about a as much. All grocers sell it. 15c.

Patrick O'Mars, a private ID the Ninth
regulars, went to the colonel of his regi-
ment and asked for a two weeks leave
Of absence, says IN exchange. The colo
mel was q severe disciplinarian, who did
not believe in extending too many privi-
leges to his men, and did not hesitate in
using a subterfuge in evading the grant
ing of one.
"Well," said the colonel, "what do you
want a two weeks furlOugh for!"
Patrick answered: "Me wolfe is very
sick. and the children are not well, and if
We didn't mind, she would like to have me
home for a few weeks to give her a bit Of
assistance"
The colonel eyed him for a few minutes
and said: Patrick, | might grant your
request, but | got al etter from your wife
this morning saying that she didn't want
you home; that you were q nuisance and
raised the devil whenever you were there.
She hopes | won't let you have any more
~furloughs."
THAT settles it. I suppose I can't get
the furlough, then?" said Pat.

1t was Patrick'S turn now to eye the
colonel. as he started for the door. Stop

"Certainly. Patrick; what is it?'
You won't get mad, colonel, if | say

Sometimes a child in it's fearless indie
tendency has no respect for either persons
or things, as can be learned from the fol-
lowing little incident that happened the
other evening in a Cleveland home. Lit
tie Florence, the pet of the household. is
very naughty sometimes, and when she
does anything particularly bad her mother
and sisters tell her there is an angel that
watches over her n that she makes this
angel very sorry. Well. one day F7ossie
was as naughty as she could be n when
her sister Kate put her to bed that night
She told Flossie that she had made her
mamma and everybody else feel so badly
and that she had made the dear angel so
very, very sorry, because he saw her
when she was naughty, as he always saw
everything she did.
Flossie grew sober at this and looked up
at Kate, and Kate thought she was going
to be penitent, but Kate was wrong. The
little mischief inquiringly said:
Does the angel see everything I do,
Nate?"
Yes said her sister.
And then. to her horror, the child re-
marked:
4SWeIl, I do wish he'd quit a-rul5berin'.
A single piece of ready wit, which
saved Mr.. Clay from overwhelming de-
feat at a critical moment, affords an ex-
cellent example Of the demands made
uIVA lhe SluIIp OIdlOf, says the OutnS
Companion.
In 1876 Mr.. Clay voted for a new conn
pensation act of Congress. 1t aroused a
tornado Of popular wrath. Not even the
great c~on1In@mler could stand against this,
and he sagaciously resolved to try and
weather it. Meeting a staunch supporter
who had turned against him, he said:
Jack, you have a good fiint-lock, haven't
your

"Once it did, but only once"
"What did you do with it? Did you

mo. l picked the flint, and tried it

"Well," said Mr.. Clay. 81 have only
flashed once-on this compensation bill
and are you going to throw me away?''
MOP cried the hunter, touched in his
tenderest part. "No, Mr.. Clay, l will
pick the flint and try you again!!"
When all else failed, a simple illustra-
ton, drawn from everyday life, sufficed
to reach those brave and hardy frontiers
men.

During the late Spanish-American war
a certain old colonel, who had served all
through the Civil war, and who had lost
one OF his eyes at the battle of Gettys-

arrived, when suddenly beneath,
the skilltul touch of Miss Daisy

These with ap propriate evolutions
formed two lines in front of the

pie advanced and stood before the
man of God, who solemnly made
them man and wife. The cere-

beinrofered for the welfare of tins
young couple just entering the
threshold of life, the organ dis
coursed the sweet strains of Lohen

congregation then dispersed and
the still evening air sounded and ,
resounded with words OF congra
tulalion and good will for the
bride and groom. Altogether the
affair was very interesting and
was carried through with befi-

young bride was becomingIy at

looked hanisomer. The atten
