George Butler, Canon of Winchester
Cathedral, was the son OF Doctor But
Ter, the head master of Harrow. The
boy grew up to be u dignifed aud
serious mau, II power in philanthropy
and the church, but that he had a Ge-
mure sense OF humor is shown by one
auecdote OF his earliest years.
Doctor Butler wore tue suit OF
black, with knee breeches and cloth
CATERS, aud with his powdered hair was
figure calculated to move any school
boy TO admiration aud awe. One morning
little George watched him as he set out
for school, aud observed that his father
wore only one gaiter. When Doctor
Batter returned he said to the lad;
"You were here, George, when went
away this morning. Didn't you see that
had only one gai,er"
"Yes, papa"
"Then why didn't you tell met"
"Because," answered George, limo.
Gently, ~ thought 1t would amuse the
boys. ."-Philadelph Record.
