made an offer, i looked over the deaths
for day or two to see whether there
had been any Increase

A Statesman's Disgust.

The other day statesman who wanted
to read up the protective question, went
to Spofford, the librarian of congress,
and said: If there's any books on tar
ifs in France and Germany-them ma

do I want 'em." The books were heaped
upon the table, and the congressman,
opening and closing one after another
with a bang. at last cried out: ''Oh,
Spofford, can't read these books. They
are all in French or German. Where is
the English ones?' There are none
published of the class You want" said
Mr. Spofford The statesman slammed
out, muttering: This is Il - fine IL
brary for a statesman.

about two years of age, sitting on a low
stool before adrawing-room fire. Coiled

The child Is in fretful mood, and has
been crying for long time. The cat
endures the annoyance tor some time,
though evidently displeased. But even
feline patience has its limits So pussy
uncoiled herself, walked up to the child,
and gave her box on the ear with her
closed paw, and then lay down again be-
fore the fire. The child, taken complete

much curiosity by Mrs. Croly's assembled
guests. Clara, arrayed in white, glist-
cning in jewels, awaited the appearance
of ''the youth to whom is given so much
or earth, so much of heaven!' with mix
ed emotions. Oscar, rejoicing in. the
most extraordinary composure ever
youchsafed to mortal man, repeatedly

Sacred Alligators Was His Weakness.

A small boy at an Episcopal Sunday
school lately annoyed the librarian by
demanding book entitled Sacred ALI
gators"
s'Why, there is no such book in the
library" said the puzzled librarian.
''Oh, yes, there isl insisted the child.
II saw it, and / want that alligator
book"
the librarian hunted diligently through
the shelves for half an hour, and even
called several teachers to help him. At
last it was given up as a vain search,
and the youth was invited to look for
himself. He stepped up to the shelves;
took a comprehensive survey and tri-
umphantly produced the desired volume.
1t was Sacred Allegories."
