worthy to love her."-Byron.
Jack Wilkins was the most enthusi-
astic cricketer in Halifax. He belonged
to the "Paladins," the best civilian club
in the town, the one that was always
pitted against the military. But unfor-
tunately Jack was the worst player in
the club. AS fielder he would pass
muster, but somehow he couldn't bat.
He read Lilywhite and all the other au-
thorities on the game, but still he
failed. He practiced a good deal, but
couldn't get the hang of it.
Jack was intending to study dentistry
and he was in love. The name of his
sweetheart was Letitia Burns, girl as
pretty as a picture and considerable of
a tease. Letitia laughed at Jack when
he grew sentimental, but didn't refuse
to go about with him. Jack was to go
to Philadelphia to the dental college,
and the only regret he felt at going was
that he was leaving Letitia to be
beaued around by possible rival. He
couldn't get her to make him any prom
Use until the night before his leaving
Halifax for Philadelphia, when Letitia,
laughing, said to Jacks oft repeated
importantly: "I'll tell you what, Jack,
I'll give you an answer when you be-
come the best batsman in the Paladins' -
Jack looked rueful and rubbed his head
He was going away from Halifax for
two years, and how could he become
the best cricketer in the Paladins?
Letitia's condition was impossible OF
fulfllment The best batsman in the
Paladins! Why there was now not one
poorer than he.
But Letitia shook her short black
curls and was inexorable. Jack had to
go away in disgust without his promise.
But when he got to Philadelphia he
found out that they knew there quite
as much about cricket as the Haligoni-
ans. He resolved that he would de-
vote all his spare time to mastering the
game. He was going bacl in two years,
and perhaps in the meal imo he could
learn some cricket. Their was a pro-
fessional cricketer there named Tyner,
an EDglishman, who had coached some
of the best cricketers in England and
America. Jack went to Tyner and got
him for consideration to take him
into his club. Tyner put Jack at the
bat, who, as usual, made miserable
failure. Jack went to the professional

pointedly. 1T is pity that black ants
should not be useful in proportion to
their size" Whereon the parson at
once retorted, ''It is greater pity that
red ants, which are SO insignificant,
should yet be so offensive"
Another collision of this kind between
church and state, in which the church
again had the best of it, is said to have
occurred at an English public dinner,
where would-b be witty officer asked a
well-known colonial bishop, who sat
next to him, whether he could tell the
difference between bishop and dom
key, and then proceeded to explain that
the one wears the cross on his head, and
the other wears it on his back.
Every good, Major B. said the
bishop. ''But now, can you tell the diff
ference between an army officer and
lonkey?"

major.
Nor can T. rejoined the bishop,
quietly.
Even this, however, was surpassed by
another passage of repartee between

preserved among the society legends of
Calcutta. A certain famous English
general, the hero of two eastern wars.
found his health beginning to give way
beneath the strain of long and arduous
service, and was ordered home by his
doctors. On the day of his embarkation
for England he was accompanied by a
vast crowd of friends, to whom he be-
gan to distribute various small tokens
Of his regard
"Well, general" asked the bishop of
Calcutta, who was one Of the party,
"have you no memento to leave to an

tire stock of impudence.'
''Ten thousand thanks, my dear gem

''You have given me by far the largest

And then the bishops wife turned to
her husband, and said, sweetly, ..My

to start out in life to make fortune

general; put up at night with some
farmer and pay his bill in trade.
One night he put up with a farmer in
Cornwall by the name of Stoddard, one
of Cornwalrs most respected citizens.
His eldest daughter was beautiful
young lady, universally beloved by all
of CORVALLIS people. BY nature she
was very domestic in her habits and a
good housekeeper and an excellent
cook. In fact, she had every accom-
plishment necessary to make man
happy. She also possessed a clear
business intellect. 1t did not take
young Huntington long to discover
these qualities in Miss Stoddard and
he captured the prize that many a
young man sought to win.
The story goes in Cornwall that Miss
Stoddard's excellent biscuit made him
fall in love with her. They were mar
ried very quietly, for, as they said, they
had no money to spend foolishly.
1t was not long after their marriage
before he had fine span Of horses and
a handsome peddler's wagon. BY his
marriage the foundation of his inn
mense fortune was laid.
They moved to California where Mr..
Huntington went into partnership with
Mr.. Hopkins. A short time before Mrs.
Huntington died she gave one thousand
dollars toward the erection of a chapel
in West Cornwall, and had she lived
would have honored her birthplace,
| where she and MIR. Huntington spent
SO many happy hours together, with
something more substantial. She also
intended to erect a handsome monu-
ment to the memory of her deceased
parents. Her constitution was not ro-
bust and her early trials and sacrifices
to advance the interests of her beloved
husband brought her to an early grave.
