WIT AND WISDOM

An American couple had exhausted
the sights Of the continent in thirty
days" and We're on their way home
with devout thankfulness. A fellow.
passenger in discussing the sights Of
the Old World with them mentioned
Rome. The husband could not re-
member whether they had visited
Rome or not. He appealed to his
wife: "Clara," he said, did we take
in Rome or didn't we?" j,
Rome? Rome?' responded that
lady in deep thought. "why, yes
We were there. Don't you remem-
Der? That's the place where bought
your socks"
Husband-My dear, 1 want 10 ask
YOU one favor before you 20 off on
that long visit
Wife-A thousand, my love. What
is it?
Husband-Don't try to put the house
in order before you leave.
Wife-It isn't hard work.
Husband-Perhaps not, but think
of the expense of telegraphing to you
everytime want anything.
"Why is it," asked the person in
search of information, chat hatchet
is so often used as symbol of truth?
Has it any other origin than the
George Washington story?"
ooh, yes" replied the cynical per-N
son. "a Ratchet is suggestive Of truth
because you are likely to do a great
deal of mischief with it unless YOU
handle it with care.''

some new recital of abuse, torture and

a soldier in camp to his mother in this
city:

twenty armed Ikaffirs attacked their
lager. They fed but the Kafflrs cried
to them that they had no evil de-
signs, upon which the three men came
back-and put down their arms beside
the wagon. No sooner had they done
so than the Kaffirs shot them dead.
Then they mutilated the bodies by cut.

Johns Catholic Church, at Hamilton,
Sunday morning Feb. 2, just as the
