tumorous department. A Hopeless Case.?Congressman C. Hv Randall of California, when reference was made . to dodging debtors, said he was reminded of a party named Jake Gymp, according to the Philadelphia Telegraph. Jake, who was notoriously bad pay, took advantage of a new storekeeper in the town and managed to get a dollar's worth of horse feed on credit. Finally, when the money was not forthcoming. the storekeeper set outl the "voice" interfered in the proceedings. "Getting worked up as he neared the closing passages of his oration, the professor said: "Ladies and Gentlemen: I do assure you that I never cease thanking the good soul who first persuaded me to give vegetarianism a trial! I have never for an instant regretted the day when I decided to give up meat eating forever! Before I took this step 1 was a wretched, ailing creature?a thing of aches and pains; an undersized, hesitating mortal, more like an animated scarecrow than a man. To vegeterianism alone can be given the credit for this change?this?" Here the horrible "voice" interrupted with: "Wot change, guv'nor?" Playing It Safe.?A satire on those belligerent '"neutral" citizens who fight out the European war in the United States, is furnished in this story, says the Philadelphia Record. A certain man-about-town had in his employ a small and fiery Japanese valet who never grew tired of condemning the Germans and all their works. His repeated tirades finally wearied his employer and the latter decided to call a halt. So. one day, after Sato had delivered himself of an unusually bitter tirade, his employer questioned him: "Why don't you go back hqme and fight if you feel that way about it?" he asked. Wv?. q mnmont fiotn nrae aatminriprf "Me Melican citizen," he replied at length. His voice showed a sense of injured dignity. "You confounded rascal," roared his employer, "how dare you tell me such a preposterous thing as that!" The Japanese bowed low. "Japanese in time o' peace," he explained politely, "but Melican in time of war." No Us? for Him.?The handsome young minister always stationed himself at the church door after the service in order to greet his parishoners as they filed out. One Sabbath morning came a raw Swedish maid, a stranger, so, with his usual cordiality, the minister grasped her hand and said: "I am very glad to see you here this morning. Will you not tell me your name and address, so that I may call on you soon " The maid looked him coldly in the eye and, withdrawing her hand, renliwi "I t'ank you, but I got one steady fella alreadity; he come twice a week, and I t'ank he no like you to come." Feared Prejudice.?Down in one of the southern states a colored man was haled into court on a charge of stealing chickens, and in defending him, his attorney challenged several of the jurors on the ground that they might he prejudiced. "Are there any more of the jurors you wish to be challenged?" finally whispered the lawyer, leaning toward his client. "No. sah," returned the client, negatively shaking his head, "but I thinks yo* had bettah challenge dat judge." "The judge!" exclaimed the amazed lawyer. "What do you mean?" "It am dis way, boss," exclaimed the client: "I had been up befo" dat judge seberal times, an I'se afeard dat he may be a leetle prejudiced again' me." The Easiest Way.?Mrs. Bright and little nephew, Kenneth, were visiting some relatives in the country, and, one morning, were crossing a pasture lot together. When they were about half way across, Mrs. Bright saw two oxen, and paused doubtfully. "I really don't know whether it is safe for us to go so near those oxen, Kenneth," she said, stopping. "Oh, don't be afraid of the oxen, auntie," said Kenneth, as he tighthie hnlH r\n hor hnnH pnofiiimfrinf*. ly. "They won't hurt us. The first time I came out here I was afraid of them. I didn't dare to po back of them. But I thoupht of a fine way at last, auntie: I just pot down and crawled under them." Her Reason.?Mr. Capron and his wife struppled valiantly to teach their little dauphter Edith to repeat the letter "a." Try as they mipht, the little ir'rl refused to pronounce the first letter of the alphabet, and aft?r several vain efforts, Mr. Capron retired from the strupple discouraped. Mrs. Capron called the child to her, and in an affectionate manner asked: "Edith, dear, tell mother why you won't learn to say 'a.'" "Well. mother." exnlained Edith. "it's because just as soon as I say 'a' you and father will want me to say 'b.' "?Harper's Magazine. * " ~ I to collect. "I came to see you about that dollar for horse feed," said he, approaching Jake in a field some distance from the house. "Do you think you can pay me today?" "How's that?" returned Jake, put ting a hand to his ear and speaking in a highly pitched voice. "What did ye say?" "I said," returned the storekeeper, going closer and shouting like a glee club, "that it's time you paid me that dollar!" "Can't hear a word ye say,'* declared Jake. "Ye'll have ter speak up a bit louder." "Just wait a minute," cried the storekeeper, feeling In his pocket for a lead pencil. "I will write it down." '"Tain't no use, mister," returned Jake, with a hopeless shake of his head. "Can't see to read without my specs." That "Voice" Again.?For many weeks the town had been ornamented by bills announcing that a lecture on the value of vegetarianism would be delivered by Prof. P. Knot. There being nothing else going on in the town at the time, quite a respectable crowd filed into the hall. The professor was eloquent, and before he half finished his lecture many of the people present had decided to give his teachings a trial when?alas!

