Defended Her Castle.
To illustrate how a man broadens
who keeps in touch with the ever
changing conditions of this world, Dr.
Lorimer told a story in Tremont Tem
ple that was not only pat, but was ap
parently heartily enjoyed by the
women folk present, says the Boston
Evening Record.
“When I was first married,” said the
doctor. “I had my strict ideas about
Sunday observance Mrs. Lorimer
has a colored ‘aunty’ for cook, and on
the first Saturday efttr she came I
went into the kitchen and told her I
did not want any Sunday work, so
she could prepare all meals for that
day beforehand. .
“She didn't say one word while I
was talking ; then she looked up and,
pointing to the door, exclaimed :
“ ‘Now, look hyah, Marse George,
you jest go in dar and tend to your
Christianity, and leave me to tend to
mah kitchen.”
“I went, and, as near as I can re
member, she had hot dinners Sundays
as long as she stayed with ns.”
Why They Missed the Train
An amusing incident took place
lately at the railway station at Havre,
which beautifully illustrates the value
of the French regulation of locking up
travelers in the waiting, rooms up to
the moment of their departure.
A train was to start at a certain
time for Montevil'ers, a small town
about half an hour’s journey by rail
from Havre. Away went the train,
and in due course of time it reached
its destination The guard hastened
to open the doors of the carriages, and
was surprised to find them all empty.
All the persons who had taken tick
ets for that train had been left safely
locked up in the wailing rooms at
Havre, the official who ought to have
unfa tened the doors and announced
the moment of the train’s departure
having forgotten to fulfill his duty.
A special train was prepared as quick
ly as possible, and the travelers were
finally dispatched to their destination
after a long and vexatious delay.—
