He igirls were to be mindful of Willle's |rights, to call him when a choice mor- el was unearthed, to prevent him rom quarreling and to bring him back iwhen he wandered from the barnyard. One day during a sisterly quarrel brother disappeared. His sisters had ueen the minister enter the farmhouse 'on a visit, but thought nothing of it juntil they saw poor Willle meet his leath by an ax. Consternation ensued, and a councll as held to devise a way to meet the other hen and to break the news to er. “Cluck, cluck, cluckety, cluck, cluck,” (sald Mother Hen, breaking in on the council of the sisters. “Cluckety, cluckety, cluck,” answer- ed the sisters in one voice, which trans- lated means, “Where is your brother?” and they answered, “The minister vis- {ited the house, and brother got it in .the neck.” Mothér Hen was downcast, but she quickly recovered her composure and sald: “Cluckety, cluckety, cluck; cluck, «cluck, cluckety,” which 1s: “I am sorry 'for poor Willle.

Years ago the Gordon setter was qulte a favorite and much In use by spcrtsmen of this country. In later iyears, however, this really good dog 'was displaced in greater part by the pointer and English setter, The Gor- don, says Ed F. Haberleln in Dogdom, {{s the largest and heaviest of all bird ‘dogs, more clumsy and usually slow. /Where most hunting 18 done in wood- land and thickets and a slow working 'dog Is needed so as not to get “lost” almost continually he fills the bill well —works close to gun, has good nose, I8 steady on point and if properly trained 'a very good retrlever from land and water. The Gordon s easily trained and retains his training well, is also of good pleasant disposition and an ad- mirable companion. At this age, how- ever, when so very much stress is lald on speed and wide range, the Gordon is not “in-it” because he is a slow, pottering dog as a rule.

They were the first pair he ever had, and for several days afterward he strutted proudly about the camp in them. But a few days later he appear- ed as usual in'bare feet, with the boots tied round his neck. “Hello!” said his master. “Why don’t you wear your boots? Are they too bmall for you?’ “Oh, mno, sah,” replied the Kaffir, “they plenty big. Berry nice boots, sah, but no good for walking or running. Make um fellah too much slow, sah. Keep boots now for wear in bed.” Origin of a Well Preserved Joke. Nasica, having called at the house of the poet Ennius, and the maidservant having told him, on his inquiring at the door, that Ennius was not at home, saw ithat she had said so by her master’s or- der and that he was really within, and ‘when a few days afterward Ennius called at Nasica’s house and inquired for him at the gate Nasica crled out| that he was not at home. “What!” says Ennius. “Do I not know your yolce?” “You are an impudent fel- Tow,” rejoined Nasica. “When I in- quired for you, I belleved your servant ‘when she told me that you were not at home, and will not you believe me when I tell you that I am not at home#*—Cicero’s “De Oratore” Classified. The geology class was sent out to pollect specimens, and their teacher was to-explain upon their return what the different specimens were. One of the boys for a joke brought in a piece of brick.

The first “run” on banking fnstitu- tlons in London was in 1667. Many Lombard street goldsmiths and bank- ers had lent out the money intrusted to them and, belng called upon for payment, were unable to meet the de- mand.

Among the many anecdotes related of the old Turkish joker Nasir Eddin Khodja is the following: Khodja went one evening to the well to draw water. and, looking down to the bottom, he saw the moon. Quickly he ran into his house and got a rope with a hook at- tacked to the end of it. This he low- | ered into the well. The hook caught | fast on a stone. Khodja pulled des- perately, the hook gave way, and there | was the joker, flat on his back, star- | ing up into the sky. “Upon my soul,” he exclaimed, perceiving the moon, “1 |* have had a bad fall, but I have put' the moon back in its place.” A Question of Class, “They are constantly catching more grafters,” said the hopeful citizen. “Not regular grafters,” answered: Mr. Dustin Stax. “Those who get caught tre only amateurs.”—Washington Star: One cannot be and have been.-- brrench Proverb.
