Two stories About the Bible.

from rich aunt. After u moments re-
hection they say, he exclaimed: "Tm up
to that dodge" and began examining tho
volume eagerly leaf by leaf until he
reached the Sermon ON the Mount, where
he found ten dollar bill pinned to the
page. This is no better story than that
OF George Hayward's gift OF big Bible
To the old city club.
In the presence OF witnesses he put a
ten dollar bill in the book at what chap
ter Is not stated. The volume lay on the
center table In the reading room At
the end OF u year. in the presence Of the
same witnesses, Mr., Hayward opened
the Bible and found his ten dollar bill
Just whore he had left ii. There was
nobody in that club who was cup to the
dodge which young Schley penetrated

Foot Notes "a Nuisance.

A writer in the London St James Ga.
zette objects strongly to the use of foot
notes in books, and particularly criticises
Mr.. Bryce's recent work on this acco,,n,
lie says: Except for the purpose Of
relieving the text of references, the foot
note has no proper place in any book
that deserves to be called book. 1t is
at best n kind of purgatorio, to which an
author consigns such remarks as he
thinks unworthy of admitting to full
honors, and yet has not the courage ia
cast out altogether. But Their, is hardly
page of Mr., Bryce's book without foot
notes, and hardly foot note which
might not well have been Incorporated
IN the text Often, indeed, the foot
note contains the very plum of the

a PRACTICAL Joker

Some Of Perkins Harmless but Amusing
Tricks which He P-rpetrates.
Perkins is tall, angular and practical
Joker of the severest type. One Of his
peculiar pleasantries is to suddenly halt
. strange, pompous individual on the
street, buttonhole him and remark with
cool assumption:
II beg your pardon, sir, but think
you have made a mistake"
What is that, sirf' the victim is like
~ to ask.
"well," Perkins will reply with the
utmost audacity, this city does not be-
long to any one man or set of men. You
may think you own it, but you don't.
Seer and Perkins will hurry away, leav-
ing the pompous man to his own rehec-
tions.
Sometimes he varies this interesting

ion: Stepping up to a total stranger he

This trifiing favor having been extended,
he will engage his victim in converse

he approaches Perkins introduces him to

Ono day Perkins entered a small east
side dry goods store with friend.

row Of stools. Upon these the men seat

young clerk came up and asked Perkins
what he desired. For an instant he
seemed puzzled for reply, but soon his
eyes rested upon the familiar sign ''If
you don't SEQ what you want ask for 1t"
That furnished him with cIew.
