Any statesman can bust up a trust, 
If the people insist that he must. 
But the worst of it Is

“Yes,” remarked Farmer Corntossel, 
“my boy Josh gets a good deal o’ fun out 
of automobiling.” “But he doesn’t own a 
machine.” “Of course not. He’s one o’ 
the county constables.”—Washington Star. 
• She: “What interested you most in 
your travels, Major?” Major: “Well, 
the mummy of a queen I saw in Egypt. 
It’s wonderful how they could make a 
woman dry up and stay that way.”—Pick- 
Me-Up. 
Invalid: “Is this a good place for the 
nerves ?” Proprietor of Health Resort: 
“Is it! Why, when I opened up here I 
only charged two dollars a day—now I’ve 
got the nerve to charge ten.”—Town 
Topics. 
“I hear your son,- Hank, wants to go to 
college?” said the constable to the farmer. 
“Yas,” replied the farmer, resting on his 
hoe; “he wants to learn to play baseball, 
and he says he doesn’t have time to learn 
on the farm.”—Yonkers Statesman. 
Visiting Prison Chaplain : “Ah, my 
friend, this world is full of trials.” In¬ 
carcerated Guest: “Don’t I know it, mis¬ 
ter? Ain’t I ’ad my share of ’em? But 
it ain’t the trials I mind so much; it’s the 
verdicts.”—Philadelphia Inquirer. 
The country bull looked askance at the 
group of city girls meandering across the 
field. “I don’t like the cut of that red 
dress,” he muttered, pawing the ground. 
“I think I’ll put a few gores in it and then 
it will be just ripping!”—Baltimore Amer¬ 
ican. 
Caller: “Do you think the doctor is go¬ 
ing to help you, Mr. Jones?” Jones: “He

CONGO ROOFING 
The time to be satisfied with your 
roofing is five years afteryou bought it. 
That’s the test that Congo asks for. 
Durability is the only thing about a 
roofing that is really indispensable and 
Congo is full of it in the shape of high- 
grade weather-proof materials put to¬ 
gether in the right way. Send for a 
free sample and see for yourself. Cut 
open the sample—test it. If you can 
recognize what is good in a roofing, 
you will decide on Congo.

The philanthropical Fifth avenue lady 
was visiting a lower East Side Sunday- 
school. To test the aptness of a particu¬ 
larly indigent cluster of pupils, she took 
the class in hand to question them. “Chil¬ 
dren, which is the greatest of all virtues?” 
Not one answered. “Think a little. What 
is it I am doing when I give up time and 
pleasure to come down among you for 
your moral good?” A grimy hand went 
up. “Well, what am I doing, little boy?” 
“Buttin’ in !”•—Life. 
“Don’t take it so hard, Mr. Playman,”
