GRIFFITH & MORROW.
WOULD WAIT A LITTLE LONGER.
Old Man Was Taking No Chances on
Possible Trouble.
He was a man of 70, but as he had
had his hair and his long whiskers
colored a jet black one had to look at
him twice to get his age down pat It
was on the rear end of a street car,
and after the wind had blown through
those colored whiskers for ten minutes
he asked of the man smoking the
had cigar:
"Any news from Japan this morn- !
ing?”
I didn t see any in my paper,” was
the reply.
“The excitement is sort o’ dying
out, eh?”
“Yes, I think so.”
Hut there may be another row over
something?”
“It is possible, of course, but I
hardly think so. There was no real
cause for the excitement anyhow.”
“No, I guess not, but I'm rather con
servative and I think I’ll wait a cou
ple of weeks longer.”
“For what, may I ask?”
“To pop the question to a widder
who owns a farm on the Connecticut
shore right where the Japs can sail
up and blow the dirt out of it down
to bed-rock. Widder's all right and
farm’s all right up to the present time,
but I’m taking no chances. If every
thing’s all serene for two weeks more
I pop; if there’s any more talk about
war I wipe this dye off and shave up
and tell all widders to go to grass.”
HAIRPINS AND THEIR USES.
Many Popular Services Performed by
Little Instrument.
It is recorded that Zola, on being
asked what impressed him most when
in England, replied: “The sight of so
many hairpins strewn along the paths.”
He probably, with most people, did
not realize to what varied and sei vice
able uses this little article is put. It
is an excellent substitute for a paper
cutter; it will pier’ce a cigar or clean
a pipe; as a buttonhook, either for
boots or gloves, it is invaluable; in
extremities it has served as a tooth
pick, horrible as this may seem;
while, if a sufficient number are used,
it supplies the place of a hatpin.
There is another popular service •
also that it performs. Recently at a
smart hotel a young lady took up a
novel, saying to the man who was
carrying it around: “How far have
you got with this story?” As she
spoke she opened the book with that
quick movement which inevitably' be
trays the bookmarker, then putting it
down with a laugh, added: “Oh, I was
looking for the hairpin which marked
the place you had reached, but of
course you don't use hairpins. ’
Dry Rot in Men.
The first strong external •revela
tion of the dry rot in men is a ten
dency to lurk and lounge; to be at
street corners without intelligible
reason; to be going anywhere when
met; to be about many places rathe*r
than at any; to do nothing tangible,
but to have an intention of perform
ing a variety of intangible duties to
morrow or the day after. When the
manifestation of the disease is ob
served, the observer will usually con
nect it with a vague impression once
formed or received that the patient
was living a little too hard. He will
scarcely have had leisure to turn it
over in his mind and form the ter
rible suspicion “dry rot” w’hen he will
notice a change for the worse in the
patient’s appearance—a certain slov
enliness and deterioration which is
not poverty' nor dirt nor intoxication
nor ill-health, but simply “dry rot.”
Roanoke Times.
Long Spell of Bad Weather.
Two ladies who had not seen each
other for years recently met in the
street. They recognized each other
after a time, and their recognition
was cordial.
‘ So delighted to see you again.
Why, you are scarcely altered.”
“So glad; and how little changed
you are. Why, how long is it since
we met?”
“About ten years.”
“And why have you never been to
see me?”
"My dear, just look at the weather
ive have had.”
DR. OSLER OBJECTS TO SOUP.
According to Him *Most Harmful Ar
ticle of Diet.
Dr. William Osier, to whom 1b ac
credited the oft repeated and oft de- !
nied assertion that people should be !
chloroformed after becoming 60 years
old, is bitterly opposed to the drink
ing of soup, according to the state
ments of a New York merchant.
“My wife was a wreck from nerv
ous dyspepsia,” said the merchant.
“Several prominent physicians in New (
York had treated her without success,
and finally I was advised to take her
to Baltimore to see Dr. Osier. He
inquired carefully about her habits,
and particularly her diet. We de
scribed it without going into details,
but this did no* satisfy the great phy
sician.
“ ‘Tell me what you had for dinner,
describing the nature of the courses,
their number, and so on,’ he in- j
sisted.
“ ‘Well, we usually start with some
good, nourishing soup,’ I began.
“ ‘Stop right there,’ interruptetd Dr.
Osier. ‘Soup must go. There is a pop- ;
ular fallacy that soup is nourishing.
That is a mistake. It is one of the
most harmful things one can eat.
It is worse than lobster. Of course
there are times when a simple beef
or mutton broth is not to be con
demned, but as a rule soup is positive
ly dangerous It dilutes the gastric
juices and it ferments too rapidly to
permit it to be easily digested. It
is the greatest cause of dyspepsia and
nervous disorders. Vegetable soup
should be thrown into the garbage
pail, where it belongs, instead of be
ing poured into a delicate stomach.
Half the nervous wrecks among soci
ety folk who live well are caused by
eating soup.’ ”
TRANSFERS AS WEDDING PEE.
Peculiar Emolument Offered to City
Pastor.
The pastor of a little Lutheran
church up town was called upon the
other day to perform a hurried wed
ding ceremony, says the New York
Press. As the couple left the bride
groom thrust a fat envelope into the j
clergyman’s hands. The grateful
smile that immediately overspread
the clergyman’s face gave place to a
look of chagrin when later the en
velope was found to contain a roll
of green street car transfers.
“Why don’t you have a regular fee,
say two or three dollars, and collect
it in advance?” asked a friend to
whom he indignantly told the story.
“Because,” explained the minister,
“even though a mean trick like this
is sometimes played on me, I come
out better in the long run by leaving
it to the other’s generosity. My peo
ple being mostly poor, they generally
give me one or two dollars; but an
occasional $10 or $20 pulls up the
average. And once, the year of the
Pan-American fair, an actor who came
in here to be married, said he could
give me nothing but a pass to Buffalo
and the fair. I gladly accepted, and
that is the only outing my wife and
I have had for years.”
He Knew.
There Is a well-known federal of
ficial at Washington whose family
stoutly maintain that he is absolutely
color-blind, a contention as stoutly
refuted by the official himself.
On one occasion at table his wife
remarked a new tie her husband was
wearing. “I’ll wager you don't know
what color the tie is, she teasingly
suggested.
“It's blue," said the husband.
“Right! But how on earth did you
know?”
“Well,” said the husband, with the
same assurance, “when 1 bought it
yesterday I told the clerk that if he
didn’t give me blue, I’d throw him out
of the window."—Harper’s Weekly.
The Best Wedding Present.
Mother—If you marry Robert I
swear that I’ll never set foot in your
house!
Daughter—Please put that down in
writing. I'd like to give your promise
to Robert for a wedding present! —
