Comparison.
President Hadley of Yale. gave
most instructive little story at a col
lege dinner one night. when only
few of his brother educators were
present. The story. as told by one
OF them. ran in this way:
We've been talking about the
trusts and their way of playing with
the small merchants. to finally COM
pletely demolish them.sa'It puts me in
mind of two pets of mine | once had
cat, beautiful animal, of which
was very fond. and who was the
proud possessor of long and luxu-
RANT tail. A friend of mine who was
living in Florida sent me tiny alliga-
tor | Immediately studied all the lit
erature on the proper care of sauri-
ans, and the gator grew rat and pros
porous. He and the cat turned out to
be great friends, and the Queerly as
sorted couple frolicked together to
my great amusement and that of the
Yale students Finally, on returning
from lecture room one day, found
three or four patches of fur and the
long tail. The gator had assimilated
the cat. So with the trusts and their
small competitors"

ClericaI-Looking Stranger.
A young man who is now a model

reckless gayety before his marriage,
about six years ago. On one occasion
he hit on the idea Of giving midnight
supper for seventy-fve, to be made up
of a dozen OF his intimate friends and
six friends OF each. The dozen were
told to bring whomeyer they pleased,
without regard for social standing,
personal character or anything Of
the sort When all were seated,
the host Thought it rare joke
to ask blessing, and east about the
table for somebody to pronounce the
words. A clerieal-looking stranger i'm
pressed him as a proper man and he
made known his wish The stranger
arose, and said:
From the direction of your glance,
sir l think you We're speaking to me;
but I'm SO deaf | couldn't hear a
damned word you said. d."-Philadelphi
