Coon HfNTiNa.?The officers of the
English squadron prepared for their
recent visit to this country by an exhaustive
study of so-called American
slang, that they might enjoy that "delightful
American humor" over which
the English have recently become so
enthusiastic.
During their stay in Annapolis a
coon hunt was arranged for their benefit.
the officer in charge explaining to
them that it was a sport highly
thought of and native to tne soumern
states.
As they rode along one of the Englishmen
remarked: "You hunt these
coons with dogs, I think?"
His host assented and the Englishman
continued: "They are found in
the woods and are often caught in
trees, aren't they?"
"They are," replied the American:
"but how do you come to know so
much about coon hunting?"
"Oh," said,the visitor, with an air
of conscious pride, "I've read 'Uncle
Tom's Cabin,' you know, and all those
articles that have come out in the papers
lately, but to tell the truth, I
didn't think it was allowed by the authorities,
no matter what the nigger
had done."?Llpplncott's.
His Story Was True.?Here's a '
cup I got in Morocco," said the en- i
thusiastlc tourist, showing his collection
of souvenirs; "you see it is an
Arabic inscription."
His friend was turning the cup curiously
around. At length he remarked,
dryly:
"Yes, the inscription is Arabic, all
right."
"Sura!" replied the returned tourist,
a little miffed at the intimation of
a possible doubt.
"You can read it better if you turn
the cup upside down," suggested the
friend; and suiting the action to the
word, he showed the tourist that the
mysterious characters were nothing
more than "1903" engraved in rough,
irregular figures on the metal.
"The rascal!" exclaimed the out?
raged collector; "he told me that was
an Arabic inscription when he sold it
to me!"
"He told you nothing more than
the truth," was the reply. "You forget
that our numerals are Arabic."
But somehow from that moment
the collector lost interest in the souvenir
from Morocco.?New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
Sweet Simpljcitt.?In the old days
there was a professor of psychology*
' at Dartmouth who was so abstruse
that It is doubtful If, at times, he fully
understood himself.
One day he was profounder than
usual. He lectured for nearly an hour
on topics away over in the back of the
book.
The class was dazed. It was far
above their heads and they did not
understand even the edges of it.
When he finished, the old man took
out his watch and said genially:
"Now, there are ten minutes of the
hour remaining. If any student desires
to ask me a question I shall be
glad to answer it to the best of my
ability."
nnr thh nm.
XTie t'ltws oai iu a ovu|a/i. *?*v
feasor waited for a time and then
said:
"Is there no one who has a questton
to ask? There are remaining" several
minutes that could be profitably employed."
Finally, one student put up a reluctant
hand.
"Ah," said the professor, "you have
a question. What is it?'
"What time Is it?" stammered the
student.?Saturday Evening Post.
DID AS HiE WAS I'QJLD. AD UlllUBiiiB
Instance of "llteral-mlndedness" was
afforded not long ago by a bell-boy in
a hotel in Washington.
One of the guests, a congressman
from the west, had hurried to the hotel
clerk's counter. He had just ten
minutes In which to pay his bill, reach
the railway station and board his train.
When he hastily had transacted his
business with the clerk and had turned
to dash out of the door, it suddenly
occurred to him that he had forgotten
something. "Here, boy!" shouted
he to a diminutive negro on the bench
"run to room No. 48 just as quick as
you can. and see whether I have left a
box on the bureau. But hurry, as I
have only five minutes."
The boy rushed up the stairs. In
two or three minutes he returned, out
of breath. "Yes, sah!" he panted, "you
left it, sah!"
Profanity Allowed For.?If there
was anything the late Senator Hoar
disliked more than did another it was
profanity.
The story Is told how much shocked
the venerable senator would be by in
the inflammatory Interjection of a
certain politician with whom he frequently
was compelled to confer. But
on all such occasions be would refrain
from censuring the culprit except in
the mildest manner.
One day when the politician came to
the senator's committee-room on a
subject of considerable Importance. Mr.
Hoar indicated a seat to him, and remarked:
"How, Mr. Blank, before we enter
upon a discussion of this question, we
shall assume that everybody ami
tverythlng is damned. Then we can
talk it over amicably."
A Warning.?A young man In new
York, who is anbitious to attain fame
at the bar, was conversing with a
friend touching the probabilities of
success, when the latter was moved to
take a pessimistic view of the situatfpb
''5>on't you," he asked, "ever despair
o$ gaining a good practice at the
lpw?"
"I du not," was the confident response
of the youthful disciple of
Blackstogft"At
least you wUA admit." went on
the other, "that the profession Is already
overcrowded."
"Perhaps It Is," laughingly responded;
the youth. "All the same. I
propose t? graduate in law, and those
who are already in, the profession will
have to take their chance."?Harper's
Weekly.
Sir "Pa," said little Willie, looking up
ff*om his book, "what is 'a comatose
state?' "
"Well, my son," replied Willie's pa,
"Just at present there isn't a single
comatose state in the Union; all hustling
and prosperous."
I*" "Yis," said Mrs. Clancy, "we had
plinty o' money wanst. Me husband
had a good job, but he lost it."
"Ah!" said the charitable busybody,
"and he's never had any since?"
"That's Jisht it, ma'am; he's never
bad anny sinse."
