Pat and the Battle,

"Pat, where did you get the whis.
ky?" asked one section hand of another.
"Whist!' said Pat. "Oi swoiped i:
from the private car dat was here"
"Pat, the brass collars are going to
miss it by and by. You better hide it, "
said the first speaker.
"Let's take this hand car and run
down the track a ways and bury it, "
said Pat.
The two got q hand car and told the
foreman they were going down the track
to get some potatoes for dinner. Away
they went down the track about mile.
"This is q good place." said Pat.
The two got off the car and buried the
bottle near the track.
"How will we know where we buried
it?'' said Pat.
"Cut a notch in the side of the car, "
said his companion. So a notch was cut
in the side of the car above where the
bottle was buried and the two t~arriers
returned to their work. That evening
they decided to go and dig up the bot
tie. Away they went.
"Where is the place." asked Pat.
II cut a notch in the car to show"
said the other.
"And begorra I forgot all about it
and moved the car" said Pat.-Topeka

One of His "Whust DaEs."

Andrew Lang once called at the house
of the late James Payn to inquire about
his health. The servant Informed him
in a broad accent that it was one of the
novelist's "whust days" Mr.. Lang i'm
agined that the servant referred to Mr..
Payn being worse and expressed his re-
greet and walked away. Butjthe woman
meant to say that it was 1.-THE day on
which Mr.. Payn was wonttto receive
three old friends, who made a four at
whist. Both gentlemen were amused at
the mistake which deprived each of the

One of Muller's Anecdotes.

Froude and Kingsley were special IA
vorites Of Professor Max Muller, accord
ing to his recently published memoirs.
Kingsley's refusal to pray for rain-or,
as his friend expresses it, to degrade his
sacred Office to that of a rainmaker Or a
medicine man-reminds tho professor
Of a story told to Kingsley by an Amer
lean:
In America we manage these things
better. A clergyman in a village on the
frontier between two Of our states pray
ed for rain. The rain came, and it soak
ed the ground to such an extent that the
young lambs in the neighboring state
caught cold and died. An action was
brought against the clergyman for the
mischief he had done, and he and his
parishioners were condemned to pay
damages to the sheep farmers. They
eve prayed for rain after that.-Lon-

An Arizona Rather.

They say that a man takes his life IN
his hand who sleeps on the ground in
Arizona" said a young civil engineer
the other day, "because there are SO
many snakes there. But unfortunately
men Of our profession cannot always
choose their sleeping place. Twas work

another fellow, and one night we were
obliged to lie down upon no better bed
than our %overooats stretched Oh the
ground. We were too tired to be nerv-
Gus and slept soundly till after mid
night, when my companion sprang up
suddenly, waking me with a start.

II don't hear him." I said. "Guess
you've had a nightmare" Sowo settled

friend leaped to his feet ONCE more, ex-'
claiming:
"There's a RATHER here, sure's fate,
and you'd better get up. I believe hos
under my coat"
It was queer that I couldn't hear it if
it was so neal I cautiously extended
my hand, feeling along the ground.
Yes, I know it was a foolish thing to
do, but we don't always stop to think.
Suddenly I burst out laughing.
Eyes" I said, "there is a RATHER
here, in your pocket too. You tell your
sweetheart not to write you letters on
such stiff paper"
We slept soundly for the rest Of the
night, but often since then I have guyed
