ArchbIshop IreIand's Ready wiz.


Speaking Of Archbishop Ireland re-
minds me Of a good anecdote l heard
the other day" put In the drummer.
"a Protestant friend OF the archbish-
Cd and an admlrer Of his many fasci-
mating qualities was struck one day at
finding a gray haired priest whom he
well knew to be an exceedingly learn
ed and able man officiating in a very
small parish in one Of the country dis
tricts.
"'How is It, your reverence he ask
ed, that so wonderfully capable a man
as - is kept laboring in so unpro-
ductlve a field as that in which find
himY
"Ah,' retorted the archbishop, rub
bling his hands and smiling I'm the unc-
tuous manner peculiar to him-'ah, my
dear friend, the very man for the
place, the very man for the place.
"There was a moments pause, and
then the archbishop added as though
from an afterthought, And the very
place for the man. my dear sir; the
very best place for the man.
"The right reverend gentleman's non
Catholic friend afterward discovered
that he had unwittingly discovered an
example Of church discipline. The
learned priest IN the country parish
was undergoing what is known In &C.
clesiastical circles as a vacation In the
woods"

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

"Nlost Englishmen are considered
pretty fair horsemen, but when 1t
comes to riding a bucking broncho
some Of them are not In or on 1t for
long" said the owner of a large cattle
ranch In Wyoming TO the writer the
other day. For instance, rich young
Englishman recently came out TO my
part of the country In quest of some
good investment. He was at my ranch
as a guest for a few days. and one aft
ernoon as the cowboys were about TO
round up a bunch Of COW ponies the
young man said that he would enjoy
good ride In the saddle. lie said he
was used to riding only thoroughbreds,
and he didn't think we had horse
good enough for him. The boys con-
WINGED him that they had one of the
finest horses on the plains. and II he
knew how to ride he was welcome to
the animal He was apparently Insult
ed when questioned about his ability
TO ride and answered that he could
ride any kind OF a horse. A sleepy
looking broncho was accordingly
brought out from the corral and sad
died. Though the beast appeared half
dead. he was the worst bucker in the
herd
"'E's nfeless,' said the foreigner
when the pony was brought to him.
The boys said the nag would wake up
after the first mile, and MILFORD got into
the saddle The first buck jump placed
him on the horses neck, and after the
second he was in the atmosphere. He
turned somersault and landed on the
sharp end of a cactus plant. When he
picked himself up. one Of the boys ask
ed what he thought Of the thorough
bred now. The question made the
Englishman turn pale.
"'E's a good 'oss.' he answered, but
