It was till* class ia i :ii> :'.e.-on 1 !:<? :**
er. and little Willie had just Ween e.dl
ed upon to rise and take up the read
in>; where Martha had left o!T. Willie
standing at attention, his book held in
the proper position Ik*fore liita. clutch 1
ed the corner of his desk with his free
hand, swallowed hard and read:
"" * .1Cti.i.
" 1 Ills is ii warm uifii^iuiiii. ph'i'
on It."
"What!" fr^nped the teacher. "Willie.
that Is in? correct. Head it ajraln." 1
Willie did. with til? same result.
Moreover, lie maintained stoutly that
that was what his hook said.
So the teacher had hira brinji it to I
her. Perhaps there had been a misprint.

But this is what the teacher read in I
Willie's book: "This is a worm. Do I
not step on it."

The Defect In His Dressing. 1
The prolessor of surgery in one of l
England's universities has the reputa- 1
tion of being one of the most painstak- <
ing and delicate operators in Itritain. i
thoughtful of tlie patient and careful <
In the clinic. One day in the course of <
a clinical demonstration he turned to a i
student who had just commenced his '
studies with Hie question: '
"Now. sir. can you tell me what is
wrong with my dressing?"
The ingenuous youth turned red and
preserved a discreet silence. The pro- '
fessor. however, was "not to be put off '<
and repeated tlie question. After a I
long pause tiie youth stammered out in <
a fit of desperation: '
"\Yp11 sir if von insist on mv telling '
you. I should say your tie Is a little off 1
color and is not quite straight."
As Others See Us.
One incident of the days of Appoinat- 1
tox General Fltzhugh Lee always i
loved to tell. After the terms of the <
surrender had been agreed upon he i
started out to find the headquarters of j i
bis former brigade. About dusk he | i
came u[>ou a handful of soldiers, the i
scattered remnants of a Texas regi- <
ment that had the evening before been i
cut to pieces at Sailor's creek, the last |
battle of the war.
Hello, pardner!" called out a ragged 1
private, not observing General Lee's ]
insignia of rank in the duck. "What's j
the news?"
"General Lee has surrendered." re- ; ,
plied Fitzhngh Lee.
"Oh. go 'long! What you talkin' j '
about?" exclaimed the soldier incredu- !
louslv. "General Lee ain't nevergoin' i 1
to surrender, von hear?"
"l.ut I teil y >n he h is." insisted Gen
oral Fif/lii-'i 1 ? lie arranged the
terms of surrender with General Grant
today."
"Look here, son." said the veteran:
"don't you let any o* these here soldiers
he foolin' you. Ef there's any General
Leo surrendered it ain't our General
Hob: it's that doggnned Fitz Lee!"

Now. It was not an unusual tiling In
those days for some college friend to
arrive with little or no notice at the
manse and he greeted by his Christian

On the day on which Dr. Kyle's wire
was received I was from home. Returning
at night I found active preparations
for a coining .truest and. on inquiry.
was shown the wire.
It read. "Isaac will arrive in a few
hours."
The Conversation Was Short.
A very modest young woman boarded
a street ear one day and sat dow n
beside a smart looking little chap,
whose big eyes were busy taking in
the sights as the car moved swiftly
toward the center of town. They hail

down at the little fellow and. smiling.
said. "May I ask who you are. my
little man?"
The little fellow turned his head anil
n a very dignified manner replied. "I
mi Mr. Samuel It. Brown, thank you.'
mkI turned liis eyes to the sights again.
The little fellow's manner aroused
lie lady's interest, so she again called
the ehap's attention and said, "Well.
Mr. Samuel It. Brown. how old are
roil, if I may ask?"
Again the little fellow turned his
lead from the sights and. looking the
ivoman square in the eyes. said. "I am
four, thank you. ITow old are you?"

In a hark woods lived a farmer who.
ilthnugh lie had never seen a railroad,
ret had his opinion of them and the
inisi hiof which tie understood they
night cause. According to his notion,
i train was as much to he dreaded as
i cyclone itself, (treat, then, was his
-oustemotion upon learning that a
iglit of way for a railroad was wanted
hrmigh his farm. lie swore "by hickiry"
that no money could buy it. Finally
land enough for the purpose was
condemned and the road built. The
lay the nrsr train was to pass the
neighbors, knowing of the old fellow's
opposition, persuaded hi u nevertheless
:o go with them to see it. As the train
lisappeared some one said. "You see.
Bill, it didn't hurt anything after all."

