I began it In this way: “‘Suddenly on the still night air rang the shrill ery of fire, and at the same moment the little licking tongues of flame, whose light, playing along the roof’s edge, caught the eye of the midnight watcher, leaped forth, no lon- ger playful, but fierce and angry in their thirst and greed. Like glowing, snaky demons, the lurid links entwined the doomed building. In venomous hisses and spurts the flames shot into the overhanging darkness, while from every window and door poured forth a dense sulphurous smoke, the deadly suffocating breath of an imprisoned fiend.” “I went on in that style for over half a column,” said the new reporter, “and this Is what appeared in the paper this morning: “‘A fire broke out in Broad street last night, but was quickly suppress- Do you call that journalism?'— London Standard. Love and Wedlock. A man of middle age and a youth of romautic appearance sat alone in a smoking compartment of a nearly empty evening train. In the solitude the youth took a photograph from his pocket, looked at it and then sald to his companion feverishly: ““Were you ever, sir, in love?” The man of middle age started. He laughed. “Was I ever in love?” he repeated as he relighted his pipe. “Was I ever in love? Well, I don’t know if"— “You don’t know?’ cried the youth. “Well, if you ever had been in love youwd know it. Why, when you're in love your life 18 a sweet dream, you have no taste for food, you think of noth!ng but the beauty of”— “Were you ever married?’ snapped the middle aged man. “No, but”— “Well, if you ever had been you'd know it. Why, when you’re married your life 18”— But the youth, with a scowl, edged off to the far end of the carriage and got out at the next station, disgusted. —London Scraps. She Was an “Easy Mark.” “Did you intend to give me this?” asked a ‘steward on one of the steam- ers of a woman passenger who just tipped him. “This” was a bright new penny. The woman, embarrassed, sald: “No, I didn’t give you that. I gave you a $2.50 gold plece, didn’t 17" “That’s what I thought you meant to give me. I was sure you had made a mistake,” sald the man. The woman, with an apology, took the penny and gave him a gold piece. Then she went back to her stateroom to count her money and to try to understand. It came to her all right. She remem- bered two years before on her home- ward trip a fellow passenger had told bow the steward had come to her with & new penny given him by mistake, the steward sald, and she had made it good. It was a little late then—she had been an “easy mark,” and she knew it ~and it wouldn’t do a bit of good to Object.

A happy and humorous example of sarcasm as apart from repartee Is af- forded by the following anccdote. 1 quote It on the authority of a friend, who, I am afraid, was the villain of the incident: A most lmperturbable man was followed from Westmoreland street, Dublin, over the O’'Connell bridge to the general postoffice by two little street arabs, who Iimportuned him for the end of his clgar. *“Throw us the butt, sir! Ah, sir, throw us the butt!” cried the youths, but as the man did not betray the slightest conscious- ness of thelr existence they gave him up at last in despair and disgust. “Ar- rah, let him alone,” said one, with the most scorching scorn. “Shure, it's a butt he's picked up himself.” I once heard a bumptious little man, who, acting as steward at athletic sports in Dublin, was very assertive In keeplng back the crowd, thus ad- dressed by an angry spectator: “If the consate was taken out of yez, ye'd be no bigger than a green gooseberry, and ye're as sour as wan already!” London Standard. Happiness From Troubles. Being human, happily or unhapplly, we cannot deny the comfort to be found in the reflection that misery never lacks the company it loves. We all have our troubles, and some of us derive much satisfaction from the con- templation of them. Indeed, there are those who are happy only when wretch- ed, but these we belleve to be as few In number as they are disagreeable in assoclation. The vast majority of hu- mans are normal and disposed, there- fore, in conformity with natural law, to smile when the skies are clear and to grieve under the portent of clouds; hence the ease with which worry takes possession of the mind, colors the dis- position and makes a cripple of effort. That causes abound we know and must admit, as we do almost uncon- sciously the certainty of death, but too little cognizance Is taken of the fact that the effect of mere apprehen- slon, which is all that worry really is, may be subjected to simple mental treatment and Dbe overcome.—George Harvey in North American Review. Vernet and the Veteran. *When Horace Vernet, the great French painter of battle scenes, was at the height of his fame,” said an art- ist, “when the prices he was getting ‘were enormous, a grizzled old veteran came to him one day and said: “‘ want you to make my picture to send home to my son. What, though, 18 your charge? “‘How much are you willing to pay? sald Vernet, smiling. “‘A franc and a half, was the an- swer. “‘Very good.” “And the artist, with a few quick strokes, dashed off a wonderful sketch of the old man, “The old man paid, tucked the sketch under his arm and carried it out tri- umphantly to a comrade who awaited him outside. “‘But I did wrong not to haggle a bit’ Vernet overheard him say. ‘I might have got it for a frane.”” He who changes the sports Is se- cretly changing the manners of the young.—Plato. i | | Jean Richepin's Career. The story of how he came to adopt & literary career is sufliclently plctur- esque. Ifor some time he had picked up a precarious livelihood by doing “odd Jobs,” Inclnding such prosale oc- | cupations as that of bootblack and casual porter on the Qual Marseilles. One day he was engaged by a gentle- man to carry to the rallway station a heavy trunk. Arrived at the statlon, fhere was an instant mutual recognl- tion, They were old college chums, “What are you doing here?” asked his friend. “Carrying your trunk, I be- lieve,” said Jean. “Why do you do this?” “Because I must.” “Where do you live?” plied Richepln, The future dramatist took his friend to his dwelling—a miserable room in an attie In the poorest quarter of the town. Upon the table lay scattered heaps of manuscripts—Jean’s Incur- sions In the realms of poetry when the more prosaic duties of the day were over. Looking through them, his friend was astounded at their quality. “Why do you carry trunks and blacken boots when you can do work like this?” he asked. Richepin had never given the matter a thought. He had never deemed these products of idle hours worthy of publication. Pub- lished they were, however, in a very few weeks and created an immense sensation. From that moment Jean Richepin never looked back—West- minster Gazette. The Old Buffalo Days. There Is on record at the war de- partment, Washington, a document bearing witness to how plentiful buf- faloes were within the memory of many men now living. It is the “re- turn” for several rounds of cannon ammunition expended In Kansas in 1867 to divert the course of a great herd of buffalo that was bearing down toward a camp of soldlers with a force that threatened to overwhelm it. At least one officer is allve who saw these shots fired, and he describes the herd as literally reaching as far as the eye could see. It was a long time in passing the camp, whose occupants watched it in silence, awed by the spectacle. General Philip St. George Cooke at once halted a regiment of cavalry on the plains to permit a great herd of antelope to pass, and he was not a man easily halted when on duty. His humanity impelled him to with- “Come and wsee,” re- hold the regiment from mangling and | malming the antelope, which were al- lowed the right of way.—Boston Tran- seript. Each Got What He Wanted. “A hunter set out one day to hunt, and a panther set out at the same time to eat,” said the lecturer. “‘I must have a fur overcoat,’ said the hunter. “‘I’ said the panther, ‘must have a dinner’ “Some hours later, in a lonely wood, the panther and the hunter met. “‘Aha, said the hunter gayly, level- Ing his gun, ‘here is my fur overcoat. “And he shot, but the panther, dodg- ing behind a tree, escaped unhurt. “Then the panther rushed forth be- fore the hunter could reload. “‘Aha, here’s my dinner,” said the panther. “And he fell upon the hunter and de- voured him. “Thus each got what he wanted, the hunter getting his fur overcoat and the panther getting his dinner.

