A genealogical joke is recorded by
"Sylvanus Urban in his August Con
ferences on Books and Mem in the
"Cornhill':
A man applied to the college for a
coat-of arms, and was asked if any of
his ancestors had been renowned for
any singular achievement The man
paused and considered, but could rec
ollect nothing. "Your father?" said the
herald, aiding his memory. your
grandfather? = Your great grand
father?" NO" returns the applicant,
II never knew that I had a great
grandfather or grandfather cor
yourself?" asks this creator of dignity.
Il know nothing remarkable of my
self" returned the man, "only that be-
ing once locked up in the Ludgats
Prison for debt I found means to es-
cape from an upper window and that.
you know, is no honor in a mans
'scutcheon.'' "And how did you get
DOWN." said the herald. "Odd enough. .
retorts the man. Il procured a cord.
fixed it round the neck of the statue
of King Lud, ON the outside OF the
building, and thus let myself down. !,
81 have it, said the herald-'no honor!
Lineally descended from King Ludt
and his coat-of-arms will do for you.'

The most amusing sights grow out
of the attempts of the numerous Amer

gate among the native Porto Ricans
AS went into the breakfast-room of
the hotel a loud-voiced American was
vociferating wildly, while Va crowd
gathered around him. AS approached
he shook both fists at the crowd and
yelled Boiled eggs!" If he had said
eggs" merely somebody might have
understood. The boiled eggs" Spoken,
as one word, f1oored everybody, and /
sat down at a. distance to take in the
scene. He cursed them UP hill and
down as a pack of jackasses, and be-
sought them to tell him where they
had gone to school. "Kool, kool, yes!"
cried the head waiter Il know kool,'
and Immediately brought a. plate of
cracked ice. The American exploded,
but I stepped in and Strengthened him

story of the stupidity of the heathenish
people and his utter failure to drive
any sense into their heads.-John Ste

Episcopal Church, asked for permission
to worship with the white folks and
to put her letter of good standing in
with them. She was told to come
around on the following evening to the
business meeting of the official board
Arrived, she was given a seat while
her case was discussed, with the result
that the whole board, except the pas
tor, was in favor of receiving her into
fellowship, hers being an exceptional
case and she herself so evidently re-
spectacle that there was no reason at
all for saying otherwise.
The pastor, however, as President,
vetoed it, saying: mo, brethren, l do
not believe these people are human, or
will ever go to heaven. More than
that, l should be unwilling to go there
myself if they also will be admitted"
Here the woman interposed: well,
honey, If you doan't want to go to
hebben wild niggers and you go to hell,
you'll find plenty of niggers dar. too.''

SEATTLE, Nov. 30.-The transport
Victoria will sail tomorrow for San
Francisco under orders to load live
stock there for Manila. The loss of
animals to date is ninety-four. the val
ue of which is estimated to be little
short of 1000. The total loss to the
Government, considering the charter

cost of caring for the sick and injured
animals here, will not be far short of
$4,000.
