A nation of Knivh,..

The old remark that tho Americans
arc y nation Of coloncls has lost much
OF its force. hut few realize that We arc
rapidly becoming nation Of knights.
Even now you couldn't throw stone

Numbering His Teacher.

Numbering His Teacher.
Kcv. DIR. Frederick Evans told astory
ut tho banquot of tho Wclshmcn 10 IL
lustratc tho difficulties Wclshhan has
in studying tho English language. Tho
Wclshman undertook as his first lcsson
from an English teacher this primer
story, very simple to an Englishman:;
THAT ploughman has rough field to-
plow, and when no is through let him
shoulder his gun as though no was not
tired. and whiic hc is roughing 1t his
vito is busy with tho dough, for which
he should feel thankful, and shc has
two children sick with tho hiccoughs." J"
Tho Wclshman was taught first to
pronounce ploughmau," and on that
cough" sound he read off tho story thus
THAT ploughman hasa row fold to
plough and when hc is !hrdu lot him
shoulder his gun as thou he was not
tired and whiie ho is rowing it his wife
is busy with tho dow, for which he
should bc thankful, and she has two
children sick with the hiccows."
OF course tho Wclshman's teacher
told him that trough" was always
ruff" and thereupon tho Wclshmun
corrected his story. as he thought:
THAT Pullman has q rough field to
pluff and when he is thruff lot him
shoulder his gun as thuft hc was not
tired, and whilc he is ruffing It his vito
is busy with tho duff, for which hc
should feol thankful, and She had two
children sick with tho hiccuffs."
but Through" was not thrufi, and
after much coaching on that word tho
Wc!shman innoccntly produced another
remarkable use Of tho ''ough:"
THAT piooman has ruc field to plue
and when no is through. let him shoul.
dor his gun rs thoo hc was not tired,
and whilo ho is rueing It Lis wife is
busy With the do. for which hc should
bo thankful, and she has two children.
sick with hiccoos."
Then the Welshman was taught how
to pronounce dough" and keeping that
in his head mado his story more mon.
strous:
"That ploman has row field to 'plo
and when he Is throw lot him shoulder
his gun as though hc was not tired and
whilc no is rowing it his vito is busy
with tho dough for which ho should feel
thankful, and shc has two children sick
with tho hiccoes."
Then when tho Wolshrnan could mas
ter .'hiccoughs" ho capped tho climax;
THAT plupnlan has rupp field to
plupp and when no is thrupp lot him
shoulder his gun as thupp no was not
tired and while he is ripping 1t his w,tc
is busy with tho dupp for which. ho
should feel thankful, and sho has two
children sick with hiccoughs."
1t is left to bc understood that tho
Wclshman then caught his teacher ON .
dark night and slew him with tho Jaw.
bono of an ass and went back to Wales
to tho unmolcs.cd enjoyment Of his own
phonetic language, in which only one
letter, ~" has moro than ono sound. ~

Controversy.
John Quincy Adams 1sas noted for his
self-reliancc and:for his tcnacity Of pur:-
pose-his enemies even said no was self
willed iIfd' obstinate. The old gcntle-
man was very fond Of chess, but had q
strong disinclinstion to being beaten
Report said that whom he discovered the
danger Of chcckmate, he would often
bc 80 long in considering his next move
as to tire out his adversary. and the
game would end in o draw"
A similar .'mastcrly inactivity" is
often shown by selfish people who hopo
by doing nothing when something
should be donc, to gain an advantage.
An anccdotc, told in "Glimpscs Of Life
in Marlborough" illustrates this trait
of human sclfishHcss..
Isaac Davis, deacon and one of the
representative men OF tho town, mar.
ricd for his second vito widow, who
lived in New Hampshire. She had
bought barrcl-churn with one Of hcr
ncighbors, 'eachof whom paid half of tho
cost. After" her marriage, Mr.. Davis
rode over to this ncig to arrange
about tho churn.
lie proposed two plans-that she
should sell him her share in tho churn,
or buy his wifc's, but shc would not
agree to either of them. At last, when
Mr.. Davis saw that tho woman was de.
tesmined TO retain, II possible, not only
her own but Mrs. Davis share of the
churn, he went ont to tho wagon, and
