The owner of paper lay dying in his

on his brow SO calm and fair; but a
printer knelt beside him as his life
blood ebbed away. and asked the dying
editor if he had a word to say. The

grabbed the printers fist: ''Well, at

''Take message and token to that
city man of mine, that all his worn-out
chestnuts he had better put in brine.
There's his joke about the weather,

gag about the fellow who is always

fond of, on the man who peddles books,

go fishing in the brooks; just to save

A MIGHTY HUNTER.
Thiers' Remark, Which Was Truly French
in It's Wit.

Thiers' Remark, Which Was Truly French
in Its wit.
1t is the custom in France for all the
fashionable world to go shooting in the
autumn. Every possessor of landed
estate invites his friends from Paris to
visit him at this season, and every Wis
itor Is expected to distinguish himself
with the gun.
When Adolph Theirs, the petit bour-
geois statesman of France, became
president Of the republic he was in
vited one autumn to take part in the
sports at the country estate of M. CAST
mir-Perier. He accepted the invitation,
and consequently had to appear on the
hunting field in shooting dress and
armed with a gun. The whole enter
tainment was really in his honor.
M. Cashier Perier was aware that
his old friend, now the president,
knew nothing whatever about hunting.
But he instructed his gamekeeper to
follow NJ. Theirs about and see that.
in one way or another, the great guest
of the occasion ''bagged" more game
than any other person.
The gamekeeper led the president TO
a certain spot and said to him: "Your
excellency. thcsgame will all be driven
past this place. You have nothing to
do but remain here and If you shoot at
all you are bound to kill something"
But the president, to his credit, de-
clined this opportunity, and insisted
upon travelling about with the other
hunters-exccpt that he never went to
the right place and never got shot at
all The gamekeeper was in despair.
The distinguished guest kept him hop
ping about from place to place but al
ways out of range of the game
Nevertheless, by collision with 9TH
crs, the gamekeeper SO managed it
that when the days sport was over
NJ. Theirs, who had not discharged his
gun all day, found large pot of game
at his feet, which was declared to be
his bag"

SUNSET.

After day Of tempest,
A battle Of wind and rain,
just when the gloom was thickest
The sun shone forth again
Lit with blaze Of glory
The track Of the seething waves;
Fell like an angels blessing
On the desolate church-yard graves;
Gave heart OF hope to the fisher
Yearly faring home:
Frightened the brow of the good wife
Watching till he should come.
And the words Of the Holy Scripture
Were borne to my soul again
: As thought Of the wonderful gladness
OF sunshine after rain;
And thought that ever the Master,
As once In Galilee,
Is ready to calm the tumult
OF storm on land'or sea.
And yet when the gloom is thickest,
And tho day Is almost done.
He sends US cheer ana courage
In the CLEAN OF the setting sun

to their hearts when they go to chapel
to say their prayers, sewing his last
letter into their dresses. treasuring
some little keepsake in their pock-
cts. And when they meet one
can see how the father returns
his daughters feeling by his tender
clasp of her pure, young hand and the
adoring affection with which The looks
