Sarah Bernhard while in London
dropped into a booksellers shop one
morning. II sold her quite a pile of
books, said the proprietor, ''and she

me something in French which I did

the counters, then, quick as flash, she
took up a volume of one of the very

No Deadheads There.

K I heard good story that comes from
a little town in the northern part of
the state: Among the members of the
Methodist church at that place is an
old railroad conductor who has been
retired from the business for ten years
or more During the morning service
at his church not many Sundays ago
the old railroader was called upon by
the minister to assist in taking up the
collection-one of the stewards who
usually helped in that work being alb
sent.
THE retired rairoader started down
the aisle with the contribution basket
and passed it around like an old hand
at the business. Every thing passed off
smoothly until he came to good old
brother who had nodded himself fast
asleep, and just as he was about to pass
by him he was suddenly overcome by
The force of habit acquired in his rail
read days Giving the sleeping brother
dig on the shoulder with the basket.

But 1t Was Worth What the Other
Man Paid For 1t.
A man who had not been to church
for very long time, says London ez-
change, finally hardened to the persua-
sions of his wife and decided to go. He
got the family all together, and they
started early. Arriving at the church,
there were very few people in it and
no pew openers at hand, so the man led
his family well up the aisle and took
possession of nice pew.
Just as the service was about to be-
gin pompous looking old man came
in, walked up to the door of the pew
and stood there, exhibiting evident sur
prise that it was occupied. The occu-
pants moved over and offered him room
to sit down, but he declined to be seat
ed. Finally the old man produced q
card and wrote upon it with q pencil:
81 pay fer this pew.
''Ee gave the card to the strange oc-
cupant. who, had he been like most
people, would have at once got up and
left. But the intruder adjusted his
glasses and with a smile read the card.
Then he calmly wrote beneath it:
CHOW much do you pay a years.
To this inquiry the pompous old gen
tleman, still standing, wrote abruptly:
>''Ten pounds. .
The stranger smiled as though he
were pleased, looked around to compare
the pew with others, admired its nice
cushions and furnishings and wrote
back:
- don't blame you. It is well worth
it,
The pompous old gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat.
