the Best of Things.

Glasgow paper reports. according 20
the Westminster Budget, that ''in a coun-
try church on Sunday forenoon the SER
vice was practically stopped for a short
time. owing to the noise caused by a
couple of dogs outside which started wor-
rylng each other" A correspondents who
sends US the cutting tells another Scotch
story. 1t was once usual for Highland
shepherds to take their dogs to church
and leave them outside the pews. Two
shepherds al epmity sat on opposite sides
of the aisle one Sunday. Soon after the
sermon began the doss-one a collie and
the other not-seemed to enter into their
masters quarrel. One tender of the flock
and then the other esged on his animal.
and each faithful dog obeyed mis- master.
The people at lass craned their necks over
the pews, and when the dogs actually
fought not few of the congregation were
outstanding. The minister's patience was
ultimately exhausted and so he called 10
his hearers" and said, All weel my
britheren, l see We are most interested
in the dog fight than in my sermon. and
so I'll close the buike-and I'll bet half a
crown on the collier

Hanlan's Great Speech.

1t is related of Edward Hanlan, the
great Canadian oarsman, that as a speech
maker. he is without a peer, says the
Cleveland Plain-Dealer The only claim
upon which this can be based. however,
is the story of how he delivered a speech
after winning his second race in England
His first victory had found him unpre-
pared. He was ready for his second with
good speech, composed for him by a
newspaper friend. neatly copied out on
paper, and stored away for use in his
coat pocket. When the crowd outside the
clubhouse insisted upon seeing and hear
ing the winner, he was helped out upon
a window ledge by his friends and held
there by the coat tails and the legs. The
crowd cheered him wildly. He was too
confused to speak. They cheered him
again. He threw out his hand in az ges-
ture of helplessness and moved his lips
in some inaudible humble of apology for
his inability to deliver speech. They
could not hear on account of the noise.
that they were themselves making, but
they encouraged him with a generous
applause. He saw his escape, and pro-
ceeded to shake his head and work his
lips in fine frenzy of oratory, gesticu-
lating eloquently and smiling his thanks
The noisy and good-natured crowd cheer
ed him to the echo, and his friends drew
him In from his precarious position on
the window ledge. You carried that
crowd along in style" they congratulated
him. What did you say? We couldnt
hear YOU" Yes, give US an idea of
your speech" the reporters put in, draw
ing their noteoooks. Hanian took the
manuscript from his pocket. Here's the
whole thing" he said; do you want il
ali?" Well, rather they answered;
that speech made a hit

rain Language From Truthful
James.
Crable Mountain, 1900
Which 1 wish to remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain.
The heather Chinee Is peculiar.
Which the same l would rise to explain.
All Sin was his name;
And I shall not deny
In regard TO the same
What that name might imply.
But his smile it was pensive and child
like
As 1 frequent remarked to Bill Nye.
1t was August the third:
And quite soft was the skies:
Which il might be inferred
That All Sin was likewise:
Yet he played it that day upon William
And me in a way l despise.
Which we had small game.
And All Sin took a hand;
1t was euchre. The same
He did not understand;
But he smiled as he SAT by the table.
With smile that was childlike and
bland
Yet the cards they were stocked
In a way that 1 grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
At the state of Nye's sleeve:
Which was stuffel full of aces and bow
ers
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
By that heather Chinee,
And the points that he made
Were quite frightful to see
Till az last he put down a right bower
Then / looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me;
And he rose with a sigh.
And said. Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And he went for that heather Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
/ did not take a hand
But the floor 1t was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards All Sin had been hiding
In the game ''he dad not understand"
In his sleeves. which were long,
He had twenty-four jacks
Which was coming 1t strong,
Yet I state but the facts:
And we found on his nails, which were
taper.
what is frequent in tapers, that's wax
Which IL why I remark.
And my language Is plain.
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar"
Which the same am free to maintain.
