ORTHODOX HARD TO FIND.-A Scotch
elder, who did not believe that his own
minister held strictly orthodox views
wished to have his babe baptized, but
would not risk its spiritual welfare by
having him perform the rite In any
heterodox manner. So he walked to an
other town only to find the minister he
sought, away fishing. The next one he
was directed to had gone hunting. Fill
ed with Indignation he said to his COM
panion:
"Well gang to Master Erskine. That
godly man will be no fishing or hunt
ing"
So he found the house, but as he ap-
preached it he heard the sound Of mu-
sic. When the servant lassie opened
the door he remarked to her:
"Ye have company the night. I hear
the fiddle going"
ma, na," she answered, blushing'
robin could ma play like you, but the
minister aye fiddles bit afore he goes
to bed"
The good man went away without
making his errand known. No minis
ter who played the fiddle could baptize
his bairn, 80 he went back to his own.
who neither fished, hunted nor played
forbidden music, and let him name the
child.

SzT Not long ago. in Perthshire, Scot
land. a woman was driving her hus-
band down a narrow lane, when, on
turning a sharp corner, they encounter
ed a brewers cart. Neither had room
to pass, and in most disagreeable tones
the woman said:
He must go back. for I shall not.
He ought to have seen us before enter
ing the lane"
But, my DEAR" replied the husband,
"how could he with this sudden turn in
the road?"
II don't care" said the woman, very
haughtily; Il shall stay here all night
before give way to him."
The driver of the cart overheard all
the conversation and said, resignedly:
"A RIGHT, sir; I'll gang back"-add-
ing. sympathetically I've got just such
anither one at home"

Some Of the council are in favor Of

the we'll on it and putting the stand
pipe on the lot adjacent to the court
house.
