The Man Without an Enemy.

Heaven bless the mae who thinks he
can dodge enemies" by trying to
please everybody! If such an indi-
yidual ever succeeded, we should be
glad to know of it. Not that we be-
lieve in man going through the
world trying to find beams to knock
his head against, contradicting every
mans notions, fighting, elbowing, and
crowding all who differ from him.
That again is another extreme. Other
people have right to their opinions
SO have you. Don't fall into the error
Of supposing they will respect you
less for maintaining it-or respect you
more for turning your coat every day
to match the color of theirs. Wear
your own colors, in spite of wind OF
weather, storms or sunshine. 1t cost;
the vacillating ten times the trouble tc
wind and shuttle and twist, that il
does honest, manly independence to
stand its ground. Take what time
you please to make up your mind, but
having made it up, stick 10 it.

An Irish lady entered LAWYER Play

following conversation took place:
SIS this the place, sur, where people
git divorces 2"
"Yes, occasionally we engage in that
kind of business. What can we do for
you, madam 2"
Faith, sur, I'd like to git divorce
from my husband, PATRICK"
"What is the matter with Patrick
madam 2"
"Shure and Pathrick gets drunk,
sur"
"That's bad. But | hardly think
that alone will be sufficient cause.
Have you no other complaints ?"
"Indade have, sur; Pathrick bates
me-"
Eyes, yes 1 sec. That adds cruelty
to drunkenness. But, madam, you do
not seem to suffer much in your APP
pearance from Patrick's cruelty.
think you must find stronger reason
before the court will grant you di-
vorce."
"Well, sur, besides all that, fear,
sur, Pathrick isn't thrue to me-"
"Ah. now, madam, you begin to
talk business. What reason have you
for thinking that Patrick is unfaithful
to you?"

Why Popes Change Their Names

1t is fact generally known that
monks and nuns on assuming their
vows, and popes on ascending the pom
tifical throne, usually change their
names. The ieason of this change in
the case of the popes is superstitious
belief that unless this is done the new
pontiff will not live long. The GUS
tom has prevailed since it was inau-
gurated in $50 by Octavian Cont, who
assumed this name and title of John
MI. Julius Medici would have made
breach had he been permitted, but
his friends prevailed upon him to take
the name of Clemant, he being the
seventh pope to bear that name.
Thirty-two years later, in 1855, Mar
celius .Servius was elected, and insist
ed npon retaining his own name. AS
Marcelius Ii, therefore, he assembled
the throne on the 9th of April. He
was young man and in robust
health, and yet he lived but twenty
one days after his elevation. Since
that time no pope has ventured to Of
fend against the tradition. 1t is lit
tie singular that vile the name of
John has been favorite one, no less
than twenty-one popes having chosen
{, none have chosen it since the |
Heath of John XXI, in JAG. The
irst pope bearing the the name of Plus
,ook the position in 142, and the
lame did not reappear after his death

An Old Lsdy's Windfall.

Twenty-seven years ago, lady now
living in this city, deposited 800 in a
Philadelphia bank and had the amount
regularly entered in bank pass-book
She subsequently lost the pass-book
and, believing that she could not draw
the money in the absence of this evil
dence of her deposit, never again went
to the bank. Unlocking over some old
papers in Philadelphia, not long since,
the book was found, and efforts were
made to finl out whether any of her
kiuspeople were yet living, but this
proved unsuccessful. At last she was
traced to Nashville. Letters were ac-
cordingly written to her, and she was
informed thatif she would send pow
er of attorney to the bank she would
receive the 800 principal and the ac-
interest, 1927. She did as
directed, and was, yesterday, tho hap
py recipient of 1927 aud few cents.
The lady is now verging Oh seventy

King Frederick of Prussia, when he
was out riding one day, saw an old
farmer who was blowing his field and
singing cheerfully over his work.
"You must be well off, old man."
cried the king. "Does this acre be-
long to YOU on which you so industri-
ously labor?"
"No, SIR" replied the man, who of
course had no idea that he was speak
ing to the king; 81 am not SO rich as
that; pillow for wages"
GLOW much do you earn each day ?"
asked the king.
"Eight groschen," returned the man.
That would be about twenty cents of
our money.
"That is very little" said the kind I;
"can you get along with it ?"
"Get along! yes, indeed, and have
something left"
"However do you manager"
"Well," said the farmer. smiling, ~
will tell you. Two groschen are for
myself and wife; with two l pay my
debts, and two l give away for the
Lords sake"
"This is mystery which cannot
solve" said the king.
"Then / will solve it for you," said
Tho fa.p,ar ssI have txuo old ,,oranfc
at home, who kept me and cared for
me when | was young and weak, and
needed care. Now that they are old
aud weak, am glad to keep and care
for them. This is my debt, and it
takes two groschen day to pay it.
Two more spend on my children's
schooling. If they are living when
their mother and / are old, they will
keep US and pay back what | lend.
Then with my two last groschen Isup-
port my two sick sisters who cannot

"Well done, old man." cried the king
as he finished; snow | am going SO

''ln less than five minutes you shall

"This is indeed riddle which can
not solve" said the farmer.
"Then L will solve it for you," said
the king; and with that he put his
hand into his pocket and pulling out
fifty gold pieces, placed them in the
hand of the farmer.
"The coin is genuine, said the king
"for it also comes from the Lord our
God, and | am his paymaster. | big

And he rode off, leaving the old man
overwhelmed with surprise and de-
light at the singular interview.
