Literary Taste.
The story is recalled of young Vir.

some years ago, in the days when DIR.
Holmes went to dinners. Seated next
to her was homely, little old gentle
man whose name she did not catch. He
began to talk with her and asked hez
how she passed her time in the country.

said.
''And what do you read9' asked the
little man.
"WeIl, the 'Autocrat Of the Break

ed the little old man with sign of dis

"My father and may not be judges
of literature, said Miss Virginia airi-
~ and with faint accent of scorn,
"but when we get to the end Of the
'Autocrat' we generally turn back to
the beginning and read it over again. "
The little old man smiled at this and
was disposed to be friendly, but Miss
Virginia was so displeased with his tone
concerning the ''Autocrat" that she met
him with chilly indifference.
AS soon as the guests went into the
drawing room her hostess whispered
reproachfully to her:
"You didn't .seem to find DR.. Holmes

Another. story of Holmes wit is told.
One day old DR.. Peabody was to meet
him at certain place The venerable
professor rode in carriage. When he
got there, he was met by Holmes, who
had walked. Near by was a statue Of
Eurydice. And Holmes said:
"Ah, you ride, see!''

That night he went back home and
said to his wife:
Holmes got off a good joke today"
His wife asked him what it was.
"Why, l was to meet him down at
