August 18, igog. TH | Story Corner A French lady living In London engaged a carpenter to do some work for her at a stipulated price. She was surprised later to find that he charged more than the price agreed upon. When she attempted to remonstrate with him, However, her English failed her, and she said, "You are dearer to me now than when we were first engaged." "More than five thousand elephants a year go to make our piano keys," remarked the student boarder who had been reading scientific notes in a patent medicine almanac. "For the land's sake!" exclaimed the landlady. "Ain't it wonderful what some animals can be trained to do?"?Chicago News. t "I thought the Agricultural Department was run in the interest of the farmer." "Well, ain't it?"

The biography of Dean Hook I a certain minor canon who U3ed to preach at the cathedral, when Hook was a boy in Winchester school. In one of his sermons there occurred the striking reflection that vwhat is impossible can never be, ami very seldom comes to pass." Another discourse was long remembered for its pathetic lamentation on the degeneracy of the age: "O temporal O mores! What times we live In! Little hoys and girls run about the streets cursing and swearing before they can either walk or talk!"
