Five Angels on . Needle Point.
It is related Of the late DR.. Robert
son that ON one occasion he was In
the company Of some theological stu.
dents. They, fresh from the study Of
church history, were laughing together
over the old scholastic question. How
many angels are supported on the
point Of q needle7 They were surpris-
ed when DR.. Robertson turned to them
and said, "Well. how many do you
thinkr' As no one answered he went
on, with decision, swell, I'll tell you
FIVE" And he justified his answer with
the following story:
One very stormy night he was com.
ing home late and noticed light In the
window Of a room where he knew q
poor woman lived whose husband was
at sea. He wondered what kept her up
90 late and went to see. He found her
hard at work sewing by her lamp.
while her five rosy children were sound
asleep beside her. There" said DR..
Robertson. was a needle supporting

"A good pocket compass will last o

Daohelors Thought Disgusting.
"Disgusting," said one old bachelor

isn't IT." said the other old bachelor
to the one.
Three women had come into the
street car at different intervals with
babies Of different intervals. The first
baby was lusty child with nerve test
ing lungs. The second was about
year old, and the mother, just little
bit embarrassed at the bachelors
glares, finally gained courage to take
bottle from a grip and plug up baby's
mouth with q rubber neck. The third
baby was the newest Of them all and
entered the car mere white bundle IN
the arms of dignified matron hardly
out Of short skirts.
Beginning to unwrap the bundle,
which had been somewhat disarranged
IN the haste to embark, the proud
mother first unfolded cunning pair of
blue worsted bottles that might fit
grumpy old bachelors thumb. Then,
feeling the eyes Of the world upon her,
she showed baby's two fat legs, which
were as pink as her own ears. Then
the cunning sight was solemnly shut
from all eyes by procession of gowns
all Of white, laced, tucked, embroidered
and plain. the fat legs kicking vigor-
ously, and baby's iaces hid them from
sight.
Then the little mother sat the bundle
upright and threw a soft cloak from
the other end, disclosing a round face,
q pair Of blue eyes wide open in amaze
ment and as pretty and baldheaded
baby from end to end as ever made
bachelor angry at his own lost oppor'
tunities. Then the three mothers smil-
ed at each others baby.
"Disgusting," said the bachelors.
Then they went out on the platform,
and one took a chew Of tobacco and
the other lighted the butt Of malodor-
GUS dead cigar he had been carrying
