Sly Joking In the Pulpit.

Before l yer to college, said q.
minister Of this city, II did supply
work on a certain charge one summer.
In the Methodist church we had serv-
ice morning and evening. There was
a Presbyterian church in the village,
and the pastor from another village
supplied it, preaching there once q
Sunday in the afternoon. / went to
hear him one afternoon. He was a col
lege bred man and was supposed to be
away up. When he spied me in the
congregation, he came down and asked
me to assist in the opening exercises.
When we We're seated, he asked me to
read the first lesson and at the same
time announced that it was a certain
chapter in the book of Numbers. just
before l was to read l reached up to
the desk and took down the Bible and
opened at the place. l glanced down
over the chapter and saw that it vas
a mass of unpronounceable names. L
knew that he was working a joke on
me. He knew that l could not get
away with those said moth
ing, but when the time came l stood up
and announced the chapter following
and read it.
when l sat down, he gave me a
look, and he got one back. l whispered
hoarsely, 4 guess not Those were the
only words spoken on this subject

"Quick Lunches.o

1t is the habit Of the modern time
saving young man, says Eliot Gregory
in The Atlantic, upon entering a quick
lunch establishment to dash for the
bill Of fare and give an order (f he is
adroit enough to catch one Of the maids
on the ay) before removing either coat
or hat. At least Is seconds may be
economical in this way. Once seated,
the luncher falls to on anything at
hand - bread. cold slaw, crackers or
catchup. When the dish ordered ar
rives, he gets his fork into it as it ap-
pears over his shoulder and cleans the
plate before the sauce makes it's ap-
pearance, so that is eaten by itself or
with bread.
Cups of coffee or tea go down in two
swallows. Little piles of cake are cut
in quarters and disappear in four
m%outhfuls, much after the fashion Of
children down the ogre's throat in the
mechanical toy, mastication being Ell
Their a lost art or considered a foolish
waste of energy.
A really accomplished luncher can
assimilate his last quarter" Of cakes,
wiggle into his coat and pay his check
at the desk at the same moment. The
next he is down the block in pursuit Of
q receding trolley.

Negro Eloouence.

Negroes sometimes express them
selves as felicitously as do the Irish.
Here is a case copied from q Texas
paper. Some time ago one of Texas
widely known statesmen, who is now
dead, was passing along a street in
Dallas, when an old colored man, who
had once belonged to him, approached,
took off his hat and passed a hand
over his white wool as he asked:
"Marster, gin de old man 80 cents"
Dan, you are a robber."
"HowY' asked the astonished darky,
opening his eyes, around which rough
shod age had walked.
Didn't you see me put my hand in
my pocket|
Yes, sah."
well, you old rascal, you rob me of
the pleasure of giving you money with
out being asked"
The old man received a dollar. Bow
ing almost to the ground, while tears
came out and coursed through the aged
prints around his eyes, he replied:
"Marster, wild, wild such a heart as
you hab and wild Abraham and Isaac
and de Lord on your side, l don't see
what cal keep you out of heaven"

Trapped the ,

In Sketches Of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert s. Evans mar
rates tie rash exploit of an over
sanguine bear hunter:
A venturesome Yankee came to San
to Barbara some years ago and soon
became an adept at throwing the lasso.
Hearing the Mexican cowboys talk as
lassoing the grizzly bear, he decided
to show them what he could do in that
line if he ever got a chance.
One day he came upon n grizzly in
a favorable locality. He threw the
lasso with skillful aim and reined back
his trembling horse to give the bear
an astonisher, when the reata-which
is always attached to the pommel Of
the saddle-came up taut.
Judge of the mans a~stonishment
when that bear quietly assumed a sit
ting posture, took hold Of the lasso
and began to draw it in hand over
hand!
The hapless descendant of the pill
grim fathers stuck to the horse and
saddle until he saw the slack all drawn
in and the bear and the horse coming
rapidly together. Then, in a panic,
he descended and ran for a tree, aban-
doning the horse to it's fate.
Two skillful men, operating from op-
posite sides, can master a bear and
choke him between them, but with
only u man, one horse and one bear,
it is another story.
