F.'EVER DREW AN INFERENCE Coachman, However, Thought the Horses Could Draw One If tho Traces Held. A young clergyman who had delivered a discourse In the place of an aged brother minister requested the opinion of the latter respecting it. •Oh,” said he, plainly, “many of the words you used were beyond the comarehension of your hearers. Thus, for instance, the word ‘inference’ —perhaps not half of my parishioners understand its meaning.” “Inference, inference!” exclaitned the other. “Why, everyone must understand that.” “I think you will find it not. so. There’s my clerk, now, lie prides himself upon his learning, and. in truth. Is very intelligent. We will try him. Zr.chariah, come hither. Zaehariah, m In I’, 'r here wishes you to draw an inference; can ,you do ji’ “Why, I am pretty strong but John, the coachman, is stronger than I. I'll ask him.” Zaehariah went out for a few moments to look after the coachman, and ret timed. • •1.,,, v,„ tried to draw an uifercnce, sir; but he reckons his f rses can draw anything that the j trr.-es will hold!” | j 7KILANDER AMD THE ROSE Little Joke That Clever Woi/an Played on a Male Flirt at Coronado Beach. All that you have to do to bring ire to a certain stork and bond broker j down among t.,e marts of Mammon is to wear a red rose. The stock and bond broker has a reputation o f being quite a philanderer —a. "devil among the wimmec,” as it were. And on a recent visit to Coronado he was looking about with a view | to conquest—looking about so obviousIly that a clever woman who was a ] 1 guest at the hotel determined upon a ! little plan. She dropped him a note, intimating that she would like to make his ac qunintance. He answered the note with celerity. He wasted no time. He asked her if she would have dinner with him in San Diego that evening. “And, that I may know you accept,” he concluded, ‘‘will you wear a red | j rose in the dining room at lunch time tomorrow?” At the appointed lunch time every woman in the big dining room wore a red rose! The stock and bond broker left Coronado on the first train. Oh, you red rose! —San Francisco Chronicle. Great Chance for This Judge’s Wife. A New York court has established a ruling that no woman's dress carries a money value after it has been worn ten times. The decision was i made in a fire insurance suit whereby | the plaintiff sought to- recover the full i value of dotting destroyed. In admitting that the clothing had been worn more than ten times the plaintiff lost her case, for the court gave j her tut a trilling sum. Whew! What an opportunity for that judge’s wife! She might hang a tally sheet by her wardrobe door with the record of every wearing of every garment. “Ten times and out” might become her slogan. If she chose, she could have a new dress or two or three new dresses every ten day:*— according to the number of times she wishes to change her clothes in a ' day’s time. Pertrrs at the end of a | month the judge might come to tho conclusion that, rfter all a dre3s has some money value after it has been worn ten times. House of Commons Ghost. An interesting, house of commons ghost is the ’’radiant boy.” This child ghost has been many times seen and j heard. Its complexion is of the color i less purity of Chinese white, a halo of silver sparkles about its head during its peregrinations and its eyes gleam in their sockets, like bright electric lamps. It is evidently in agony, sot tho palms of its hands are stiff and turned downward, and as it paces ffom room to room H gives utterance to moans of angvish and never lifts i its gaze from tha floor. So far as can j j be ascertained this particular ghost | has no prespeclypl history ®rrd why it j : should have chosen the house for its j I haunt is a mystery.—London Mail. Such Boorishness! Another American lady, returning to her beloved country, forgets to declare her gold cigarette case, her gold pofte-monnnie and a few cloth-nf-gold frocks, and is required to "explain"' what ought to have been evident to ary customs inspector worth bis salt. Can ladies be expected to charge their I minds with a lot of such trifles? How can a lady remember how much para ptiarralla of lnvelv womanhood — costly, as a matter of course—she has acquired? Must a lady take stock of all her personal belongings to oblige a few politicians in New York? —New York Evening Sun. Didn’t Do Much Good. Father —Have you done any thinking about how you are to meet your debts? Son —No, dad; but I’ve done a deuce of a lot of wondering!—Puck. Feminine Reasoning. Stella—Her gown is just like yours. Bella—l don't care if hers is a duplicate of mine, but I don't want mine a duplicate of hers.—Puck.

