A Forretful Bishop.

An English bishop, noted for the
shortness Of his memory, was one day
waiting at a station for train. Being
in good time, his lordship was, indulg-
ing in solitary trot up and down the
platform. While thus engaged, he came
in contact with young officer whose
face seemed familiar to him. Meeting
him again, he said Good morning."
At the next renconter the bishop stop
ped, saying, Glow is your father"
The gallant soldier replied, "He has
been dead for many years. The bishop
tried again with the query, Glow is
your mother?' "Well,' said the Off
Ger, smiling, 81 think she must be all
right, or you would have heard had she
been indisposed. -
The bishop walked away, but his
curiosity was greatly aroused. Seeing
the station master, he at once asked
him if he could enlighten him as to
who the young officer was with whom
he had been conversing. "Oh," replied
the station master, "why, your lord

he delighted in telling, 81 worked I'M
ceasingly to acquire a knowledge of the
language and got on fairly we'll. But
the slang that found so prevalent baf-
fed me more than anything else. I
gave performance in Detroit one night
and met with reception that warmed
my heart toward her people. Among
other things, this appeared in one of
the papers next morning: Here an
ugly, little, bowlegged chap, whose
clothes hung loosely about his ungainly
person, waddled to the footlights. But,
sakes alive, how he did play the fiddle =
CHOW, couldn't make out what
that 'sakes alive meant, 80 I timidly
approached gentlemanly citizen, told
him Of my inability to grasp the mean

expression was intended to be compli-
mentary.
"He kindly read it and replied,

A Brave Briton.

When the attack was made on Sidon,
during the war with Syria, it became
necessary for the British troops to ad-
vance across long, unprotected bridge,
in the face of battery of six guns,
which completely commanded the ap.
proach. The men were unwilling to ex-
pose themselves to certain death, when
Arthur Cumming, carefully dressed in
full uniform, stepped forward to the
middle of the bridge. 1t was immedi-
ately swept by the fire of the battery.
When the smoke had rolled away, there
stood Cumming intact, carefully brush
ing the dust from his boots, after which
he stood erect, fixed single glass in
his eye and looked back at the men.
This was too much, and they captured
that bridge and battery with whoop.

A Former Chinese Elect.

It consisted chiefly Of old junks which
had not been in the water for more than
30 years. During this heightened period
the sea had reoeded, and the land had
formed to the extent Of more than a
mile, the consequence being that these
ancient vessels were high and dry, their
masts, sails and gear had rotted away
from the long exposure to the sun and
rain, the paint had peeled from their
sides, and, in some cases, the very
planking had been stolen for firewood.

Gov. Brady in nm Interview Outlines
Few Reforms He Would Like
to See Inaugurated in Alaska.

skaguay, Alaska, Sept. 10, via Seat
tie, Wash, Sept. 26.-Gov. Brady in an
interview outlined few reforms he
would like to see inaugurated in
Alaska.
He is in favor of high license, and
thinks that a license of $1,000 must
be more preferable than the present
prohibitive law, which is not prohibi-
tive.
The governor believes that Were the
territory allowed to tax the wharves,
the liquor traffic and impose tax Of
two or three cents on each case
of salmon, the government of the
territory could be operated very
gracefully from the proceeds. He is
opposed to the fee system of gov
ernmental officers. He thinks that it
all should be on a salaried basis, be-
cause the chance for malfeasance is
then reduced to the minimum. He
spoke about the Carter bill and its
provisions relative to the codifying of
the laws of Alaska and expressed the
fear that unless active measures were
taken to head off the move con-
gress might adopt general meth cd
of government for all her detached
territory-Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippines-in which event
Alaska would be in just about as for
lorn a position as she is now.
