Jturaorous Department. Promptly Corrected.?Two young fellows at Liverpool, partners in the tea trade, were the best of friends, and their intimacy extended to personal as well as business matters. One of them, a simple-minded fellow, was a bachelor, and was in the habit of reading to his partner extracts from letters of an ardent and affectionate nature from a lady in the north of England, who signed herself "Susie." The married one went to China for twelve months and returned just in time to attend the wedding of his partner. "I hardly feel like a stranger," he said, in his sweetest tones, addressing the bride. "In fact, I feel as though I ought to be well acquainted with my partner's wife, since he has often done me the honor to read to me extracts from his dear Susie's letters." The faces of the husband and speaker were studies as the bride drew herself up and said, emphatically and distinctly, "I beg your pardon?my name is Helen."?Tit Bits.

He studied the woman, therefore, closely. He scrutinized her figure, her face, her dress. She was old and poorly clad and decidedly her appearance was familiar. "Haven't I seen you before?" said the bishop. "Indeed ye hev, sir," returned the woman cordially. "Haven't I confirmed you before?" "O, yes, sir; many a time, sir." "Why?what on earth?how"? the bishop, amazed and perplexed, began; but the woman, smiling, interrupted him to explain. "I get confirmed, sir, as often as I kin, 'cause I'm toid it's good for the rheumatiz." Story on a Southern Merchant.? A story is told of a Louisiana merchant who came to New York determined to secure a bargain. He wanted cheap cloaks, and after trying in vain to suit himself at the wholesale houses he bought a job lot at auction. He examined the goods hurriedly and had them shipped home. In due time he was confronted by an excited head salesman who said the garments were out of style. "They didn't look that way," said the merchant. "But they are." replied the clerk. The merchant persisted that the cloaks would sell, but they didn't. In desperation he returned them to New York to be disposed of to the best advantage. On his next trip to New York he again visited an auction house and bought a lot of cloaks. When he returned home and examined his purchase he saw he had bought the same lot again.?New York World. X& We rose from the steps to let the old fellow in, and he stopped long enough to say: "This gettin' past you folks reminds me of the summer Squire Hopkins' three daughters were bein' courted all at the same time. Russell Jaspie was a courtln' Samantha, the oldest girl; Frank Atwood was a courtln' Mabel, and Susie, the youngest, was bein' courted by Jim Handy. "One night, pretty late, the squire come back home from town meetin', and started to go in by the front door, but found Russell and Samantha aspoonin' on the steps; and so he went to the side door, and there was Jim Handy settin' close to little Susie. He backed off again and went around the house to the kitchen without dlsturbin' no one, and I'm jiggered If he didn't stumble onto Frank a-huggin' his other girl. Then the squire he up and says: 'Frank, you let me in tonight and in the morning I'll have another door cut through!"'?Life. She Knew How to Describe It.?A newspaper woman in New England was sent to report an entertainment where amateurs sang, recited and did other stunts. In her account of the affair the woman wrote: "Mrs. Blank sang two solos with her usual nerve." "See here," called the editor, "you mean 'verve' don't you?" "If you had heard the singing," said the woman reporter, "you would know that I wrote it correct." "But it will make Mrs. Blank angry." "Tell her that it was a typographical error. That will appease her wrath, and all who heard her efforts will commend the paper for its truthfulness." And so it was printed "nerve."?New York Press. So Late at the Office.?"I really feel worried about my husband, he is getting to be so absent-minded," said the young wife to her dearest girl friend. "Tell me about it, dear," said the friend, sympathetically. "Well, he came home from business very late the other evening, and I heard him talking in the hall." "To himself?" asked the friend, suspiciously. "No, indeed." "Not the?cook?" "I should say not. What an idea! No; when I went down I found him with a feather duster in his hand, and, would you believe it, the poor fellow was trying to make it say, 'Polly want a biscuit,' "?Cardiff Times. A Good Alibi.?"You say." said the state's attorney, "that on the night of the 15th of September, the time when this crime was committed, you were out riding in the town of Oakville?" "Yes. sir," said the prisoner, who was trying to set up an alibi. "Have you any witnesses to prove that you were out riding?" "Well. I don't know their names, but there must have been ten or twelve gentlemen carrying the rail, while there were a dozen or more walking behind, carrying the tar and feathers."?Chicago Tribune. fjBijwIUnfW grading.

