|iumorou.s Department. He Couldn't Help It.?The funniest interview I ever had or heard of, relates Julian Ralph in his reminiscences, was when I was on the staff of the New York Sun. I had been sent to look up some one in a suburb of the the city. The address was a number on Fourth street; but, to my amazement, I found three such streets in the r?laee. The house I sought was not in I - w any of them. Tired and almost discouraged, I turned into a cobbler's shop, and seeing a bearded German bending over a last in the glare of a swinging lamp, I cleared my throat and said : "I beg your pardon ; but I am a reporter of The Sun ?" "Well, well," he said soothingly, before I could finish the sentence, "you cannot help dot." I could not continue for a full minute, so struck was I by the unexpected philosophy and wisdom of his reply. I could not help being a reporter, and I knew it. When I explained that I wanted an address on Fourth street, and had already been to three Fourth streets, and would like to know if there were any more, he lifted bis hammer and poised it in the air for half a minute. "You vant to know if dere is some more of dose Fourt' streets?" he asked. "Veil, I vill tell you. I haf live here dwenty years, tryiDg to find somedings owt, and I didn't fiud anydings owt yet." Breechless at the Ball.?The mayor of a provincial town recently gave a fancy dress ball, at which all the elite of the town were present. One worthy alderman, who was rather stout, wore a pair of tight breeches, and in the course of one of the dances he felt its seams giving way. Hastily seeking out his wife, be told her of bis dilemma and she. procuring a needle and thread, sought out an ante-rooui where she thought they would be free from intrusion while the breach was repaired. The worthy alderman had no sooner pulled off his breeches than two ladies came along the corridor, with the intention, as she supposed, of visiting the same room. Mrs. Alderman looked around the room for some place in which to hide her breechless spouse, and, openiug the first door she came to, she said : "Quick, John, go in here? there's two ladies coming." At the same time, pushing him through, she closed and bolted the door and turned to meet the intruders with a smiling face, when a loud knocking occurred on the other side of the door, and her V? nckn r.rl fnontinollv VP Hp.fi ' UUOUauu J ~ "Open the door! Open it quick ! I'm in the ballroom !"?The London Daily Telegraph. Made a Slight Mistake.?Before accepting an invitation it is as well to be sure it is given in good faith. After an afternoon service held many years ago in a certain village in Scotland, the preacher, a stranger, who had officiated, accompanied one of the elders of the congregation home, and was introduced to his wife. The good man having asked the clegyman to stay to dinner, the latter, after a little pressing, consented. The good lady hurried off to prepare for the unexpected guest, and seeing, as she thought, her husband washing, as was the custom in those days, at the family sink, she seized the family Bible, approached stealthily from behind and brought down the ponderous tome upou bis bald pate, exclaiming: "Tak' ye that for bringing hungry preachers here to dinner every time they come to tbe-parish." As soon as the assaulted one could cat the suds out of his eyes he looked about him, and after thiDkiDg the matter out, concluded that the old lady had made a slight mistake. She, too, came to the same conclusion when, on returning to the parlor, she beheld her husband patiently waiting for bis reverend friend! Greater Still.?At an agricultural show in Dublin a pompous member of parliament, who arrived late, found himself on the outskirts of a large crowd. Being anxious to obtain a good view for himself and some lady friends who accompanied bim, and, presuming that he was well-known to the spectators, he tapped a burly coal porter on the shoulder and peremptorily ordered : "Make way there !" "Who are ye pushin'?" was the unexpected response. "Do you kuow who I am, sir?" cried the indignant M. P. "I'm a representative of the people!" "Yah!" growled the porter; "but we're the bloomin' people themselves " Slightly Absentminded.?"Does your husband ever help you about taking care of the baby ?" was asked the wife of a young professor in a neighboring city. "Not often, though sometimes he does. Last evening he said he'd take Willie for an airing as he was going to walk down to the postoffice. Half an hour later I saw my husband sitting in the parlor reading a scientific magazine; but I could see nothing of the baby. " 'Where's Willie ? What have you done with him ?' I asked. " 'Why,' said the professor, 'I forgot all about him. I thick he is sitting iu the postoffice.' "?Detroit Free Press. Was Certainly Cool.?"I hope you are oue of the people who can keep cool in the presence of danger." "I am," answered the mau who wanted a place as private watchman. "Have you ever demonstrated it?"

