Trying to Find a Compliment.

Among other accomplishments Charles
Battell Loomis, the humorist, recites.
He initiates DR.. Talmage, says The
Saturday Evening Post. .'The only
time my imitation of DR.. Talmage real
ly goes for anything" said Mr.. Loomis,
lis when there are a lot of clergymen
In the audience. There were II on
shipboard during recent transatlantic
voyage, and they wanted me to recite
it three times a day"
One of the II clergymen on board
was silent man from New Hamp-
shire. He did not speak to any one.
He did not even speak to the humorist
who was turning the ship topsy turvy
with his droll verses, his limitations
and recitations. After they landed at
Amsterdam, however, the silent clergy
man came up to Mr.. Loomis ON the
dock and held out his hand.
"I've just learned that you are Mr..
Loomis, the humorist," he said gloom
lily. Some time hope to know you
better"
That was all he said. He went away
with his usual melancholy dignity, and
Mr.. Loomis is getting gray hairs try

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
The Prince Reproyed the Count.
Her Wish Gratified--A King
Oscar Story,

Italy's new king manifests the same
horror as his father for everything that
is in the least degree shady OF unques-
tionable and has driven out of the ar
my number of officers who had rem
dered themselves guilty of unsavory
transactions. A short time before
his fathers death he happened to be
obliged to receive in audience Roman
count who he knew had been sneer-
ing at the late kings democratic ways.
Just as the count was about to take his
leave the prince, with smile, exclaim-
ed, ''By the bye, I hear that you are the
president of the - company" Some
what embarrassed, the count replied,
Certainly; one must find some outlet
for ones activity"
'Is there no other outlet for your ac-
tivity than thatT inquired the prince.
"Surely for a man like yourself, the
head of family such as yours, there is
the army, a political career or philan-
thropy. One of your ancestors, | re-
member, fell by the side of my ances-
tor, Emmanuel Filiberto." And then
the prince went on to enumerate the
names Of number of the counts for
bears who had played a glorious role
in the military, political and admins
trative service of Italy. He added,
'When one bears such name as
yours, one has no right to serve any
thing save ones country and humans
ity."
"But am not serving anybody" re-
piled the sadly disconnected count.
"That's So" exclaimed Victor En-
manuel. "You are serving nothing but
your own interests" And with that he
turned his back to him.

Something Like a Hint.

A worthless old vagabond had annoyed
the good people Of western town for
several years. He had been arrested for
drunkenness and vagrancy times without
number, but to no purpose. Moral sua-
sion had been tried upon him without eff
feet. He steadily grew worse.
An impromptu vigilance committee was
formed one day by lot of citizens whose
patience had become exhausted and while
they deprecated mob violence they agreed
in the opinion that it was time to shift
the burden of this particular vagabond
upon some other place.
Accordingly they went to his lodgings
one night, lifted him up, put him on a
rail, rode him to the outskirts of the
town, dumped him into shallow creek
and left him there, with the injunction
that it would be safest for him to get out
on the farther side and keep moving
"By gum!' he mumbled, as he crawled
out on the bank, scraped the mud from
his clothes and looked back at the vanish
ing regulators" II don't b'lieve they
want me to live in this town any longer!''

Christ's Birthplace.

According to an article by Paul Carus
in The Open Court, Chicago, the apoc-
ryphal gospels tell a somewhat different
story of Christ's birth from the canon
ical books. According to the former,
to the canonical gospels, the Nativity
takes place in a stable. The apocryphal
legends proved so strong that, in spite of
the canonical version of the story, a cave
near Bethlehem came to be finally re-
garded as the place of the Nativity, and
a church was erected on the spot to
commemorate the event and still stands
as lasting monument of this belief.
