At a match not long ago he wrote his name in the note book of a little girl. A couple of weeks later, much to his surprise, the same little lady shyly sidled up to him with the necessary docu ments and the request for his auto graph. “But I gave it you only a few days ago,” laughingly said the veteran. “Oh,” came the answer, “I changed that one for two bish ops.” Pr.

The laic John flay was fond of telling a story of a king who once upon a time fell into a state of deep melancholy. Court physicians could do nothing for him and were in de spair when a certain very wise man bethought himself of the well known cure of sleeping in the shirt of a perfectly happy man overnight. So courtiers were dispatched every where in search of the shirt of a per fectly happy man. < >ne by one they returned from their fruitless search throughout the vast kingdom. At last, only one courtier remained out, and lie, too, began to despair of find ing the shirt of a perfectly happy 1 man. It was just about twilight and he was riding over a village green when he was attracted by the careless laughter of a disreputable beggar who was stretched full length upon the sward. “Are you a perfectly happy man?” demanded the courtier, reining in his horse. “You bet!” said the beggar. “A thousand crowns for the loan of your shirt!” “But I ain’t got none,” replied the beggar.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
