Diplomacy.-?Smith and Jones looked
much alike and are frequently
mistaken for each other, says the St.
lxtuis Post-Dispatch. One day Smith
was in a certain big hotel and went
in the dining room for dinner. The
negro waiter busily brushed off the
crumbs and said:
"Why, how is you, Mr. Jones?how
is you? I's glad to see you. I hasn't
seen you since I waited on your table
when you all used to have a little
srame upstairs."
"I am afraid you are mistaken," said
Smith very quickly. "My name isn't
Jones. You have the wrong man."
"'Nuff said; 'nuff said," smiled the
negro, with much bowing and scraping.
"Ah knows all right when to
keep mah mouf shet. Ah knows all
right, Mr. Jonea"
Had His Suspicions,?While Comiskey
was in England with the worldtouring
baseballists, he and several
friends were conducted through an
ancient cathedral by a typical British
guide and caretaker.
"Behind the altar," he said, "lies
Richard 11. In the churchyard outside
lies Mary Queen of Scots. And
who," halting above an unmarked
daggering in the stone floor and addressing
Comiakey?"who do you
think, sir, is a-lying 'ere on his
spot?"
"Well," answered the Chicago magnate,
"1 don't know for sure, but 1
have my suspiciona"?Judge.
Something New,?The alfalfa delegate
was paying his first visit to a city
of any size. Standing along the sidewalk,
he chanced to see a sprinkling
cart coming down the street, and no
sooner had he set eyes on the thing
than he began to laugh like the boy at
a minstrel show.
"Say, old pal!" he remarked hilariously,
punching a cop in the ribs,
"don't that just beat all?"
"Don't what beat all?" responded the
wondering cop. "What's the Joke?"
"Just look at that reuer on inai
wa^on!" replied the alfalfa party,
pointing to the sprinkler. "That denied
chump won't have a drop of water
left by the time he gets home."
Reason For It.?Two Irishmen were
digging a hole for drainage. One was
over six feet in height, and the other
not much over live feet.
The foreman came along presently
to see how the work was progressing,
and noticed that one of them was doing
more work than the other. So he
called down to the big fellow below
in the trench:
"Look here, Pat, how is it that little
Mickey Dugan, who is only about half
as big as you, is doing twice as much
work?"
Glancing down at the diminitive
Mickey, Pat replied:
"And why shouldn't he? Ain't he
nearer to it?"
Dumat'i Pedigree.?Old Dumas was
just as little ashamed of the colored
blood in his veins as was his son, says
the Baltimore American. A troublesome
man was boring him about his
origin. "Your father, Mr. Dumas, was
the offspring of a white Frenchman)
and a negress."
"Yes monsieur."
"Your grandfather and grandmother
on the mother's side must have been
coal black."
"Oui, monsieur."
"And your great-grandfather, Mr.
Dumas?"
"He was a monkey, monsieur. My
pedigree begins where yours end."
ate sympathy with nature's most incarnate
aspirations among the skytopping
mountains and the dim aisles
of the horiaon-topped forests, my
good man?"
"Oh, yes," responded the apparent
backwoodsman, "and I am also frequently
drawn into an exultation of
rapt soulfulness and beatific incandescent
infinity of abstract contiguity
when my horse stumblea"
"Indeed," said the young lady,
much surprised. "I had no idea that
the lower classes felt like that."
Why It Was,?Six-year-old returned
from hia first day at Sunday school
very proud that he had learned the
song that the children sang, as they
marched in to the assembly room.
"What was the song?'" asked the
fond parent of orthodox persuasion.
"Onward, Christian Science!"
Pr*ttv Soft.?"Seems to me that the
lawyers have It easy in life."
"Why so?"
"The rest of us have to surmount
our own obstacles. But if a lawyer
strikes one he applies to some judge
and has it set aside."
How He Escaped.?Payton?How
have you escaped being operated upon?
Parker?Well, the doctors haven't
fancied me poor enough for experimentation
or rich enough for a desirable
subject.?Life.
An Example.?"Now, Tommy," said
the teacher, "you may give an ex|
ample of a coincidence."
I "Why, er?" said Tommy, with
K some hesitation. "Why?me fadder and
I mudder was both married on de same
| day " _
A Big Order.?Old Lady?Would you
' , give me one of them things you regulate
the heat of the room with?
Druggist?A thermometer, you
mean?
Old Lady?Yes. and set it at 65;
that's what the doctor said to keep the
room at.
Plastered.?As he crawled out of the
wreck of his auto a solicitous friend
asked:
"Are you covered?"
"Yes," he said, sadly, "with mud,
blood, chargin and insurance. Is that
enough?"
Had Some Experience.?"My crossexamination

