KINCSTREE,
THE HOMELY MAN.
There It a Differenco Between Him
Here ar.d In England.
"The different use of the same
! words in England and America," '
said the returned tourist, "is sometimes
amusing, sometimes bewildering,
and occasionally, as I have
found it, embarrassing. During mv !
i sojourn in the British isles I found
myself one evening in the quaint '
old town of Warwick and very much 1
in need of a square meal. Not being
familiar with the place, I step- 1
ped into a drug store, or chemist's,
OQ +h nu noli if f/\ ninlrn inntiirino I
The proprietor looked me over.
" 'Well,' he said, 'if you want ho- !
tel faro, go up to the Arms, but if
you're looking for a place where a
homely man can get his shilling's
worth go right across the street/ indicating
a little restaurant.
"My good looks are not my
strongest point, but I don't know
that I ever had their absence so
forcibly brought home to me?at
least by a stranger. I must have .
regarded mv informant with some .
interest. 'Thank you,' I said, 'and
supposing I were a beauty, where
would I go?'
"The English aren't overquick to
see a point, and it took him at least '
half a minute to begin to smile.
The relaxation of his countenance j
ended in a laugh.
" 'Bless you/ he said, 1 wasn't
referring to your face, but to j*our
tastes. I fancied you were a man
who wanted plain food, and plenty
of it. Homely here means home
loving, substantial folks/ ^
"So" we arrived at a satisfactory
understanding, and later, I am glad
to sav, I had a satisfactory meal. .
But on thinking it over afterward }
it impressed itself upon me that
my friend the chemist hadn't explicitly
denied the construction that *
I hastily p'.'t upon his adjective."?

j The Rfv. Dr. J. 0. Pock, once *
pastor of Trinity Methodist church, 1
was not only fond of a good horse, '
but of a good joke, and he could
preach a good sermon. One year 1
funds were low in the,church treas- ^
ury, and it devolved to some extent *
upon the pastor to see that money ^
was raised. A meeting for the discussion
of ways and means was called,
the doctor being present. The 1
directors suggested that some of the
wealthiest members of the congre- 1
gation be called on and asked for *
private subscriptions. To this Dr.
Peck agreed. A few days later he
was met on the street by one of the '
directors. i
"Well, doctor," said he, "how are ]
you getting on money raising ?"
"Fine," said Dr. Peck as his eyes 1
[ twinkled. "I went around to several
bankers, merchants and manufacturers,
but it was of no use. !

The Rising Tide.
A rather stout lady was enjoying
a bath at Scarborough. She kept a
tight hold of the bathing machine

brought each successive wave nearer
to the position he had taken up
he cast an indignant glance in the
lady's direction. At last an extra
big one came splash, and the holiday
suit was ruined. Flesh and
blood could stand it no longer.
Jumping up, he shouted in a voice
which completely drowned a nigger '

A Or BUSINESS.
The Lcsssn a Ve^eccble Vender Taught
a L!Z.~ti: ./jr-.tn.
Only a single cabbage remained
of the wagou load of produce with
which the huckster had started in.
It was a good head, and the keen
wittcd huckster was alive to the
chance of selling it, although the
hour was late. As he glanced from
?ide to side of the street, seeking a
purchaser, says a writer in the NewYork
Sun, he was hailed from a
doorway by a housewife's cry:
"What are you selling?"
"Whoa, Bill!" said the vender to
his horse, and to the prospective
customer he called, "Only one cabbage
left, missus!"
"Is it a good one?'* she asked
from the curb.
"Sure; as good as any ever came
from Jersey."
"How much do you want for it?"
"It's worth a dime, lady, but I
want to sell out, so you can have it
for a nickel."
After pulling off some of the
leaves to make sure the head was
fresh and sound the woman handed
:hc huckster a nickel. The coin
was transferred to his pocket, already
filled, and the cabbage was
daced in the woman's arms.
As she turned to go another woman
who had come up during the
.argaiuing said to the merchant:
"Got any cabbage?"
"Yes, ma'am; one head left."
"How much is it?"
"Ton cents."
"Is it a good head?"
"Finest kind of Long Island cabjage."
The woman who had just bought
he last head of cabbage was astonslicd
bv his calm as.?crtion that he
lad one left when she knew the oor;om
of his cart was bare. She wait?d
to ^c? he would satisfy the
second woiniin. When
the last comer snid, 'Til
:ake it," the huckster turned calmly
o the owner of the cabbage, took it
;rom her arms and handed it t? the
lew customer. At the same time
le took her dime from her fingers.
As the first woman stood with
nouth open, too astonished to pro:est,
the second walked awav. Then
:he woman deprived of her cabbage
found voice to say indignantly:
"That was my cabbage! How"?
The huckster interrupted her
with:
"Yes, ma'am; I know it. Here's
the dime I got you for it. You're
i nickel in."
nut X U1UII t nuiu vu ecu U.
"Didn't want to pell it!" he exclaimed
in a sorrowful tone. "Sure
rou did when you could make a
profit like that. Xever miss a
chance to make money, lady. That's
the way to <:et rich.
"Here's your dime," and as the
woman, still dazed, took the dime he
said. "Git up. llill!"

Not the Right Kind.
Professed politicians who have reduced
public office to an exa*t science
find the independent voter a
sad stumbling block, a fact which
is amusingly disclosed bv a story
found in the recent life*of the late
George Monro Grant, the eminent
Canadian educator and clergyman, i
Toward the end of Sir John Mac- J
donald's life he and Principal Grant,
then the head of Queen's college,
met at dinner at the house of the
premier's brother-in-law, Professor
Williamson.
"How I wish," the premier said
to the principal, "that you would
be a steady friend of mine!"
"My dear Sir John," the principal
replied, "I have always supported
you when you were right."
The premier's eyes twinkled, and
he laid his hand upon the shoulder
of the principal.
"My dear man," said he, "I have I
no use for that spec ies of friendship!"
The Vote Was Secured.
An ex-M. P. who contested a
highland constituency some years
ago tells the following anecdote:
Once, after a long and fatiguing
" * . 1 i i -1! x
day's canvass, 1 tacKiea a aisseming
minister, who was very keen
upon the subject of getting the
bishops out of the house of lords,
and in pursuance cf his favorite
hobby he asked me:
"Well, sir, what are you prepared
to do about the bishops ?"
I was irritated and fatigued by
ray day's work, and I testily muttered.
"Oh, hang the bishops!"
The minister bowed and replied:
"Well, sir, you go rather beyond me
there. I canna undertake to go altogether
that length with you, but
you shall hae my vote."?Pearson's
j Weekly.
