A LA CAKTK
The commercial traveler entered the small
restaurant and chose his seat with the discrim-
ination of the careful diner. Then he looked at
'he menu.
"Waiter!" he called. "Bring me some fly-
spctks." "Sir!" said the waiter angrily.
"Haven't you got any llyspecks?" asked the
man.
"Xo sir" returned the waiter still more
haughtily.
"Then" remarked the traveler "why don't
you take them off the bill of fare?"

A CLEAN SWLLTKK
Frank A. Munsry who has now added the
New York Sun and Herald to his long string
of publications is a very critical employer and
many a clean sweep occurs in his various of-
fices. It is said that a visitor called at one of Mun-
sey's offices and asked the office boy if Scribbs
the reporter was in.
"I dunno" said the boy. "I ain't seen today's
reixntcrs yet."
OUTBID
"If you can supply me with two rooms I'll
give you f 10 a week."
"You're too late; a gentlman's promised to
marry me for them two rooms."
Fnys Sir Perkins. "The troubles thaf trouble
us the most are the troubles that never happen.
HUB FAREWELL REQUEST
Sobs shook his manly frame as the rejected
suitor faced the lady who had spumed him.
"Good-byl"
The word broke from him like a gasp of an-
guish. Th lady shivered as she heard its mes-
sage of ndserv.
"Gond-bv I" he said again. "I must never see
vou ap air..' Angela my darling. But. though
riot for me is the priceless gift of your love
yet remember 1 shall always be your slave. If
ever vou want me. a whispered word sill bring
me from the ends of the earth. As a final favor
give me some httle service to perlorm ere I
start for Patagonia tomorrow."
The lady wiped the tears of pity lioni her
starry orbs as she replied:
"I am sorry to have caused you ail tins un-
happiness. Mr. Smith but since you are so kind
r.s to offer me your services would you mmd

NEVER TIUH (MIT OF THAT
The sijuire's silver v.edding whs approaching
and the tenants were discussing the question of
subscribing to buy him a present.
"Oi propose" said Mr. 0' Flaherty "that we
given him a solid silver taypot."
"Shure ve're joking." interrupted his wife.
"If it's solid how are they going to make tay

