CONDENSED STORIES. Whan She Got the Cr.it Thit Wn “So FuII of Significance." Here’s a good itory told about Lady Colebrooke, that prominent Englishwoman who riaited the Whitneya laat winter. Lady Cole brooke is of the pell known Paget family. Lord Colebrooke’s ances tors are equally aristocratic, and the Colebrooke crest is a rampant lion, three doves over the head and a wolf coucbant above all. It is an slaborate affair. When Lady Cole brooke was dining out with one of the opulent hostesses of Long Island she glanced casually at the dinner service, every bit of which was duly embossed with a crest. She was ac customed to heraldic china and did not at onco inspect the design mi nutely. Later in the evening, to her great surprise, she became aware that the Colebrooke crest was upon all of ligr hostess’ dinner service. "Where did you get this crest ?’’ she* exclaimed impulsively. The hostess replied unconcernedly: “Isn’t it a pretty one? I picked it out when wo furnished this house. It woe the prettiest I could find, and those dear little doves, I think, are so full of significance.” Lady Colebrooke mur mured sadly, “So full of signifi cance.”—New York Press. Mascagni's 8arcasm. During the last dress rehearsal at tho Metropolitan Opera House of Mascagni’s Jnjinneso opera, “Iris,” which was produced last autumn for the first time in America, Mascagni, who was conducting the orchestra, was greatly annoyed by the lucttcv tive performance of one of the sing er* in a particular scene. The pas sage was a very intense one—a love aceno between tho chief reprobate and tho heroine. “Do not move so timidly I Stand farther to tho right 1 Play with more vigor! Morocolorl More va riety 1” shouted the composer above the surgo of the music. The unfortunato actor, thorough ly discomfited, went from bad to worse in his impersonation and now was singing almost continually out of tunc. Tho esnsperated composer could stand it no longer. lie stop ped the orchestra and beckoned the singer down to the footlights. “Since all other methods for mak ing the passage effective seetn to San Francisco is still repeating and laughing over the bonmots Bishop Potter let drop on the oc casion of his visit to that city two years ago to attend the Episcopal cowvention. At that time tha citizens were vary much astir because the famous eastern bishop was to be a visitor within their gates, and they vied with one another to honor their guest. The bishop was kept busy declining the invitations that he had not time to accept. But ona invita tion thrf' he did avail himself of was to occupy tha magnificent resi dence of William Crocker, one of the millionaire families of which Mrs. Francis Burton Harrison and Mrs. Alexander are eastern representa tives. The houso is a showy one, situat ed upon Nob hill, where the early California millionaires built their homes, so it is a "show place." It came to have a double interest when it was occupied by the bishop. One,’ day a San Franciscan was sltowini the group of residences to a friem who was visiting in the city. As they approached the “Will Crocker" home ne spang the treasured which he had been saving ..for’ the right moment. “This,” said he, with a flourish, “ia Mr. Crocker’s Pottery.” Ho did not recognize the gentle man who was at that moment de scending tho steps. It was the bish op, who could not lelp overhearing and who had a twinkle in his eye. “I bog pardon for correcting yew,” ho said, ‘out you are mistaken. This is Iiishop Potter’s Crockery.”— Washington Star. Time to Loam. One of the latest stories of the strange reasoning of negroes comes from J. II. Stoddart, tho veteran actor, and is of an incident he wit nessed in Louisiana on a tour through that part of the couni “I nad an afternoon lay off in this Louisiana town,” said- the ac tor, “and with nothing to do roam ed about the place. Fnially I got to tho courthouse and went in. A negro trial was on, and a typical old darky was one of the witnesses. He was fixing tho time of the occur rence of the troublo and said it was half past 3 in the afternoon. “ ‘How do you know it was half put 3?’ demanded the lawyer for the other side. “ ‘Why, I—I knowed it wu half put 3 by mv watch. I knowed it,’ stammered the darky. “‘Can VOU tell time?’ demanded the lawyer. “ ‘Sure, I can tell time,’ answered the witness. “‘What time is it now? demand ed the lawyer, pointing to the clock. “The darky studied the clock for a minute; then ho said lie did not know what timo it was. "‘But I thought you could tell time,’ raid the lawyer, with anger. “‘Welf, I can tell lime, boss, by my watch,’ said the darky, ‘but I writ tell no time by no clock.’ ” What tha Child Wiihid Par Aftsr Hear ing Papa’s Sermon. Hand in hand they wandered among the posies of a New England garden, a father and hia little girl, snd the Sabbath peace wu over all. The father was a clergyman of the old school, and that morning he had preached to the quiet country folk of the wrath of God, and the tortures of hell, and the fearful punishment and retribution which a just and angry Ood sends upon the children of men. The little child had listened thoughtfully as he preached long and earnestly of the wrath of God and tha tormeuta of the damned. The clergyman returned to his home and walked with his little among the flowers in his garden. Hi loved her very dearly, and he pluck ed the sweetest flowers and gave them to her and kissed her and led her footsteps with the gentleness and tenderness of fatherhood. . What a Quaker City Girl Knew About Punctuation. A Philadelphia schoolgirl said to her father the other night: “Itaddy, I’ve got a sentence I’d like to have you punctuate. You know something ubout punctuation, don’t you ?”. “Yes. a little,’’ said her cautious parent as he took the slip of paper she handed him. This is what he read: “A five dollar bill flew around the corner.”- He studied it carefully and finally raid: “Weli, I'd simply put a period after it, like this.” “I wouldn’t,” said the I girl. “I'd make a dash a Public- Is-dger.
