The Unpopuler Man, His Neighbors affa the Coming Funeral.

A Georgia man who was unpopular in bis community insared his life for $2,000. He took the policy home to his wife and said:

‘*Maria, here’s a life insurance docu- ment for $2,000.’’

‘Thank you, dear,’’ said his wife. “How are you feeling today?’

‘‘Not well,’’ be replied, ‘‘and I don’t think I am long for this world, and I want to say to you that when I die it is my wish that you devote $1,000 of the money to defraying my funeral ex- penses. *’

‘*Mercy on me,”’ exclaimed the wife, ‘“‘why do you want such an expensive funeral?’’

‘I'll explain. I'm perfectly satisfied that nobody will attend my funeral, and I want to hire people to go aé 30 much e head. I’m going ont today and see what arrangements I can make for at- tendants on that forthcoming melan- choly occasion. If they won't come gratis, why—lI’il just hire ‘em and give ‘em an order on you for the money.’’

He went forth, and at nightfall re- turned with a dejected look.

‘*Maria,’’ he said, ‘‘it’s no use. You can have the whole $2,000. Just go to my funeral yourself.'’—Atlanta Con- stitution.

Payable to “Sweetest of the Sweet.”

Framed and hung up in the Agricul- tural bank of Paris, Ky., is a check which was made payable to ‘‘Sweetest of the Sweet,’ and so indorsed.

President McClue of the bank tells the story of the check as follows:

**One of our depositors recently gave his wife a check for $10, the check be- ing regularly filled out and duly signed, except that it was made payable to ‘Sweetest of the Sweet.’ When the lady presented the check for payment, I innocently inquired:

‘**Who is this ‘‘Sweetest of the Sweet?’’ ’

** “Why, it’s me,’ she replied,

“I told her to indorse the chock, which she did, and handed it back.

‘ ‘But, madam,’ I said, ‘you must indorse it just as drawn, to the ‘‘Sweet- est of the Sweet."" ’

‘‘She snatched up the pen and wrote the words below the vame, and I paid the money.’’~—-Chicago Chronicle

He Wanders No More.

**What’s become of your companion?” asked the lady of the tramp at the door.

*‘Gone,’’ said the itinerant, pointing upward. ‘‘You see he had «# faintin spell ope day and a lady threw some water in his face. It was too much for Jim. His pilgrimage is 0’er.’’—You- kers Statesman.

**Tow shall I begin this story of the explosion?’ asked the new reporter.

**Begin it, ‘The story of last night's stupendous tragedy is soon told,’ etc.,’’ replied the city editor. ‘‘And, by the way, youd beiter niake about three columns of it.’’— Town Topics.

Securing a Substitute.

Mattie—Ii'm so serry, dear, to learn that death has robbed you of your fa- vorite poodle. How can you ever console yourself for his loss?

IN THE MERRY WORLD.

The Weather Prophet's Woos, I promised them a rainstorm, And it never rained a jot, Then prophesied a hailstorm, And the sun was piping hot.

I told them snow was coming, And the sky was summer bine. Then I wrote of frosts and blizzarda, And both of them fell through.

I promised April showers, And December came instead. Then I said it would be cloudy, And the sky was clear and red,

So now I take of guesses An armful, hit or miss, A little bit of that and A little bit of this.

I shake them in a bottle, ~ Promise wind and snow and rain, Fog s and clouds and c le aring weather

In a manner brief and piain.

In this way I'm sure to hit ‘em Whiche’cr way the wind may blow, And next day I calmly tell 'em: “Certainly! I told you so!’ —H. 8. Barnes in New York Sun,

The Refugee,

“To you see the man?’

**Yes, 1 see the man.”’

** And the crowd that is following him?”

eh Sas

**Does the mob wanttolynch him? What has he done? Murdered somebody?’’

**No, he has net coiumitted a crime, but an awful fate is in store for him. He has just been getting married, and the men who are chasing him are life insurance solicitors.’’—Cleveland Leader.

A Problem Play.

“T believe you describe your new pice» as a problem play,’’ said the friend.

**Yes,’’ replied the theatrical manager. ‘*That’s what the author said it was going to be, and for ence he knew what he was talking about. Making the receipts cover the railway and hotel bills keeps me doing arithmetic 24 heurs a day.’’—-Washington Star.

Of the Home Guard.

A citizen whe ceuld never be persuaded to enter politics received this flattering no- tice from a Georgia editor:

Congress, legislatur’, Couldn't make im roam}; Full o’ human natur’; Fell in leve with home,

Never nuthin like him Any time «’ day; Lightnin didn’t strike him ’Cause he kept out o’ the way. —Atlanta Constitution,

Gastric Trouble.

“That was an awful tragedy at Minze m- heim’s. The hired girl blew out the gas’’—+

‘* And was found dead?’’

‘‘Naw. The top of the window happen- ed to be wide open. But Minzenheim fell in an apoplectic fit when he found how, the gas had been wasted.’’—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Old Sinner. He was.a hundred and a day. He slyly looked at me. ‘*Yeth, I have drunk and chewed and thmoked Through all my life,”’ said he,

He was a hundred and a day, And he was sturdy yet. But, gentle reader, it was in The poorhouse that we met. —Cleveland Leader.

Glad He Survived. ;

The good lady scrutinized him closely. *“‘Didn’t I give you a whole meat pie a day or two ago?’’ she inquired in icy tones. — “Yes, mum,’’ replied the tramp. “I’m the same party. But I’ve recovered, and if you'll make it plain bread and butter

“this time I'll be much obliged.’’—Tit-Bits.

Faith.

ne. What's faith in man? (I meannohurt. J only. ask to try you, sweet.)

SHE. Why, to believe there isashirt neath every ascot tie you meet! —New York Sunday Journal.

In the Klondike.

Mulcahey—Here, Moike! Oi’ve struck @ Dugget thot weighs a thoosand poonds.

Dennigan—Freeze oa to it Patrick, me boy!

Mulcahey—Thot’s what Oi’ve done. Hurry and bring the stove from the shanty and milt me loose!— Memphis Appeal.

Cheap Enough, mt Tom—May I have a kiss? Paliy—No, but I will sell youall you, want. Tom—How much do you charge? Pally—Two kisses apiece. (He buys half a dozen.)—New York Journal.
