It Is seldom that one student 50 success
fully gets the best OF another in pubic BY
practical joking as did senior in Fai,
Haven horse car. Two devoted chums
boarded the car when only one seat, close "a
the door, was vacant. To the amusement OF
the spectators, each elo9uentiy but vainly
endeavored to persuade the other 10 accept
the vacant place. Finally they decided to
toss up penny TO settle the matter, stiprl
lating that the loser should sit down and
hold the other in his lap. With student
like deliberation they carried out this plan,
and after the toss-up both calmly sat down
an the single seat. Soon the car stopped
and at the door appeared handsome youns
woman. Instantly the man who had Won
the tossing contest of moment before saw
his opportunity and made the most of it.
Wont you please to accept nay seatin
he said softly in his most polite manner to
the maiden, gracefully uncovering his head
and slowly rising.
Il thank you," said the young woman
blushing, and apparently pleased by the
students marked attention, she proceeded
to take the seat
The other college man had been absorbed
in thought, and so quickly and quietly was
the action taken that he had not realised
his companions joke until he found the
young lady innocently attempting to ap
propriate the place in his lap. Then with
suave "and take mine, too" that startled
and at first nonplussed the third party in
the joke, he darted from his seat Just in
time to save the young lady from complete
embarrassment. Among those who seemed
most highly amused by the joke, however
was she who unconsciously had participant
ed in it.-New Haven Cor. New Yorh

Never Say I've Heard II Before"

versation is on the point of telling story.
whether | have heard so and so. Nosy it
Is possible that | may have heard that
story half dozen or half q hundred times
before, but | am certain that 1 have never
heard it told exactly as this particular per-
son will tell it. So | can truthfully answer
that L have never heard it, and taat is my
1nvariable practice. Everybody who has
undertaken to tell a story knows what
sensation is produced when a listener in
terrupts him to say that he has heard it
before, and of course there lie something of
the same feeling when one who II inks he
has a good thing to tell is heade off by
the remark that it has been heard already.
mo story is ever told twice precisely
alike. The individual element always comes
In. So 1t is no evasion or stretching of the
truth when say of some incident that may
be familiar TO me that / have not heard it;

clsely the way this teller will narrate it.

Irving for a Job at the GuiJlotipe.


In these days, when the doctrine of the
survival of the fittest" finds currencyan
advocates, there exists fierce competition,
particularly in large cities, for almost any
chance to earn a living. But who ever
dreamed of a contest for the place of heads
man? Yet one is now going on at Paris.
An effort is being made to induce Deibler
the French executioner, to resign, and a
report has been sent to the minister of JUS
tice stating that Deibler, who is now sixty
three years of age, is unfit to fulfill his
duties under ordinary conditions The
present headsman would be succeeded by
Berger, the son-in-law of the last execu-
toner, Roch. A correspondent who has
had conversation with M. Deibler was in
formed that, although he was quite con-
scious Of the intrigue against him, he was
never stronger in his life. Once or twice
the knife had been badly set, but he had
reason to believe that this was the work of
his enemies. The same difficulty had oc-
CURED with his predecessors. Deibler
added that he had met the execuf5oners of
several countries, and among others a well
known English baronet who had acted as
an amateur hangman. and in all cases he
had succeeded in convincing his visitors
that the guillotine was the most painless
and humane way of executing criminals.

Cultivate Enemies,

"What shall do?" wrote somebody to
me not long ago. 81 have a relentless and
bitter enemy; what shall do about it?"
Cultivate him, is my answer. There is
nothing better for the development of the
Drawn of your soul than a good, active,
open enemy. Do you remember, if YOU
ever lived on farm, how the hoe acted on
the cornhills and the pruning knife on the
vines? A sure way to set the green tassels
flying and the clusters ripening on the
trellis is to call in the active and agrees
i've action of the cultivator and the pruper.
l wouldn't give a snap of a sore finger for
person who never had an enemy. You
might as well be dead 1t is sign that
you are very actively alive if somebody
hates you.
Did you ever see truant schooTboys club
bing scrub oaks for apples? No, sir; it is
the fruit trees and the nut bearing trees
that get the stones and the shakings every
time, and the ripper and sweeGer the fruit
and the more plentiful the nnts the more
boys congregate and the more clubs are
thrown. Never be afraid then of an
enemy, provided he fights you according to
the tactics of a white man rather than an
Indian God pity you if your foe is liar
and shoots from an ambush. All the BRAY
cry and pluck in the world never availed a
man when savage lay for him behind a
bush.-Chicago Herald.

The Chairman Was Too Lucky,

The swindler has saying that a fool is
born every minute, and he seems to prove
his assertion by recent occurrence at Bel
fast, Ireland, where four rogues put their
heads together and called themselves 1.-THE
University club" They then affiliated
number of the local football clubs, obtain
ing the use of their names by simple ex-
pedient of giving them commission on
the tickets sold in their particular districts.
Large prizes were offered, and in due
course came the public drawing. A sim
pie minded policeman was called up to pre-
side over it, and lend an air of fictitious
responsibility to an otherwise somewhat
barefaced performance. However nobody
seemed to look critically on the two mys-
FERROUS barrels Of coupons, and the rogues
might have got off with their spoils if they
had only taken the precaution of allotting
the prizes to agents of their own among
the audience instead of to themselves open
y. When, however, the chairman of the
University club drew both the first and
the second prizes, and was naively con-
graduated on his good luck by one of his
colleagues, the astuter part of Belfast be-
gan to scratch its head. The sequel was
the police court.

The citizens thought that their fair towns
woman was the object of some mysterious
persecution, and they organized for the

ONE YEAR AGO.

What stars have faded fEom our sky!
What hopes unfolded but to die?
What dreams SO fpndfy pondered DER
Forever lost the hue they wore:
How like death knei, sad and slow
Rolls through the soul, "one year agoI"
Where is the face we loved to gTeet2
The form that graeed the fresAie-sEa6
The gentle smile, the winning gsssy,
That blessed our lifepath day by day?
Where fed those accents soft anG low,
That thrilled our hearts lone year ago?"
All! vacant is the fireside chair,
The smile that won no longer there:
From door and hall, from porch aod lawn
The echo Of that voice is gone,
And we who linger only know
How much was lost lone yea1 ago!~
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and night;
Serene she sleeps, nor needs the tread
Of footsteps near her lowly bed:
Her pulseless breast no more may know
The pangs of life "one year ago."
But why repine2 A few more years,
A few more broken signs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have1ed
To that far world rejoicing go
To which she passed 'one year ago."

An Old Incubator.

The art Of Matching eggs by artificial
means is popularity supposed to be of recent
or, at least, modern invention. A COM
mon expression often applied to it is ''rais-
ing chickens by steam" But it is older
than the present civilization. The practice
was in vogue in Egypt when Solomon built
the temple at Jerusalem, and chickens by
the million have been brought into being
annually by this artificial means
The United States consul general Mt
Cairo, Egypt, John Caldwell, made per-
sonal inspection of the methods of incuba-
ton practiced in Egypt, and in one of his
reports gives full details of his investiga-
tions. He writes: With the purpose of
seeing the ancient industry for myself l
went into the district of Abae Abbasseeyeh,
north of Cairo, where had the good for
tune to find very respectable establish

short distance above the structure. / Dir

but on reaching it not a sign of life was
visible about the premises. There was
door in one corner of the structure and
window near it, but both were shut up
with heavy wooden shutters, and the door
was locked from the inside.
A mystical rap on the window by my
guide brought to the door one of the at

passages, peering into huge brick ovens or
