JUMPIN JOE.
The idea of a free show aroused the
smothered flames of 1776, and they blazed
forth till everything which could walk
piled into my tent an hour ahead of time
and shouted fur the conkorin hero to show
hiuelf and begin biznoss. The minit l
appeared that vast and patriotic aujoonco
tie up as one person and indulged in
thunderiflck applause, doorin which time,
overcum by the excitement of tho occa-
shun, my jumpin frog escaped from his
lair and madeaclenn jump of ten feet
eight inches and lighted on the back of
my five legged wolf. When the tumulchns
demonstrashun had died away, and the
patriots and patriotesscs had got settled
down on the benches. I placed my hand
on my heart and stepped for'ds and inter
duced myself and the nggregashun and
called perticklcr nttonshun to the fact
that thar was nuthin to pay. Sum yelled
and sum wept, and it was easy to see that
I had the populashun with me.
The fast thing shown on the panoramy
was a plctur’ oi‘ Niagnry fails. I had six
taller candles hack of it and six in front.
and the plctur’ was thrown out so vividly
that my cddecated hog fetched a grunt

these didn't last ten minits. When that
insect rallied and began friakin about,
usin hie legs as limberly as if nuthln had
happened. the enthooaiaatie populace
knewed that I was no deeeiver. and they
blessed my. name.
The panoramy was then finished, and
l gin the cengregeshnn a free exhibishun
of the intelligence of my eddccated hog
and the wonderful jumpin powers of my
jumpin frog. Nuthin like it had ever bin
seen in Cherokee, and at several stages of
the game I had to stop and feelin'ly re-
quest the overexcited natives to stand
back and gin mo air. The performance
wound up jest as l advertised it should. i
tied my eddecated beg to a stake, put on
my swallcrteilcd coat and white gloves
and desired all those who wished to be
united in the bonds of wedlock to step
for'ds. The hull populashun moved asone.
Couples who had bin married fur 40 y'are
wanted to be hitched up agin, and widders
and widowers and young men and wimin
saw that it was the opportunity of a life-
time and decided to delay no longer. The
hour bein late and the children sleepy, I
married the hull crowd to once and with-
out axin any embarrassin qneahuna or
obleegin ’em to hunt up weddin rings.
Half an hour later I got the last patriot
enter my tent, fastened the door and lay
down in the midst of my monster aggre-
gashun to feel that I had contributed to
the happiness of my feller men and to
dream that i had not lived in vain.

“Where's the head of this establish-
ment?" demanded a wrathy woman as
she walked into the oillco of a down town
trunk store.
“Here,” piped a feeble voice, and a lit-
tle man retreated behind a desk and looked
weekly over the top.
“1 sent you a trunk, air. to be ropairml."
“W-w-hnt name, please?" inquired the
trunk man.
“Smith. sir, plain Smith. and I don't
want it spelled with an ‘0' or a ‘y,’ thank
you.”
“Yos'm, and the item is here on the
ledger: "l‘runk rclined, outside varnished
and repaired,’ sent home good as now."
“That’s it. and I've a great mind to sue
you for damages. "
“To the trunk?"
“No, air, to my feelings. li’ore I've
traveled over the whole globe and had in-
bels in 17 different languages, and as many
more colors, all over that trunk, and you
soaked them all off and replaced them
with a coat of your miserable varnish.
Oh, if I could just got my hands on you,
I’d varnish"—
But the trunk mnu shrioked, "Fire,
murder. thievesl" and in the melee the
wrathful woman documpcd, but never
again will ntrunk be made over to look
“as good as new" in that establishment.

long journeys over various parts of Eu

cereal, and that was at a hotel almost on-
tirely patronized by Americans and kept
byn man who had lived in America in
Paris. We ware talking of corn to an Eng-
lishman this nummor. Said ho, “And do
you really out it in the States?" “Why,
yes." "We only food it to animals."

It Is In Japan and "as lll‘lil ’l‘n-iuurea
for Over L200 You".
Japan possesses what is undoubtedly
the oldest Wooden structure in tin.- world.
it contains the art treasures of the
Mikado. and is situated at Nara, which
for some years wasthc imperial residence.
The building is oblong in shape and is
built of triangular logs of wood. lt nets
on piles. The Wood used is of native
growth and shown extraordinary lasting
power, considering the trying climate
which it has had to endure for over L200
years. A peculiar feature about the logo
of which the building is comirurted is
that in the parts most exposed to the
weather the logs are thinner by several
inches than in those in a more sheltered
position, the wood having gradually worn
away.
The treasures which (be rinrt'lmus‘e
contain» are of great antiquity and have
only been seen by Euriipouue during the
last three yearn. They consist of rare and
beautiful fabrics of Persian. lmiinu.(.‘hb
nose and Turkish munufuciuw, and au-
cient articles of ”vertu" from all parts
of the World. Among the objects of iu~
terent is the earliest known specimen of
Japanese printing. Eton io-day many of
the words are easily tim‘iplu-rulilv. 'i'hc
treasures have remained undiaim'lwd in
the sumo building for igloo years, and
despite the iruublous Liam tiu‘ougii
which it has been inexisionrr it has never
been injured or disturbed.
