The old game of crowding into the end seat in the open car has begun. An Alabama b0 I has solved a per- plexing baseball problem by killing an umpire. ______ The street organ is a source of great joy to the children these mild spring evenings. A man is certainly in love when he lets his wife make his shirts and cut his hair. There is no use of crying over spill- ed milk, but when it comes to soup it is high time to howl. A copper trust is the latest, and nat- urally enough its projectors expect to make a pretty penny out of it. One never feels that the English lan- guage is so poor and mean a thing un- til a letter of condolence is to be indit- .ed. , It would seem that we are approach- .ing a solution of the fly-time problem. Michigan reports the birth of a calf with two‘tails. A man will do a lot of talking in fav- or of the down-trodden sex, and then be sulky for ten days if his first baby happens to be a girl. The man who possesses enough nerve to wear last season’s straw hat always feels called upon to give a false reason for his streak of economy. A Kentuckian says he understands that oil is sometimes used to calm troubled waters, but what he can’t un- derstand is why any one should trouble water. Hon. Joe Blackburn told a Kentucky jury the other day that a graveyard is as dark as hell. Has Joe exclusive in- formation ofa shortage of fuel in the latter-named place. The decent length skirt may not be as modest as the one that trails in the dust, but the wearer is more certain that her lingerie is cleaner than the petticoi'tts of the slave to a filthy fash- ion. The price of gas in New York has been reduced to sixty five cents a thou- sand, but the poor consumers will have to suffer at the hands of the editors of the yellow newspapers, V’W he will be sure to claim all the credit for the re duction. One of the German papers says Kaiser Willie characterized what Coghlan said at the Union League Club as “aussfluss der 'weinlauiic.” That’s sim- ply awful. If Coghlan actually was guilty of it, there seems no way of get- ting round a crisis. A Constant Reader wants to know something about the pronunciation of the German word “hoch.” He has an idea that it is called “hock.” This leads him to ask if “Hock der Kaiser" doesn’t mean to put him in pawn. The Constant Reader has an ingenious im- agination. But he doesn’t get the pro— nunciation right, and this distorts the meaning. If he will say “hoch” as if he had a hair on his palate he will just about get it. Come now, altogether (Ihoch I” In a home out in the country, not far from town, we are informed, there may be seen quite a pile of sewing lying on the floor, nearly in the middle of the .room, that has been lying there undis- turbed for more than six months. At that time the head of the house wanted a chair, and seeing but one handy be dumped to the floor the sewing which lay upon it. His wife asked him to pick it up. He said he wouldn’t do it. She told him as he threw it there it could remain until he got ready to pick it up. She wouldrnever touch it. And there it remains, a. memorial to an incompati- bility of disposition. .-.>..___._._ ,.