Representative Lever called at the
state department this week, says a
Washington dispatch of December 14,
to the Anderson Daily Mail, and urged
upon Secretary Lansing and Counsellor
Polk the importance of having
every effort made through diplomatic
channels to enable this country to receive
sufficient potash for agricultural
purposes during the next crop
year. Beginning last summer, Mr.
Lever has repeatedly urged the vital
importance of the potash situation
upon Secretary of Agriculture Houston,
because he realizes that In some
sections of the south it is impossible
to grow a full crop of cotton without
potash, and this is particularly true
of the sand-belt districts. Mr. Lever
suggested to Secretary Lansing and
Mr. Polk the advisability of the creation
of some kind of joint commission
composed of representatives of the
several countries most directly interested,
which commission should be
authorized to work out the details of
a plan by which Germany might ship
potash to this country and at the
same time be assured by this country
that such potash would not be
used in the manufacture of munitions
of war. Mr. Lever said he was
not at liberty to disclose what had
been said to him, beyond the bare
statement that he found those in authority
at the state department "fully
alive to the importance of the situation."

likely be weeks before the peanutloving,
old friend of our circus days,
would cease to cumber the landscape.
Now there is a small insect, known
as the sexton beetle, who in a few
hours, can accomplish a task, in proportion

They call him the sexton, from a
strange habit he has of burying the
body of small birds, or small animals.
He is only about an inch long, and is
a very cheerful appearing little fellow,
brisk in his movement, and, always
in the biggest kind of a hurry.
He wears a sweater of black and
orange, rather an inappropriate garb
for one of his calling. Where he
stays when out of a job, no one
knows. He never loafs?is never seen
just hanging around, in that aimless
sort of a way, so common with many
of his beetle cousins. When not at
work he disappears?just simply fades
out of sight, until a hurry call comes
in, and presto! Here he is!''
If you want to see a sexton beetle

satisfied himself as to the character
of the proposition he is to tackle, he
disappears under the body and, at
once begins work.

wireless, his two or three assistants,
shortly arrive, one by one, and without
delay work themselves out of
sight, beneath the carcass of the
mouse. They do not dig a hole, as

