"Chip of the Old Block"

At a recent banquet a brightyoung
theologian told a very good story
on his respected father, who is an
old and tried member of the cloth.
AS is we'll known, the theological stu
dents, before they begin the formal
practice of theology, are required to
preach a sermon before an assem-
blage of the gray-beards of the
church, who have pounded the pull
pit cushions for decades. This is a
most trying ordeal for the students,
and they go through with palsied
knees and quivering lip. The young
theologian in question was we'll
known to the ministers ofthe denom-
nation, as his father had been of
their number for years and as the
old gentleman was naturally proud
OF his boy, the young mans effort
Listened to with interest by all
80, To tell the. truth, the old
gentleman was bit disappointed.
but the young man was dreadfully
embarrassed in the presence of his
elders, and did not do himself JUS
tice. AS he walked slowly homo with
his father the old gentleman said,
after a long pause: "Charlie, that
was a regular schoolboy essay OF
yours?" The young man was about
to make some excuse when one of the
dominies who had been present,
walked up behind him, slapped the
boy on the back, and said: "Charlie,
you're evidently q chip of the old
block" The old gentleman made no
further criticisms of his sons first eff
fort.-Chicago Herald.

"Mooch ErIphtanad y

The experience OF the fire-marshal
With the Polish Jews, who have piled
their trade in. Boston, has often been
quite amusing. The Boston Courier
says that their first refuge when be-
ing examined is to feign an ignor-
ance of any language in which they
may be addressed, and the Courier
illustrates it by telling the following
story:
One man brought his wife to the
officer in answer to the summons OF
the marshal, but assured the officer
that she could not speak English,
nor yet Polish nori Hebrew.
Being forced to own that she did
speak something, she admitted with
reluctance that she knew a little Ger
man, and in this tongue the marshal
began his examination. Presently
when the woman was off her guard,
he had recourse to an old and simple
but effective ruse.
'Is that a mouse under your
chair?" he asked, suddenly.
The woman jumped from her seat
with shrek, proving that she
was still woman where mice we're
concerned.
'"Then you do understand Eng
ish?'' the marshall said, blandly.
Sometimes ven lam mooch fright
sned | knows it a veery little" she
answered.

Aristocracy Among Sales
women.

The average wages paid to sales
women and cash girls has been steadi-
ly on the decrease for several years,
until now more than one of the best
firms refuse to give employment to
girls who have no other means of
support because they want only re-
spectacle girls, and they know a
girl cannot support herself on the
wages paid. A man said on learn
ing the wages offered By firm to
his daughter: "Well, / think a good
deal of that firm, but not enough to
support one of their saleswomen."
There has never been any kind of or
ganization among the saleswomen.
They are, as a rule, well up to the
average in intelligence, but in no
other class of artisans is there to be
found the peculiar type of aristocra-
cy which prevails among them. Gen
orally speaking, they do not consid-
er themselves as having any thing in
common with other working people,
and refuse to ningle with them

TWO Women and a TeIasrann


One was perhaps %, the other a
little younger. They were pretty
and were stylishly dressed. A car
riage stood at the Fourteenth street
entrance of Wizards hotel awaiting
their pleasure. 1t could not be SUP.
posed that they were in very distress
full financial straits.
They sat at a table in the reception
room of Wizards devising, concoct-
ing and instituting a telegraphic
message to send to some friend. The
elder one did the writing and scratch
ing and rewriting. which used up six
or seven Western Union blanks. The
younger one leaned closely over the
scrlvener and furnished suggestions
at just the right time to make the
scrivener tear up blanks.
I'VE will be there tomorrow.
That is what they wanted to say.
That was what they did say in the
very first writing.
But" said the younger, eff we
say we are coming home, we shall
both have to sign it,"
Carrie and will be there ton
row."
That was the result of much men
tai effort spent in composing and
much physical exertion spent in eras-
ing.
II guess that will do" said the
younger, and the two seemed to
breathe with that freedom which
tells of great responsibility unshoul-
dered.
"Hold on" said the other at the
door.
"What?" asked the other.
" Carrie and Twill be there to-mor-
row. One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven-only seven words"
"Well?"
"Why, we have to pay as much for
seven words as we do for ten"
Here was more difficulty. 1twould
never do to pay for ten words and
send only seven. That would be a
reckless and a wicked waste. They
proposed many ways to lengthen it,
but each time they talked off q new
message on their fingers they found
they had either too few or too many
words.
"Pshaw!" said the younger one,
"why didn't l think of it before? l
have it,"
"Have you? Have you?"
"Why, of course. Leave it Just as
it is, and add Yours, very truly"
If the young lady had had an in
spiration she could not have looked
prouder of it; and as for the older
one, she simply looked on the sweet
face before her as that of a wonder
full being.
Carrie and Twill be there to-mor.

message that went through some
