HALF TRUE TALES OF THE STREET AND TOWN

A Preacher’s Story. A man once said to me: “Say, Mr. Preacher, the church is getting my assessment too'high.” “How much do you pay a year?” “Five dollars,” was the reply. “Well,” said the preacher, “how long have you been converted?” “About four years,” was the answer. “What did you pay the church before you were converted?” I was a drunkard.” “How much did you spend for drink?” “About three hundred dollars a year.” “How much were you worth?” “I hadn’t anything but a dog.” “What have you got now?” “I have forty acres of my own, four good horses, and rent 80 acres more of Mr. Jones.” “Well,” said the preacher, “look here for a minute. You paid the devil S3OO a year for the privilege of owning a dog, and now you don’t want to give the Lord, who saved you, so much as five dollars a year for the privilege of running four horses on a 120 acre farm.” [i ' Why She Shat Down. “A charming gentleman, about four years old, used to pass my house every day on his way to the kindergarten,” said a lady, “and in course of time I made his acquaintance and gave a penny to him each morning when we parted. “Eventually his mother requested me not to give any more money to him. The next morning I did not present the usual penny. He did not seem to notice the omission. The succeeding day, he said nothing. But on the morning of the third day, when the penny was not forthcoming, he sidled up to me and whispered; ‘What’s the matter? Ain’t your husband working?’ ” Why Did He Kick, Then? men were seated in a local a dish in front of them were looking pieces of porterkrs.'it', lolm lus “No, George, you take your choice.” “All right, I will,” said George, lifting the larger piece to his dish. “A gentleman,” said John, witheringly, “would have taken the smaller piece.” “Which ( one would you have taken?” asked George. “The "smallest, of course,” replied John. “Well, then, what are you kicking about?” was George’s reminder. In the Wrong Place. A one legged Welsh orator named Jones was pretty successful in bantering an Irishman, when the latter asked him: “How did you come to lose your leg?” “Well,” said Jones, “on examining my pedigree and looking up my descent I found there was some Irish blood in me, and, becoming convinced that it was settled in the left leg, I had it cut off at once.” “By the powers,” said Pat, “it wrould have been a very good thing if it had only settled in your head!”

Just Hash. A. W. Green, the president of the National Biscuit Co..said in the course of one of his recent humorous and suggestive addresses: “Use, therefore, good, fresh material. All the fancy trimmings, !aee paper and high art boxing in the world won’t atone for stale or dam T aged stock. It is like the case of Mrs. Matthews. “Mrs. Matthews bought a French cook book. The book told her, among other things, how to make ragouts and farcies and navarins out of left-over steak, the end of roasts, cold vegetables, and so forth. This was delightful. Hash, which Mr. Matthews hated, would be banished, and yet, as before nothing would be banished, and yet, as before, nothing would be wasted In the Matthews home. *if “So one evening she set her hungry tired husband down to a paper-frilled navarin and ’Escoffer. , The dish looked grand from the outside, and the man's wan sacs lit up at sight of it, but as soon as he lifted the lid the joy faded from his eyes. “‘Ask the blessing, please, George’ his wife reminded him. i ‘“I think, dear,’ George answered, wearily, ’we’ve blessed everything here before.*"

Interesting Notes From St. Joseph’s College. During this week St. Joseph’s College will begin its 19th scholatsic ‘year. Conditions at the "opening are somewhat inconvenient owing to the fact that the contractors have not been able to complete the> new buildings. It will, however, be only a few more days till the sisters’ house and the commodious dining rooms in the basement of the church will be ready for use. This will help matters very much and the students’ home here will then be more pleasant and far less crowded. There is as yet no need of hazzarding a guess as to the time* when the keys of the church will be delivered. Judging from the reports and applications the attendance at St. Joseph’s’this year will be beyond all expectations. There is no doubt that by the time the last student arrives the enrollment will reach 250, an increase of about 50 over last year’s list. The faculty will remain nearly the same as that of last year. The Rev. A. Schuette, C. PP. S., will fill the place of the Rev. J. W. Gormley, and the music department WHI be under the direction of Prof. A. Steger. The prospects for the coming year are, indeed, very bright. All the improvements, the increased attendance, and the old teaching force on duty are certain proof to the authorities that St. Joseph is embarking upon the most successful term of its useful career.

