HE HELD THE TRICK.
Snara Moments.


Russian priest was SO devoted to card
playing that he played up to the last moment
before commencing the church service.
On one occasion, having particularly good
hand dealt him, he thrust the cards into his
pocket. intending to return and finish the
game after service
Unlucsiy the cards fell out on :he church
floor, 10 the extreme scandal of the congrega-
nOn.
The witty priest, however, was fully equal
to the occasion.
At the conc usion of the service he beckoned
to one of the choristers and asked him tho
names of several of the cards, which the boy
knew directly.
He Their suddenly asked the lad the name OF
the next saints day, which the boy could not
tell.
''Seel' cried the priest, turning to the con-
gregatfon; "you teach your children the
names OF every card in the pack, and leave
them ignorant OF their religion. Let this be
the last time am compelled TO bring playing
cards into the church to shame you," and
picking up his hand lie made an honorable re.
