CLARK STREET, CHICAGO, ILL Stories With Smiles Satisfaction, Not Sympathy—There is no love lost between the Scotch and Irish. This lack of sympathy was illustrated aptly by Duncan Marshall, the minister of agriculture from Edmonton, Cap. ada, during his recent visit to Chicago. An Irishman had been through the Crimean War and had re. turned to the ould sod in a rather mutilated condition. One leg had been cut off, an arm had been taken away by a charge of grapeshot, and he had lost an ear, his nose and one eye. On his return home some of his friends took compassion on him and obtained for him a stand near one of the public monuments, where he could beg for alms. One day a Scotchman came along and dropped a half crown into the mendicant’s hat. He passed along, but after a few steps he turned, and to the great astonishment of the unfortunate, placed a sovereign in the hat. “And is it my pitiable condition,”’ asked the mendicant, ‘‘that moves you to such generosity?” “It is not,’’ was the Scotchman’s reply; ‘‘but you’re the first Irishman I've ever seen who's been trimmed to my satisfaction.”"— Chicago Inter-Ocean, Mrs. Snimpf's Vote—‘‘You see, it’s this way,”’ explained the tall woman who had rung Mrs. Pegasus Snimpf’s doorbell. “If every woman in the city signs this pledge, declaring that she wants ,’’ interrupted Mrs. Snimpf, ‘I’ve got a vote.’” “‘What!’’ exclaimed the tall woman. ‘*You don’t mean to say you disguise yourself as a man on election day?”’ “Not at all,’’ assured Mrs. Snimpf. “Then would you mind signing this paper? I promise you that if you sign this paper you'll have a vote within a year.’’ “But,” persisted Mrs. Snimpf, ‘‘I’ve got a vote.’’ “T don’t understand,’’ said the tall woman coldly. ‘Well, wait here for five minutes and you'll understand. Here he is now.’” Mr. Pegasus Snimpf, measuring five feet two inches in both stocking feet, was ascending the front steps. “Peggie,’’ said his wife sternly, ‘‘you’re two minutes late! Go in and help the cook with the supper. “*Yes’m,’’ said Pegasus Snimpf meekly and disappeared in the house. “You see, I've got a vote,’’ said Mrs. Snimpf. “You bet you have!’ said the tall woman admiringly. ‘* Well, I'll try next door.’’—Detroit Free Press. She Was Supplied— While traveling through the rural districts of Missouri, a book salesman approached a farmer and stood for sev- eral minutes importuning him to buy the book he was selling. Pres- ently the farmer blinked his eyes and said, ‘‘No, it ain’t no use. I can’t read.”’ The salesman paused a moment and then said, ‘‘But you must have some one in your home that can read. Your wife, your chil- dren—I know they would be interested.”” “Yes, my daughter can read,’’ replied the Missourian; ‘‘but she’s got a book.’’—Lippincott’s Magazine. Perfectly Satisfied—A large, slouchy, colored man went shuffling down the road, whistling like a lark. His clothes were ragged and his shoes were out at toes and heels, and he appeared to be in the depths of poverty for all his mirth. As he passed a prosperous-looking house, a man stepped from the doorway and hailed him. “Hey, Jim! I got a job for you. Do you want to make a quarter?” “‘No, sah,’’ said the ragged one. ‘‘I done got a quarter."’— Everybody's Magazine. Heartless Girls—Representative Underwood said of the worldli- ness of the modern girl: “T have just heard of an episode illustrating the modern girl’s worldliness. “A young man said to a very beautiful girl, “«*Miss Winchester—Muriel—I am not rich, but’— “With a slight gesture of her white hand the girl silenced him. “««That, will do, Mr. Hazelmere,’ she said. ‘No.’ ’’—Washing- ton Star. “That fellow certainly is a dub."’ “For why ?”” “I told him I bossed my wife and he went and told her."’— Louisville Courier Journal.
