D' b. HIS ldUlOu1 parsonage. II I,
 said, has been known to wear white kld-gloves in the pulpit He once
 met a stranger on a railway train and
 was much entertained with his cOnver
 saiion. He even went so far as 10 apOl- .ogiZe for not inviting the stranger tu dinner, explaining that Mrs. Boyd al.
 ways expected to dress for that solemn occasion. What was his dismay on
 learning that the person to whom he
 was speaking was the Duke of Argyle The story k told all over Scotland,
 and highly relished.
 And no wonder it is highly relished
 for it's awful funny. Still, somehow
 or other, after recovering our equa-
 nimity, we have dim impression that Miss Kate Field has been altogether
 too lavish in giving all the snobbish-
 ness to the country parson." We
 may be wrong, but we thlnk a large portion of it belongs to her and her
 kind. It is quite uneXplainable that | really intelligent American writers,
 who indite at least sensible matter on
 this side of the water, go 10 the other
 side and immediately develop a weak ness for rehashing lot of stories and stuff which may interest the local 1 kitchens and stables but sounds simply
 flat stale and improbable elsewhere
 If they would only give us the servants version of the OCT true tales il would Int be so bad. For instance in the above case:-Scene, evening in the back kitchen, with the days work over and Mary the cook solacing her private soldier OF policeman with his custom ary cold lunch Private soldier or policeman loquitur: Mary, my dear, did you 'car about the luke this morn in'?" Wy no, Emery, vhathever vos it." chimes in Mary. Yell, replies Emery you may take hit for as. much as you will: but hi gets hit from the butler, hand 'e tells me e gets hit from the leddy's maid, hand has 'ow she gets hit from mileddy ersel So. there you ave hit"
 lIary.) Yell, hi never; do tell hus hall habout hit"
 CEnery) We'll, the way it vos told to me his this:-The luke vos a com in down from the City hon the late. train this mornin'. hand non thls wer- " same train, hand hin the werry con- partment with the luke. who should there be but hay country parson. Hits Gods truth. Nen, nothInk must do. this fellow, Cwho vos a great talker.) but 'e must make hup to the luke i'm self, hall,hough 'e didn't know nm. from Hadam, hand halter they 'ad gone hay ways, hand the parson a talk in hoy hay student likin' to the luke, what must e do ven the train vos hap. proachin' hoy the place we're 'e vos to. get hof, but the parson must tell the luke has low C vos werry glad to ave 'ad the pleasure hoy is hacquaintancc hand company, hand that e should ! like nothink better hIn the world than to ave i'm to dinner-hcnly that is wife vos werry particular hon such hoe caslons haybout 'er happearance, hand liked tO be told hoy company hin time to make suitable preparations; but that e 'oped to ave the pleasure hoy is company hon some future hocca- sion"
 Gfary) "YeH, hi never cared the like hoy hit since hi vos born. Hand vathever did the luke say to the how dacious creature?"
 CEnery) The luke vos rather set back hat first by such hunblushin but soon recoyers hoy i'm self, hand hasks the parson hif e knows has who e his maxim hoy 'imself familiar with. Hand ven the parson says e doesn't know, the luke gives one hoy is 'ardcSt frownS. slaps one and hon is breast, puts the hother and thunder is coat tails, stamps is foot hon the floor. hand, with vither- in glance, says. 'caitifE him the luke hoy Horg-ile.' As is 'ighness said this, e strengthened 'imself to is full eight. threw is coat back hon is stuck both thumbs hin the harmolcs hoy is veskit hand strode havay to hano,her seat Has for the parson e slunk right down hInto is boots hand never hopened is mouth for the rest hoy the journey"
 DIaryJ Hand served nm right, too, for hmsultin' hoy is betters. 'Ow hi should like to ave seen the luke. Vos e much hove-come by the hcxcite- ment hoy the hoccasion?"
 CEnery) "N Nott has could be seen | But ven e. got 'ome e. yos very hangry, hand says has 'ow hit vill soon come to the pass that the luppor classes will lave to year a wire screen haroUnd them for protection a from the hinsulun' familiarity hoy l heir hintcuors."
