POWERFUL SUPPORT.
SCORES ONE ON THE BISHOP.
Upton Sinclair, at a vegetarian reun
ion, attacked bitterly a malefactor of
great wealth.
“And yet this man,” said a vegetar
ian divine, ‘ ‘ claims that, when he em
barked on a business career, he took for
his motto, ‘Get thee behind me, Satan.’
Ha, ha, ha I ”
“Well,” said Mr. Sinclair, “there’s
nothing liko having good backing.”
* 1 If you don’t stop nagging me, Einily,
I shall shoot myself this very minute. ’ ’
“Yes, that’s just like you, when you
know how nervous I am when I hear a
shot. ’ ’
DR. ED BROWN,
Alchemist Yaarab Temple.
(From the London Chronicle).
The clerical foxliunter is a fast dis
appearing figure. A generation or two
ago, however, tho country parson who
rode to hounds was by no means a rarity.
G. W. E. Russell has a story of Bishop
Samuel Wilberforce, who was once effect
ually scored on by one of his own clergy
whom ho had rebuked for his addiction to
foxhunting.
Tho Bishop urged that it had a world
ly appearance. The clergyman replied
that it wns not a bit more worldly than
a ball at Blenheim Palace at which the
Bishop had been present. The Bishop
explained that he was staying in the
house, but was never within threo rooms
,of tho dancing. “Oh, if it comes to
that,” replied the clergyman, “I never
am within three fields of the hounds I ’ ’
A PURIST.
It was at recess and Mary said to an
other littlo girl: “My papa has a new
/soot of clo’es. ”
“Why don’t he ever wear ’emt” ques
tioned Ella.
“He can’t wear ’em becuz somebody
stolo his pants on ’im.”
Tho teacher, who was walking through
tho yard happened to hear the latter part-
of their conversation and went up to the
'littlo girls and said: “Uso better gram
mar, Mary. Surely, they didn’t steal
your papa’s trousers on him.”
“Teacher,” shrieked Ella, “Mary she
;ain’t kin talk English proper already.
She don’t mean they stoled them pants
on him—she means they stole ’em off
him. ’ ’
HOW SHE SHOPPED.
(From Tho Chicago News).
She wondered down the center aisle,
Whence all but her had fled;
The lamp that lighted up her smile
Was not the kind, she said.
She halted at another booth;
There costly glass held sway.
She scorned the goblets, for, in truth,
They would not match her tray!
At every counter on the route,
From basement to the top,
She found the things that wouldn’t suit,
But failed to find a mop.
She lingered at the silk display
From 1 o ’clock till 4.
Then smilingly she tripped away
To seek another floor.
From 4 till 5 she hung about
Tho petticoats on sale;
Then she recalled that, past a doubt,
Sho ought to buy a veil.
* * But they aro quite too near, ’ ’ she said;
“ I ’ll wait till after Lent! ’ ’
’Twas then she bought a spool of thread
And had it charged and sent.
IT ALL DEPENDS.
(From Tho Kansas City Journal).
“Why aro you changing that anecdote
about tho statesman?”
“I’m hitching it onto another states
man,” said the hack writer.
“But tho first statesman?”
‘ ‘ Wasn’t re-elected. ’ ’
“Oh.”

SURPRISED.
Grandpa—“I hate to see yon cry but
you know I can’t let you do just as you
please. ’ ’
Miriam—‘ ‘ O, grandpa! I didn’t think
von could be so obstinate! ’ ’—Puck.
QUESTIONABLE REWARD.
Mother—“The teacher complains you
have not had a correct lesson for a
month; why is it?”
Son—‘ ‘ She always kisses me when I
get them right.”
