when it was necessary for Myles-na-
Coppaleen to fire the shot which gives
to Danny Mann his quietus.
1t was then discovered that the gun
could nowhere be found.
Where's the gum" was now anx-
iously whispered from point to point.
The moment of its requirement was
at hand. One of the actors, however,
suddenly remembered that he had
bought a pound of biscuits on his way
to the theatre, and, hurriedly entering
his dressing-room, and emptying the
biscuits upon the table, he blew out the
bag just in the nick of time, popped
il loudly at the wing and the wicked
Danny rolled over into the water, shot
by paper-bag!

Too Exasperating.

A crusty old gentleman went down
the celler-steps the other day to draw
his customary mug of ale, accompanied
by many and particular instruction
from his wife to be very cautious, as
the mug was valuable.
At the bottom of the flight he
stumbled over box of empty bottles
and fell with tremendous crash
which was accompanied by scolding
voice from above:
Have you broken that mug, you
clumsy fellow"
Smarting with pain, and exasperatet
beyond endurance, he yelled
mo; but will" And he dashed II

one of Lord Zetland's party, who were
making inquiries into the condition Of
distressed district. They were cross
ing a lake; gale was blowing and
waves were dashing over the boat.
The gentleman referred to, had been
assured that an Irish peasant, if treated
well, will always agree with what is
said to him, rather than appear dis
agreeable. 1t struck the gentleman
that here was good chance to put the
assertion to the proof

An Amusing Case.

1t seems as if there can be no end to
the amusing cases that lawyers are
called upon to decide.
A certain well-known practitioner
had among his clients an impulsive old
farmer who had a serious difference
with cabinetmaker. AS is usual in
such matters in country districts, the
affair caused a great deal Of discus
sion among the neighbors, who several
ly allied themselves with one or other
of the contending parties.
At last a compromise was agreed to
by which the farmer was to take, in
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-02-20

full satisfaction Of all demands, the
cabinetmaker's note for 910 at six
months, payable in cabinet-ware.
The required papers arranging the
settlement having been duly executed
and delivered, it was generally sup
nosed that a quiet and amicable con-
cIusion had been arrived at
But just at the close Of the six
months, the farmer entered the law
yer's office, greatly agitated, and
plaintively exclaimed
81 say, Mr.. Smart, am I bound to
take coffins?"
On the note becoming due, the cab
inetmaker had refused to pay him any
other way.

A wall was Unnecessary.

In provincial town a rich but illit-
crate man had, on account of his
wealth, been elected to the position of
town councillor.
On one occasion the august body
were discussing the advisability of
building new wall to the local ceme-
terry.

NOTES OF INTEREST.

Curious human forms, outlined in
sandstone, we're found very recently in
a Mi3uesota quarry. With them were

Mr. Sturgeon was quick at repartees.
After Mr.. Charlesworth left the Con-

A Good Irish story.

A clerical traveller in Ireland not
Elong ago asked peasant how far it
was to certain village, and was an
Bwered, Two miles"
What! Only two miles?" said the
traveller, who had before traversed the
INSTANCE and found it long road
We'll, your reverence" answered the
peasant, sit is two miles sthrong and
srich. so to spake."
A somewhat similar story is told by
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-02-20

without destroying their identity. They
are simply outlines.
Four such bodies were found, each
one stretched at full length, with the
hands crossed on the breast. Except in
general way features could not be
distinguished. 1t could be seen, how
ever. that the heads vera well formed

A Scotchman was recently travelling

He'd Heard 1t Before.

The steamer was lying at Naples, and
we took the opportunity of visiting the
famous ruins of Pompeii. On my re-
turn to the ship was telling the Las

Now that the election was carried
on Friday last by those asking TO be
taken in to the corporate limits, we
hope that the citizens oftown will vote
unanimously on the question at the
election soon to be held. They should
do it; those owning property right on
the edge Of town aud who are virtual
ly part of it, should help to support it.
There are few, we know, who are
opposed to it, purely on narrow mind
ed principles, but we do not believe
there are enough who are so selfish as
to defeat it.
