THE END.


The conductor and tho motorman are
also of types different from their city
brethren They come from the neigh
boring countryside, and they call each
other by their front names-Obed and
Ezekiel, or other pranomina of that
sort.
An old lady who had all her life been
the autocrat of the village in the Old
Colony, and who set out to take her
first trip on the trolley car which pass
ed her door, found, after she had gone
something like half mile ON the way,
that she had forgotten her gloves She
at once ordered the conductor to turn
back. Accustomed, like all his fellow
villagers, to yield unquestioning obcdi-
ence to commands from that quarter,
he held brief conference with the mo-
tornan. The car then reversed IT'S
course, halted before the ola lady's gate
na waited until She waaflea into the
heuse aud MP stairs to get her gloves
ont of the bureau drawer, and then
came back again, the other passengers,
with the national docility of thc Amer
lean people, submitting accomplishing
~ to the delay.-Sylyester Baxter in
Harper's Magazine

A Military Trick.

Ono Of our German American citizens
related the following incident of the
German revolution of 1913.
"We were short of men and had a
large number of prisoners to look after.
That did not worry us as long as we
were not moving, but one day we had
to make forced march, The country
through which we were to pass was
hostile, and extreme watchfulness was
necessary. We had few enough men as
it was, and we knew that those pris-
oners were ready to make dead run at
the first opening.
Finally young officer made bril-
liant suggestion, and it was promptly
carried out. We ripped the suspender
buttons from the prisoners trousers,
took away their belts and knew we had
them. Their hands We're busy after
that, and fast running was out Of the
question. We made the march safely,
and do not believe that even Yankee
ingenuity could have invented SIM
pier solution. New York Tribune.

WHAT THE MATTER WAS.
Littlei Game of Two Choir Members Which,
the Minister Spoiled.

A minister's widow tells this:
"My husband, she said, chad brown
eyes that turned deeply, darkly black
when he was angry, and which danced
with most miraculous merriment when
he was amused. Naturally, in the
course of long life with him, came
to know the varying expression of those
eyes pretty we'll. used to watch his
eyes when he was preaching to know
how things were going with him and,
incidentally, with the congregation. I
remember once in the midst of most
earnest discourse to have seen him stop
suddenly for the space of minute, net
more. his eyes growing strangely black,
then Frightening again with that ire.
sistible twinkle, though the rest Of his
features remained quite grave through
out. As l saidsA was only for NC
ment; then he lesumed his sermon as
before.

Why, l came SO near laughing on.
in church that there was no fun in it,
he said. OF course The choir is hidden
from the congregation behind its pro-
tecting screen in the rear of the church,
but it chances to be exactly in my line
of vision as stand on the rostrum.
When stopped in my sermon today, it
was because happened to glance choir
ward and saw our new soprano and new
tenor having quiet game of cards be-
hind the screen. They must have felt
my gaze upon them. for when they
looked up and caught my eye those
cards disappeared SO suddenly and nys-
teriously l thought that in spite CT ev-
erything should burst out laughing. "

he would have had the appearance of
having helped you. -
At last said:

this. ("
Then he cried out:
"Why, bless you, Captain Mordaunt,
! will report it myself. If they don t
think I deserve some consideration, they
can go aud be hanged"