Everybody in Cedarby owned that Mrs. Hanson was the queen of cooks, but they were likely to add that when It came to explaining the processes by which she arrlved at her excellent re- sults she left a good deal to be de- sired. “Your scalloped oysters are the best ‘we ever have at our church suppers or anywhere, and you know it,” sald a neighbor, endeavoring to win speclal favor from this culinary goddess. “Most folks get ’em elther too wet or too dry. I tell em I don’t know how you man- age it so yours are always just right. 1 don't suppose you could tell exactly yourself.” “Why, yes, 1 could,” and Mrs. Han- son smiled indulgently at the eager, hopeful face of her neighbor. *“All I do is butter the dish, put in a layer of oysters, salted and peppered, then a layer of buttered crumbs, then a layer of milk and back to oysters again. Easy as ple, 'tis.” “A ‘layer’ of milk?" gelghbor. “Why, yes,” said Mrs. Hanson cheer- fully. “That's what makes ’em about right—layer of oysters, layer of crumbs and layer of milk. Leastways that’s what I do, and you say you like 'em.”—Youth’s Companion, faltered the A Welsh Sermon, The Welsh are noted for their fond- ness for sermons and music.

A similar enthusiasm greets the Welsh preacher who is eloquent in speech and practical in expounding the Scriptures. The following story of a Welsh preacher, told in the “Journals of Walter White,” illustrates the | graphie, simple exposition which con- manded the attention of the congrega- tion: “Noe worked at the ark, driving nails, plump, plump, plump. The hay- then came and said: ‘Noe, there’s good hunting in the woods here, hares and foxes. Leave your work and come and hunt’ But Noe kept on hammering, plump, plump, plump. “The haythen came again: ‘Noe, there’s good beer at the Red Lion. | Leave your work and come and drink.’ But Noe kept on hammering, plump, plump, plump. And then the rain| | came, and the flood lifted up the ark and carried Noe away and left the | haythen all’ screaming and squabbling in the water.” The Coach and Four Came. Among the many records of Harrow school is that of a boy, the son of a poor local tradesman in a very small way of business. His schoolfellows often taunted him about his family poverty. Their thoughtless jeers, al- { though hurting his feelings, drew from the lad the retort, “I intend before I die to ride in a coach and four.” The years sped by, and, lo and behold, the poverty stricken youngster of Harvow had developed into Dr. Parr, the great- est scholar of his time, whose cus- tomary and favorite means of locomo- tlon was a coach and four!—London Mail. | TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY i Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.
