LONG SINCE HE HEARD WORD

Tramp Probably Would Have Needed Dictionary to Get Proper Definition of Morale. The tramp was a long, skinny Indivldual with a particularly villainous cast of countenance, and he wore a pair of trousers that had been designed for a man of at least three times his diameter. His rap on the farmhouse door brought out a sour, hard-faced puritanical woman who froze him with one glance and then proceeded to eye him up and down — especially down. “You needn’t ask me for anything," she said, harshly. "I can see that your morals are of the loosest kind and that you deserve nothing." “Well, mum,” replied the tramp, glancing down at his nether garments, “mebbe so, though I ain’t never heard ’em called that name before.

SOME OTHER KIND OF BISCUIT

Mrs. Pomple Satisfied Cows Were Not Fed on Anything That Was Composed of Milk. One after the other, customers had come to the shop and complained about the milk. “What I want to know," said Mrs. Pomple, who looked almost as thin as the milk, “is what you feed yodr cows on?” “Feed them on?" snapped the dairymga. "Why, I reckon we feeds them better than a good many human beings I know feeds themselves” —thia with a chalky stare at the thin customer. “My cows are fed on the fat of the land, and if their fodder ain’t up to the mark, we give ’em the finest biscuits we can buy. And if we can’t buy the biscuits, we make ’em. I stops at nothing when I wish to please my customers.” “I’m not denying it," declared Mrs. Pomple, “but I challenge you to contradict me when I declare that it ain’t milk biscuits you feed ’em on.” —London Tit-Bits.

SPARED FAIR SEX

Oldtime "Knights of the Road” Not Always Stern. Even Notorious Freebooters Have Been Known to Succumb to ♦ Feminine Wilee—Captain Kidd Among the Number. Highwaymen, If ancient ballads and traditions concerning famous “knights of the road" may be believed, have often been polite to ladies; but pirates, rarely. Nevertheless, the late Elizabeth Christophers Hobson, in her delightful “Recollections of a Happy Life," relates an instance of a polite pirate who not only spared one of her ancestresses from molestation, but made her a valuable present To be sure, the lady in the case, who was Mrs. John Lion Gardiner of Gardiner’s Island, made the first polite advances, and the pirate, who was none other than the notorious Capt. Kidd himself merely reciprocated in kind. The owner of the Island was absent when Kidd landed upon it. and Mrs. Gardiner, terrified but keeping her wits about her, Invited the formidable freebooter to dinner In the hope of placating him. He accepted, and she so wisely and willly fed or charmed him, or both, that he later sent to her two rich gifts, both of which are still preserved by her descendants: the “Kidd pitcher,” now strengthened by a silver band bearing an inscription recording Its history, and the “Kidd blanket,” a piece of superb embroidery two yards long. In crimson, green and gold. When the pitcber presented, it was full of rare East Indian sweetmeats; the blanket Is sometimes called the “Kidd altar cloth,” since It was phesumably stolen from a South American or Mexican church in some piratical raid. Among the most famous names in the reprehensible but picturesque roll of British highwaymen la that of Claude Duval, who. along with his French name, possessed a dash of French politeness, at least toward the fair and easily frightened sex. He is reputed on various occasions to have spared pretty ladies their rings or lockets, if they begged him winningly enough, or had the art, which one notable belle of his era professed such a useful one to a woman, of “being able to Weep movingly, and that without Streaking of Cheeks, of Redning of Nose, but soe onelylhat Grate Teares of Pure Crlstall Slide softely from Lids to Chinne, Like as Dew Droppes upon a Rose.” His most notable concession to feminine charm was not, however, a complete surrender: It was a bargain. The lovely lady with whom It was made was promised Immunity for all her rich jewels, If she would but descend from the coach and forthwith dance a coranto on the heath, with the gallant and graceful Claude for her partner—a condition with which she readily complied.

A “knight of the road,” of less note than Duval —Indeed, quite a minor, modest figure In the annals of crime—nevertheless figured magnanimously In an old, broad-sheet ballad, tn which he assisted, instead of despoiling, a lady in distress. She was, the story relates, thb poor but beautiful widow oY a riotous young nobleman just killed In a duel. Although of gentle blood, she was beneath him In rank, and the match had been secret. When the coach was held up she was on her way to seefc out her husband’s parents and ask their forgiveness and protection for herself and her baby boy. All she had to prove her case was her wedding ring and her certificate of marriage, penned and signed in miniature and carried In a locket round her neck. When these two precious trinkets were demanded at the point of a pistol, she was in despair; but the robber, hearing her story, was moved to pity.

H. save her back her email cold Tins. He put it her Barer on; Bays, “Yours and mine and yours araln. Though hardly it was won.’* He rave hogback her rolden locket: Says. “Now think well of me,” ▲nd gold and rubies to fill her pocket—**O thanks, kind sirl" says she. If the grateful pocketing of such dubious gold and rubles by an Innocent and lovely heroine in distress seems somewhat strange, the reader must remember that broad-sheet ballads of the road are concerned only with glorification of their highwaymen heroes; consistency, conscience and the heroines themselves are alike unimportant and Incidental. —Youth’s Companion.

I was using my seven passenger touring car to help a friend who was running a bus line, but who was temporarily short of cars. We were mak Ing certain routes and had on our windshields cards giving our places of destination. I was suddenly called from my regular route to take a couple to the minister to be married. As we were going up the street, with the bride adorned with her white veil and the groom in his best suit, both sitting in back, I noticed that many we met were convulsed with laughter. I didn’t realize the cause until I reached the parsonage and found that I had failed to remove from the windshield the sign: “This car to the cemetery.”—Exchange. .
