Pretty When She Didn't Sing.

From the Chicago Tribune.
She was visiting the city. and she was
the prettiest girl in the room. When she
stood up to sing the other girls regarded
her enviously. pretty girl who can sing
is doubly dangerous, and they considered
that the visitor had already received more
than her proper share of masculine atten-
tion-
While she was arranging her music and
whispering to the accompanist, the two
girls just behind the piano were exchang-
ing condolences.
girl, vexedly. She's captured all the men
already with her airs and graces, and if
she sings well-and l just know she does
We won't have a bit of fun tonight"
"Oh, yes We WILL" answered the second
girl. smiling happily. Wen be all right"
But the other one was not to be so easily
copsoled.
II wonder who aske1 her to sins?' she
fretted. 1T must have been some one who
knows all about her little tricks, too, for
all the girls in the club are talking about
it,
Il asked her." said the second girl, calm
lE You'll know why in a minute. Just
wait Bit
Two minutes later the first girl leaned
over the other and touched her arm
Why, she makes awful faces" she whfs-
.pered, delfghtedly. She's positively ugly
when she opens her mouth that way"
II know it, responded the second girl,
with satisfied smile. That's why asked
her to sing"
You clever darlingr exclaimed the first
girl; and only the fact that there were
others present kept them from husging
each other as they urged the visitor to sing
again.

The Letter "a'' and Its Victims.
From the Westminster Gazette

At the celebrated election in 1885. at which
Mr.. Gladstone lost his seat from the uni
versity. his opponent was Mr.. Hardy. The
practice then (and, for aught I know to
the contrary, 1t may be SO still at con-
tested election) was for each elector to re-
cord his vote by word of mouth before
tellers for each party sitting in the convo-
cation house or some other suitable place
of meeting. The late Prof. Henry Smith
was acting as teller for Mr.. Gladstone,
when an urcouth country parson entered.
and to the usual question for whom he
wish ed to record his vote replied in his
confusion, II vote for Mr.. Glad, I mean
for 'Ardy.' Il claim that vote" quietly
put in Prof. Henry Smith. mo. no. pro-
tested the old clergyman. Il didn't finish
the name" You didn't even begin the
other" was the professors dry retort.
A story Is told of eminent legal prac-
titioner who was afflicted with similar
difficulty in pronouncing his aspirates.
many years ago. He had particular dis
like to a late learned lord chancellor, who
had published book upon hymns. Upon
seeing his rival enter the court on one oc-
casion he was overheard TO mutter: Ere