It Is said that Mr. Charles Green of Brighton, is the oldest man in England. He was born at Selsey, near Chichester. on August 22. 1794, and is thus over 109 years old. He retains his faculties in a wonderful manner, and, considering his great age, is remarkably well. At the ige of nine he was turned out to work, and he was employed in farm work hi his native village until he reached the advanced age of ninety. Since then his relatives have taken good care of him, and now at the age of 109 he is able to eat, drink and sleep well. He is the father of ten children, and he resides with his youngest daughter, whose husband, Mr. Hall, keeps the Queensbury Arms, Queensbury mews, Regency street, Brighton. For his meals he takes what many a younger man cannot digest. He makes light of boiled eggs, coffee and bread, and butter for breakfast, a piece of cake and a glass of stout for lunch, a cut from the joint and vegetables for dinner, and an ordinary tea. Mr. Green's wife was ninety-seven years of age when she died. The couple were blessed with ten children, as already mentioned; the old gentleman is a grandfather to twenty-two, and the many succeeding generations number too many for him to count. He is somewhat deaf and partly j -?* 1.A?,?1OA Vila fonilltlPS OlinU, UUL uiuci nioc Alio are good. Recently he passed through an illness of Influenza and bronchitis, which would have proved fatal to many men half his age. He can dress and undress himself, is an early riser, but is never out of bed after 10 o'clock at night; usually he retires at or a little before 9 o'clock. BECAUSE SHE PEEPED. How the First and Only Woman Mason Was Initiated. Among the visiting Masons attending the session of the Masonic Relief association last night, the subject of "Woman in Masonry" was under informal discussion. One of the members said: "Many people think that women are admitted to membership in the Masonic order, while as a matter of fact within the history of the organization only one woman has ever been allowed to join. There are authentic reports to show that the only woman who was ever admitted was Mrs. Alsworth. Her picture now hangs in the Masonic hall, in Franklin street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, and is the property of old Richmond Lodge No 19, said to be the most venerable loage in existence In this country, as it was chartered October 29, 1787. Mrs. Alsworth was the youngest child and only daughter of Arthur St. Leger, created first Viscount Doneraiie, Ireland, June 23, 1703, and Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of John Hayes, of Winchelsea. She was born about 1713, and married Richard Alsworth, provost marshal at Munster. The lodge in which she was initiated was No. 44, of Ireland, and its I meetings were often held in the home of its president. Lord Doneraiie. Miss St. Leger determined to gratify her curiosity regarding the secret work of the organization and if possible to see the goat in action." With a pair of scissors she removed a portion of the brick from the wall and took her position, so as to command a full view of every part of the next room. Thus she saw the first two degrees of Masonry, the full extent of the lodge business that night. From what she heard when the members were about to separate she felt trembling alive to the awkwardness and danger of her situation and began considering how she could retire without being caught. Groping around the dark room in her frightened condition she knocked against and overturned a chair. The crash was heard by the tiler of the lodge, who was in the lobby. He gave the alarm, burst open the door and with a light in one hand, and a drawn sword in the other, appeared before the now thoroughly frightened young woman. The tiler was immediately joined by the other members of the lodge. They for the most part were furious at the discovery that their proceedings had been overheard. Miss St. Leger was | placed under guard of the tiler and other members in the room in which she had been caught, while the lodge reassembled and its members deliber- < ated for two hours in hushed voices as to what her fate should be. At last the young woman was told that she would have to submit to the ordeal she had witnessed?the conferring of 1 two degrees?or remain a prisoner, j while the lodge again considered her case. , Miss St. Leger, nearly exhausted i with terror, yielded and was accord- i ingly initiated into the secrets of the j order. The other inmates of the house were in absolute ignorance of the affair until many weeks after- , wards, when they learned that the daughter of the house had become a Mason. This is the authentic account of the ; event as related in the history of the ( Masonic order." Worn Coins Legal Tender.?As everybody is frequently possessed of "slick" or smooth dimes or plugged, . mutilated and battered nickels, and either of these coins might be the last | in his possession, awkward results i might follow; so it is wise to learn if 1 the common carriers have any legal 1 right to refuse such coins. Most peo- { pie, says the Atlanta Constitution, have s had them refused at one time or an- ! other, and have never questioned the right of the person to whom they were ; tendered to reject them. But no one has any legal right to re- ^ ject such coins. The law of the land strictly defines what coins are to be '< rejected and the reason for the rejection, and the nickel and the dime are not Included. So long as the coin? whether it is a dime, a quarter, half dollar, dollar or a nickel or cent?is distinguished as a genuine United , States coin and its denomination can be ascertained, the fact of Its being slick or worn smooth doesn't count; it is good, lawful money, Is a legal tender, and no good citizen who respects the law should refuse It. Are "slick" silver coins good money and legal tender? Yes. Is the objection that they are worn smooth a legal objection to accepting them? No. Do shopkeepers who refuse them offend the law? Yes, for ignorance of the law is no excuse is a wellknown legal maxim. The idea of these shopkeepers that the dime or quarter worn smooth is t no good is just contrary to the decision of four courts?the jury court, the supreme court and the court of errors and appeals of the state of New Jersey, and later the supreme court of the United Stutes. I An Animal Story Por Little PolHs now the Rabbit Trap Worked | When the rabbit family strolled through the field one day they came across a trap that had been set to catch them. Mamma Rabbit and little Charlie Rabbit didn't know what it was, but Papa Rabbit did, for he had lost a first cousin through one of the things when he was quite a young fellow. "Don't go near it," he said to his family. "What is It?" asked Charlie Rabbit, sniffing around the sides, for he could ?w. HE PITCHED INTO JIMMY. smell the bunch of fresh celery with which the trap wa9 baited, and he was just dying to make a meal of it "It's a trap set to catch you by Jimmy Jones, the farmer's son. Jimmy's father likes rabbit meat, and Jimmy wants to please him, so he thought he would get us in his trap and give us to his father to eat. But instead of getting in we will wait out here until the farmer comes along and see what I ft uappciis. So they hid In the tall grass until they saw the farmer and his son coming across the field. Jimmy thought that by this time there must be something In his trap, so he said to his father: "Pop, I've got something for you over there In the grass. Go over and get It" "What Is It?" asked his father. "Never mind; you go over and see for yourself," said Jimmy, for he wanted to surprise his father. Mr. Jones walked along through the grass, but he didn't see the trap until the toe of his shoe struck It, and away he went heels over head on his nose on the ground. He scrambled to his feet, as mad as he could be, and reached out and grabbed Jimmy by the collar. "So you hid an old box In the grass for me to stumble over and hurt myself, did you?" he cried angrily. "Well, I'll teach jdu a little lesson that yon will never forget." And with that he pitched Into Jimmy and gave bim such a lambasting that he will never forget as long as he lives to tell the tale. And all the time the rabbit family sat over in the tall grass and snickered as they thought what a terrible fate they had escaped and how sorry little Jimmy must feel that he had ever trier' to catch them to make a meal for his father.?Chicago Tribune.
