which are leaving Island Pond are
double headed.

The storm has been also very severe on
the mountain division OF the Maine Cen

The Child and His Father.

There is a clear lesson in a story told
by the captain of police precinct IN
New York One evening a man came to
the station house asking if any lost chill
drcn were there. Three were asleep in
a back room. and the man went in to see
if his own was among the number. lie
Weakened Il boy between and ) years
old and asked of him if he were Johnny
So-and-so. The little fellow being very
sleepy and frightened could not be made
to answer, and the man turned away
saying he would have to send his wife
over.
"What, Do you not know your own
chid?" the police official asked.
ITO tell the truth, don't" the man re-
piled. Il work on the - line of street
cars: the children amt mp when | 20

Later his wife appeared and identified

the father had picked out.-Harper

The Medieval Archdeacon.

Episcopal jokes, says London paper,
are usually as cryptic as the jests of
Aristophanes over which Mr.. Nerdant
Green's studious neghbor used to chuckle
when made painfully apparent by the
help Of I.iddell and Scott. At Bristol DIR.
Browne has sadly bewidcred his assem-
bled clergy and faithful laity" by com
planning that he is only "a monocrlar
bishop"
His lordship was. of course. making sly
reference to the fact that an archdencon
was formerly termed ''oculus episcopi,"
and the diocese of Bristol contains only
one archdeaconry
But in the middle ages the archdcacon
was not only the bishops eye" but a
spy. who used to blackmail the clergy and
pcrpetrate such terrible cnormitics that a
medieval schoolman seriously propuund-
ed the question, Can an archdeacon be
sayed?"