Sit down here and let me give you a taste of the fleshpots of Egypt for 1 believe you have been actually fasting." So Felicia and tho bishop had an improvised lnnch. and the bishop, who, to tell the trnth, had not taken time for weeks to enjoy his meals, feasted on the delight of his unexpected discovery and | was able to express his astonishment and gratification at the quality of the cookery "I thought you would at least say It was as good a* the meals you used to get at the Auditorium at the big ba iquets," said Felicia slyly. " 'As good as I' The Auditorium banquets were simply husks compared to | this one, Felicia. But you must come j to the settlement. I want you to see what we are doing. And I am simply astonished to find you here earning your living this way. I begin to see what your plan is. You can be of infinite help to us. You don't really mean that you will live here and help these people to know the value of good food?" "Indeed I do," Felicia answered gravely. "That is my gospeL Shall I not follow it?" "Aye. aye I You're right Bless God for sense like yours. When I left the world"?the bishop smiled at the phrase ?"fViot- wore tallrinfr n cond deal about the 'new woman.' If yon are one of them, I am a convert right now and here." "Flattery still I Is there no escape from it even in the slums of Chicago?" Felicia laughed again, and the bishop's heart, heavy though it had grown during several months of vast sin bearing, rejoiced to hear it. It sounded good. It was good. It belonged to God. [ Felicia wanted to visit the settlement and went back with the bishop. She was amazed at the results of what considerable money and a good deal of consecrated brains had done. As they walked through the building they talked incessantly. Felicia was the incarnation of vital enthusiasm. Even the bishop wondered at the exhibition of it as it bubbled up and sparkled over They went down into the basement, and the bishop pushed open the door, from behind which came the sound of a carpenter's plane. It was a small but well equipped carpenter's shop. A young man with a paper cap on his head and clad in blouse and overalls was whistling and driving the plane as he whistled. He looked up as the bishop and Felicia entered and took off his cap. As he did so his little finger carried a Bmall curling shaving up to his hair, and it caught there. "Miss sterling. Mr. stepnen v^iyae. said the bishop. "Clyde is one of our helpers here two afternoons in the week." Just then the bishop was called up stairs, and he excused himself for a moment. leaving Felicia and the young carpenter together. "We have met before." said Felicia, looking at Clyde frankly. "Yes. 'back in the world.' as the bishop says." replied the young man, and his fingers trembled a little as they lay on the board he had been planing. "Yes." Felicia hesitated. "I am very glad to see you." "Are you?" The flush of pleasure mounted to the young carpenter's forehead. "You have had a great deal of trouble since?then?" he said, and then he was afraid he had wounded her or called up painful memories, but Felicia had lived over all that "Yes. and you also. How is it you are working here?" "It is a long story. Miss Sterling My father lost his money, and I was obliged to go to work, a very good thing for me. The bishop says I ought to be grateful. I am. I am very happy now I learned the trade hoping some time to be of use. I am night clerk at one of the hotels. That Sunday morning when you took the pledge at Nazareth Avonno r?Vinrr>h T tnnlr it Trith tho nt.hora ' "Did you?" said Felicia 6lowly "1 am glad." Just then the bishop came back, and very soon he and Felicia went away, leaving the young carpenter at his work. Some one noticed that he whistled louder than ever as he planned. "Felicia." said the bishop, "did you know Stephen Clyde before?" "Yes. 'back in the world.' dear bishop He was one of my acquaintances in Nazareth Avenue church." "AhI" said the bishop. "We were very good friends." added Felicia "But nothing more?" the bishop ventured to ask. Felicia's face glowed for an instant. Then she looked the bishop in the eyes frankly and answered: "Truly and truly, nothing more." "It would be just the way of the world for those two people to come to like each other, though." thought the bishop to himself, and somehow the thought made him grava It was almost like the old pang over Camilla, but it passed, leaving him afterward, when Felicia had gone back, with tears in his eyes and a feeling that was al most hope that Felicia and Stephen would like each other. ' 'After all,'' said the bishop, like the sensible, good man that he was, "is not romunce a part of humanity? Love is older than lam and wiser." The week following the bishop had an experience that belongs to this part of the settlement's history. He was coming back to the settlement very late from some gathering of the striking tailors and was walking along, with his hands behind him, when two men jumped out from behind an old fence that shut off an abandoned factory from the street and faced him. One of the men thrust a pistol into the bishop's face, and the other threatened him with a ragged stake that had evidently been torn from the fence. "Hold up your hands, and be quick about it!" said the man with the pistoL The place was solitary, and the bishop had no thought of resistance He did as he was commanded, and the man with the stake began to go through his pocketa The bishop was calm. His nerves' did not quiver. As he stood there with his arms uplifted an ignorant spectatormight have thought that he was praying for the souls of these two men. And he was, and his prayer was singularly answered that very night TO BE CONTINUED. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. Summary of the News That In Being Published by Exchanges.

