The Duke and the snob.


The following amusing story of an Eng
lish nobleman, recently deceased, is told
by a correspondent of a contemporary.
"The Duke" he says, ''was once in
church when a collection was announced
for some charitable object. The plate
began to 90 round and the Duke carefully
put his hand into his pocket and took out
a form, which he laid on the pew before
him, ready to be transferred to the plate.
Beside him sat a little snOb, who, noticing
this action, initiated it by Ostentatiously
laying a sovereign alongside the ducaI
form, This was too much for His Grace,
who dipped his hand into his pocket again
and pulled out another form, which he laid
by the side of the first The little snob fol.
lowed suit by laying another sovereign
beside the first. His Grace quietly added
a third form, which was capped bv a
third sovereign on the part of the little
snOb. Out came a fourth form to swell
the Dukes donation, and then the little
snOb triumphantly laid three sOvereigns
at once upon the board. The Duke, not
to be beaten, produced three forms. just
at this moment the plate arrived. The
