however, differs from Nice or Monte Car

WHEN FATHER FILES HIS SAW.


When father starts to file his saw,
As oft he has TO do,
There is a rush for other spheres
Until he gets all through.
My ma she goes across the street,
Altho' it's cold and raw;
And sister takes her sewing out
When father files his saw.
The cat jumps off the kitchen mat
And stFaightens neck and tail:
And TOwser. though he's somewhat deaf.
Sets up a dismal wall.
And soon he follows all the rest
With feetness in his paw;
For naught can stand that awful pitch
When father files his saw.
When father files his saw it seems
As though my time was near;
And when he says. Young man, sit still.
Life holds me nothing dear.
wish he were a minister,
Or counsellor at law
Or somethin else so he'd ne'er have
TO file another saw.

PRAYED FOR SOME BENEFIT.
Preachers Prelude to a Lecture by
Mark Twain.

WutHs
There are not many new stories about
Mark Twain. but here is one that he
enjoys hearing: Mark Twain once had
an engagement to lecture in a small
town in-say-the Western Reserve, and
was met at the railway station by the
minister. as the leader of intellectual So
ciety in the place. The minister wei
coined the distinguished visitor, and as
they walked up to the parsonage, where
Mark was to be housed and fed during
his stay. his host cOnveTSed on several
topics and finally said: Mr.. Clemens,
il has always been our custom in this
little town to open every entertainment
given here with prayer, and should
ike to do SO tonight. if agreeable to you.
Would Won have any objection to my do
ing sou Why, my dear sill" replied
Mark warmly, ION the contrary, it will
give me great pleasure should be very
glad to know that the lecture was GO
ing 10 he started right, anyhow" SO
with this understanding they went to the
lecture room that evening. and the min
lister left the lecturer sitting in the cor
ner of the platform. took the center of
the stage himself and proceeded TO offer
q prayer about half an hour long, in the
course Of which he gave his views on all
the current affairs Of interest, and con-
Guided by saying: And now, o Lord.
we have with us tonight Il man who is
known throughout all the world as the

about to say to us and TO be amused by

John Burns and Others Organizing
New British Federation.
London, March 17.-John Burns and
Thomas Burt, members of Parlia-
ment and other labor leaders are con
ferring in regard to the feasibility OF
the proposed federation of employees
and employers, the objects being to
educate the minds of employers and
employees concerning the grave re-
sponsibilities which rest with them
in respec to the expansion of British
trade and to devise means to meet
foreign competition, to send joint de-
putations of capital and labor abroad
to inquire Into conditions of other
countries and provide a federation
wherein employers and employees may
meet on the same plane"
The preliminary work is being
chiefly confined to the iron and steel
trades, which through fears of the
inroads of the American steel trust
seem particularly anxious for some
organization which will present a
united front.

The man whipped was John Pesontini,
charged with beating his wife and
threatening to kill her.
The squire was expressing his
opinion of such a man when Pesontini
called him a name. Already angered
by the wife's pitiful story, this was too
much for the squire, and with a for
chile exclamation, he jumped from his
bench, threw his coat in a corner and,
pushing aside his constables, went for
the prisoner in Terry McGovern's
best style. The prisoner was no easy
mark at that, and for a couple of min
utes the affair was exceedingly lively
The squire's rage gave him extra
strength. and couple of hard punches
on Pesontini's nose took some of the
fight out of him. From that moment
the game was in the squire's hands.
and he gave the fellow a trouncing
that he will remember.
Finally Pesontini dropped to the
floor and cried Enough" whereupon
the squire sent him to jail on the
charges of wife-beating, threats to
kill and contempt of court. The squire
was somewhat winded after his exer-
lions, but managed to pronounce SEN
tence in judicial manner
Before leaving for jail Pesontini
asked forgiveness and the squire
granted it. The mans wife declared
it did her heart good to see her hus-
band get dose of his own medicine.
