him. 1t had been in better taste, per-

What of Great Thoughts.


Talking over the recent McCOsh episode
ut Harvard called forth the other day, the
following story of another Scotch divine
who visited once in the vicinity OF Boston.
Besides his ministerial functions the rever-
end gentleman had n fond weakness for
making incursiOnS into literature proper.
One day, when clOseted with his books and
papers, the household of the family with
whom he was visiting broke in upon his
m~editations with q message. The irate
doctor sprang to his feet, and in his heat,
giving way to broadcast accent, cried out
severely Woman, how dar We intrude
yerser that sudden? De We ken me, wO-
man? Yer disturbing presence has ban
ished a great thought into e~tarnity ~
The Lord betunc us an evil, sir ~
cried the atfrighted maid. An how was
| to know that, or drame that them havin'
great thoughts lost 'em that aiSy? But
sure, sir, if it's to eternity it's gone, you'll
be like to find it agin, place God With
which naive reiOinder the humble hand
maid left the mighty doctor to cool off at
his leisure.

4 ~Telegraphic Error.


See what an intelligent telegraph opera
tor did for the Western Union company
down in Texas. Mr.. Edison had a dog of
great price named Shep, and wishing to
have him shipped to him, he telegraphs
home; 'Send Shep by first train" The
brainy telegraph operator thought Mr.. Ed
son ought TO know how to spell better than
that, and so he corrected him and sent the
dispatch as follows: Send sheep by first
trash" As Edison was a sheep raiser his
hired man put his entire flock on the cars,
and in a day or two he received notice that
they were at hand. Just then a storm
came up and many of them fell sick. Be
fore he could get them back to his ranch
half of them were dead, and the affair cost
him a great deal of money. He is now
suing the company for damages and is liza
BILE to get them.
