One of the most amusing instances of
misunderstanding a word is told of an old
church warden of Wallingford, England.
At one time the bishop of Oxford sent
round to the church wanleus in his diocese
a circular of various inquiries, among
which was:
"Does your officiating clergyman preach
the gospel, and are his conversation and car
riage consistent therewith?”
To this the church warden of Wallingford
replied, “He preaches the gospel, but he
docs not keep a carriage.”—Youth’s Com
panion.
Pessimism.
“At Par."
Adolphus (dejectedly)—Eighteen, and not
a gray hair yet!
Itegiiiald (sympathetically)—Ah, college
ilfe is not what it used to be.—Truth.
Well Prepared.
Muring a little pedestrian trip a gentle
man came unexpectedly upon a country
race course, and on one portion of the
ground found u thimblerig establishment
in full work. Notwithstanding the remon
strances of liis companion, the gentleman,
who was a bit of a madcap, insisted on
watching the game.
“Now, would the gent like to wager a
crown lie could And the pea?” remarked
the i \ pert.
"Yes," was the reply.
The money was on both sides deposited,
ami t lie pedestrian, lifting up the thimble,
pointed out the required pea and took the
stakes.
A second bet, “double or quits,” ended,
to the surprise of the expert, in the same
result.
Then a third wager, “a pound or noth
ing.” steadied the nerves of the loser, and
tlie t rick was accomplished with great cau
tion. The gentleman lifted up a thimble
and allowed the pea, at the same time pock
eting tlie stake.
“S'holp me,” etc. “1 didn't put it therel”
exclaimed the bewildered artist.
“No. hut I always carry my own pea,”
rejoined the man wtio had come out right
as he went on his way with the spoils of
war.—Tit-Bits.

• Deep.
As Briggs came pufliDgand blowing from
the crowd through which he had pressed
his way Diggs exclaimed, “What’sthemat-
ter, Briggs; you look deeply touched?”
“Deeply touched! Heavens on earth,
man, I should say I was. Some fellow in
that gang touched me for $50 and my dia
mond pin."—Detroit Free Press.

after he had gone I picked it up. What do
you think it was?
Dora—Horrors! I’m sure I could never
guess. Tell me quick!
Clara—It told how to clean rag carpets.

GETTING IT DONE.
It Is a Simple Affair If You Only Anew
How.
"It’s strange I enn’t get my wife to mend
my clothes.” remarked Mr. Bridie disgust
edly. “I asked her to sew the buttons on
this vest this morning, and she has never
touched it.”
You asked her?” observed Mr. Norris,
with a slight shrug of his shoulders.
“Yes. What else should I do?”
“You haven’t been married very long,
and perhaps you’ll take a pointer from
me." remarked Mr. Norris, with a fatherly
air. “Never ask a woman to mend any
thing. That’s fatal."
"Why, what do you mean?”
“Do as I do. When I want to have a shirt
mended, for instance, I take it in my hand
and hunt up ray wife. - ‘Where’s that rag
bag, Mrs. Norris?’ I demand fiercely.
‘What do you want the ragbag for?’
she says suspiciously.
‘I want to throw this shirt away. It’s
all worn out,’ I reply.
“ ‘Let me see it,’ she demands.
“But I put the garment behind my back.
“ ‘No, my dear,’ I answer. ‘There is no
lse of your attempting to do anything with
t. It needs’
“ ‘Let me see it,’ she reiterates.
“ ‘But it’s all worn out, I tell you.'
“ ‘Now, John, you give me that shirt!’
the says in her most peremptory tones.
“I hand over the garment.
“‘Why, John Norris!’ she cries, with
womanly triumph. ‘This is a perfectly
good shirt. All It needs is a new neck
band.’
“‘And the cuffs are ragged,too,’ I an
swer mildly.
“ ‘And new wristbands, and the button
holes worked over,’ she adds.
“ *'Well, never mind what it needs. I don’t
Intend you shall bother with it. You’ll
only waste your time. You’ll never get it
to fit in the neck anyway,’ I throw in as a
final clincher.
‘That’s just like your extravagance,’
she cries. *I’ra going to fix that shirt.
The idea of throwing away a perfectly good
garment! I'll fix it so you can never tell
the difference.’ And she does.
“That's the way I get my clothes mend
ed,” concluded Mr. Norris. “Just tell a
woman she can’t do anything and then
stand aside and see how quickly It is
done.”—Brooklyn Life.
A NeW Plata.
There is one lawyer in the city who will
nevei again make use of Latin phrases in
writing business letters. A short time ago
he had to write a letter to a slieut of Ills in
a neighboring city regarding an important
lawsuit that was to come up before the
court In the course of n few days, The in
formation he solicited was highly essential
to his case. In writ ing this epistle he made
use of a letter head with his printed address
at the top. In closing his letter he signed
himself thus: “John I-angdon. Address
ut supra." After waiting several days for
the reply, which did not come, he uguin
wrote his procrastinating client and asked
why lie had not Booner answered his first
letter. The next day ho received a reply in
which the client said that be had answered
the letter and addressed it to “John Ijing-
dou, Ut Supra, N. Y.”—Buffalo Express.
Nothing Dost.
“Talking about the utilization of force,"
said Bunting, “I saw something last sum
mer which beats anything I ever heard of
before. ”
“What was it?" asked Larkin.
“You know how a cow works her Jaws in
chewing her cud?”
"Yes.”
“Well, an old farmer had an arrange
ment fixed to his cows so that the cud
chewing motion was made to churn the
cow’s butter.”—Brooklyn Life.

The father's voice trembled with various

George shook bis bend.

And the old man, when reminded of this
well known peculiarity of his offspring, felt
that his suspicions were entirely unfound

Softly blew the June breeze through the

joyously from branch to branch, the rip-,

waved their leafy plumes as if in applause,
and the sun beamed his approval from an
