this was mild compared to his hatred
of Sir Hudson Howe, who in Apr.

| tie story about the last incident of his
| career. He had been assigned by a
certain Chicago daily to interview an
eminent bishop about schism in the
church. tt bishop didn't want to
talk and wouldn't see him, but Gaylor
bribed a servant to let him into the
hall, and he waylaid the dignitary as
he was coming through. He was or
dered out for his pains, but next day
he penetrated the house again on
some pretext or other, and was again
fired.
He repeated the exploit three or
four times, with similar results, and
at last the bishop, coming home late
at night, found Billy in his study read
ing the Bible. Nobody could explain
how he got in, but the prelate wilted
and told him all he wanted to know:
on condition that he would go away
and stay away.
Shortly afterward poor Gaylor got
galloping consumrt ton and died; and,
happening to meet the bishop at a
church conference, [ told him that the
young man who had once so molested
him would never do it again.
"Let us hope that he is in heaven"
said a clergyman standing by.

loved joke.

preacher, who was stranger, follow
ed up his sermon by an earnest appeal
for the balance of the money needed
to pay for the building.
The collectors went around, and
promises came in. As the subscrip-
tons were one after another read, a
collector announced, ''The five Black
children, one dollar" The courteous
preacher quickly amended the state
ment by announcing, Give little col
Ored children, one dollar"
Amidst an outburst of merriment,
the pastor explained that the donors
were white children of the name of
Black.

TWO BLUFFS THAT WON.

Jack Rogers was newspaper re-
porter and broke. He had hung
around the Dubuque newspaper Of
fees for a job until he had been re-
! quested to move on. So he decided
! to move on to Des Moines. But how
to get there was the question. Jack
put on his thinking cap, and the re-
himself on train and the cond lctor
standing by his seat.
''Ticket!" said the conductor
s.See here, CONDUCTOR" said Jack,
easily, "my names Rogers, and Pm
reporter on the Des Moines Air Blast.
I'm broke, and Pm in a hurry to get
! home with big scoop. Let me ride
and the office'll fix it up with you.
See?''
"Wen." said the conductor, Il
guess that'll do all right. The road
feels friendly toward the Air Blast
in fact the editor is in the back coach.
Come along and I'll introduce you. If
he says you're all right, it goes"
Jack was knocked all in a heap at
the turn things had taken, but he had
nothing to do but follow the con-
ductor. They halted in front of man
i'll the coach, and the conductor said:
'Mr. Smitem, this is Mr.. Rogers.
He says he's reporter on your pa
per, and wants the Office 20 pay for
his transportation when he gets to
Des Moines."
GLOW do you do, Mr.. Rogers?" said
the editor pleasantly, extending his
hand. "Glad to see you. Sit down
here with me-" The conductor didn't
wait any more, but went off,
"Well, this is nice of you," said
Jack, too astonished and embarrassed
to talk straight. "Of course Pm not
on your paper, but Pm broke, and
yarned to the conductor, hoping to
get job and square it up later"
ooh, that's all right, my boy" said
the other. "Neither am I on the
paper. Pm only riding on the EDITORS
