Two men who sat near the window OF

wbiled away the time by watching the
women go by and commenting en- their
umbrellas.
The storm had abated about an hour
before, and the sun had peered through
a rift in the clouds, but, for all that,
the first pedestrian went stalking past
with her umbrella still held aloft.

The friends of a certain profession
a! woman in Washington tell a story
on her which they call huge joke.
There is baby in the professional
womans family. The baby has a
nurse. It has also a doting grand
father, who came to see it very early
one morning recently. AS he came
near the house he saw the baby car
riage standing near the side door. The
house doors were still locked. Nobody
was stirring. The grandfather looked
into the carriage, and there, to hill
Amusement, lay the precious baby. II

He Has Preached Sixty Years,

Elder Tice Spear~is the oldest Chris
tan preacher within our knowledge.
Mr.. Spear is eighty-seven years old,
and has been preaching sixty of them.
He walks to all Of his appointments
and carries large valise containing his
earthly possessions. He is one of the
few who preach only for the good of
the cause. During the sixty years of
his ministry he has not received more
than $3.50, and has never solicited Il
donation. Notwithstanding his ad-
vanced age, Mr.. Spear gets about as
lively as a boy of eighteen, and says
he hopes to be able to preach his last
sermon on his one-hundredth birthday.

1T MADE HIM WEEP.
But He Gavo His Daughter with . Clear
Coincidence.

But He Gave His Daughter with . Clear
Conscience.
Delaney Wallingford hesitated with
the hand upon the knob of the door to
the private Office, says the Cleveland
Leader. He was about to ask Henry
Faversham for the hand of his beauti-
full daughter. For moment the young
man was inclined to procrastinate, but
he drew himself together at last and
walked in. The rich man received him
kindly and asked him to sit down. Be-
fore Wallingford had begun upon the
subject that was nearest his heart,
however, the voice of Mrs. Faversham
husband requested his visitor to step
into an adjoining room until the lady
had got through with him. Look
here"' said the mother of the only girl
that Delaney Wallingford had ever
loved, as she rushed into her husbands
presence. II want you to give an ac-
count of yourself! You didn't get
home until long after the hour I set
for you last night, and you have
guilty look. Who's that young woman
out there in the front otlice-that
braZen thing with clothes that are too
rich for any working girl to wear?
Where do you intend to take your
lunch today? I'm going to go along
with you! Here, l need $3.50. 1ndorse
this check Let me see those letters
in that pigeon-hole! You're up to
something. Henry Faversham, and I'm
going to find out what it is! Discharge
that girl out there and get homely
one! I'll be down here again tomor-
row to see whether you have obeyed
my orders or not. When you get home
tonight-and see that you're on time
I'll have some more to say to you. Re-
member expect you to come to Muir
kle's for lunch. I haven't time to talk
to you this morning Give me those
letters you have in your pocket!
One of her lady friends was waiting
for her outside in the carriage, so she
had to leave him long before she had
finished her remarks.

have come to ask you for her" There
was deep pity in the look that Henry
Faversham bestowed upon his visitor,
and, after long silence, he said: i've
always had sort of liking for you.
I've thought you were pretty sensible
sort of chap. You heard what was said
in here few minutes ago, didn't you?"
Delaney confessed that he had heard
it ALL well, all right, then. My
conscience is clear. Take her, and
may the Lord have mercy on your
soul. Her mother was sweet and timid
once" When they shook hands De-
lancey Wallingford saw tears in the
old mans eyes.
