Racial Repartee.

A Swede and an Irishman, both of
them tolerably well known about town,
got into an argument in front of the
courthouse, and they began telling each
other how it was too bad that their an
cestOrs had ever happened to shed the
wolf robes and take to living under COW
er. When things got bit warm, the
Swede remarked that there was no
doubt in his mind that the Irishman
would be entitled, by reason Of his an
cestry, to join some of the pedigree as
sociations but for the unfortunate fact
that most of those ancestors were hang
ed for stealing sheep.

themselves that they were all kings,
and that it was all right TO go over into

could lay their hands on, said the

Grotesauc spanish Honor.

The Washington Times recalls a story
about the Duke of Wellington that IL
Illustrates the fantastic idea of honor
held by many Spaniards, contrasted with
the practical common sense of English
men. When the duke was cooperating
with the Spanish army in the peninsula
against Napoleon, he was DESTROYS on
one occasion during a general engage
ment that the general commanding the
Spanish contingent should execute a GER
tain movement on the field. He COM
municated the wish TO the Spaniard
personally and was somewhat taken
aback to be told that the honor of the
king of Spain and his army would COM
pei him to refuse the request unless
Wellington. as foreign officer gracious
ly permitted to exist and fight on Span
ish soil, should present the petition on
his knees.
The old duke often used to tell the
story afterward, and he would say,
''Now, L was extremely anxious to have
the movement executed, and 7 didn' t
care Il 'twopenny damn about getting
on my knees, 50 down 1 pumpedr'
