A gentleman once ‘ .ppened to visit Carlyle just after i-iliia nt man of genius had left hi: As they met at the door the man renlus said: *4 I have just been vi g poor Carlyle, II© is a mere wre i mere wreck.” As the second vi: greeted Carlyle he remarked. “So / ve just had Mr. -— with you?’ n \ was the an rwer of the “mere reck, and he thinks God Airaigh ever made such another!” SUBSCRIPT NOW The Owner and the Visitor. His house, the first he had ever owned, being nearly tinlshed, the Flat* bush man went fortii one line after¬ noon to inspect It. As ho entered the front door he observed a well dressed man standing within, apparently ad¬ miring the beauties of construction and decoration. In an instant the pride of the owner swelled within him. Here was where he would make the visitor Verdant witli envy and, incidentally. Intercept a few bouquets for himself. Stepping up to the stranger, lie re marked: “It’s a beautiful house, Isn’t it?

She drew up. “By the hour,” said the two, seating them¬ selves. “Where?” “Hois de Boulogne.” She whipped up without another word and drove off to the Bois. After a si¬ lent tour of something over an hour the merry twain began to tire and asked to be put down. “Very good, citizens, 19 said the “cochero,” depositing them and holding out her hand. “My fare is 300 francs per hour for my poor.” In the event the laugh proved to be on he aide.
