"And The Cock Wept''

The late Bishop Wilmer, Of Louisi-
ana used to tell the following on him
self:
Shortly after his ordination he was
called upon to preach before a large and
|critical audience. where he especially
desired to make favorable impression.
Besides being a young man at the
time, he was Of a very diffident and
nervous temperament. and as the day
approached his anxiety TO acquit him
self with credit affected him seriously.
He selected his text, however, prepared
his sermon. and awaited the day with
mingled feelings Of dismay and plea
sure At last the eventful moment ar
rived. He mounted the pulpit, his
knees shaking with nervousness. After
few preliminary gulps he startled his
audience with the following extraor-
binary text:
J And the cock wept and Peter went
out and crew bitterly"

Artist couIa Paint Dead Man

David Col. the famous genre painter,
one day was asked by a peasant to
paint a portrait OF his father. The
young artist said that he would be de-
lighted and inquired when the father
would be able to give him a sitting
The peasant replied
"Oh. he is dead!"
"How would you have me paint his
portrait?" replied the artist
Look here. sir" said the peasant,
"this picture on the easel-whom does
IL represent?"
"St- Anthony"
"You are sure it IS St. Anthony"
"Yes."
did he come here to sit?"
"Of course not"
"Then. you see, you are quite able 70
make a dead mans portrait" Col
yielded and after making inquiries con-
corning the old man set about painting
the portrait. The peasant, seeing it foT
the first time. fell on his knees and
cried bitterly.
why do you cry?" asked th'
painter.
Because my father has grown sc
ugly. y."-Brooklyn Eagle.

A Careful ola Lady.

An old lady applied at a registry Of
fee for n maid.
Il want little girl, between eight
cen and twenty-five years Of age, who
is fond of mushrooms"
Fond Of mushroomsT inquired the
agent. "That is something / never
inquire about from my applicants. l
don't understand"
"Well, am very fond OF mushrooms
myself, and there are so many mis-
takes made The idea came to me sew
eral years ago, and it was a dispensa-
ton of Providence that it did or
should have been killed. / make my
maid eat a portion Of all mushrooms
brought to my house before any are
served to me. l always require it,"
replied the old lady. Il have lost two
excellent maids from toadstools dur
ing the last five years. and, Of course,
| could not think OF taking the risk Of
eating mushrooms unless l had a maid
to test them. London Globe.

The printing presses are now Dusy

Ordinarily there is an amount OF

credit TO Richelieu or Talleyrand. The
candidate urges that he has no per-

politics and create an atmosphere OF
sweetness and light He would with
draw in an instant could another Moses
be found. but his sense Of duty has
overcome his modesty, and he is will

He has not Thought OF the Office at
the end; not hel It may be that he will
be called upon to perform its unpleas-
ant duties and to pocket a large sti-
pend. but that is a sordid and an un-
pleasant matter to be considered later.
The party must be saved, and the
average candidate alone can do it
With the announcement OF his candi-

forgets his principles, the venal votei
ceases to think OF bribes and all follow
the modern Cincinnatus as hedrops hi
plowlines. leaves the oxen TO browse
and turns his attention to saving thi
modern Rome.

BASEBALL MADNESS

Wilmington has been the center OF
baseball activity this summer. and
thousands Of people almost daily have
journeyed to the parks TO wl.ness the
sport and shout for their favorite
teams. This on the whole has been n
very innocent way Of passing many a
tedious hour. and It has offered whole
some relaxation from the tedium Of
routine work in offices and factories
during the summer months. Amuse-
ments are as useful as real labor. since
they help to make life tolerable by TAX
ing the mind away from the eternal
grind Of business.
But It is only fair to state by way of
warning that there are tendencies AZ
the present time. which If not checked
will bring the game into disrepute and
make future baseball in this city less
popular than at present There was a
game in Philadelphia the other day be-
tween a club from this city and a rival
West Chester team. which is enough
of its kind for many years. Under all
the circumstances the enthusiasm
which was half madness may be ex-
cused. but one or two repetitions would
set the seal OF disapproval on the whole
Of the baseball world. Thousands left
their work to journey to Philadelphia
TO witness the game; thousands Of dol
lars were stal1ed by those who could
not afford TO lose. and who won from
those no better circumstanced. There
we're incipient riots, and the game wa.
played for a stake in the form OF for
foit and the gate receipts. Everybod,
excused it. and hoped that the baseball
world would return to sanity. but ther,
are evidences that there has been {
general domorilization which is regret

AT a recent contest men stood up il

and had gone SO far as to recline on
his busom while promisin' him his sup
pert. l told Willard about Mister Ad-
dicks wishes in the matter, and he
said to tell Mister Addicks to read
that lite peece l writ in a magazine
about him. and let that be his anser. l
don't like all this quarrelin'. Lauray,
and hit pears to me that us gentlemen
who is after what IS in hit should
stand together.
Hit we're certinly a CRATE cOnven-
shun. and they was some feechers that
would have done a Union Republican
proud. HIT was real
touchin' to heer that preacher prayin'
for Willim Jennins Bryne. Pore feller
he needs hit. and l couldnthelp thinkin'
that Mister Addicks is gettin in p'ase
where the saim kind of prayers for him
will be appropriate. Hit made the
teers run down my cheeks to think OF
some preacher sayin': BLESS thy SER
want, John Edward O'Sullivan AddiclSs. "

to do hit.
