Hank Monk crack- ed his whip and started on! at an aw- ful pace.

But Hank Monk said, “Keep your seat, Horace, and I’ll get you there on time!” And he did, tooâ€"what was left or him.’ “Now, that was all there was to the story. It was bad enough to begin with, but I made it worse in the tellâ€" ing. I droned it out in a flat, monoto- nous tone, without a gesture to mar its depressing effect. The people received it in dead silence. I had insulted every man in the audienceâ€"I had ‘graveled’r them with a story that was not only stale and pointless, but one which they had heard at least a thousand times. I waited a few seconds for the laugh- ter, and then I began to hem and haw and shift my feet. I tried to appear just as embarrassed as I could, and after floundering about helplessly for a few sentences I cheered up a little and said that I would tell a funny anec- dote which might be new to them. It began : “ ‘FTm-nm arpplnv wont H11: (11")? i No Disordered Kidneys l The Manor Hotel. situated direct- i 3 ly opposite the GP R Hotel and i very 'close to the C.

McKENTY, Proprietor Fig Pills Pipes and Germs. Sticklers for hygiene will be pleased to hear of the latest dictum of medical associations in eastern cities as to the germ susceptibility of a smoker’s pipe. The “bit” of a pipe is every bit as much of a germ magnet as a moisten: ed cigar end or a cigarette. Doctors have warned smokers for years against using public cigar clippers and against laying down 'a partly smoked cigar or cigarette on the edge of a desk. table or window sill. Recently the ban has also been placed on pipes. “Don't lay a pipe down, either." says the medical highbrows. “particularly if it has a curved stem. A pipe will not stay ‘put,’ but will roll a little to readjust itsellI unless it is laid down with the greatest care. The saliva moistened blt could pick up a few odd million mi~ crobes just as easily as not.” And so it would seem that the only safe way to lay down a pipe“ except in a rack. is not to lay it down at nibâ€"Philadel- ‘That’s the point, young man.

I have been sitting here and wasting sympa- thy on you.’ “I felt so sure that I had discovered a new phase in human character that I tried the same‘thing in New York years afterward. There was an au- thors' reading bee one afternoon. and most of the authors read selections from their works. I sat on the plat- form beside James Russell Lowell. He asked me what I was going to read. I said that I wasn’t going to read anything. I intended to tell an anecdote. “ ‘Is it a funny one? he asked. “I said it would be if I lasted long enough. “I started out without any preamble, and I told the Hank Monk anecdote. Ebere was an awful silence at the end. I took a drink of water, mapped my forehead and told the story again. Same effect. Young man, I told that story five times before I landed ’em. :When I sat down at last Mr. Lowell whispered to me: “You see, I thought that if a man had sand enough to stand up before an audience and tell the oldest, stalest and most uninteresting story in the world he could make people laugh it he had the nerve to tell the story often enough.

I could see that several men in the house were growing quite indignant, They had paid money to hear a humorous lec- ture. I took a long breath and plunged in a third time, more embarrassed and flustered and worried than ever, and by and by I worked around again to the time when Horace Greeley went over Glennbrook grade to Placerville. “‘Homce Greeley went over the Glenn'brook grade to Placerville’â€" “ ‘Horace Greeley ‘once went over the Glennbrook grade to Placerville. .W hen he was leaving Carson City he told the driver, Hank Monk, that he Iivered. It occurred to me that I might begin that lecture with the worst story I had ever heard and by telling it often enough start the lec- ture with a big laugh. I took that story and memorized it so that it would not vary in the telling, and I made it just as pointless and just as dull and just as dry as I could. “When it came time for me to talk I stood up and with a few introduc- tory remarks began that story.
