the woman of the house told of i
her difficulty In getting along ai?? -*f an

"The first morning this man stopped i

eggs very greedily. Egg after egg tie
ate?three, four. five, six?and It was
only the yolk of them that he swallowed:
the white he didn't pother with
at all. c
"When he dug his spoon into the sev- J

What the Type Said. ^
Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, was one of a ?
group of newspaper men who during a
convention of that fraternity were one e
afternoon talking of typographical er 8
rors. Said he: "While I've heard of a b
great many funny typographical breaks c
in my time, about the oddest and most f
humorous transposition of types that v
ever came to my observation was that v
in a New York paper some years ago. ^
The paper used to print its shipping
news on the same page with the obit- a
uaries. Imagine the glee witn which
its readers found the captions chauged !
one morning, a long list or respecuiDie i
names being set forth antler the ma

Very Thoughtful of Him.
A young gentleman who lives some- j
where west of Euclid village and a bit
east of the square has always been
noted for his good breeding, and.
though as a college student he has j
sometimes been a trifle worse for late
hours, he has never forgotten his code.
A few weeks ago he made a determined
effort to enter a dwelling which
he firmly believed to be his own. He
-was met at the door by an angry man
In pajamas, who told him that he had ?
made a grievous mistake and. further- f
more, requested him not to make so _
much noise, because his (the householder's)
wife was very M- Our friend *
made abject and ample apologies and
departed. His own home eluded him ?
again, however, and In a few minutes
he was knocking at the same door. J
The worried man in pajamas again
descended. *
"1 told you before that this to my ?
house!" he shouted angrily. "And I *
told you that my wife is 111. What
do you mean by coming back here?" ?
"I rememb'r perfly what you told *
me about your sick house an' your own ;
dear wife," answered the wayfarer sol
amnly. even tearfully. "And 1 couldn't +
sleep thin kin' about 'em. 1 came back
to ask if they are better."?Cleveland \
Plain Dealer. *
Scotch Consolation. *
A story is told of a canny Scot who
dealt in old horses, alternating his I
pells of labor with heavy sprees.
During the period of depression which
followed each overindulgence John habitually
took to bed and there diligently
studied the family Bible. During
one of these fits of attempted reformation
his condition prompted his
wife to call in the Rev. Mr. Wallace,
the parish minister, who at the time
happened to be passing.
V "Oh. Maister Wallace, come in and
& see oor John. He's rale bad."
"What's wrang wf him?'
BW "lie's feart to meet his Makker,"
said Mrs. John.

A Lost Joke.
Mark Twain and Chauncey M. Depew
once made a trip from Europe 1
on the same liner. One evening after
dinner It was suggested that the din- 1
v ers while away the early evening In
Bl speechmaking. When Twain's turn
arrived he arose and delivered a charHg
acteristic address. When the senator
? was culled upon to speak, however, he '
Y Jiade an evasion.
| "It was understood." he said, "that j
Sir. Clemens and I should write out l
I speeches and prepare in advance for
I Just such an occasion as this; also {
i that he should exchange manuscripts |
We have done so. but 1 regret that I
have mislaid Mr. Clemens* manuI
script and that I have forgotten his
speech." \
The audience laughed heartily at the i
Joke as Depew sat down.
While strolling about the deck the j
\ following morning Mark Twain was
stopped by an Englishman, who said ,
to him rather confidentially:
