Forgot His Name.

Dr. Beverly Cole is very absentminded. Though he has wonderful faculty for reoollecting faces, he can never remember name or date, and this weakness causes him endless embarrassment.
 He always calls in person at the branch postofflce for his mail, and the postal clerk hands it out without a word, as he knows the doctor. Cole went to the office recently, and there was a new face at the window He stopped and after few mo- ments pause inquired;
 "Any mail for meP''
 What name, please?"
 ''Let me see-ah," and he racked his brain, but the name had escaped him. Ip confusion he walked to and fro in the office and was on the point of going home in despair when he saw friend coming.
 ''Ah, now have it, !" he said to himself. Hell call mo by name. e.''
 How are you, doctorS" was the friends greeting. The doctor was so mad he wouldn't speak to him. Finally he turn ed, and seizing the acquaintance by the arm demanded:
 What in the devil is my name any waya'
 Whats the matter with youp Are you crazy9'
 No, but my name has escaped me-"
 Haven't you any of your cardsP"
 "By love, I never thought of that" He hastily fished out his cardcase, and drawing out pasteboard read it eagerly.
 Cole Beverly Cole. That's it" and he got his mail. San Francisco Post.

"If," said an old sohoolmaster to 8 visitor, 'certaip pupils used half as much ingenuity and application In finding out facts as they do in fnd- ing out ways to be wrong and ex- cuses for them, they would become ex- cellent scholars. There's Tipldns now. gazing out of the window. He never cares to learn enything, but he Is al- ways ready with more or less in- genious blunder. Let's try him."

 Gather in your eyes and your wits from the outer empyrean for mo- ment and tell us what is the differ. ence between the meaning of the word granite and that of the word 'ponl.. granate?"
 ''No difference, sir."
 ''Then why do we sometimes say granite and sometimes 'pomgranatep'"
 "When we are in g. hurry, sir, we say colloquially granite, but if we have plenty of time we take pains and say 'pomgranate. ,"
 "Let me compliment you on the ip- genuity of your answer, Tinkins. Now you may go and look up the definitions of those two words in the Unabridged, and write down each definition for me ten times. The class in rhetoric will return to their seats. ."--St Louis Re- public.
