^tumorous Scpartmrnt. Middling Good Money.?Just before the Civil War so much counterfeit money was in circulation that business men found it advantageous to use a counterfeit banknote detector. A storekeeper in a New Hampshire village came into possession of a banknote which he strongly suspected to be counterfeit, so he sent it to a nearby city in charge of an old stage driver for examination. On two successive trips the old fellow forgot this particular errand. A third time he was charged with it in terms unmistakably strong. Again he foreot. Fearing to confess his care lessness, he resolved to brave it out somehow. "Well," said the storekeeper anxiously, did they say it was a bad bill?" % "Why no," responded the stage driver, deliberately, "not exactly." "Not exactly?" ejaculated the other. "What do you mean? Was it good?" "No, not exactly that, either?" and the old man brightened a little. "They said they guessed it was 'bout middlinV Put Into Practice.?Poor Pattison went into a druggist's shop for some plaster for his head. "I've always tried to bring up my children to think before they speak," he said, with a sigh; "but I am convinced it is a wrong principle." "Surely not, sir," answered the druggist sympathetically. "Yes, sir," Pattison replied; "I told my children always to count ten before they say anything. This morning I went out for a walk with my eldest son. We were walking near some partially-built houses, when Tom called out: "'Oh, father!' i "'Now, steady, my boy,' I said, seeing he was excited. 'Count ten.'" "Did he obey you?" i "Yes, worse luck, he did: but before he had got to five the brick he had seen falling hit me on the head. Thank you! how much?" m The Spinster Scored.?Somehow or < other, whenever a man makes a re- i mark to a spinster about her being an "old maid" she manages to get even 1 with him. In a certain county where i the Quakers were numerous the entire i body on one occasion gathered togeth- < er for one of their periodical meetings. < After the exercises of the morning a public luncheon was held, at which all ] the Friends attended. The conversation turned to matrimony. "Hannah," said an unmannerly i youthful member of the society, speak- i ing across the crowded table to a < prim, elderly maiden lady, "wilt thou ? tell me why thou has never married?" l "Certainly, friend William," respond- < ed Hannah, in a voice audible over the | room. "'Tis because I am not so easi- i ly pleased as thy wife was." ] 1 The Only Way.?He was a very raw recruit, and particularly stupid at that, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The drill-sergeant did not know what to do with him. He had tried pati- < ence, he had tried language; all in vain. "Squad?halt!" yelled the sergeant. The double rank of men obeyed, but ( the very raw recruit marched gaily on. 1 "Fitzmooney!" shouted the sergeant. ? "Yus, sergint." "Did ye ever drive a donkey?" "Yus, sergint." "What did ye say to him when ye wanted him to stop?" "I said 'Whoa,' Sergint." "Very well, Squad?'tshun! By the right, quick march! Left, left, left! Squad, halt! Whoa, Fltzmooney!" Up in the Air.?"General Funston," said a war correspondent who had been at the front, "was admiring one day in Vera Cruz the splendid Hying of one of our army airmen. " 'No uncertainty about that chap," the general said. 'He's not like a flier 1 heard of recently. " A millionaire paid this flier $100 to be taken up in his monoplane. Up they rose, but the dipping, the zig-zagging and the sidestepping were terrible. "'Easy, man, easy!' the millionaire roared above the shriek of the wind and the thunder of the motor. 'Easy! This is only my second trip, remember.' " 'It's my first,' said the pilot." When Scot Met Scot.?The lady was the owner of a small shop, writes the London Telegraph, and her squire acquired the habit of seeing her home, and carrying the cash bag that contained the day's takings. It was generally heavy. "You must be doin' weel," remarked th*? ppntlcman. freouentlv. "Oh, ay," the lady would reply, "it's a guid bit business." Hut she did not disclose that besides the moderate drawings, the bag con tained the counter weights. The canny lover only discovered that fact after marriage. Fearful Mortality.?The Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, of the City Temple, London. says the Philadelphia Ledger, once hud a collection to the announcement of which he added with deep pathos: "Widows and orphans will not be expected to contribute." A few Sundays later there was another collection for the same object. "This