Barney 0'G. was an amusing
little Irishman who kept choice
restaurant in a business neighbor,
hood, aud his principal patrons
were therefore business men. They
not only patronized him literally
during the week, but as his place
lay on the general thoroughfare to
the postofiice, it was surmised that
they stopped In to see him on Sun
day also, At any rate, as much
cllnking of glasses and popping Of
corks was heard in Barneys place
on the Sabbath as on secular days.
There was a church just round the
corner-a rigid Presbyterian con-
gregation-and several Of its mem
bers complained to the authorities
of Barney's doings, and the police
were ordered to suppress them.
Strange to say the officers could
never "get the dots on him" as
expression goes, and finally re-
ported that the accusation was
unjust, and that he never sold
liquor on Sunday. The church
folk, however, knew better, and
one of them who had considerable
faith in his own shrewdness, de-
clared himself able to bring
undoubted proof. On the next
Sunday he disguised himself in
somewhat rough dress, and, accom-
panied by a friend, to actas witness,
presented himself at Barney's back
door. He smiled and winked
comfortable at the barkeeper and
was admitted. Taking a bottle
from his pocket he leaned over the
counter and said in confidential
tones: 81 wish you would let me
have a pint Of the best liquor
you have in the house. | forgot
to get my usual supply last
night" Barney shook his head
and said: cit is Sunday, you
know, and against the law"
The other insisted that that did
not matter; that he was all right,
and the transaction need not be
known outside. He plead for some
time, and at length Barney con-
sented to fill the bottle with the best
liquor he had in the house. "But,"
he added, it is worth two dollars
a pint" This was rather steepj but
the money was paid, and Barney
went down the cellar, and presently
returned with the bottle filed and
corked. The two spies quickly left
the saloon, and next day Barney
was arrested for selling liquor on
Sunday. Wber brought up fol
trial he stoutly denied the accuse.
ton, He was confronted by tbC
Presbyterian With the bottle in his
hand. " What DO yoH say to this,
Do you deny selling me this Wblskl
Yesterday" Barney smiled quietly
"Indade and | do. You didn't asl

They glided into a book store and
advanced toward young man who
sat facing the back of his chair.
There were three of them. One
was a blonde, with a each-blossom
face and an $50 watch-chain. The
next was also blonde, but she
wasn't so blooming as the other,
and her watch wasn't worth so
much by $40. She wore a diamond
ring, however, over the finger Of a
lavender glove, which was worth
three or four watch-chains. The
third was the queen bee. She was
a brunette, with melting brown
eyes, and, as regards jcwelry, was
far Superior to the other two. The
brunette asked the young man to
buy a ticket to the church social.
