BEARD at Last.

Father O'Halloran had a telephone put into the
parsonage in connection with the church and theparo-
chial school, says the Boston Transcript. Patrick
his reverence's handy man, was instructed in
the use of the instrument, and it was only the next
day when Pat, busting out the church, heard the
ringing of the telephone bell
Taking down the receiver, Patrick was pleased to
hear Father O'Halloran's familiar voice asking him
something or other about his work. In essaying to
answer, he remembered that his reverence was a long
way off, and therefore he shouted into the transmit
ter at the top of his voice.
II don't understand you, Patrick" said the tele-
phone.

Pat tried again, with no better success. On the
third trial, he came near splitting the telephone; but
again came Father O'Halloran's voice: II can'thear
what you're saying, Patrick"
Pat had by this time lost something OF his pa
thence, and as he stood gathering breath for a fourth
blast, he couldn't refrain from soliloquizing in a low
tone: "An, may the divilfy away wild the ould fool"
But Pat dropped the telephone like ahot potato and
fell to his knees in dismay when he heard Father o.
Halloran's voice once. again: \

lat was a lovely winter evening IN Posen. The
elite of the Jewish society were assembled in the
clubhouse But the rabbi, Akiba Eyer, of
blessed memory, whose learning was on a par with
his piety, and whose charity was ever cheerfully
bestowed, was in his study, bordering over his thick
folio. His thoughts may have been with the sages
of the Talmnd, but he was not so engrossed as to
fail to heed d timid knock at the door.
"Herein!" A timid young maiden with eyes full
of tea entered the room and gave the rabbi a
letter.
The rabbi felt his pockets. Did | give away
Yesterday" he said to himself, /" all my money save

a moment. Suddenly an idea struck him.

OUTPUT OF THE KLoNDTKE.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klondike
fields the past season. The estimate
ranges from $10,000,000 to So, 900 900
Since the English government imposed a
royalty of 10 per cent. the miners have
adopted all sorts of ruses to evadc the
law. 1t is rather a difficult operation
to dodge taxes, but it is more difficult
still to dodge a bad cold and the grip at
this time of year. When the system is
weakened by such attacks. and the
blood becomes thin and impoverished, the
best medicine to take is Hostetter' S
Stomach Bittters. This remedy builds up
the system. Besides regulating digestion,
it overcomes constipation in a perfectly
natural way. 1t is good for the kidneys
and liver, too, stimulating each of these
organs into the proper performance of
their functions. Nothing is so good for
malaria.

DAMAGE TO WIRES.
The Sleet Storm of the Past Two Days
the Worst for Years.

the Worst for Years.
The sleet storm for the past two days
has been the worst that has visited this
city for years. The sidewalks and streets
We're so slippery that pedestrians had a
hard time getting along. There were
many who lost their equilibrium, and
performed some wonderful giratious in
the air before unceremoniously finding q
seat on the icy-coated pavement or
ground OF all who fell during these
slippery times, Col +. A. Odds, was
the only preson who did these feats with
perfect grace and easy nonchalance.
He said he felt no jar whatever, but
only the most delightful of sensations
Yesterday morning the trees and
shrubbery, the house-tops and the net
work of telegraph, telephone and cleo
trio wires We're heavily coated with ice,
giving the appearance of a chrystal
city. The temperature early. however,
warmed up and by noon the icy-coating
disappeared and nature had resumed her
wonted appearance.
The telegraph, telephone electric light
and electric railway people were busy
yesterday morning repairing the damage
done to their respective weres by the
sleet storm the night previous. Large
numbers of wires were down yesterday
in all parts of the city and between
this and neighboring towns. Early yester-
day morning all the wires of the Western
Union Telegraph Company were broken
or disabled except one, and the other
concerns were in pretty much the same
fix In several parts of the-,town the
wires were down from which blue blazes
were issuing and others We're made live
by coming in contact with these.
Early yesterday, Mayor Powell ISSUED
an order and had the high current cleo
trio plants shut down until the damage
to wires could be repaired and had off
GERS stationed at the live wires which
Were down.
