A Witty Priest.

The death of Father Healy, of Bray,
removes from Irish life the wittiest
Irishman of his time. Even in London
he was all but lionized in society, and
the shoal of invitations which always
followed his visits had generally tho
effect of shortening his sOjOurn. He
was we'll known to every public man
of both parties, and Lord Salisbury
We'd with Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Nor
lev with Mr. Balfour in appreciation
of his wonderful fund of humOr.
His most famous bon mot was prOba-
bly, his answer to question once put
to him by Mr.. Balfour. Tell me frank
", Father Healy," said the then chief
secretary, do the Irish people really
hate me as much as their leaders say?'
"Well, I'll tell you this" was the re-
Spouse, IF they only hated the devil
half as much as they hate you there
would be no necessity for us priests in
the country" Even on his deathbed
his humor did not desert him. A few
hours before his death one of his medi'
cal attendants had occasion to ask him
a question in reference to his breathing
"Are you distressed father? was the
question. mot at all, doctor" said tho
diving wit; ''but on the contrary, lots
of fellows owe me money"

Pollard scandal, applied for position

When she disclosed her identity the ad-
vertiser told her to begOne and was
greatly shocked because Miss Pollard
had had the temerity to respond to her

found a large bunch of beautiful roses

Nebraska's appeal for her stricken

would once more yield generous sup

1t has often been regretted in a saw

but even II such wish had ever been

half complied with by the killing of one

Officials Of railroads at Chicago de-
clare that it will be utterly impossible
to maintain through grain rates SO long
as trunk lines persist in billing to actt'
tiOus destinations. 1t is q notorious
fact that nearly all the trunk lines make
q practice of billing grain to some int
rior point taking higher than sea
board rate, and changing the billing in
transit to suit themselves. This manip
ulation gives trunk lines 3 to 5 cents q
hundred to buy business with, as the
excess rate is deducted from the
through rate before division.
