Do Not Mind the Lunatics. 



I have just returned from Rockport, 

 Indiana, where an interesting trial was 

 in progress. A young man had killed 

 an old man who disliked whistling. 

 The old man had moved from Kansas 

 because the people there whistled 

 whenever he appeared in the street. 

 In his new home he struck the young 

 man for whistling. The young man re- 

 taliated by killing the assailant with a 

 blow from a rifle breach. 



Many anecdotes were current rela- 

 tive to the old man's idiosyncracies. 

 ( )nly a few weeks before his death he 

 was riding on the traction railroad. In 

 the same train an attendant was taking 

 a young woman to a sanitarium. Her 

 mania, due to cerebral overstrain, was 

 the hugging and kissing of men. 



At a small station a fine looking 

 drummer entered. He was no sooner 

 seated than this young woman, elud- 

 ing her attendant's grasp, ran to him, 

 sat in his lap, clasped her arms around 

 his neck, and kissed him. In this she 

 was as innocent as the little child that 

 kisses her father. The astonished man 

 fled to the smoking car, and com- 

 plained to the conductor. The matter 

 was explained, but after he had lighted 

 a cigar to soothe his shattered nerves, 

 he began to whistle softly to prove that 

 he was not perturbed. The dissentious 

 old man just across the aisle, at the 

 sound of the first few notes, seized the 

 unsuspecting traveler, dragged him 

 out of the seat and violently shook him, 

 shouting in the vilest language that 

 whistling was forbidden in his pres- 

 ence. Another explanation from the 

 conductor and a laugh from the pas- 

 sengers followed, but the drummer de- 

 clined to hazard a third experience. At 

 the next station he telegraphed to his 

 firm, "Cancel assignment to this terri- 

 tory. Nobody here but lunatics." 



"ASA' FOR BOOK 4S ' 



He Expressed the Idea. 



A teacher said to the class, 'The 

 newspapers have recently been saying 

 that the war will not be settled but 

 will be fought to the bitter end. Who 

 will go to the blackboard and give us 

 another sentence containing that ex- 

 pression, 'bitter end?'' 



A boy promtply volunteered and 

 wrote another war-like expression ! 



"The dog chased the cat and when 

 he £Jfot Iter he bit 'er end."
