JUDGE'S FAVORITES. ADELAIDE THURSTON. If all the roses that you glean, In basketfuls from scene to scene, Could be set out in one great row, They'd stretch from here to Jericho ; And each would stand for each glad town That decks you with fame’s golden crown. And if you'd know these towns, ah, me! Read through the U. S. geogra-phee. STRANGE RUN OF NUMBERS. #4QPD how one particular number will seem to be connected with the fate of some particular person, is it not?" asked the man with the incandescent whiskers of the man with the underdone nose. * Yes,” answered the man with the underdone nose. “Now, there was Finley Marigger, down our way. He was born on the sixth day of the month, grew to be six feet tall, had six chil- dren, and died on the sixth day of the week, worth six million dollars.” « Rather strange,” said the man with the incandescent whiskers; “but it isn’t a cir- cumstance compared to Tenny- son Ten Eycke, a fellow I used to know. He was born on the tenth day of the tenth month, in the tenth year after his parents were married. He was always a tender-hearted boy, and at ten years of age he lost ten fingers and toes altogether by trying to save ten kittens that had been thrown in front of a train of ten cars on the tenth siding in the railway yards at ten-ten a.m, Ten years later he was married to Tennie Ten-_ dall, whose father owned ten business blocks, each ten stories high, They were divorced in ten weeks, and he married a girl named Tenwick, who lived ten miles from Teneriffe. They got room ten at a hotel on their bridal-tour, which began on the tenth day of the month, and the hotel collapsed at ten o'clock at night, and ten hours later they dug them out, and she was dead, He mourned her for ten days only, and was then married to a widow woman by the name of Tengerrow. She eloped with a man named Ten- nally ten minutes after they were married.

He died ten years ago, hav- ing been shot ten times by a man who disputed a debt of ten dollars and ten cents.” The man with the under- done nose cast a glance of sus- picion at the man with the in- candescent whiskers, “And,” he mused, I sup- pose they buried Ten Eycke in a grave ten feet deep and ten miles from nowhere, and the tender tendrils of ten of the tenderest vines are tentatively twining over his ten-year-old tomb.” Then the man with the in- candescent whiskers ordered some ten-cent cigars, and they smoked for ten minutes. COMPLETE REPARATION. «6 UT your Harry broke my window, I tell you!" Mrs. Bellingham persisted. «No, Mrs. Bellingham ; he didn’t,” declared Mrs. Gid- dings. “He not only told me that he didn't do it, but he promised never to do it again.” Madge—"" The men have changed about giving up their seats in the cars.” Marjorie— Perhaps it is you that has changed.” ae comicbooks.com
