ANiiAALS IN FAWN.
Tam or Wild, They Are Good For a
Loan In innt stw Yoik onop.
Among ino curious luuusliius or
sources of Uveiilioou ru .New iors city
is au uumidi puwusuop. As you lake
a wulch to uu ordiuury puwusuop tu
ruise uiouey ou it, so you may tuke u
watchdog to the auimul pawnshop.
Keceuily a man did this, getting $20
on a dog that wus easily worth $50,
the pawnbroker said. But he was a
trick dog which hud been taught to
open doors. So in due time he opened
a door and let himself out while let
ting the pawnbroker in.
A well known animal trainer owns
the shop. He takes camels, lionC ele
phants—any animals. There are no
charges for interest on the loan, the
only charge being for the keep of the
animals, among which at almost any
time are dogs, monkeys, bears, goats,
cats, coons, foxes, parrots, canaries.
At one time he had forty trick don
keys in pawn. The profits arising from
charges for feed and care are enough
to make the institution pay.
Once he had a lion in pawn which
broke his chain in the stable and went
roaring around, scared almost to death,
and it was only after heroic efforts
that they mustered courage to capture
him. As a matter of fact the animal
was a decrepit beast that had served
his time in sideshows and was anxious
to get away.—Exchange.
A CLEW TO HER PAST.
Sho Knew Entirely Too Much, Ae ■
Close Observer Discovered.
She looked rich and acted rich, and
every one knew that she was rich be
cause she had married a rich man, yet
the Sherlock Holmes of the tea party
discovered that she had once been poor.
“Take It from me," she said, “that
there was a time, und that not so very
long ago, when she was as poor us the
rest of us."
"Marvelous!" exclaimed the other
four girls. “How did you discover
thut?”
“Through her knowing so absolutely
where I keep all ray housekeeping
things. She knew that the tea caddy
was in the writing desk, that the
cheese, biscuits and other edibles be
loved by mice were In that tin box un
der the sofa, that the alcohol for my
stove was In the corner behind the
washstand. that the butter and milk
were on the window ledge and that
the eggs and other raw foods were in a
box on the bottom shelf of the ward
robe.
“When we were cooking she went
straight to the spot and got every one
of those things without once asking
where they were, which Is something
that a person who had not had a wide
experience of housekeeping in one room
could never have done.”—New York
Times.
An Ingenious Device.
When Sir Robert Perks' school days
were over he entered the office of a
firm of lawyers and worked very hard.
It was no uncommon thing to And him
reading law at 5 in the morning, and
this often after he had been working
late on the previous night. As a mat
ter of fact, he made it an inflexible
rule never to be in bed of a morning
after 5. To enforce this rule he in
vented an ingenious device. This con
sisted of a long glass tube filled with
water nicely balanced over his head
and attached by a string to an alarm
At the desired hour the bell rang and
awakened the sleeper. If within a few
seconds he did not leap from his bed
and avert the calamity the descending
weight of the clock destroyed the bal
ance of the tube, and down poured the
water on his guilty head!—From “The
Life Story of Sir Robert W. Perks."
How Italian Soldiers Behave.
The Italian soldier gets a very high
character from Richard Bugot in his
“Italians of Today." “To see an Ital
ian soldier drunk or in any wn.v mis
conducting himself in a public place is
exceedingly rare—so rare indeed that
it would create a very disagreeable im
pression on tile witnesses. Indeed, the
men of any one of the more important
Italian regiments who misconducted
themselves in a public place would, in
addition to the severe punishment ad
ministered by the regimental authori
ties, undergo a very bad time of it at
the hands of their own comrades.”—
London Globe.
Her Idea.
“Ma, your bank account is over
drawn.”
“What does that mean, pa?”
“Simply this. You’ve written checks
for $13 more money than was in the
bank.”
“The idea! If $13 will break the bank
I’d And another one to do business
with. 1 supposed they had thousands
of dollars on hand all the time.”—De
troit Free Press.
Outlawed.
“How about paying me for that suit
I made for you two years ago?” asked
the tailor. '
“You surely c.an’t expect me to pay
for that suit.” said the impecunious
young man. “Why, it’s all out of
style.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Somewhere Around.
“I never see her with her husband.
Has she lost him?”
“I don’t know. Some people seem
to think she has merely misplaced
him.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Worked the Wrong Way.
“How did tl|e accident happen?”
“He got run over when he stopped to
read a ‘Safety First’ sign.”—Houston
Post.

When It Storms in Texas.
The hurricane came in the night
and on our left and on our right,
chimneys were sent through roofs,
and high, up-rooted trees went scur
rying by; our chicken stepped out
doors to see what all of the strange
noises could be, and ere she’s made
her second track, her feather were
blown off her back! And the wind
caught our poodle up, and right now
a Chihuahua pup has a lot more
hair than what our little pobdle dog
has got. The wind picked up our
high board fence and we’ve not seen
a splinter since. It took our shade
tree bough by bough and it ran down
and milked a cow, and tore down
electric wires and it blew up a set
of tires, and blew the whiskers off our
face, and left the mortgage on our
place. We can be thankful, always,
some. We’re thankful that our
house is plumb.—Houston Post.
