the miscon ception you already suffer under ain’t ' a patch to what you'll lay yourself open to If you put the bottoms of them i bills where their tops ought to be.' , And It ain't, either And I couldn't do p it. really I couldn't.” The tailor got the bill poster’s point of view. f P Fishes With Lanterns. „ Among the most remarkable fishes are those provided with lanterns of । their own and which swim in the dark j recesses of the bottom of the deep! • ocean where no ray of natural light j , from above can penetrate, says the Popular Science Monthly. A model of one of these fishes, notable for Its I phosphorescent organs. Is on exhibition In the United States National museum.. j The sides of the fish are dotted at reg i ular Intervals with luminous spots. In j addition there is a large luminous aren I like a lantern on the top of the head. In the model the luminous spots on I the sides are represented by buttons | of glass connected with the interior । by tubes. The lundnous protuberance 1 on the head was modeled In gelatin and then tinted. When In actual op eration the model is connected with ■ electric current so that a distinct glow I appearing In the side spots and the ' frontal ’lantern" produces n very strife- ' ing and. It is believed by Bah experts, a quite accurate representation of the j appearance of a living phosphorescent deep-sea fish. The model Is about a . foot long. Cocktails Fatal to Digestion. Begin dinner with soup, especially If you are tired or weak. Even the hors d'oeuvres are condemned by the best physicians. And as for cocktail or the sherry and bitters just before the meal, that is fatal to good diges tion. It Is a shock to the stomach—a , shock theta healthy stomach never needs and one that la most Injurious to a weak stomach. If it creates an appetite this Is a false appetite. Besltiva, a cocktail destroys the deli cate perception of the palate, anti If good wine Is to be served with the din ner its quality Is not appreciated by the man who has just drunk a cock tall. — Between Girls. “That young man says he wants n dinging vine.” "What's that to me?” “Bettor set your cap for him.
