Quick and witty.

Lord Young is said to be one of the
ablest Scotchmen on the bench or at the
bar. At least, he has ready tongue.
One day in September he was driving
into town from his place in the country
when helmet an acquaintance. "Hallo!"
said the latter, what are you doing
here? / thought all respectable people
were out of town" WELL" said the
other, shave you seen anything to make
you alter your opinion? / haven't"
At the time of the general election of
1892, he was visiting at Dalmeny house,
and the report came that Lord Wolmer,
now earl of Selborne, had been returned
for the Western division by majority
of three, over Mr.. 7. r. Buchanan. Soon
after some one came in and said that the
majority was 800. He added that Lord
- and Lord - had voted for VOL
mer. "Ah," said Young, ''that accounts
for the two ciphers."-Youth's Com
panion.

TREE IN A TOMR

CThis Chestnut Thrives in Queer Place.
supported by two small futed pillars.
His hands are folded on his breast,
with his sword between them, and his
helmet is by his side. The inscription
above him tells that ''he was solemnly
here inferred with great lamentation,"
also that he was thought worthy the
honor to be high sheriff of this county"
Many years ago the village school
children used to sit on benches in the
chancel and play with horse chestnuts.
One day nut fell in a crevice behind
the tomb and CHANGED to strike soil
fertile enough to cause it to sprout.
Year by year it has grown, until now
it is a full-grown tree, casting its shade
over the form of the stone knight.
The mystery of it's living and thriv-
ing have never been solved, but in all
the darkness and mustiness OF, the an
cient church the tree grows, andyearly
buds, leaves and blossoms with the un.
failing instinct which abundant soil,
frequent rains and generous sunshine
are alone supposed to foster.
The inhabitants of Kempsey proudly
cherish their historic tree, and at the
time of the church's restoration the
little chestnut tree was carefully board
ed up to prevent it from injury. The
illustration is taken from painting
by Col. j. A. Temple, Bengal staff corps.

Client English Church.

Client EnRIfsh Church-
The little parish of Kempsey is one of
the most picturesque in England. 1t is
situated on the banks of the Severn,
about four miles from Worcester. Its
proudest feature is the little church
which has been standing nobody knows
how long, but which was carefully re-
stored in 1865. Its second lease of life,
therefore, dates back earlier than the
birth OF many venerated sanctuary.
In this church there is a monument
built of solid stone and curiously
carved, erected to the memory of Sir
Edmund Wylde, who died in 1920, at
the age of 80. The recumbent figure
of the knight lies under stone canopy,

is aristocratic, handsome and c]eyer

these favorable points is too evident foI
his critics to refrain from an occasional

10 push himself into the position What
We need in the United States today Is
more patriotism and less politics as poll
