Queer Old Book I ittes. These are some of the odd tides of old English books published in the time of Cromwell: "A Most Delectable Sweet Perfumed Nosegay For God’s Saints to Smell At " “Biscuit Baked In the Oven of Charity, carefully conserved for the Chickens of the Church, the Sparrows of the Spirit and the Sweet Swallows of Salvation.” “A Sioli of Sorrow For the Sinners of Zion breathed out of a Hole hi the Wail of an Earthly Vessel known A mum.' Men by the name of Samuel Fish.” “Eggs of Charity I.nyed For the Chickens of the Covenant and Boiled with the Water of Divine Love. Take ye out and Eat.” “The Spiritual Mustard Pot to make the Soul Sneeze with Devotion.” The Sailor’t Prayer Book. “This is what you call the sailor’s prayer book," a seaman said bitterly as he'kkked a bolyatfoe out of the way. "Why is It called that? Well, in the first place, it is called that because In using It. in holystoning the deck, tbe sailor has to kneel down, and. in the second [dace, because all holystoning is done on Sunday. Don’t you know the chantey— "Six da vs shall thou work and do all that thou art able And on the seventh holystone the decks and scrape the cable. "Tlie stone Is called holystone because tbe first holystones were bits of tombs stolen from cemeteries. It’s got a pious, religious sound—holy and prayer book and Sunday and all that— but It is when he is using this stone that the seaman is most p^ofane. , '-- key Orleans Times-Democrat. It Happened Before. A self made, self satisfied and self assertive Itinerant preacher was expatiating to a college graduate on bis ow n eloquence. "Colleges,” lie declared, “ain’t necessary when a preacher’s got a genuine call to the ministry. I’m thankful to say the Lord ojiencd my mouth without education.” That’s Interesting,” returned his hearer. "Come to think of It, something like Hint happened several thousand years ago in connection with Balaam, wasn’t it?” Circle Magazine.

I'lie Rig Four Railroad OttiriaK Jlefore the Election Prophesied Dire Results and Tough Times for Employes if Rryan Was Elected—On Thursday the Section Men Had Their
WAGES REDUCED 13c PER DAY
About two weeks before the recent election employes of the Big Four Railroad were warned by the officials of that line that they might expect less work and lower wages if Bryan was elected president, and they were also assured that these expectations would be realized in amazing strenuosify and in quick time after election results became known. These officials were careful to omit any mention of what would occur in the work and wages line if Taft should prove the winner, but the inference was that wages would be better and work more plentiful in tbe event of his election. Behold the result. On Thursday the section men employed on the Big Four syst-na were notified that a reduction of THIRTEEN CENTS PER DAY was to be made in their wages, this too at the beginning of winter, when living expenses are necessarily increased, and when, also, much higher prices are demanded for nearly all the necessaries of life than was the cost of the same articles twelve months ago.

Absurd Stage Business. Theatrical produ< ticn is full of absurdities in busim*--*. A situation is required, a situate u is thrown in. It makes not tbe sligl. e.-t difference if it be a trolley car crew of song and dance j brothers manning a yacht in the desert' of Sahara. You have the trolley crew and the yacht, and if Hie scene happens to l>e a section of the arid west where typhooi - take the place of wa terspouts—well, so much the worse fof the scene And if the conductors col leot fares from the sailors to carry out the business of tlie song. “We Arc Jol ly.

Then is also a machine by which needles an counted and placed In tlie papers in which they tire sold, those being after ward folded by the same contrivance. It Was All Within.
