Traveler*' Tales.
A distinguished traveler and war
correspondent on a lecture tour in
Scotland spoke one night at a little
village four miles from a railway sta¬
tion.
The chairman of the occasion, after
introducing the lecturer as “the mon
wha’s come here tae broaden oor intel¬
lects,” said that he felt that a wee bit
prayer would not be out of pleace.
“And, O Lord,” he went on. “pit it
intae the heart o’ this mon tae speak
the truth, the hale truth and naetbing
but the truth, and gie us grace tae un
d e r | tan’hlm.” )iUi 1......1 ”

eler meself.”

Lady Beaconsfield was an enthusi¬
astic sympathizer with her husbaud in
all his interests and was devoted to
him. When in the commons he was
constant'" at work and gave himself
little tiX. He used to dine late at
night and very sparli ^v. Once, refer¬
ring to tills hasty diu .r .■ and assiduous
attendance, I said to Lady Beaeons
fleld that I eould not understand how
he kept going. “Ah, but," she answer¬
ed, “I always have supper for him
when he comes home, and lights,
lights, plenty of lights. Dizzy always
likes lights, and then he tells me ev¬
erything that has happened in the
house, and then I clap him off to bed."

It was formerly made a reproach to
the Scots that they played their na¬
tional game, golf, far too seriously,
but the English now play It with a
dourness which the most seasoned
Scots cannot equal and is perhaps
only surpassed by the Americans.—

Too Exalted Taetea.
A well known family in Catholic dr
• les. blessed with three very small
daughters, spent last winter in Rome,
where the small daughters were sent
to school. The family, being quite
hospitably inclined, entertained quite
lavishly some of the dignitaries of the
Vatican.
Returning to Philadelphia, they re¬
ceived a hearty welcome, and among
others some of their priest friends
called to bid them welcome home. The
mother, always proud of her three
small daughters, sent for them to be
brought downstairs to see a father.
After awhile they came, the three lit¬
tle golden haired girls, but they only
stood in the doorway of the spacious
room and refused to come any far¬
ther.
The mother, very mortified at such
behavior, said to the eldest: “Come
here, dear. Don’t you remember good
Father-, who used to come and see
us from the cathedral?”
There they stood, the three little
blond tots, and, looking most disap¬
provingly at good Father-. the eld¬
est spoke. “We like cardinals.” is what
•be said.—Philadelphia Ledger.
