A young man once returned from college with long hair, a sweater that had eleven distinct colors In Its fabric, a good opinion of himself, and a college col-lege yell that was terrifying. His father fath-er sized him up and then complained bitterly. His complaints were more bitter when he heard the college yell. "And I paid "ood money to have him acquire those clothes and that foghorn voice and exuberant throat development," develop-ment," he groaned. "You don't care for the yell?" asked the young man. "I do not," replied the father. "It is as valueless as the squeal of a pig, and that is the one part of the animal which is lost when he is butchered." A few weeks later, while on a trip to a new country, the father and son were attacked by a band of marauding ruffians. The young man opened his mouth, threw the reverse lever away over in the corner, and en.1 t d his c 1-lege 1-lege yell, which was substantially as follows: "Br r! Woof, woofwoof-woof! woofwoof-woof! Zip, zip, zlp:pityap! Oompah, oompah! Gurgoo, gurgoc! Wottell, wottell! Wheeeeee!" The members of the marauding band, amazed at the sound and unable to understand it, turned and fled.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Many a man's head is full of emptiness. empti-ness. Real estate In some localities is as heap as dirt. A little man thinks he aches as hard as a big man. It is a fact that no bore ever con?-' ers himself a bore. An old bachelor is a man who is too late for the fair. Bowing to circumstances is apt to be forced politeness. By adding another syllable to "short" it becomes shorter. A man seldom walks erect when straightened by circumstances. No man or woman on earth really believes that the good die young. Compliments are silly, but even sensible sen-sible people Inwardly enjoy them. Heat generates motion. If you don't believe it, pick up a red-hot poker. A woman's favorite doctor has a sympathetic eye and a tender voice. Man wants but little here below and he usually gets about half that much. The prompt payment of debts is the one virtue lacking in many a man's make-up. A good wife remembers a compliment compli-ment paid her husband as long as she lives. Did it ever occur to you that fully 98 per cent of the dolls offered for sale are girls? Some people's idea of economy is to deprive themselves of things they don't want.
