The company cook receives the attention due
to his Importance; the mess is shown; cavalry
scenes are given; the hospital arrangements
are depicted; the heroines of the Red Cross
service are displayed; street scenes in Ha-
vana, Santiago and elsewhere are unrollcd,

None of his Business.

A story illustrating the reticence of
the Scotch regarding their private af-
fairs was told by Ian Maclaren when in
Boston.
A train was at railroad station,
when porter pushed his head into a
car and called out.
"Any one in this car for Doun?
Change for Doun? Any one for
Doun?'
No one moved, and in few minutes
the train was speeding along, not to
stop again for nearly an hour Then
an old Scotchwoman turned to lady
sitting near her, and said:
'1'm.for Doun, but I'd not tell that
man so.'

homes they would be for the merry
of which we have too few.

Almost any tree without leaves may
be safely moved, but if in foliage the

Many anecdotes were told of Bishop
Williams, of Connecticut, after his
death, for the good bishop was as well
known for his love of fun as for his
earnest piety.
At a meeting of the bishops meas
ure was proposed and explained by its
originator. but with such incoherence
that nobody understood it. A second
speaker essayed to make the matter
clear, but only darkened it. When he
had finished, Bishop Benjamin Smith,
of Kentucky, tried to explain the ques-
tion and also the explanations. Feeling
that he had failed, he said:
"Bishop Williams smiles. What has
he to say about it?''
"Only this" said the old bishop
that the mess of Benjamin was found
to be greater than the mess of any o1
