Agencies in all the principal cities in the world, Suicide with Comfort “De YOU know the only Irishman who ever committed suicide?” asked W. P. Pollard, of a Louisville Courier-Journal man. “You know it is said that Irishmen never commit suicide, and when the argument was advanced in a crowd of that nationality he was so unstrung that he de- cided to show his opponents that Irishmen do sometimes commit a rash act. He accordingly disappeared, and the man who employed him started a search. When he got to the bam he looked up toward the rafters and saw his man hanging with a rope around his waist. “What are you up to, Pat?’ he asked. “Oi’m hanging meself, begobs!’ the Irishman replied. “Why don’t you put it around your neck ?’ “Faith, Oi did, but Oi couldn’t breathe,’ was the unsmiling reply of the man from the Emerald Isle.”—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. A Gallant Compliment GaAttic gallantry could no further go than the compliment Sarah Bernhardt, safe in Paris, recalls of the Western dry goods clerk who said to her, ‘Madame, I learned French only to hear you, and it was worth it.’—New York World. Foolish Ways of Men VER watched a man as he takes a chair? He'll move it—every time—even if it’s only an inch. He wouldn’t sit in it just where it was for the world. Watch him next time and see if he doesn’t move it. A woman will seat herself with- out touching the chair—a woman is more philo- sophical, anyhow. Men are queer creatures, as every one knows, comments a writer in the Philadelphia Press. A man will always stir his coffee before drinking it. This is very foolish—he should taste it first to sce if it needs stirring. Few men open their personal correspondence without looking at the postmarks to see the time of posting. Women, on the other hand, tear open the envelope at once; they are in too much of 2 hurry to waste any time. When a man puts on his hat he almost always looks inside it first. What he expects to sce remains a mystery, but he looks for it all the same. He subjects the point of his pen to the same careful scrutiny before commencing to write 2 letter. A woman starts right off—jabs her pen in the inkpot and straightway begins to scribble as if her life depended on it. It is the man who reads with his back to the light, holding his book in one hand. Herein lies wisdom. A woman rests her book on the table and leans both elbows thereon. But the foolish || ness of the man’s act lies in the fact that he is seek ing comfort and seldom takes this position because it is the most scientific one. Of cours, he finds it isn’t comfortable—his arm aches after || the first ten minutes, whereupon he puts his book down and remarks he is going out It is the man who lets out secrets—not by tell ing them, but by ill-timed silence. He does |] worse—by refusing to gratify the curiosity of his questioners he invariably causes them to jump to conclusions much more damaging than the truth of the matter.—Detroit Free Press. \ Alford, petty 0 ant ha¢ adayt end of jury bo aay juror,’ “An ments | the atl address jury,’ feeling comme and int that lor out to with h when t! arrived went 0 mony guilty, other v agree 1 “An cisco C Wi |! with n “My French “Ye them | Scrap comicbooks.com