A somewhat parsimonious couple in
Edinburgh invited a friend to dine with
them on a Monday, and when the joint
was laid on the table it proved to be
the remains of Sunday's roast heated
up. whereupon the guest remarked
(hat this appeared to be "an" auld
frien' with a pew face." This, however.

to the fare provided, and upon depart
inyr he said. "Well. good iugui; i >e
had an enjoyable evening, and you
have always the eonsolaticu that It
hasna cost you much."
Too Much Suspence.
"Why did you shoot the man's dog?"
fisked the justice of a western court,
according to the Portland Oregoniau.
"lie says the animal is perfectly quiet
and never disturbs any one."
"Well, no." admitted the defendant.
' I've never heard him how! in all his
life, but he always looked as if he
was just going to. lie would come
out into the yard a dozeu times at
night. squat down, look at the moon,
draw his breath, open his mouth and
tlx himself for a howl from here to
Jericho, then change his mind, crawl
under the porch and go to sleep. No;
1 never heard him howl, hut the suspense
was killing me."

i HE WAS QUITE SOCIABLE.
First He Charmed arid Then Startled
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
It is related that Ualplt Waldo Emj
erson was once on his way to Califor*
; nia when he was joined by a man who
was altogether so sociable and chatty
that an otherwise tedious Journey was
) rendered quite cheerful.
: This man's name was Sackett. and
; he told Mr. Emerson that he resided in
i San Francisco. Mr. Sackett^imlieated
all the points of Interest along the way.
[ related a lot of amusing anecdotes and.
best of all. was also tin attentive listener.
The consequence was that Mr. Em
erson came to the conclusion that .Mr.
Sackett was as charming a man us he
had ever met. and it was in this positive
conviction that lie accepted Mr.
Sackett's invitation to dine with him
immediately upon their arrival in San
I Francisco.
The next morning Mr. Emerson was
| astonished and annoyed to lirnl in all
, the local papers this startling persona'
j notice: "Professor Italph Waldo Emer
I son. the eminent pliilosopner. seuoiar
j and poet. is in our city as tin* guest of
| .1. Saekett. tin' well known proprietor
of the Hush street dime museum. Mat!

Deeds That Count.
To do an evil notion is base: to do
a good action without inclining dan
ger is common enough, but it is tinpart
of a good man to do great and
noble deeds, though he risks everything.?
Plutarch.

An organist had drawn up the order
; of a Sunday service, and it was in type
J ready for printing when the death of
j an important personage made a change
' necessary. The organist telephoned
to tlie printer and instructed him to
; change tlie postlude to "Funeral March
! by Chopin." This is what lie found at
i the cud of tlie list when he arrived at
I the church: "A few remarks by Chn
j pin."
Wanted His Dues.
A reservation Indian in the old days
was disconsolate over the breaking of
his ax handle. lie laid his misfortune
before tbe "farmer" of the reservation,
who. through pity, took a new handle

to the ax. Tlir farmer tlu-n noticed
that the ax was shockingly dull. So.
motioning the owner t<> turn t!ie grindstone.
he expended a half hour's time
! in sharj ening the blade. When the rohahiiitaled
ax was given to tlie Indian
i he was childishly gleeful, and he look.
ed at it admiringly. Imt still lingered
about, indicating by his actions that
some feature of the transaction had
not been adjusted.
The farmer was a little annoyed and
called to an interpreter. "Ask the old
fellow what he wants now." he directed.
After an exchange of grunts and ges
litres the interpreter announced. "He
I wants L'o cents."
"Twenty-live rents! What for?"
"For turning the grindstone."
A Big Handkerchief.
I>r. I'nul Flirlieh. the famous tierman
scientist, had a habit In his younger
days, says Mr. Wile in "Men Around
the Kaiser." of collecting any pieces
of old linen he found about the house
with which to clean Ids scieutitic instruments.
his microseope slides, and
so on (.'a stuff shirts and old handkerchiefs
were liis specialties, and lie used
to stuff them all into Ids capacious
pockets so .as to have them handy
whenever he required them.
At a public lecture one hot day I>r.
Flirlich perspired freely and. wanting
to mop his brow, lie put his hand into
the nearest pocket and grasped what
i>" 'iimmiit t.i ln? n handkerchief. lie
tugged and tugged. and it came out
and came out until he had exposed to
the full view of his astonished audience
a complete nightgown belonging
to his wife.
