DiKTifi'Uw ft was &A the little junction tovm ot Weal Liberty, Iowa, at the indecent hour of 0 a.m that a traveller who had just arrived entered as alleged restaurant near the railway deodt and said? 'Bring me some bacon and eggs.' "Got. ye," said the young behind manger. In fifteen or twenty minutow the same young man returned with a piate containing something. The traveller examined it critically, making n4 motions towards attacking the viands there dia played. Finally he pushed the plate carefullj tod gently away from him and said: "Now, son, don't think for a minute I've k)% my temper, for I have not done so. Don't thint. I'm trying to roast yvu, either, for nothing <• further from my thoughts. I simply want to give you some fatherly and much-needed advice This stuff you have Drought me is not Edible, you know, means that may be »:aton This bacon, for instance, is not cooked at all it is cut, to begin with, half-an-inch thick. :4' stead of a sixteenth of an inch thin, as it should be cut. Then it has simply undergone a Turkish bath until its pores are nicely opened. It is no* oooked at all. That, my eon, renders 3t inedible, which means 'that may not be eaten.' If it haft been rendered more it would have been nearof edibility. Do not feel for a moment that I arr. dia appointed. X am not. I was not hungry. ] never would have come in here if I had bpaii hungry. I have been in here before. When 1 am hungry and should not eat I sometimes come in here to have my appetite reroded, which ;q always promptly accomplished by one glance what you bring me when 1 order something tha» is elsewhere served in edible form. So I am no disappointed or in any way hurt in my feelings. I remembered that I had at various timff Brdered almost everything else on your bill of fare except bacon and eggs in my previous An- voluntary visits to your junction. I was curioui to know what you would serve under that head in this ironical place. My' curiosity has been fully satisfied, and I have had the worth of, my money. Here is your quarter. «I charge you nothing for my lecture on dietetics. Look that word up. Good-morning, my son, for I think J toar th« train from Minneapolis whistling in." —Judge

ENCOURAGING HIM. "ten dollars for contempt?" snorted the cap- tured automobilist, glowering qt the mild-faced lIOuntJ'T justice of the peace.

There's a lOOdol, -but it's only on recount. Understand? OnlJ on account! The mild-faced justice toon v.h« bill and folded t carefully. Tucking it into his breeches pocket, said: • I never Lnowingly made an enemy in my life, stranger, but, by heck! I want you to bate toe. There's another lOOdol, doe on MMWt ifbi tow

SWANSEA HARBOUR TRUST. Monthly Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trust was held on Monday morn- ing, under the presidency of Sir Griffith Thomas. Mr. F. H. Glynn Price, in moving the adoption of the report of the Finance Com- mittee, stated the trade of the port for the first mioaith o.f this year differed from pre- ceeding months in that it showed a consider- able shortage. Swansea had been somewhat silow to feel the effect of the depression more or less general throughout the country, but was now suffering in common with other ports. He could only hope it would be but temporary. In tihe imports the principal losses were as follows: Calamine, 2,400 tons, and wood goods, 11,000 tons. There were increases in pig iron of 2,400 tons; pyrites, 1,300 tons; grain, 2,300 tons. In tihe exports, coal, coke, and patent fuel declined 50,000 tons, tinplates, 6,700, and galvanised sfheetis, 1,600 tons. The result of the month's working was a surplus of P,483 as compared with B990 dur- ing the corresponding month of last year. Mr. Geofpge Cook seconded, and the report was adopted. The Executive Committee in their report recommended the appointment of Mr. David Culton, of Stockton-on-Tees, to the position of electrical engineer aft a salary of £250 pr annum, to dfevote the whole of his time to the work, and the engagement to be sub- ject to a three months' notice in writing on either side. The committe also recommend the accept- ance of the tender of Mr. Griffith Davreo, Swansea, for the erection of six workmen's cottages, and that a sub-committee consist- ing of the chairman, the Mayor (Councillor Morgan Tutton), J. Glasbrook, J. P. Cook, and Dd. Davies (two to form a quorum, and with power to add) appointed to take such steps ai> they may think necessary with regard to the Taff Vale (Cardiff Railway and Rhymney Railways) Vesting Bills, threat Western Railway Bills. The recommendation was confirmed. upon the motion of the Chairman, seconded by the Mayor. The report of the Pilotage, committee, re- commended the appointment of James George Chapman, as sea pilot, and George Dawley, "s harbour pi'ot, both having passed their examinations, and was agreed to on the proposition of the Mayor, seconded by Mr. Proiheroo.
