Why, papa he answered. you said

sermons more powerful tnan those de-

Two Englishmsn were discussing
with Mark Twain the old topic Of Am
erican humor as not appreciated by
foreigners.
But re the English really so OBJ
tuse?" asked one of them.
"Obtuse! You cant get an idea into
an Englishman's head with surgical
operation" declared Mark Twain.
The ueustioner remained in solemn
thought for a moment. Then he broke
into hearty laugh.

ed, Though, Of course, II you were to
open the Englishman's skull you would
kill him, would you mote"
Mark Twain turned to the second
Engllshman, What did tell you? He
wants to know whether it wouldn't kill
him"
The countenance OF the second En-
glishman was like a blank wall.

WAS HE SoBER2

In England an officer is courtmar.
tailed for being drunk and everybody
will recollect the story of the young
officer who was accused OF this
"crlme" and was very nearly got OFF
by his servant. The servant, who
was an Irishman, was asked by the
court whether his master was sober on
the night when he was stated to have
been drunk.
Yes, sir" the servant replied. he
was quite sober"
l. How do you know he was sober?
Because he asked me to call him
early"
This was a convincing answer. But
one of the officers OF the courtmartial,
remembering that there was an early
parade on the following morning, ask.
ed the servant what reason his mas.
ter gave for wishing to be called early.
Without a moments hesitation the
servant replied:
He said he was the Queen OF the
Nav. sir"
That, of course, concluded the case.

MccLuRB'S FOR AUGUST.

The August McCmrc's might almost
be advertised as the book OF the
month" Though 1t Is typical mid
summer fiction numbcr-and a tip-tOp
one, toO-it manages to find place for
number of striking articles that will
perhaps be even more eagerly read than
the stories. Professor Angelo He'll
prin. who. 1t will be remembered. was
the first man to get to the top Of Mont
PClee after the eruption, tells the de-
tailed story of his explorations. Prof
Hcilprin Is one of the foremost geOlo-
gists in the country. His narrative will
be of the most absorbing interest both
to general readers and to scientists,
and his conclusions concerning the real
nature Of the eruptions will probably
be more fully corrobOrated by the de-
tailed Investigations of the French
scientific commission now on the spot
than those of any other early explorer.
! The illustrations for the articles
| drawn by George Narian, who accom-
| panied the author on his second ascent
to the crater. are by far the best yet
published of Pelcc in eruption. One
was drawn less than four feet from the
edge of the top crater, probably the
! first drawing ever published of the in
| terror Of an active volcano.
As Illuminating as 1t Is brief Is Lin
coin Steffens's sketch of John Mitchell
"A Labor Leader of Today" Not in
any sense a discussion of the merits OF

most significant article pertaining to

well written, VI. Dumont's with much
yiyacity and humOr, Mrs. Tsilka's with
simple power and rare reticenCe.
