Jerry'S Version Of 1t.

A prominent Detroit woman with q
great interest in juvenile mission work
has this excellent anecdote to tell:
One Of her classes in a certain mis-
sion is composed of little street children
to the number of 20 OF more whose
ages range from 8 to 6. Most of the
scholars are boys, though now and then
n notices the pinched face Of a little
daughter of poverty in the ranks.
The other day the lesson was on the
peculiarities of English. Words that
are pronounced alike and spelled differ
emily and words that are pronounced
differently but spelled alike were dis
cussed at length. She explained the diff
ference between lead the metal and
lead the verb. and the children grasped
the point instantly. Then she took the
two words "week' and ''weak.' She
explained the difference in the meaning
and use to the tots, and then called up
a little fellow, aged 5. to use the word
"weak'' in a phrase. The little fellow
thought a moment, then answered, "a
weak old woman" The teacher nodded
her approval, and smiled into the eyes
upturned to hers.
"Now, Jerry Ryan," she said, turn
ing to another little boy. "'you take the
word week and use it in a phrase

pugilistic amateur, went from London

The latter was working in an Enclosure
at a little distance from his house when
the noble lord arrived. His lordship tied
his horse to a tree and addressed the
farmer. Friend. I have heard marvel.
Gus reports of your skill and have come
a long way to see which Of us two is
the better wrestler.
The Scotchman, without answering,
seized the nobleman, pitched him over
the hedge and then set about working
again. When Lord D. got up, SWELL"

The butcher stared at him, but said
he would. Three weeks passed, when

"Why, yes" said the butcher. ~

The Mystery Of Warts.

When q ycungster of 10 years, I was
visited by a plngue Of warts. From my
earliest recollection I had had on my
middle finger an old daddy wart, but at
the age stated this had multiplied to 40
or more, being on my lip and one
on my chin. Twas considerably worried
over my growing family Of excrescences.
and n day a woohchopper in my ia
theirs employ, who acted queerly, never
wearing a hat. for instance, said that
he could take the warts away with him.
l was quite willing to have him try.
and he took me off to a quiet spot under
a willow tree, from which he cut a
number Of small branches. and these he
cut again into little bits of an inch in
length, making a notch in each one
and this notch he set down over each
wart, having at last a collection of 40
Or more Of these little notched sticks.
These he put into his pocket. saying
that the warts would go away.
! could never say just when the
prophecy was fulfilled, but within six
weeks there wasn't a wart on my face
or hands. and there has not been one
since that time. What | want to know
now. as | did then-and the conjnrer
would not tell me--is what did it. |
have spoken to many doctors about it..
but they merely laugh. as though | was
giving them II pipe talk" and yet the
warts went away, and all the medicine
l had eve tried on them had no effect
whatever. New York Sun.
