A pun so good that 1t was not only par
doned, but enjoyed, was once made in a
reply to Lord North. 1t could not have
been made outside Of England, where a
clerk is invariably "clark."
Lord North had just begun to make his
annual budget speech in the house Of
commons when dog, which had wan.
dercd in, lifted up his voice in a series of
lively yelps.
"By what new opposition am I attack
cd now?" inquired Lord North facetious-
ly.
81 think, my lord" replied n voice well
known to most of the hearers, lit was

Roll Your Grass Well,

The effect of rolling is to crush down
the bigger plants that flourish among
the grass and to injure the grnss itself
but little. The bigger plants are mostly
weeds, which, If allowed to grow un-
checked, would soon choke the more
slender grass.
If footpath across field becomes
disused, it will be found that the grass
which grows up In its place is of far SUI
pcrior purity to that in the rest of the
field. Constant pressure has stamped out
the roots of the weeds and left only the
pure grass.
Another advantage of rolling Is that 1t
makes the grass grow more thickly. The
ground becomes intcrtwined with net
work Of plants, and when this has been
going on for so years or more that rich,
velyety turf Is produced which can be
found alone in old park lands that have
lain undisturbed by the plow for many
years in succession.

Z n government Official tells this story of
Sam iAllerton's experience with, his
yacht: 5s'
Mr.. Allerton built himself fine coun.
try house on the shores Of Lake Geneva,
Wisconsin. 1t was as fine as anybody's
home in that locality. When he had the
house about finished. some one told him
that he would have to have yacht, not
one of the modern steam yachts such as
you see down east, but a sailing boat.
He ordered one nude and was up at the
lake when 1t reached there. He was
very proud of his yacht, and although he
had never been on one before concluded
that he would like to take q sail right
away. In his younger days he had gone
fishing time or two in a canoe and In
that way had learned the rudiments Of
steering boat, SO he concluded to take
the helm. Looking over the group of
loungers that had gathered about, he
shouted out the inquiry:
"Who among us has been to sea?"
Il has. sah," said tall, rawboned COL

snow, who else has been to sea?"
Nobody answering he turned to the
colored man and ordered him to jump
aboard, saying: 1--WE two will be enough.
We can handle her."
The sails were set. the boat released
from its moorings, and start was made.
The wind was directly offshore and
blowing brisk. Mr.. Allerton enjoyed the
sensation hugely and congratulated him
self on the investment he had made. He
was sailing directly before the wind, and
he doomed ahead in splendid style. BY
and by they approached the opposite
shore, and after making several frantic
efforts to change the course of the boat,
Mr.. Allerton called out to the colored
man "who had been to sea-"
"uere, you! How are we going to
turn this blamed thing around? l can't
do anything with her."
"'Deed, mister, don't know what to
do. / don't know nothing bout them
there sails"
The two men pulled and hauled and
perspired, but to no effect, and the yacht
went on the rocks with smash As
Mr.. Allerton waded ashore he turned
angrily to the colorcd man, who dragged |
himself drippingly after him, and said:
II thought you told me you had been
to sea?"
II was, sab; eight years"
"What the deuce did you do at sea ?"

of the day whether or not they didn't

had a man tell ME he hadn't time to get
his hair cut and then climb out of my
chair after had finished shaving him and
stand around and talk for half an hour

cause n barber asks customer if he
doesn't want something more than

reason why the customer should feel
obliged to spend more than he at first in

customer should prcvaricate about being

The large stone barn of the late
Samuel Corlcss of Chester county,
Pa, was burned Sunday morning.
The farm is worked by William
Cullen. One of his sons rose early
Sunday morning to get the milking
done before the sun got too hot, but
upon going to the field to get the
cows, there was none in sight. He
returned to the barn to find the
cows had all been turned into the
stables and the doors securely tast-
ened from the outside. The boys
had scarcely begun milking, when
fire began falling around their
heads. No stock was burned, but
they had considerable trouble in
saving them as they were wild with
fright. Mr.. Cullen has lost all of a
score or more years of hard earn
ings. A few weeks ago his house
was robbed Of several articles of
value. Mr.. Cullen seems to be very
unfortunate. The barn was fully
insured.
