SERVANTS EXCUSES.
One Woman Who Was Clever Enough
to CircumVent Them.

One Woman Who Was Clever Enough
to CircumVent Them.
We have heard the story of the Cana
dian mistress who. with seven servants
in her house, was obliged to go to the
garden and pick berries for the table,
Each Of the servants declined the task
with the stereotyped excuse, 1T ain t
my place to pick berries. Ord. in his
"History of Cleveland, " relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who
while accepting her servants' excuse,
yet made them do her will
In one of her visits to Scarborough
Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy,
had family pie for dinner, which she
directed the footman to convey to the
bakehouse. This the man declined to
do as not belonging to his place, or
rather, as derogatory to hiss conse-
quence. The lady then moved the ques-
ton to the joachman but found still
stronger objection.
To save the pride of both Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to the
shop herself. She ordered one man to
harness and bring out the horses and
the other to mount and ride behind and
thus the errand was done with all honor
and ceremony. Then in due time the
coachman was ordered to put to sec
ond time and the footman to mount be-
hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back
the pie in the same dignified state.
Now" said the lady to the coach
man, you have kept your place, which
is to drive, and you yours, F" to the foot
man. (which is to wait, and l mine,
which is to have my pie for dinner

LOCATING A COUPLET.
A Familiar Quotation Ascribed to
Butler Is Placed.

A Familiar Quotation Ascribed to
Butler Is Placed.
Few popular quotations have more
engaged the pens of critics than the fol-
lowing:
For he that fights and runs away
Will live to fight another day.
These lines are almost universally
supposed to form part Of "Hudibras, "
and so confident have even scholars been
on the subject that in 1884 wager was
made at Bootle of 20 to 1 that they
were to be found in that inimitable
poem. Dodsley was refeNcd to as the
arbiter. when he ridiculed the idea of
consulting him on the subject, saying,
every fool knows they are in 'Hudi-
bras.
George Selwyn, who was present,
said to Dods'ey, pray, sir, will you be
good enough, then, to inform an old fool,
who is at the same time your wise
worship's very humble servant, in what
canto they are to be found?'
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find the passage. The next
day came, with no better success, and
the sage bibliophile was obliged to con-
fess that man might be ignorant CT
the author of this we'll known couplet
without being absolutely fool" But
Ter has indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar. The one that comes
nearest is the following. in "Hudibras, I"
book 3, canto 3, verse 243:
For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
The fact, however. is that the co1 plot,
thus enormously ascribed to the author
of "Hudi bras," occurs in srall vol
ume of miscellaneous poems by Sir John
Mennes, written in the reign of Charles
u.-ExchaDge.

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. IN fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
For years 1 suffered from a severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plications, but they had no effect what
