RuSkin'S Collars

a prophet indeed has no honor in his
own country. An English gentleman
who had gone TO Brentwood on an out
ing tour, finding himself in need OF
books in order TO beguile a heavy hour
or two, stepped into Il bookstore of
Ruskin's village and asked the lady at
tendant if she had any of the thinkers
books. Yes" she replied. There
were some, but they were not often
asked for"
Having obtained the book he desired,
he asked her what she thought of the
great critic and teacher. Her ideas of
Ruskin's personality were very vague,
however, and she excused her igno-
rance on the ground that the people
about there did not seem TO trouble
much about him. As for herself, she
only knew him as ''the old gentleman
who only had clean collar once 4
week"

Avenged the Slight.

A rich PruSsian banker who had
bought his title of won" by some
means or other managed to squeeze
his son into a regiment of the guards.
Once admitted, he was of course treat
ed by the other officers as one of them
selves. One day the banker gave Il
splendid dinner, to which he invited
through his son all the officers of the
regiment save one. n very nice fellow,
who, however, was not noble, having
no aristocratic won" prefiXed to his
name.
All accepted the invitation, perfectly
unconscious that one of their number
had been so badly treated. When, how
ever, they took their seats at the table,
the absence of their comrade was i'm
mediately noticed. Some one remark
ed the fact to the host, who said in a
loud voice, "Ah, you see, we are going
to be entire nous tonight, a really Sc
lect party, you know
"Then we must not disturb you"
said the senior officer present, rising
from his chair, and one after another
the guardsmen sOlemnly filed out of
the room. thus amply avenging the
slight to which an officer of their regi-
ment had been subjected.

OF 4 friend in Mayfair The police
officer charged him in the police sta
ton with lettering with felonious intent,
and the prisoners description of him
self as one of her majesty's judges was
received with grin of sarcastic deri-
sion.
At that moment an old offender was
brought in who happened to catch
sight of his lordship's face, which he
had good reason TO remember.
You here, my lord-' he exclaimed,
with Unfeigned establishment. "WelI,
this beats cockfghting."
The rogue's unsolicited confederation
Of the judges declaration saved the
situation, and his lordship was allowed
to depart in peace