PNEUMONIA DON'TS Breathe P'enty of Pure Air and Avoid Excesses, Says Expert. Look out for pneumonia at this time of year, says the bulletin issued by the department of Health and Charities of Philadelphia. The disease claimed 3,060 victims in Philadelphia last year, taking second place among the deadly diseases in the city. But, says Director Ziegler's bulletin, it is easy to resist the harmful effects of the germ so long as we receive an ample supply i1 pure air and keep our bodily standard up to normal. Obey the following "Don'ts," says the Health Department, and you need not fear pneumonia. "Don't poison yourself with tainted air by staying in poorly ventilated, overheated, crowded, foul-smelling places. Fresh air does not cause pneumonia or any other disease, but is necessary for good health, in winter as well as in summer. "Don't injure your health and lower your vitality by overeating, or excesses of any kind. Good general health, maintained at a high standard by right living, is the best possible safeguard against pneumonia or any other germ disease. "Don't indulge to excess in alcoholic liquors. Those who become addicted to alcohol reduce their resistance to pneumonia and increase the liability of death from it. "Don't sleep with the bedroom windows closed. Night air is purer than day air; it contains less dust and fewr>r crprms. "Don't permit direct drafts to blow I on you, whether in bed or out. "Don't sit around with wet feet or " in wet clothing. "Don't permit any one who has pneumonia to pass it on to you. Treat pneumonia as a 'catching;' disease." Kitchener's Tender Side. Lord Kitchener is by no means the cold, unemotional man he is represented to be. In action he is, as the late G. W. Stevens put it, "a brain working in a box of ice," but he can shed tears. Once in the final Soudan campaign, when sudden and torrential rains swept away the labor of months, he broke down, wept, and, like Job, asked why he should be thus afflicted. Again, in the final scene at Khartoum, when a thanksgiving service was held, the tears rolled down his face, and he made no effort to hide them. At the durbar there appeared 200 old men, all that was left of the Sepoys who remained loyal in the mutiny, to be reviewed by the duke of Oonnaught and the victory. Lord Tr!i ? mo a thoro q )ul Mlllinirr, ui tuuiov, nuo he gazed in silence at the line of quavering veterans. Then he turned to a brother officer of high rank, and said: "I say, old chap, let's give these men a cheer!" All responded to the call, and a moment later it was seen that the tears were standing in Lord Kitchener's eyes.?Philadelphia Record. Housing Governors.?A bill has been prepared for the Michigan legislature, providing for a governor's residence in Lansing. Michigan should adopt the plan of housing its governors and furnishing him a place for entertaining the guests of the state, it will be the twenty-third state to do so. | A canvass of the states reveal the I fact that North Carolina leads the list I of twenty-two in elaborate provision I for its chief executive. The pover- % lor's residence in that state cost $125,- *T 00. Pennsylvania expended $100,000 1 'or that state's executive mansion. Kentucky, $97,000; Georgia, $95,000; llinois, $88,500; South Carolina, $60,100; New York, Alabama and Wash- ^ ngton, $50,00 each; West Virginia, >45,000; Nevada, $40,000; Tennessee, ea >31,000 and Mississippi, $30,000. y< The states of Arkansas, Indiana, 111 !owa and South Dakota pay rent for t'n lousing their governors, while Arizona, Colorado, Connetlcut Delaware, Vlaine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minlesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Dhio, Oklahoma, Oregon and Vermont nave no provision for a governor's residence.?Lansing (Mich.) dispatch. , BELGIAN FARMS SMALL I ^ National Law is Responsible for ' Small Holdings. An outstanding feature of the Belgian farming is the small size of the 'arms. More than half of the Belgian 'arms are less than an acre in size. One cause of small farms in Belgium is a law prohibiting the leaving It )y any man of all his property to one :hild, declares Wallaces' Farmer. It 8 required that the property be divid- ^ :d among his children. Of course the a' :hildren can agree to hold the land sh ntact, but in practice the result has ly >een a great sub-division of the land. ^ The average acre of Belgian land cc ents for a cash rent of about $10, but in here is some share renting, the agree- Wl nent being half and half, and the andlord to furnish half of the ferti- jn izer. The average value of the Belgian so and is now about $300 an acre, pas- ar ure land averaging a little more than his and cultivated land a little less. Eighty years ago Belgian land was er vorth just half this much. Why is Belgian land so high? It is ? lot so fertile as much of the land of England or Germany, yet it is more val- ^ table because there are some half mil- p? ion Belgians who have the ability to o make $300 land bear interest on td he investment. They are able to do his because they work hard and are atlsfled with little. Another reason j or the high price of land is the keen ca :ompetition for it. Because of the (mall pieces into which it is divided and is constantly on the market and <a here are always farm hands and rent- yc 'rs who are eager to own a piece of and for themselves, and so the price at s bid up to the limit.