POSSIBLE EXPLANATION
"How's the 'hot dog' business?"
"Not what it used to be" answered the man
wearing a white apron.
"I don't see why." (
"I don't see why myself unless its because
no matter how many soft drinks a man con-
sumes in the course of a day. k doesn't make
him careless about what he eats."
AN ANIMATED TAPE LINE
"Golly but I'se tired!" exclaimed a tall and
thin negro meeting a short and stout fn-
"What youse been doin' to get tired . de-
manded the either.
"Well" explained the thin one. drawing a
deep breath "over at Brudder Smith's dey is
measurin' de house for some new carpets. Pey
nmt rot no yardstick and l'se just exactly six
feet tall So to 'bligc Brudder Smith I se been
a-layin' down and n-gettin' up all ober de
house."
WHERE THE FAULT LAY
As the Irish police recruit strolled along on
his first turn of night duty loud yells ot "I ire .
rent the air. He bolted quickly to the spot ami
found a house well alight with a man half
hanging out of an upstairs window.
'Help! Help!" he yelled. "If I jump will you
a "Sure. 'an' Oi will!" replied the policeman
U So the man jumped only to crash to the
ground and lie there stunned. When a fen-
minutes later he rerovered consciousness he-
looked up at the policeman reproachfully and
murmurrrd feebly:
"I thought vou said you could catch me .
"Bccorrah!" replied the Irishman. "Oi was
only waiting for yez to bounce an Oi d have
had yez!"
THE NOISY GUEST
William Jennings Bryan said at his brothers
house in Lincoln:
"It is splendid to see the good order that now
prevails at political banquets. There was con-
siderable drunkenness at these banquets in the
"At a political banquet one evening the chair-
man said to a rather noisy guest:
" 'Excuse me sir but may I ask your name?
"'Morgan's me hie name' the guest an-
8V"rmean your full name' said the chairman.
JiThe guest hiccupped again.
How's this waiter? You've charged me
two dollars and a half for planked steak!"
"Sorry sir; but lumber's gone up again."
THE HISIIOP'S 1) M
Condemning the League of Nations deadlock
William Howard Taft said to a reporter:
"We ought to get round this deadlock. Every-
thing can be got round you know. Why "
Mr. Taft chuckled.
"One day" he went one "I was playing golf
at Chevy Chase with Bishop Steenthly. The
old bishop was in dreadfully bud form and ev-
ery time he made a fluke he'd mutter 'Ciatun!'
in a savage undertone.
" 'Bishop' I said at length 'what is this word
'Catun that you repeat whenever anything goes
wrong?'
"'(Jatun?' he snarled. 'Why that's the Ga-
tun Pam of course the Gatun Dam of the
Panama Canal 80(i0 feet long 2oou feet wide
and 1." feet deep. I guess that's about the
biggest dam there is son.' "
AS OTHERS HEAR US
Mary was asked upon her return home how
she liked the singing of the congregation in
the church.
"I liked it very much" she said "but all the
people thought it was bad."
"All the people thought it was bad? What do
you mean my dear?"
"Why they thought it was so bad that I
heard all the people praying 'Lord have mercy
on us miserable singers.' "
LOSING HIS AIM
Pobbs who was a drummer in the village
band was inclined to stoutness.
For years he was the most popular figure in
the band then his drumming began to fall off.
At la.st. one day the end came. With tears
in his eyes Pobbs approached the conductor.
"It's no use" he groaned. "You'll have to
sack me! I've known all along why my drum-
ming went off and there's no use keeping the
truth back. Fact is" and here the poor man
broke down completely "I've got so stout that
I can't hit the drum in the middle any more."
PARLOUS TIMES
Highbrows discuss Bacon and Shakespeare
while Lowbrows discuss bacon and eggs.
ROMANTICALLY EXPRESSED
After the "personally conducted" tour abroad
a band of English travelers were crossing the
Channel home. It was very rough and most of
the ladies retired to the cabin. Only one an
elderly little spinster stayed on deck.
As the vessel pitched and tossed and heavy
showers of spray drenched everything a fellow-tourist
came to her.
"Excuse me. Miss Black "but I thought per-
haps you feel the need of a strong arm to lean
on something to support you you know."
"Oh. Mr. Rinks!" sighed the lady as she
lurched toward him and landed her head on his
shoulder. "How sweetly and romantically you
have expressed it!"

The world over the Republic is
the fastest selling motor truck.

elsewhere doing the hardest

MISFORTUNE TEACHES
"We learn from our misfortunes. We are
er should be like Mr. Rings.
"'I busted my thumb with a hammer yes-
day.' said Mr. Rings.
" 'What a misfortune! said his friend Bangs.
"'Misfortune? Nothing of the kind.' And
Mr. Bings smiled bravely. 'That accident is
one of the best thir.ps that ever happened to
me. It has taught me. you see to appreciate
my thumb. I never knew before how valuable
it was. Why sir I have already found out
that there are 376 things for which I use my
thumb every day without giving it a single
grateful thought. Here open this knife for me.
Thanks. That's makes 377.'"

DUCK CREEK POLITICS
"Once upon a time a congressman who had
promised to vote for six new battleships went
back on his promise. Questioned about this he
said :
" 'Gents I owe my election to Jedge Brown
of Duck Creek Jedge Brown's money put me
here and it was on the j edge's advice that I
guv that battleship pledge.'
"'Well then why didn't you keep it?' an-
other congressman asked.
" 'On account of the jedge again' said the
pledge breaker. 'When I guv that pledge the
jedge had property on Duck Creek and needed
the protection of a powerful navy. Wall gents
read this here letter what I recently received
from the old boy.'
"The letter thrown upon the table said:
" 'Friend Bill As I have moved my hen-
roost half a mile back from Duck Creek there
is no longer any call for a powerful navy; vote
agin it. "

SPEAKING OF NERVE
"Mr. Brokesley" said the grocer to the non-
paying customer who was planning to move
secretly from the locality. "I don't believe you
will ever pay me what you owe me. It isn't
worth while to sue you for it and you have
nothing I care to attach. I will simply give
you a receipt and call it paid."
"That's kind of you!" said Brokesley.
A few moments later seeing Brokesley still
lingered about the shopkeeper said:
"Was there something you wished to speak
to fne about?"
"Not specially but isn't it customary in this
store to give a man a cigar when his account's
settled?"
