BISHOP vii SON.
A Great Man Whose Heart was In HIS

is wonder he succeeded in doing

day bless the good bishops name. In
time Of famine he threw open his own
house to the needy, and gave without
stint asking no man whether be were
saint or sinner, but only if he hum
! gered
When his own means were gone he
begged from England, though he was,
as one historian declares, "a man who
would not have held out his hat TO
save his own life.
He never desired pretermeut but

zeal Of one who has renouuCed mate

"See, my lords said Queen Caro-
line one day. IS he approached the
crowd of ehurehmen who surrounded
her, here is a bishop who does not
come for translation.
"No, please your majesty" said VIII

His island was, indeed, a poor spot;
he had welded it for life.
One day in the marbet-place a little
girl Of seven years crossed his path.
She was rosy-cheeSed, hrghtcyed,
bare of head and feet. and with a rush
Of love the gray old bishop pattei her
head saying, God bless YOU, my
child" The little maid courtesied.
God bless YOU too, sir said she.

Not q Suitable Present.

From the Detroit Free Press.
He told the clerk in the book store tina. he
wanted to purchase something that would be
suitable present for young lady. The clerk
brought out albums, books. gold pens and PEN
ellis and card cases. but nothing seemed TO suit
As the last resort he showed the young man an
engagement calend ara beautiful little tablet
on which to record the engagements for each
day OF the week.
Quite the fad now" he explained rs lie dis
played the calendar. 'Aii Young ladies' feel the
need OF them, especially during the season..
What is it?" asked the young man.
An engagement calendar" replied the clerk.
'She ii find 1t Invaluable"
You think she would like one?" asked the
young man with forced calmness.
I'm sure she would, il che hasn'. one al

Well, l want to say to you that she

control OF his temper. II know her and you
don T. and want you to understand SIR that
she has no use for any such calendar. She
doesn't have to keep any records of her engage

been engaged, and any man who says sae will
ever be engaged to any one else, or that she
has to put 1T down on a tablet to remember
it, has got to fight me. That's all there is to
