Mark Twain had finished his speech at a dinner party, when, says Tid-Bits, a lawyer rose, shoved his hands deep into his - trousers pockets, as was his hab it, and laughingly inquired of ] those present: “Doesn’t it stike this company as a little unusual that a profess ional humorist should be funny?’’ 1 When the laughter that greeted this sally had subsided, Mark « Twain drawled out: i “Doesn’t it strike this company as a little unusual that a lawyer j should have his hands in his own j pockets?” Fish for Georgia Rivers. Washington, D. C., Mar. 27. Representative Walker has re ceived the promise of the U. S. Fish Commissioner that an addi tional supply of shad will be sent to the Altamaha river and that ! shad will be placed in the Satilla river. A large supply of red breasted perch are to be placed in the Satilla, Withlacoochee and Alapaha rivers. Representative Walker has for two or three days been attending to his duties in the House on ! 1 committees, but has been forbid-; den by his physicians to do office work until he regains his strength as he is still far from well. How Education Helps. A want advertisement from a serious French journal reads: '‘A young person having re- j ceived an excellent education, in cluding writing, geography, his tory, mathematics, dancing, mu sic and art, would like to enter a respectable family to do washing and ironing.” Libel For Divorce.

From what has been said of the importance of the training secured outside of the schools, it is not to be inferred that there is not much to be accomplished in the schools, says the Denver Weekly Pv,st. When a boy needs the help of a school most is after he begins to work for a living. And that is just the time that the public school system fails him. It is a great mistake to suppose that the time of his education is past when he leaves school. That is when the most important part of it should start. Upon the help that he is given then will depend his progress toward better service and higher earning capacity. If he is to continue to go forward, his education must continue throughout his life. One of the distinguishing characteristics of great men is the fact that they are always learners. They be come great because they contin ue to grow. Talked To Death. The toastmaster was in de spair. Looking down the table he saw a friend, an Irishman, noted for his wit, and he thought that he might help. He called on him. With due solemnity the Irishman responded: “I cannot say what I want to say.” he began with “for we are ail limited to five minutes. So I will tell you of an Irishman who came to this country. He wrote home telling of things here, and recounted that no longer were men put to death in this country by being hanged. ‘The w'ay they kill ’em here,’ he wrote, ‘is by elocution.’” - Raleigh News and Observer.
