He had been standing on the corner
for thirty-eight minutes waiting for a
car. During that time it had rained
steadily and half a dozen cars had passed
him-going in the wrong direction. For
the last twenty minutes he had been
saying things that he never saw in his
prayer book and stamping his feet as if
annoyed. Finally a policeman sauntered
past.

"Wait a minute or two, NJ. Renan
and then we shall be happy to heal

.sTo be sure, Herr Professor; that is
just what my father thought when,
after three nights exposure to the open

On January 2, 1893, before our
next issue will have appeared, will
take their seats the corps of officers

How He Managed.

A young man living in Detroit started
out to rent a fiat, but at every place
advertised he was met by the question,
Chow many children?' AS soon as he
answered he was told that he could not
have the fiat, as children were consid-
cred a nuisance.
Tired out he approached the last on
the list.
"How many in the familyY' asked the
landlord.
"Two-just two" was the ready an.
swer.
The landlord was much pleased and
at once drew up a lease, and the next
day the family moved in,. and were
snugly settled when the angry landlord
came tearing up the stairs.
"What-what is this, sir? You have
cheated and deceived me. You told me
there were only two in the family"

family of two children"
"But you didn't say children
"And you didn't ask me. What con
stitutes a family, l should like to know
if it isn't the children. You should bt
more explicit in your questions, my
friend"
The landlord raved and fumed, but i
was too late, and it made him more
angry to know that he had set the tral

that to the owner, Mr.. w. j. McNa-

O REMEMBERED.

We rose on Christmas morning
and looked in one sock and then in
another, to see what Santa Claus
had brought. Then we looked in
each shoe, then in IA pair of antiquat-
ed gum boots, that happened to be
hard by. Then we looked in our
pantaloons and under the bed. Ex-
amined the bed carefully and still
bore that same expectant feeling
as all people bear as this seaso re-
turns and re-returns. But all in
vain. There was not a cigar in the
holder nor a flask in the laundry
bag. There was not a gold-headed
cane in the corner nor a cent in the
shoes. All our idle dreams vanished,
"gone g%limmering with the things
that we're and are not" and we drop
ped our fair form back upon the rest

THERE seems to be no assigned
cause for frequent outbreaks of An
archism which have characterized the
history of civilized nations for the
past few years. The mass of the
people (outside the silver producing
states) probably never was more
prosperous than in the present time,
and yet the discomfort could not be
more marked. Especially is this
true in France where flaming edicts,
and threats of revolution and decim-
alton are quite the common thing

THE statue of silver, which is now
turning the world crazy, instead OF
being solid, according to contract,
will most probably contain a pretty
good sized core of some cheap com
position which modern science can
easily produce, of the same specific
gravity as silver, and then who
knows that after a few rains it will
be found that the whole statue is OF
zinc and lead merely washed in silver.

Too Much.

TOO MuCn.
He had trundled weighty triplets when his
wife was wrapped in slumber;
He had got up every morning and had built
the kitchen fire;
He had pounded on her carpets and had sawed
up cords of lumber,
And had stretched with endless patience
several miles of stiff clothes wire.
He had sworn off on his smoking just to help
her on her missions,
And had matched whole coils Of ribbons,
with no thought of the disgrace;
He had eaten several samples at her cooking
exhibitions,
With a moaning in his stomach and a smile
upon his face.
He had borne the shirts she made him, and
his courage ne'er fOrsoOk him;
He had stood the socks she darned him,
though the agony was keen;
He had worn her colored neckties, though his
dearest friends all shook him.
And the clothes that she selected he dis
played with humble mien.
But when one night she showed him some
pajamas she had made him
And informed him she expected that in them
he would abide,
He quailed before this torture and the thought
of it dismayed him.
And he gave one look remorseful and he laid
right down and died.

Twas Christmas night,
The light was low,
Time flew apace,
He rose to 60.
Into the hall
He stepped; but she
Stayed where she was,
Quite timidly.
"Come out" he said,
"No, no." she cried,

And then she sighed.
"Afraid?" he laughed
With gentle roar,
And then he looked
Above the door.

All in a row
