Said he: "While I've heard of a b great many funny typographical breaks c in my time, about the oddest and most f humorous transposition of types that v ever came to my observation was that v in a New York paper some years ago. ^ The paper used to print its shipping news on the same page with the obit- a uaries. Imagine the glee witn which its readers found the captions chauged ! one morning, a long list or respecuiDie i names being set forth antler the ma rlne head. Tassed Through Hell Gate Yesterday *" Very Thoughtful of Him. A young gentleman who lives some- j where west of Euclid village and a bit east of the square has always been noted for his good breeding, and. though as a college student he has j sometimes been a trifle worse for late hours, he has never forgotten his code. A few weeks ago he made a determined effort to enter a dwelling which he firmly believed to be his own. He -was met at the door by an angry man In pajamas, who told him that he had ? made a grievous mistake and. further- f more, requested him not to make so _ much noise, because his (the householder's) wife was very M- Our friend * made abject and ample apologies and departed. His own home eluded him ? again, however, and In a few minutes he was knocking at the same door. J The worried man in pajamas again descended. * "1 told you before that this to my ? house!" he shouted angrily. "And I * told you that my wife is 111. What do you mean by coming back here?" ? "I rememb'r perfly what you told * me about your sick house an' your own ; dear wife," answered the wayfarer sol amnly. even tearfully. "And 1 couldn't + sleep thin kin' about 'em. 1 came back to ask if they are better."?Cleveland \ Plain Dealer. * Scotch Consolation. * A story is told of a canny Scot who dealt in old horses, alternating his I pells of labor with heavy sprees. During the period of depression which followed each overindulgence John habitually took to bed and there diligently studied the family Bible. During one of these fits of attempted reformation his condition prompted his wife to call in the Rev. Mr. Wallace, the parish minister, who at the time happened to be passing. V "Oh. Maister Wallace, come in and & see oor John. He's rale bad." "What's wrang wf him?' BW "lie's feart to meet his Makker," said Mrs. John. ^ Quick as fire came the crushing reI Ply: I "Humph!

One evening after dinner It was suggested that the din- 1 v ers while away the early evening In Bl speechmaking. When Twain's turn arrived he arose and delivered a charHg acteristic address. When the senator ? was culled upon to speak, however, he ' Y Jiade an evasion. | "It was understood." he said, "that j Sir.

While strolling about the deck the j \ following morning Mark Twain was stopped by an Englishman, who said , to him rather confidentially: \ -i hare always beard that Senator * Depew was a remarkably clever fel> low, but really what wretched drivel j i ef his It was yon were compelled to j 1 t recite last nl^ht" ' [ The Lunrheo- a Poet.