in and then cover with earth. Their

DARWIN AND CHRISTIANITY
Lady Hope Says Great Scientist Was |
a Believer.
Lady Hope, a British woman of title,
well known in religious circles for
her lifelong activity In Christian work,
has been spending considerable time
in this country, attending the Billy
Sunday meetings, the Northfield con- i
ferences, and other similar gather- i
ings. To a prayer meeting in Northfield
she told a remarkable story concerning
her personal experiences with
Charles Darwin that is so at variance
with the popular conception of the
great naturalist's religious beliefs
that Lady Hope was asked to write
down her story for the WatchmanExaminer.
According to the recollection
of Lady Hope, Darwin in his later
years was a devoted Bible student
and an outspoken believer in Christ.
Darwin, it will be remembered, set
out to study for holy orders in the
Church of England and completed his
course in Cambridge university. His
mind was of a scientific bent, how- j
ever, and he welcomed the opportunity
to go on The Beagle to the South
Seas, where he spent five years pursuing
his investigations and gathering
the scientific data on which his subsequent
revolutionary works were
based. i
During the two years which elapsed
between the return of The Beagle i
and his marriage he pondered the i
subject of religion seriously, so that
to use his own words, "Disbelief
crept over me at a very slow rate,
but it was at last complete." That
he never felt prepared to have his po
sition on religion quoted in controversy
upon the general subject is
clear from the following extract from
one biography:
"His attitude was that of the tolerant,
unaggressive agnostic, sympathizing
with and helping in the social
and charitable influences of the Eng- 1
lish church in his parish. He was 1
evidently most unwilling that his I
opinions on religious matters should I
influence others, holding, as his son,
Francis Darwin, says, 'That a man
ought not to publish on a subject to .
which he has not given special and
continuous thought"
Lady Hope's Story.
What Darwin thought toward the
close of his life is thus reported by
Lady Hope, in her written statement:
"It was one of those glorious autumn
afternoons that we sometimes
enjoy in England, when I was asked
to go in and sit with the well-known
Professor Charles Darwin. He was
almost bedridden for some months
before he died. I used to feel when
I saw him that his fine presence would
make a grand picture for our Royal
Academy, but never did I think so
more strongly than on this particular
occasion.
"He was sitting up in bed, wearing
a soft embroidered dressing-gown
of rather a rich purple shade.
"Propped up by pillows he was gazing
out on a far-reaching scene of
lingers twitched nervously, and a look
Dl agony came over his face as he
jaid:
" 1 was a young man with unformed
ideas. 1 threw out queries, suggestions,
wondering all the time over
everything; und to my astonishment,
the ideas took like wildtire. People
made a religion of them.'
"Then he paused, and after a few
more sentences on 'the holiness of
Uod,' and 'the grandeur of this Book,'
looking at the Bible, which he was
nolaing tenderly all the time, he suddenly
said:
'1 have a summer-house in the
garden which holds about thirty people.
It is over there,' pointing through
the open window. 'I want you very
much to speak there. I know you
read the Bible in the villages. Tomorrow
afternoon 1 should like the
servants on the place, some tenants,
and a few of the neighbors here to
gather there. Will you speak to
them?'
" 'What shall 1 speak about?' 1
asked.
" 'Jesus Christ,' he replied in a
clear, emphatic voice, adding in a
lower tone, 'and his salvation. Is not
that the best theme? And then 1
want you to sing some hymns with
them, you lead on your small instrument,
do you not?'
"The wonderful look of brightness
and animation on his face as he said
this I shall never forget, for he j
added:
" 'If you take the meeting at 3
o'clock the window will be open, and
you will know that I am joining in
with the singing."
"How I wish I could have made a
picture of the fine old man and his
beautiful surroundings on that memorable
day!"
Huxley, Too, Sought Faith.
Professor Huxley, the most celebrated
champion of Darwin's theory
of natural selection, has commonly
been rated among the opponents of
Christianity. Not long ago, Rev. Dr.
Cornelius Woelfkin, a well known
Baptist clergyman of New York city,
told a company of Philadelphia minister
a story concerning Huxley's interview
with a well-known Christian
layman. He asked the Christian
worker to tell him all about his religious
experiences and belief.
The man demurred, for he said he
was no controversialist or learned
theologian. Professor Huxley protested
that he wanted only the man's
own story. So they talked intimately,
the man telling simply what Jesus
unnst meant 10 nun. as mey utineu
Professor Huxley arose and walked
up and down the veranda, stopping
from time to time to ask keen questions
of his friend.
At last he confronted the man, and
in a voice filled with emotion, declared,
"I would give my right arm if
I were able to believe as you do, and
to have your experience." After
Borne further words to the effect that
his scientific life had Incapacitated
him for simple faith. Huxley withdrew,
leaving a profound impression
of his spirltcal yearning and dissatisfaction
upon the mind of his friend.?
Religious Rambler.
Not Stingy.?Did you give your son
a liberal education, Mr. Tite?"
"Well, I don't know as you'd call it
liberal exactly, but there wasn't a
month passed while he was in college
that I didn't send him two or three
dollars."
