Grasped an Idea of Our Size.
Comedian William B. Hoey once en-
countered distinctly ingenious British
er. The comedian formed his acquaintance
during one of the Lucania's incoming voy-
ages, and the two breakfasted in New York
together.

The Britisher took him seriously. Sure

And, accompanied by the actor, now thor
oughly alive to tho humor of the incident
he found himself few minutes later in
the line of ticket buyers in the Grand

Not ALWAYS the Same.

1t is considered very vulgar to say port
wine" or SHERRY wine" In England no
well bred person speaks Of either as any
thing but port" or sherry" No well

speak of wines except as win de cham

In which the good manners of one country
are the vulgarity of another.-New York

Nothing better shows how the name OF
Abraham Lincoln is engraved on the hearts
of his countrymen as the best type of the

that nowadays when man dies who was

martyr that fact alone suffices to spread
his obituary notice through the newspa-
