sAbout this moment, one of my men
came up and said: Captain, it is. my
blanket he refers to. You know that
blanket, for you have slept under it.

= Yes, i replied, i remember it,
OF course it is yours
Yes, said the boy, that's, just like
you - Georgians. One of you will
tell a lie and t'other will swear to it.
Now, cap'n, if you will jist shed them
stripes I'll whip you quicken will
scorch a feather
Il couldn't stand that challenge, =
continued the Georgian. Il quickly
threw off my coat and lit into the
fight Well. if it had not been for my
men believe that fellow would have
beat me to death. He simply plowed
up the earth with me, and then offered
to whip all my men one by one, but
none OF them would try him That

man the precedence.
He was dining with a company OF
Americans somewhere in the country,
and the waiter announced the desert
after the manner of his kind: s'Peach

one wild plunge into unknown terrors.
With q sly twinkle as he departed the
waiter asked: whats the matter
with the custard pie?'' While all the
diners smiled till the dishes clinked
together. And by and by, when all
the pies were laid out before him, the
Englishman looked up Sin a contem.
platiye fashion," and asked rum
inatingly, ''By the way, what was the
matter with the custard pie, anywayp''
That reminds us-but that's another
story, as Rudyard Cipling says, and
it's the Irishman's turn now.
He was newly arrived, this Milesian
personage, and he didn't propose to
be borne at once, body and soul, out
Of the old loyalty into the new. But
he too was at meat and was ministered
unto after the usual interrog way.
"Red snapper, boiled whitetish, baked

the Irish blood in his veins rose at
once. No, ye dom t, he said. Ill

Not long ago the London Truth was
moved to relate that story familiar to
allgood- story-loving Americans which
we tell in this crisp way.
Testy old man to small boy Boy,
what do you mean by always hollering
just when 7 m going by?
Small boy-Old fellow, what do you
mean by always going by. just when
I'm holleringP
Now hear Truth. A somewhat irate
old village squire was once moved to
notice that a certain youngster seemed
always in the act of hallooing while
he was passing by. And so one day
he said to him, with that arrogance
which, it seems, characterizes village
squires: .'Boy, why is that you always
appear to be hallooing whilst that
am passing byp"
To which the boy responded, with
that readiness which characterizes vii
lage boys: "Why is it that you are al
ways passing by whilst that I am hal
lOOing?''

Pole Wanting.

Pole vaulting is species OF jumping,
in which the jumper aids himself by
the use of a long pole which he plants
in the ground a little distance from
the bar, and with which he lifts him
self as he ssprings into the air. As
the pole is reaching the perpend icular
he swings himself over the bar, letting
go the pole at the same moment The
same rule governs the pole vault as
the running high jump, and there is
no linit to the size or weight OF the
poles.

She's as charming, men say,
As bright day in May,
Or as ever a dear girl can be.
She's so dainty and sweet,
I would like the receipt
For dainter maiden than she.
But she bothers me so,
That l really don't know
Whether knowing her pays, after all.
She's a torment and tease,
And she's so hard to please
That my life is all NORWOOD and gall.
So why not let her slide,
All her beauty defied?
There are always good fish in the sea.
And what do l care
HoWe'er she be fair,
II she's always so unfair to me?
