There was once an old English wo-
man named Bethia Rummy, who at
tended service every Sunday morning
at ST. Elzevir, distant some two miles
from her cottage, on hillside in Der
byshire. AS regular in her provision
for temporal wants as she was to her
attendance to spiritual necessities, her
custom was to place piece of bacon
in a pot near the fire to be cooked
against her return. Then, with her
big prayerbook wrapped in a snowy
handkerchief, Bethia trudged off to
st. Elzevir's. One Sunday, however,
she went late, and flustered to her
usual place, just in front Of the read
ing desk, and, to her wears aston
ishment, remarked as she unfolded
the snowy handkerchief: "Lawk a
daisy ME! If | haven't billed the pray
erbook and brought the bacon to
churchr
Squire j. R. Campbell left his legal
duties Thursday evening long enough
to show a caller the way out of his
Office. The man had a case in Justice
Campbel's court, which was dismiss
ed at his costs. 1t is said that he has
never paid the costs aforesaid. Ac-
cording to the story of Squire Camp
bell the fellow called at his Office on
Thursday evening and asked permis-
sion to put up his card. 1t was re-
fused and the chap referred sneeringly
to Justice Campbells membership in
church. He was ordered out of the
Office, but failed to go, and Squire
Campbell took him by the arm and
put him out.
IN have you arrested for assault
and battery" are the words which the
caller is alleged to have uttered as he
walked down the hallway in the Ar
cade.

to the delivery window, writes a Ra-
VIENNA correspondent.
"Why, | gdess can," pleasantly re-
sponded the official. How many
dimes would you like for fifty cents,
my little MANI"
"Oh, ! don't know" answered the
business miniature, with just the sus-
picion of embarrassment
How many do you think?" persist
ed Mr., Oakley.
"Why--why--I--I guess-I don't

is't you call 'em?--no, it's twenty five!'
and he looked up triumphantly
"Well. suppose you take these"
suggested the official as he handed the
little fellow five coins Of the denomin-
alton asked for.
Instantly the brown hand closed over
the change, and with equal quickness
the small financier told off the pieces
''one--two--t three = four - five - that 3
right!' and pocketed them.
"But how do you know it's right?'
asked gentleman bystander.
"Oh, because" he answered, and
trotted off with the air of a money
king.
