A well known actor was taking din ner at a, fashionable Chicago hotel when a young man came in and sat down at the same table. Etc apparent ly recognized the actor, for after gaz ing at him intently for a couple of minutes he pulled a two dollar bill ostentatiously from a large roll and. ?boring it across tbc table, remarked: "I akvays feel as If I had to pay to see a famous innn. don't you know." The ?'famous man" calmly tore the two dollar bill lu half and returned one section to the 3'oung mnn. "Children hall* price," be observed composedly. ??????? Chaos In Knowledge. And so. l any it most confidently, the first intellectual tusk of our age is rightly to order and make serviceable the vast realm of printed material which four centuries have swept across our path. To organise our knowledge, to systematize our reading, to save out of the relentless cataract of ink the immortal thoughts of the greatest, this i is a necessity unless the productive in genuity of man is to lead ok at last to a. measureless and pathless chaos. To know anything that turns up is in the infinity of knowledge; to know nothing To read the first book we come across in the wilderness of books is to learn nothing. To turn over tbc pages of ten thousand volumes is to be prac tically indifferent to ail that is good.? Frederic Harrison. Got His Fees. A quaint character was Sagar. the verger of Halifax parish church. On one occasion a bridegroom after the service said that he had no money with which the pay the verger's fees. Sogar went to the bride iu his most winsome way and asked her: "Hast ever seen l>lnc-k Wbles? We've a rare lot on 'em in this 'ere vestry." "No." she replied, not having the faintest idea of what a Black Bible was. "Coom along. I'll show yer them." Fie lured her into the inner vestry. "There's the Bibles." he said, point ing to them, locked up as they were in a bookcase with glass pauels, of which he bad not the key. "Wait awhile till I coom back." Mo tu rued the key of the vestry on the bride anil, going to the bridegroom, said. "Lass is all right, but you'll no have her till you have paid." The bridegroom hastily dug up. Danger Assured. An Englishman was invited by a Xew Yorker to accompany him on a hunting trip on Long Island. "Large or small gnmeV" laconically asked the Briton, who has hunted in every quarter of the globe. "You don't expect to find lions and ligers on Long Island, do you?-' que ried the New Yorker. "Hardly." responded the'Briton, with a laugh, "but 1 like a snide of danger in my hunting." "If that's the case." answered the other, with a grin. "I'm your man. all right. The last time I went out I shot my brother-in-law in the leg!"?Har per's Weekly.