Sergeant Gangloff High Man In Company M Rifle Match.

Sergeant John B. Gangloff, of Company M, was the high man in the three days’ rifle practice that was concluded at the Parr range Sunday evening. By agreement before the match was completed the eight high men are to repeat the course, the winner taking the medal sent out by the state rifle association. The scores of the eight highest men are: Sergeant Gangloff 278; Sergeant Garland 261; Lieutenant Woodworth 255; Captain Healey 247; Private Harrison Timmons 231; Private Don Warren 218; Private William C. Steel 215; Private Grover Wood 191. Twenty-eight men in the company shot all or part of the course and the improved marksmanship was very gratifying. Last year the company had but one sharpshooter and six marksmen, while this year there will he at least three experts, six or eight sharpshooters and from ten to twenty mar&smen. The camp was a very enjoyable one, and the fried chicken Sunday dinner was enjoyed by the forty who portook of it. The picked team from the company that played the Parr ball team, ended up second best, getting the short end of a 14 to 8 score, in a very laughable contest. The Parr people treated the soldiers nicely, and showed them many courtesies that will be long remembered.

Yeomans Reune to the Number Of One Hundred and Twenty.

The grove at the home of Joseph Yeoman was the scene Sunday of a large crowd of Yeomans and their" friends, the occasion being the reunion of the people of that name, and including their relatives by marriage and a few outsiders. One hundred and twenty sat down to a picnic dinner at the noon hotir and the day was a very enjoyable one. Mr. Yeoman was 83 years old on Sept. 2d, and his wife jwill be 82 in December, and while they are not planning on many more reunions they were both able to enjoy this one to the fullest extent. Among the guests from out of the county were Chas. Yeoman, of Newcastle, Wyo., Mr. Gordon and wife, of Okla., and J. J. and R. M. Moore, brothers of Mrs. Joseph Yeoman, of Trafalgar, Ind., who have been visiting her.

Wilt thou take her for thy “pard,” for better or for worse; to have, to fondly guard, till habled off in the hearse? Wilt thou let her have her way, consult her many wishes, make the fires up every day, and help her with the dishes? Wilt thou give her all the “stuff" her little purse will pack, buy her a monkey boa and muff, a little seal skin sgcque? Wilt thou comfort and support her father, mother, Aunt Jemima, Uncle John, thirteen sisters and a brother? And his face .grew pale and blank, It was too late/to jilt; as thru the chapel floor he he sadly said, “I wilt.” The Republican is headquarters for One Job printing.

A Pittsburg casting company has turned out the world’s largest cast steel wheels, being 13 feet 3 inches in diameter and weighing 8,700 pounds. When they were loaded on a flat car of the Panhandle road officers refused to send it through the Sheridan tunnel, consequently it will be shipped by river.

The examination of a dog’s head at the pathological laboratory of the state board of health Thursday showed the animal to have had a well-de-veloped case of rabies. The head was sent by Dr. F. A.

Mr. Kumsey—Ah! dear heart, 1 would go round the world for your sake. Miss Caustlque—Half way round would do.

It looks like Oxford would he here to play ball a week from next Sunday. They have written for a game and arrangements will probably be made. Rensselaer should try to see how well they can treat them, forgetting the unpleasantness of a few weeks ago and turning loose a brand of hospitality that will make Oxford glad to make up and be friendly. Beat ’em at baseball, but don’t get angry and if they can skin us, let’s take it like Lipton losers. This game should fill the ball park, and nothing looks worse from the spectators standpoint than wrangling. Let the umpire run the game and swallow whatever he dishes up.
