The other morning a citizen called at a hard- ware store on Woodward Avenue and said he wanted a key to a certain door in his house, and he took up and carried away almost the first key handed out to-him. On his way down town after dinner he stopped and exchanged the key for another, explaining that the first wouldn't fit. ‘These changes took place twice a day for the next four days, the citizen being unable to get hold of a key to fit. On the sixth day he drove up to the store with a door on a dray, and calling to the pruprietor, he said: “Bring your box of keys out here and we'll get a fit to that lock. Here I have bees run- ning back and forth for about a week, and I | might not have got a fit for a whole month if my wife had not suggested that I bring the door down here. Some of these women are mighty smart.” ‘ But why didn’t you take the lock off and bring it down in your pocket?” asked the dealer, ‘The buyer looked at him in a vacant way, stared hard at the door, and sat down on the curbstone with the remark: ‘‘ It’s a wonder that the whole family wasn’t sent to the fool-house ten years ago.” A Newspaper reporter who died recently left a large sum of money behind him. In fact, he left all the money there was in the world.— Brooklyn Eagle. Tuere have been four highway robberies in the Yosemite this summer, and the hotel- keepers up there are very bitter about it, They say any more competition will drive them right out of business.—S. F. Evoning Post. “Wuat is Home without a mother?” Well, we never heard this position clearly defined, but if the old men were to pass in his checks too, we should say Home was an orphan. This joke is an off-un also.— Baltimore Every Satur- day. Ir always makes a man almost crazy with rage to wash himself in the morning and then discover the room to be destitute of a towel, and_be obliged to dry his face on a newspaper or the inside of his overcoat.—. Y. Comm, Advertiser, |which washes its face only.] “I pRoTEsT against my sentence,” remarked a soletnn-visaged prisoner at the court house the other day toa constable who had him in charge. He had just been sentenced toa term in state's prison.“ And why ?” asked his custo- dian, “Because,” said the, prisoner, “I have served two terms in that prison, and I do not favor a third term on the principle.""— Newark Sunday Call. “Yes, gentlemen,” said a seedy-looking customer with a long beard, who had rung in on a party of tourists in the Baldwin barroom, the other evening, ‘1 was the first white American who ever set foot on the site of San Francisco, Many’s the night I’ve roasted bear- steak for supper and slept with the sand for a blanket right where this hotel now stands. 1 owned the entire country clear down to San José, and I traded the whole business one day for ten pounds of tobacco.” “Five pounds!” put in the barkeeper, sternly. “T guess I know how many pounds,” said the oldest inhabitant, somewhat abashed. “You said five pounds last night,” retorted the barkeeper, “and I’ve told you more'n fifty times that if you intend to work the pioneer racket ia this here bar you must stick to the same story. If you don’t I'll let Joe Barker work the house instead; you hear me?” And the relic of the good old Argonautic days drifted sadly off to the lunch counter.— S.F. Evening Post.