How the Boers Captured Two Crack Regiments and a Mountain Battery. The report from Holland, by way of Berlin, to the effect that General White's army was captured at Ladysmith on Monday, although somewhat exaggerated, had considerable foundation in fact. The Irish Fusiliers, Gloucestershire regiment and the Tenth Mouutain battery, including some 1,500 men, or about one-sixth of the British army at Ladysmitb, fell into the hands of the Boers with all their arms, ammunition and mules. The story is interesting and shows that the Boers are not only good marksmen ; but brave fearless soldiers, and that their officers know a thing or two about military strategy. To General Joubert belongs the credit of having outwitted General White. As already related, afted the fighting at Glencoe, Dundee and Elandslaagte, the British retreated through showers of raiu over stiff muddy roads to Ladysmith, where after six days of heartbreaking work they arrived pretty well exhausted. General Joubert made no ta otvil/a tKo onomu nn thp rp. CUV/I t> IV Oil ii\v vuv vuvuij vu %MW w treat; but followed pretty close behiod, and soon after the British established themselves in Ladysmitb, the Boers appeared on a range of hills some five miles distant, and began to plant their artillery at advantageous points, so occupying themselves from Saturday un til Monday morning. General White had already gotten a yery good idea of the Boer positions, which occupied a frontage of about 16 miles, and he commenced Sunday night the development of a plan by wbicb he hoped to put the enemy to rout. All of his available forces were 3ent forward at about midnight. As seen from a balloon on Sunday afternoon, the Boers were very strong on the right and centre and weaker on the left. Therefore, General White 3ent the Gloucestershire regiment, the Irish Fusiliers and Mountain battery No. 10, against the left, three regiments of cavalry, four batteries of artillery and 6ve battalions of infantry against the right, while he proceeded against the centre with three batteries of artillery, two regiments of cavalry and four battalions of infantry. While the British forces were marching forward in the order named, two 40 pounders that had been planted by the Boers in their centre opened up on Ladysmitb. The British artillery just without Ladysmitb replied. The Brit i^li Kdiifli'ir mull nrpapnt.lv rft-infoTCed 1?" J "? i-- J by some loog range naval guns thai had been brought up from the British cruiser Powerful, anchored at Durban, and after a few shots from these the Boer guus dropped into silence. It was supposed that they had been knocked out; but later developments showed that the Boers had only temporarily withdrawn them for the purpose of creating that very impression. When the central division of the British under General White reached the destination for which it had set out, it found no enemy at all; but heavy firing on the right showed that the Boers had concentrated against the strongest division that had been sent against them there. Couriers came from General French, who had command of the right wing, for help, and General White sent the Gordon Highlanders, the Manchester regiment and the Ride brigade, and retaining under his own command only the Devonshire regiment, a squadron of mounted infantry and the field hospital corps. The fighting was terrific for an hour or two, and at length General White deemed it advisable to withdraw. Upon this the Boer artillery began to make the situation extremely hot, and the Boer infantry and cavalry closing in behind, made the British hustle back toward Ladysmith at a very lively rate. On open spaces, especially, the British suffered heavily. While the events related were taking place on the right, the correspondents said that there could be heard heavy firing on the left, where the J "TV. Gloucestershire regiment ana lnsn r usiliers were supposed to be engaged ; but nothing definite came from these two regiments until a hospital orderly from one of them entered Ladysmith under a flag of truce and announced that he had been sent to ask assistance in the work of burying the British dead. In this manner, General White learned that he had lost fully 1,500 of as good soldiers as there were in his army by capture. About 3 o'clock the big guns that had given so much trouble in the morning, again began throwing shells into Ladysmith, and the artillery duel was opened again. ONLY ONE LEFT. ACT QUICK!

Because an individual returned the name of a certain subscriber last year, is no reason why he should have any claim upon that subscriber this year.

TWO SIX MONTHS SUBSCRIBERS at 81 each, will be considered the equivalent of one yearly subscriber at 81.75 and so counted.
