ni Timed Humor.
Dr. Frederick Van Eedeu. the Dutch
physician and author, always kept in
sight the injustice of fate that subjects
the poor to tortures from which
the rich are exempt. He told the following
bitter little anecdote/ which
occurred during his student days in
? Amsterdam:
Once a poor man was brought in
affected with a very strange and rare
|; disease of the spiae that caused him.
by involuntary spasms of the legs, to
jump and to continue hopping when he
tried to stand on his legs. Our professor
wanted to show this to his sto.Honfc
And he reauested the patient te
stand on his feet The poor man
looked at the crowd around and said
With a pathetic, imploring look:
"If the gentlemen will please not
laugh." The processor promised they
would be serious. ,
And yet when the man began to
hop the "gentlemen" roared.. And I
felt the tears come to my eyes and
my fists close in my pockets.?World's

A Greenland Duel.
It is rather a pity for the gayety of
nations that French men of.letters
cannot fight their duels as duels are
J fought in Greenland. In Greenland
when one man has been insulted by
ahother the adversaries each compose
f v a satire in verse. This each mfcn recites
to his household until the servants
and the* women know it by
heart Then a place of meeting is appointed.
The two pen, the. insulter
and Insulted, the offender and offended,
stand face to face, and each recites his
poem. His friends and servants form
a chorus. Each man tries hard to

day when h<* met Louis Browniow, the
magazine writer.
"Louis," ?iid Lewis solemnly, "listen
to mo?for taree hours."
"Why, wtiat's the matter?" asked
Browniow.
"Why," said Lewis Indignantly, "I've
been In this town an day, and everybody
else has been doing the talking.
I do love my little conversationr
Browniow went to luncheon with
him and, after doing a sprint in long
distance listening, pulled out bis watch

Each man speaks in turn, whipping
the enemy with epigram and quip,

battle the meering gives the victory

Colorec His Sermons.
"A minister tas got to be alive and
resourceful today," said a deacon of a
big metropolitan church. ^'Ours finds
he can't speak well extemporaneously,
and he reads from a typewritten copy.
I never knew bow he managed to
preach so effectively until one day I
happened to see his manuscript Half
of it was under lined in different colors.
It looked so curious that 1 asked him
about it
"'A little scheme of mine,' he said
laughingly. 'I found I was delivering
'what I had-written in the same tone.
So now, early on' Sunday morning, I
go over the copy I carry into the pulpit
I keep cruyon pencils of six different
colors on my desk. Red means
one tone, green yet another, yellow and
blue yet others. As I turn each page
I see at a glance just how I am to
speak.'"?New York Sun.

Secret Societies.
Secret societies are so ancient that
nm'm'n ic inct in thp mists of the
UiC-ll AW *VW A?
past They existed in Egypt Persia,
/ India, at the earliest times with
which history or leg. ad gives us any
insight It seems to be natural for
men to organize such societies for both
. good and evil purposes. Nearly all the
ancient religions were of a two faced
character, pcpular and secret, or, as
they are called, "esoteric" and "exoteric^
the first for the few, the initiated.
the second for the rank and
file. The philosophers would teach one
thing to the masses of the people and
another to the select few who made up
the 'inner circle." Cicero tells us that
the wise men of Borne and Greece believed
quite differently from the common
run of Greeks and Romans.
