What Puzzled Him.
-f"Tftshop in full robes of office, with
his gowa reaching to his feet, was
teaching a Sunday school class. At
the close he said he would be glad to
answer any questions.
"Can I ask?" said a little boy, raising
his band. ,
"Certainly." said the bishop; "what
is it?"
"Is drm all you've got on, or do
jjjf you wear pants under dein?"
LOVE OF COUNTRY.
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own. my native land?
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned
As home his footsteps he hath turned
' Frjmwanderlng on a foreign strand?
If si^Ptht-re breathe. r\ mark him well;
for ffih no minstrel raptures swell!
High though his titles. proud his name.
Boundless hjja w-alth r.s wish can claim;
* Despite power and pelf.
The wretdSgscentered all in self,
living. sraHKrfeit fair renown.
And, douh^Hring. shall go down
To the viie Jfs! fr m whence he sprung.
Unwept, wKonored and unsung.

company for nearly a year, bqt op to
date Zeke had not had the courage to
propose. The opportunity came, though,
one summer afternoon when they were
at the circus. After seeing the sights
they reeted on a bale of hay in an obocure
corner of the menagerie tent
"What do you reckon is the most
strange thing we seed?* said Ketnrah.
"Its hard ter say, but I know what
v Td Mke ter be now," replied Zeke in a
tender voice.
"The flying trapeze man?' she ven
turea.
"No, not him."
"Mebbe the ringmaster?"
"Nor him. Yon recollect the octopus

private In the regulars went to the
ctponel of his regiment and asked for
a two weeks' leave of absence. The
colonel was a severe disciplinarian and
did not hesitate to use a subterfuge in
evading the granting of privileges to
, ills men.
"Well." said the colonel, "what do
yon w?ht a two weeks' furlough for?"
"Me wolfe Is very sick, and the children
are not well, and. If ye didn't
moled, she w ould like to have me home
fer a few weeks to give her a bit ov
assistance."
The colonel eyed him for a few minutes
and said:
"Patrick, I might grant your request,
but I got a letter from your wife this
morning saying she didn't want you
home; that you were a nuisance whenever
you were there. She hopes 1
\
won't let you have any more for*
lougha."
I "Th^J settles It! 01 suppose 01 can't
get the furlough then?"
"No. I'm afraid not, Patrick."
It was Patrick's turn now to eye the j
colonel as he started for the door.
Stopping suddenly, he said:
"Colonel, can 01 say something?"
"Certainly. Patrick. What is it?" ;
You won't got mail, colonel, if Ui i
say it?"
"Cert:'inly not, Patrick. What Is It?" |
"Qi wmt to say there are two splen- j
?li;l liars in this room. 01 was never
married in me ioife."

A Regard For Appearance.
A milliner endeavored to sell to a
colored woman one of the last season's
hats at a very moderate price. It was
a big white picture hat.
'I.aw, no, honey!" exclaimed the j
woman. "I coukUnevah wear that. I'd !
look Jes' like a blueberry in a pan of i
milk."

The editor of a little western paper
was In the habit of cheering up his
subscript's daily with a column of
short pertinent comments on their
town, their habits and themselves. The
department on account of Its Intimate
jwrsonal flavor was the most popular
thing In the paper.
On a hot day, when a simoom whistled
gayly up the streets of the town,
depositing everywhere Its burden of
sand, the editor brought forth this
gem of thought:
"All the windows along Main street
need washing badly.**
