LONG, Admr. i Nov. 2, 1909?3w2 Ready Wit. Many good stories are told of the "Poet" Craig, for so many years a familiar, figure on the London cricket and football grounds. On one occasion Craig began at the Oval. "Gentlemen, this is my favorite ground," when some one interrupted: "Craig, you said that at Leyton last ^ 1- 99 WWVtW. 'Tea, sir," returned the unabashed poet, "and I shall say it at Canterbury next week. The ground on which the noble game is being played before an assembly of intelligent and enlightened purchasers of my poetry is aTways my farorite ground for the time being." But Craig knew how to keep an impertinent interrupter in his place. Once a stout, red faced man broke in on one of his speeches with: "Craig, you're making a lot of money out of fools. When are yeru going to set hp a 'pub? " "When yen eeme and lire next door to me. sir."' was the answer, and the red faced man turned crimson. Another man at the Oral once said: "Now. Craig, tell us bow muck you're made ont of bad poetry." "More. I venture to say. sir. than you're made out of bad manners!"? London Scraps. The Wall Street Game. The burning question on Wall street Is always whether stocks will go up or down. If any man were able to answer It correctly he could make himself a millionaire in a day. but speculation is neither a fortune telling nor a gambling game, and the man who believes otherwise is bound to lose bis money and to join the ranks of the disconsolate. disgusted and depleted who make the outcry against the evils of Wall street, says Leslie's Weekly. The winner in Wall street is gifted with the same business characteristics that bring success in any line of enterprise. He utilizes them In buying and selling stocks, just as he would if be were engaged in merchandizing. He knows, for instance, that prosperous conditions are reflected by we.at are called the bank exchanges, by railway earnings, the record of failures, the condition of the iron market, the balance of trade and especially the outlook for the crops. Baked Cheese Omelets. Baked cheese omelets are most appetizing and may be prepared in several ways. A good recipe calls for a pint of milk, four large eggs, one heaping tabiespoonful of flour, one of butter and a teaspocnful of salt. Let the milk heat on the stove until it reaches the boiling point. Beat the butter and flour to a cream and gradually mix it with the hot milk, taking care that no lumps form. Cook the mixture for five minutes. Let it cool and add the egg after beating the yolks and the whites separately. The whites should be beaten to as stiff a froth as possible. Pour the omelet into a buttered dish, sprinkle the top with grated cheese and fold some of the cheese through the omelet The more cheese used the better. Let the omelet bake for half an hour ot until it is solid, so that it will not "run" when dipped ont with a spoon. It should bake in a hot oven.?New York Tribune. Corn, Oats and Wheat as "Seeds. School children in the crowded part of Xew York do not speak of corn and oats and wheat by those names, but always refer to them as "seeds." The other day in one of the big schools the teacher was talking to her pupils about gardening. She ended with a request for each pupil to bring a few seeds the next day to be planted in the window boxes. The following morning the children appeared mostly with either oats, wheat -or corn. While putting a fewgrains of each in the earth the teacher referred to tbem by their familiar names. One of the girls in the class took courage to "set the teacher right" and. said: "Some one must 'a* told you wrong, teacher. That." pointing to the wheat, "is bread seed, an* that yellow stuff ain't corn: it's pigeon seed. We always call them that in the block where we live."?New York Sun. Poser For the Husband. Returning home from Atlantic City, a Fraukford man drew a photograph carefully from his pocket and showed it to his wife. Said he. "There's a man who's in love with you." It was not a good picture, one of those cheap piugpong photographs. The husband h;ul not been in a condition to be well "taken," and there was little likeness. His wife looked at the picture for several minutes, very much puzzled. Finally she spoke up: "Why, it's Jim! Where did you see him? And where did you get this? And what did he tell you?"?Philadelphia Times. To Tamo Him. "So you're going to iutroduce baseball among the prisoners? 1 don't approve. What will become of discipline?" "If a man gets too obstreperous." replied the warden confidently, "we'll make him umpire." ? Philadelphia Ledger. A Matter of Hours. Bangs?What is the difference between a woman's whist club and a man's poker club? Wangs?Why, In one you get home to dinner and in the other to breakfast.?Newark Star. Advantage of Education. "Are you satisfied with the results of the course which your daughter followed at college?" "Perfectly satisfied. She is going to maitt one of the professors." Excesses in youth are drafts upon old age, payable about thirty yean after date.?Chicago News. BUg > As Cdl ???? Extreme Absentmincfednese. "The queerest case of absentmindedness that I hare ever known of." remarked the night clerk of a certain hotel. "was that which happened at this hotel early yesterday morning. Two fellow boarders, one Jones by name and the other whose name is Brown, occupied a room on the third floor. rT ? 11 T> ? ?-k rv> rt t O horft i I \> Kill JOIUWU Itryuwicil UJC IV uu > V I him wakened at 3 o'clock so as to a I- J low bira to catch the 4 o'clock train. He was awakened at the requested time, and in his hurry to dress himself he put on .Tones* clothes by mistake/ j He did not discover his mistake until | he reached the depot, and, would you believe it"?here the speaker paused? "when he found out that he was wearing some one else's clothes he immediately returned to the hotel and went right to bed." "I don't see any absentmindedness about that," broke in one of the listeners. "You don't? Why, he thought that I had awakened the wrong man." Lifs at the Pole. Life at the pole is a perpetual battle with nature, iti which man is often, worsted. "He was frozen to death" is the end of many biographies. While a man is In health they speak of him as "stronger than death." as if death were a watchful enemy always waiting for his chance. But life is on a large scale up there. Instead of the petty alternations of night and day they hare the great seasonal succession, and. whether they are waiting for the long light of summer or the long dark of winter, they enjoy a keen delight in the prospect of a change such as we can never know in the tamer arrangements of our climate. The long dark does not keep tbem wholly Inactive. We read of 11*- ? i?-_ ei|iBUiuvus aucr ueai auu uuuiiup, vu the ice by torchlight, but In the main their winter is given up to story telling, conversation and contemplation. Bored No More. "Yes." said the famous M. P? "I used to be pestered to death by a bore. My secretary was a good natured. obliging chan. and he could never find it in bis heart to turn the bore away. Just as sure as 1 was in the ! bore was certain to be admitted. "One day, after au hour's martyrdom at the man's hands, 1 determined to end that persecution. So 1 called i my secretary and said to him mys- I teriously: " 'Parton. do you kuow what makes Smith come here so regularly?* - 'No. sir.' said Partou, '1 can't say I do.' " 'Well, Parton,' said I, '1 don't mind telling you in confidence that he's after your job.' "From that day." concluded the M. P.. "I saw uo more of the bore."?London Scraps. Seventeen Year Locusts. The seventeen year locusts are sometimes called Pharaoh's locusts because they make a souud that resembles the repeating over and over of that historic | name. The notes or songs are not what might be termed vocal, as they are produced by the rapid vibrations of two very thin films that cover a small cavity at the base of the abdomen. In some localities the sound produced is somewhat different from that heard in other sections. Along streams, especially along the Ohio river, the notes are more bass, while on the highlands and especially iu the mountain regions the sounds produced are more shrill.? Omoho Wnrld.tlflralfl An Advantage. A well known Scottish clergyman got into conversation in a railway carriage with a workingwan, who informI ed hint that he had been a coupler on ; a railway for several years.
