icanssm.
A dinner was arranged In n southern
city in honor Of visitor from north
crn state, and the host, when the cig1rs
were lighted, began TO rally his guest
by repeating some of the usual section
al jokes, says the Youths Companion.
I'VE now have northern Yankee at

hope that he viii not be intimidatcd by
the presence OF so many southcrncrs.
We can assure him that rcvolvers and
bowic-l1nivcs have been left in the
anteroom, and that he Is safe, at least
until we get our hats and arms"
Everybody laughed and expected
that tho visitor would respond TO this
badinagc by making full use Of his
privilege OF ridiculing southern pccul-
iaritics. He surprised the company by
speaking Ia another vein.
''Our host" he began, travelled with

example TO follow, and invariably put
myself down, not as northcrner, but
simply and proudly as an American.
What seems to me singular Is the fact
that two men, who were content to
travel all over Europe rs Americans,
shoold fancy that they arc anything
else Ia their own country. / do not
know why I should be anything at
home that ! am not when 1 have
crossed the sea and gone among for
eigncrs."
by this time the company perceived
that they were to have something bet
ter than old-timc Yankee talk and Gee
tionnl quips. They encouraged the Wis.
itor to continue by applauding him
heartily.
lie ended by making n cornmon-scnse
appeal for a more general use of the
good old word american"

The company rose when the visitor
sat down and joined In singing "lInil

after dinner speeches which they had
ever heard, and congratulated him
heartily upon his success In substituting

"A Snowbalilnc Gang In a Cross Street De-
feated by Strategy.
THAT was rather n neat way n friend
OF mine got the better of hoodlnm
gang OF snowbnllcrs one day recently"
said IIornby at the club, according to
the New York Sun. There were about
fifty boys OF varions sizes and ages,
most of them above ten years, and they
had taken complete possession OF a
block on one OF the cross streets up
town. Every man who came into that
street was snowballed out OF IL, and
the drivers and their horses were mcr-
cilcssly pcltcd. Whenever policeman
would come in sight loolsorHs would
notify the gang and they would move
20 another block and the reign Of ter
ror would begin there. If n man de-
cidcd to chase one part OF the gang tho
others would move up close behind him
and make the attack SO terrific that in
nine cases out of ten he would be glad
to flee for his safety.
"This friend Of mine happened along
when such bombardmcnt was going

Cases In which Matr;mony Thought
About Complications.

Cases In Nhich MARI. tAouy AfoufsAt
About Complications.
The two following cases would be eff
ficult TO surpass. One was in England,
the other in Australia. Some time ago
a marriage took place in birmingham,
which brought about n very compli-
Gated state 90 family relations. The
woman had been married three times
before, and each time had taken for her
husband widowcr with children.
Her fourth husband was widower,
and, as he had children by his first
wife. who was herself widow with
children when he married her, the new
ly married couple started their matri-
monial companionship with n family
composed Of the progeny Of eight
previous marriages.
Another curious case was that of DIR.
King. of Adelaide, wiaowcr, who
married Miss Norris. Shortly after
the doctors honeymoon Che doctor'ssdn
married sister Of the doctors wife.
Then n brother OF the doctors wife
married the doctors daughter. In 9TH
or words, the doctors son became his
stepmothcr's brothcr-in-law, and the
doctors daughter became her step
mothers sister-in-law. The doctor, by
the marriage of his son to the sister of
the doctors wife, became fathor-in-law

wife, by the marriage of her sister to

Of the brother of the doctors wife TO
the doctors daughter, the doctor be-
came father-in-law TO his brother-in-

an unsolved problem as TO what rela-
tionship the children of the contracting
parties are to each other.

A drinking horn OF marvellous work.

the New York Commercial Advertiser.
II is known throughout Europe as ''the
horn of Oldcnburg,r and has most
wonderful history. According 20 the
story, the great Ohio of Oldcnburg was
out hunting, and, becoming exhausted
from thirst and fatigue, sank upon the
earth with the exclamation: "Oh, God,
would had cool drink" The sound
Of his voice had scarcely died away
among the trees of the forest when sud-
denly a beautiful maiden appeared be-
fore him bearing a richly-carved drink
ing horn, filed 20 OVERLOOKING with
cool, sparkling water. Ohio was moro
captivated with tho beauty OF the horn
than hc was with that OF his fair bcne-
factress, and without even staying TO
say "Thanlxs," turned and ran NJ tho
top OF his speed, carrying the vessel
with him. To save himself from the
consequences of such peculiar theft,
Ohio bestowed the horn upon the
church, aud TO this day tho story, as
given above, Is told by the guides, who
display the relic TO the gaze Of curious
visitors