time," said the preacher, "widows and orphans will not be exempt: for no battle ever made so many widows and orphans as the announcement made on the previous Sunday." Ready for New Life.?An old lady visiting the prisoners in a certain prison was chatting pleasantly with a burglar who had been sentenced to serve a long term. She thought she detected signs of reform in him. "And now," she said, "have you any plans made for the future, on the expiration of your sentence?" "Oh, yes, madam!" he said, hopefully, "I've got the plans of two banks and a postoftice!" The old lady collapsed. Keeping It Up.?Shortly after the death of one of Kngland's great poets one of his devoted admirers visited the little village where the poet had lived and died. The stranger entered into conversation with an old man, a native of the village, remarking sadly on tindeath of the poet. "Aye, aye," answered the old man encouragingly; "still 1 mak' no doobt hut the wife'll carry the business on." All Changed.?"We don't have honest elections in dis town like we used to,'* said .Mr. Krastus 1'inkley. "Like you used to!" "Yassah. It used to be dat when dey promised you $2 for yeh vote you'd git It. Now dey won't even promise!"? Washington Star. GUNS BY THE THOUSAND I An Army of Men Busy in Krupp Works ' Night and Day. *' To the rumors that the Krupp ' works at Essen are building 56-cen- { thneter guns, has now been added 1 another?the claim that the same > plant is turning out 56-centimeter I pieces, says a correspondent of the 1 Associated Press. While it is hard 1 to believe this, it must be borne in ' mind that a siege piece of 4 2-centi- ' meters, the existence of which was < doubted before the war, has become ' a convincing reality, as has also the ? Austrian 30.5-centimeter piece, which ' even after the outbreak of the war was looked upon as the object of a very interesting fable. To be sure a 30.5-centimeter (about J i't-inch) eun was not in itself a n<?v- < elty. Hut that the Austrians would ( be able to make .such a piece mobile | for field purposes was thought out of , the question. The same process of ] reasoning was applied to the Geramn ( 42-centimeter or 16 1-2-inch gun. A < mathematical relation of cause and ( effect, in this instance, the ability of \ steel to withstand the shock of the j propelling explosion, and the weight I which such a machine of destruction | would have, led to the conclusion that I a 16 1-2-inch gun, while possible, could not be transported easily 1 enough to permit its use in the field, i Nevertheless, it was shown that. < though the German 42-centimeter gun weighs about 36 tons, transportation i difficulties had been overcome largely 1 with the aid of motor traction and j other devices. i Since the increase in weight of a ma /m. ')9.lnfh irnn nvpr a uo-cruuiiicici. vi - ...v... 0? __ 42-centimeter gun would not be very I great, and since the increase in a 60- < centimeter or 23 1-2-inch gun over a 22-incher would be an almost negligible quantity, the existence of such pieces need not be doubted in this re spect. If it is possible to move over j ordinary roads and across soft fields < a 26-ton piece, it is not unreasonable 1 to expect that a gun weighing 35 ; tons would offer no new transporta- ( tion problems. The case is one of in- 1 crease in motive power instead of new * aspects in transportation. ^ No attention need be paid to popu- j lar rumors making the rounds in * Germany that the new pieces are ' designed to bombard the English j coast from the coast of France. The i extreme flight of the 16 1-2-inch shell | has recently been given as about 12 j kilometers for the "krumbahn" or i high trajectory pieces, and 16 kilometers for those having a flatter 1 course. Since the increase in calibre from 16 1-2 to 23 1-2 does not neces sarily mean a proportionate length- ' ?ning of the range, it is not at all j likely that the English coast cities apposite Calais and other channel ' points will make the acquaintance of 1 Lhe "Brummers"?as the Germans j have come to call their large siege pieces. 1 The 56-om and 60-om pieces, . should they actually exist, would find i their uses, and these, as more or less 1 well informed circles assert, would ' consist of arming some naval base ] an the channel which the Germans i hope to establish during the course 1 of this war. It is maintained that j Calais has been decided upon as the best locality for such a base, and that "f1 Wor a Warm XV hen y< 5 sewing i the heat alon Perfection oil ilv carried an> draw it up ta work in comfo room has no < of heat.
