with their breezy sense Of self-suffi-

right and wrong, their freedom from

are shock-headed your time has come
and there are places waiting for you

men are with you because they are
proud Of you. The young women are
with you because they love you. The

while driving from the station to the
park on his estate to inspect compa-
ny of artillery, observed a ragged
urchin keeping pace with the carriage
at his side. His grace, being struck
with the cleanliness of the lad, asked
him where he was going. The lac
replied:
ITO the park to see the dook and sog-
ers."
The Duke, feeling interested, stopped
his carriage and opened the door to the
lad, saying he could ride to the park
with him.
The delighted lad, being in ignor-
ance of whom he was, kept his grace
interested with the quaint remarks till
the park gates were reached.
AS the carriage entered it was salut-
ed by the company and guns, where
upon his grace said to the lad:
Now, can you show me where the
Duke is?"
The lad eyed his person all over
then, looking at the Duke, replied
quite seriously:
well, I dunno, mister; but it's eth
er you or me!"-London Spare Mo-
