Malvy, announced last week that the famous cathedral of Rheims had been destroyed ml other historic and public building either laid in ruins or seriously damaged by German artillery. Coupled with this announcement j was a statement that the government; had decided to address to ad the powers a note of indignant protest against "this act of odious vandalism." | MMtlMMNtMMMtMMMi U COLUMN OF GRINS! ?? ?? ?+??? $ M Too Busy. ... "De<man dot insists on tellin' all he knows/' said Uncle Eben, "keeps hisself so busy talkin' dat he don't git m chance to get much real information/* Feather-brained Wit. "She is the author of many articles decrying the use of birds and feathers as oranments for hats." "One of those nom-de-plume writers, I presume." Muse lie a Reason. Bill?"They say that Parisians smoke cigarettes made of the leaves of the coffee plant. Many who have tried them prefer them to tobacco for cigarettes." Jill?"There's a reason. Perhaps a man gets more coupons with them.'* Decidedly Serious. Father?"Jane, is that young man's intention serious?" Daughter?"I think so, pa; he says our carriage shed could easily be trans formed into a garage, and he thinks the attic would make a dandy billiardroom and bowling alley." The Senator. "1 suppose, Jerry," said the eminet statcman, looking through his pocketbook for a new dollar bill, "like a lot of other folks now adays, you would rather have clean money?" "Oh! That's all right, senator," said the cabman. "1 don't care how you make your money." Curious About It. Mr. Brown had just registered and was auoui 10 nun away wnen the clerk asked: "Dog pardon, sir, hut what's your name?" "Name?" echoed the indignant guest. "Don't you see my signature on the register?" "1 do," returned the clerk calmly. "That is what aroused my curiosity." No Cause to Kick. "Is that your mule?" asked the man going fishing. "Yas, sir," said the colored man, who was sitting on a log by the road. "Does he kick?" "Deed, mistuh, he ain't got no cause to kick. He's getting his own way right along. I am de one dat's havin' the worry an' difficulty." Hadn't the Nerve. A town character who had been in trouble with the police many timeswas arrested recently on a minor criminal charge. The arresting officer was amazed when the fellow appeared^ in Police Court with a lawyer prepared to make a defense. His case was called, and the judge asked: "Prisoner, are you guilty or not guilty?" "Let my lawyer plead not guilty for me, judge," was the reply. "I ain't got the nerve." The Telephone. i*n o ? - - vYiien urover Cleveland's little girl was quite young her father once telephoned to the White House from Chicago and asked Mrs. Cleveland to bring the child to the 'phone. Lifting the little one up to the instrument* Mrs. Cleveland watched her expression change from wilderment to wonder and then to fear. It was surely her father's voice, yet she looked at the telephone incredulously. After examining the tiny opening she burst into tears. "Mama," she sobbed, "how can we ever get papa out of that \ little hole?" Both C oming and (Joing. Pat was standing near the car track when he noticed an automobile coming up the street, and to be safe he stepped back a little. The auto went past, and, just as it was passing, the driver had oeccasion to turn off the track. When he did, the auto skidded on the track, causing the back end of it to swing around, striking and knocking Pat down. Pat was seen to get up and look after the car and say: "Now, phat do ye think of that? Whin ye stand in front of them they run over you and whin ye git out o' the way to let 'em pass, they turn around and kick you." Couldn't Catch Him. Young Albert was a practical youth and everything: that he learned at school he endeavored to apply to his daily life and work. The lad has recently become very friendly with a little hoy who had lately moved in that vicinity, and one afternoon his mother asked him if his little playmate was an only child. Whereupon Albert looked very wise and triumphant "He's got just one srster," he said. "He trieu to catch mo when he told me he nad two half-sisters, but I , guess "i knew enough about, fractions for that.''