:! DIDN'T NEED TO SWEAR OFF it Was Ready a Monkey the Obit Man Saw in His Hotel Bed. The story of the monkey that was discovered in the bed of a visitor at ■ the Waldorf a few nights ago struck a responsive chord in. the recollection I of an Ohio man who once came to I New York for a week, of pest and I recreation. j The day he landed he got into a j poker game and for seven days he j stuck at it, the game being punctuat ! ed as many poker games are. On the last day he started in to play at 3 ; o’clock in the afternoon. He quit at 11:20, cleaned out. Going upstairs in his hotel and j opening the door, he noticed his valise sitting on the floor and decided he j would get a clean handkerchief out of it and sit down and think it over. As he siuoptii over his glance fell, upon the bed. From the spot where his head might have been two bendy green eyes in a hairy little face | gleamed at him. According to the Ohioan’s account he made not a single exclamation. He simple closed the valise, turned ; out the light and shut the door icon, I the outside. He wenl downstairs, took two or three turns about the I lobby, gave it up, called for a cab | and spent the night driving about, first to one place and then to another, j Daylight found him still going about, and he did not revisit the hotel until late in the afternoon, when he went up to the room clerk to apologize. While standing there ne heard somebody say, “Well,, they found that monkey after ail.” , “Good Lord, I am saved,” shouted the Ohio man, to the astonishment of the clerk. “Then it was a monkey after all. and there is no need of my swearing off." j WHAT HE HAD IN THE CHEST All Was Made Clear When the Man Carrying It Got Off the Train. Man in an elevated car with a small chest about twice as big as the box in which a carpenter carries a selected lot of tools around with him on his shoulder. A row of augur holes bored I in the end of his chest and a handle on top by which to carry it. There were only three or four people in the car and this man with the chest sat away down at one end, and with that chest on the floor in front he would about once in so often raise its lid just a little, but you couldn’t see in. In due course of time the train arrived at the station where the man was to get off, and then he hooked the lie! of that chest down and took it by the handle and walked out in the most matter of fact manner possible, but when he had got about ten feet away irom the foot of the steps he set the chest down and unhooked the hooks and threw back the lid and out hopped two small, white, shaggy, odd-looking but intelligent dogs They | wagged their tails with evident pleasure at getting their feet on the ground once more and out in the open air. The man hooked the lid of the chest down again and picked it up by its handle and then with the two dogs trotting beside him, each on a leash held in the other hand, he started on for where he was going’. Promised Not to Respank His Wife William Novalous of Ashley, near WilkesLarre, Pa., pleaded guilty to spanking his wife because she was extravagant, and Alderman Ricketts ol this city, who heard his story, discharged him. Ho had been arrested by his wife and was not backward about admitting that he had beaten her. “I give j her a sum of money each month to i run the house," he explained, “and when I found that she had spent considerable of this money for othet things I was took my razot strop and spanked her.” As hp promised not to take such ex treme measures next time, and as Mrs, Novalous appeared none the worse fol the spanking, Alderman Ricketts discharged him. Dominoes First Played by Monks. The game of dominoes wag the in vention of two Freueh monks. In Hie beginning they found amusement by I playing at a primitive form of it with i small flat stones they had marked with spots to designate them. When ; a game was finished the winner was ! wont to declare his victory by recitinp I the first line of the vesper service—j, “Dixit Dominmt Domino uieu.” Be fore long all of the monks in the mon astery found recreation In the game and presently the vesper line was cul down, for brevity’s sake, to the dh( word “Domino,” thus furnishing th< name which has clung to the gam« : ; ever since. : !
