Carried Millions on His Back.

When Baron Rothschild was paying
visit to New York reception was
given him in certain great house.
The affair was in charge of Brown,
the famous old sexton of Grace
church. Another reception was being
held the same evening in house al
most Immediately opposite, which
was also in charge of the sexton. The
baron wished to attend the second
affair, but the street was full of mud,
the night was disagreeable and no
carriage was at the curbstone. He
could not walk across without soiling
his boots and evening clothes, and
for the moment he was in predica-
ment as to what he should do. But
he was soon relieved of this dilemma.
'I'n carry you across myself" said
Brown jovially; "now, mount my
shoulders" and grasping him as if he
had been child he carried the noble
man across on his back.-Ladies'

Too Early.

One raw February morning an in
structor in the University of Michi,
gan was calling the roll of an eight
o'clock class in English.
"Mr. Robbins" said he.
There was no answer.
'Mr. Robbins" in a slightly louder
voice.
Still no reply.
"Ah," said the instructor. with a
quiet smile, "come to think of it, it
is rather early for robins
This is Current Literature's anec-
dote of the late Moses Colt Tyler, who
later became professor of history at
Cornell, and it shows him in the

consider an instructors provoca-
tons to morning dullness.

A Polite Apology,

Z In a Scotch town, which we will call
Perth, though that is not it's name.
there dwelt dealer in tartan wares
whom we will call, also fictitiously.
Campbell. His charges were on SO
heroic q scale that he acquired the
nickname of ''the Highland robber."
A simple girl who wanted plaid sent
her order to the great shop at Perth
and addressed the letter thus: "Mr.
Campbell. The Highland Robber,'
Perth" The natural reply was law
yer's letter threatening an action and
demanding an apology which should
be as public as the insult. The inno-
cent maiden answered thus: AIr.
Campbell, am extremely sorry to
have caused you any annoyance, which
was far from my intention. Having
never heard you called anything ex-
cept the Highland robber,' 1 thought
it was the sign of your shop. You are
welcome to make any use of this letter
that you please. "-Manchester Guard.

Suddenly one of them announced in

he pointed to a serious blunder in a

on the instant. AS matter of fact,
it was not his work at all, but Dinah's,
as he very well knew. II will go to-

He came back alone that evening to
finish the work he was engaged up

pressed his lips lingeringly to the

touched.
