An Englishman at dinner once told
tale of a tiger he had shot which
measured twenty-four feet from snout
to tail-tip. Everyone was astonished.

doubt of the truth of the story. Pres
emily a Scotsman told his tale. He had
once caught fish which he said he
was unable to pull in alone, managing
only to land it at last with the aid: of
six friends. cit was skate, and it
covered two acres.' Silence followed
this recital, during which the offended
Englishman left the table. The host
followed. After returning he said to
the Scotsman: "Sir, you have insulted
my friend. You must apologize X

salisbury rs 4 Saint.

It is not generally known that a
statue of Lord Salisbury as Christian
warrior appears in one of the inches
of the interesting and beautiful reredos
in the chapel of All Souls College, OK
ford. About forty years ago the pre-
mier was elected fellow Of this col
lege, and about the same time an elab-
crate stone screen was erected in the
chapel attached to the Fellows house.
The sculptor evidently preferred to
make his own saints instead of accept
ing those canonized by the church, and
Lord Salisbury was chosen to fill up
tho vacant gap, and is therefore i'm
mortalized as a Christian wal rior.>-
