An Outrage.

An old gentleman was present at the
reading of tho will of distant rela-
tive. lie had hardly expected to find
himself remembered in it, but pretty
soon,a clause was read in which a GER
tain ffeld was bequeathed to him.
That was good. but the document went
on to bequeth the old gray mare In the
with whom the old gentleman was not
on friendly terms. That was too much
for his equanimity, and he interrupted
the solemn proceedings and brought a
smile to the faces of the company by
eXclaiming:

B-osAerline.. In Brockton,

HH0&Aeel1ness In BrOcktOn.
Here u story told by Professor Bar
rett Wendell about DR.. William Ever
EFT: The latter was going out to
Brockton one night to deliver an ad-
dress and ran across Mr.. Wendell in
the Old Park square station. "Come
along, Wendell" he said. II am going
out to Brockton to speak, and I want
some one respectable to sit on the plat
form with me-" So the professor went
along.
When Everett arose to speak, the
hall, which was large one, was only
passably we'll filled, and even the com.
paratively small sumber present began
to grow smaller as one by one people
slipped away. Mr.. Wendell began to
think that Brockton must be singu-
larly cold hearted place when sudden
ly he noticed people coming in by twos
and threes and silently taking seats
wherever they could find them. Soon
the hall was full, with standing room
only, but still they came till the aisles
and walls were lined with interested
listeners.
The supposed deserters had simply
gone out and told the people of Brock
ton that here was the greatest man
they'd ever heard and gathered them

Won by His wit.

A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to lucky pun. He was
tutor to the son Of a nobleman and
had not long taken orders when. he
attended the funeral of the rector Of
the parish in which the nobleman's
seat was situated.
The father Of his pupil was patron of
the living and was also present at the
funeral of the deceased rector. There
was a young clergyman present also
whose grief was so demonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the sight and asked If the young man
was son Of the deceased gentleman.
"Oh, dear, no, my lord-no relation at
ALL" said the tutor.
mo relationv' exclaimed the noble.
man In a surprised tone. VI, .v
"None, my lord; he is the curate, and
I think he is not weeping for the dead,
but for the living"
His lordship, who was something CT
wit and cynic himself, was SO de-
lighted with the bonmot that he COL
ferred the living upon the ready pun.

were wrecked or badly damaged,
wharves and piers at every exposed

run slightly below and considerably
above 100000. Down at Monmouth

was thrilling rescue Of her crew by

year. Lane and his wife are prominent
In society and church work. They

According to the police the method
IN which they have burglarized nearly
every store in Pittsburg in the past
year and successfully baffied the po-
lice. was carefully planned. The son,
a quick and intelligent little fellow,
would conceal himself In the store
and be locked in when the store was
closed and then in the night he would
open the rear door after which the
robbery was easy. The arrest was
caused by the boy being captured in q

Inform Buyers That American Shoes
- Arc Unhealthy.
London, Nov. 24.-The sale Of Amer
lean shoes here continues to increase
merrily, the English manufacturers ap-
parently conflning their attempts to
stem this commercial invasion by
writing pathetic letters to the papers,
In which they declare there will be
empty chairs by the firesdde II the
English persist in buying American
shoes.
According to some OF these letters
the article imported from the United
States constitutes danger to life and
health, being said to be made Of the
cheapest possible leather, which Is
quite inadequate to keep dry the feet
OF the nation which does not wear rub
bers. This sort Of thing appearing
frequently in the London dadlies has
elected an answer In The Daily Chron-
icle from an American manufacturer
categorically denying the use of poor
leather and pointing out that the I'm
portation Of American rubbers far ex.
ceeds the importation Of shoes, oh.

shoes require overshoes to help them
