Wheu former Governor Haw ley of Idabo was prosecuting attorney in tne mining districts of the state a reform wave hit Idaho City, and the reformers made it as uncomfortable as possible for the whisky sellers. A general store keeper was suspected of selling liquor without a license. Hawley summoned the iriver of a freight wagon before the grand jury to testify whether he bad hauled whisky from Boise to Idaho City for the store keeper. The driver was sworn. Hawley questioned him: "Did you or did you not haul a barrel of whisky from Boise to Idaho City on Mai 12 and deliver it at 10 Blank street?" "01 hauled the barrel," the driver swore, "but Oi don't know phwat was in It" "Don't know what was in it?" roared the Attorney. "Wasn't the barrel marked?" "Yis, sor." % "Then how dare you tell the court that you don't know what was In It?" .

The bandelsreisender, or commercial traveler, la a disturbing element la the small Norwegian hotels, says Mr. H. K. Daniels in bis book, "Home Lite In Norway." He comes and goes at all hour9 of the day and night and Is always accompanied by a racket which Is not conducive to slumber. I remember one night or rather early morning being haled from blissful dreams by a terrific din. Doors were being slammed, heavy boxes dumped upon the landing, the sounds of scurrying feet were all over the house, and dominating the whole, like an oboe In the orchestra, was a stentorian voice demanding the production of a hot meal. "But." stipulated the voice in a tone of uncompromising tniculence as 1 got out of bed and proceeded to dress (further sleep being out of the question), "tell me. first, is this thing I have heard about your establishment true? Because, if it is, I prefer to bestow my natronaee on some other house in jtown. Tell me. Is tliis.n noisy hotel?' Yes, Hs Wa? Fond of Her. A small touring company was going the round of some of the English towns, and everywhere the audiences were delighted with the Juvenile leading lady. She was so bright and fre6b and girlish that the entire male portion of the audiences promptly fell in lovfr'with her. One evening a youthful admirer sought out the manager of the company. a rather fine looking, bearded man. and proceeded to flsh for an introduction to the charming little lady. He had, he said, enjoyed her acting so much. "It jnust be very pleasant to know her," he suggested. "I expect you who see her so often are very fond of her?" "Well, yes," admitted the manager. "Yes, I am rather fond of her." "Perhaps you've known her for some time?" suggested the admirer. "Yes, quite a long time," agreed the manager. "But it can't be so very long," protested the other. "She's little more than a girl." Then a horrid suspicion came to. him. "You?you're not her husband, are you?" he faltered. "No; oh. no," said the manager. "I'm her son!" No Doubt About It. There la an amusing story connected with Dr. Chavasse, the bishop of Liverpool. Dr. Chavasse Is the father of two sets of twins, and soon after Mrs. Chavasse had had twins for the second time a curate from a neighboring parish was asked to preach the Sunday morning sermon in Dr. Chavasse's churCD. li.Y an exiniuruju.irj' tuuiti- j dence he chose as his text the words, i "Two are better than one." A quite audible giggle came from one or two members of the congregation, ; and. quite ignorant of the cause of his j hearers' amusement, the curate gazed ' at them in shocked surprise. Then, j fearing that there might be something amiss with his surplice, he tried to examine himself. Finding nothing amiss, he looked sternly at the congregation and repeated his text in a loud, clear voice: "Two are better than one!" As he now seemed to be calling attention to his little Joke, the entire congregation quivered with suppressed mfrtk-Load* Gtoti* * t ALL IN THE SAME BOAT." ??? "I They Selected an Unlucky Time For Their Gaetronomic Crime. Most people have a pet aversion, and that of King Edward VII. was onion*. The odor of the fragrant bulb on another's breath was simply maddening to the usually genial monarch. In this connection an anecdote Is related by CL W. Stamper, who was the king's motoa mechanic. In bis book, "What I Know.** The royal party was enjoying a to cauon at Diurnu. ouilu^ wvuicm that the sergea4t footman, the king's courier and the postmaster lunched heartily on beefsteak and onions one day, and soon afterward the king wanted to see the postmaster. So the courier, named Fehr, called the sergeant footman, named Hawkins, and the king was proceeding to tell him. when he stopped short, looked at the man and angrily blurted out: ; "Hawkins, you've been eating onions!" "No, your majesty," protested the unlucky Hawkins "Yes. you have. I'm sure you have: Send Mr. Hilcy here at once and Mr. Fehr." "Yes. vour malestv." The sergeant footman withdrew, and presently Postmaster 4liley was an- ? nounced. The king called hlra to his side and was beginning to read to him a telegram he wanted him to dispatch when he suddenly burst out: "Riley, you've been eating onions!" "No, your majesty," ?aid the postmaster, instinctively recoiling. "Yes, you have; it's disgraceful." < The courier then entered- the room and approached very warily, but Iris majesty's sense of smell was keen, and all Fehr's efforts to suppress the facts in the case were unavailing. The king looked up sharply, sat hack in his chair and groaned: "I'm ? if you haven't been eating onions too." * Psreeveranos. Perseverance is more prevailing than violence, and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together yield themselves up when taken little by little.?Plutarch. Two 8urprio# Partioo. A party of ladles and gentlemen exploring the depths of a celebrated mine ^ arranged that a lunch should be partaken of on the 1,500 foot leveL Foot large baskets full of dainties, both liquid and substantial, were therefore lowered to the depths. These descendr~? MADE SHORT WORK OF THE DAINTTBA ed first among a group of honest Oor? nlah miners delving on the 1,200 foot level, who, in the absence of any instruction, decided, after much discussion, that It must be a national holiday or something of the kind above ground and that this was a kindly little compliment from the owners. They therefore fell to on the eatables with much energy and made short work of the dainties. When the exhausted excursionists, after their tramp through the mine. Inquired for their refreshments they discovered only the empty hampers and about twenty brawny miners full of chicken salad, champagne, i mashed Ice and other things dancing a Cornish breakdown.?London Expresa. What tha Function Raally Was. Ethel Barrymore was Inviting her friends to a birthday party. "There'll be a birthday cake, I soppose?" some one asked. "Yes, there'll be a cake, never fear," was the i;eply. "And candles, of course?" went on the questioner. "My friend." said Miss Barrymore, "this Is to be a birthday party, not a , torchlight procession." ? \ Put It Where It Was Most Useful. Cricket was Introduced Into a certain district of India by a clergyman from England, who hoped that the game would foster a manly spirit All went well, according to the author of "A ? Little Tour In India," +he boys became Keeil UUU U milieu ?US ail uu^m mm a. neighboring school. Then the clergyman gave his team 15 rupees ($4.80) to spend "on new bats or whatever would be most useful." When the day came the team turned out for the match full of quiet confidence, but with all their old accoutermenta. "Why," asked the padre, "what have you done with those 15 rupees I gave youf* "Well, air," said the captain, "we thought It beet to spend It all on the umpire." They
