Bound by His Reputation.

Holmes discovered that "it is very
serious thing to be a funny man. and
one Of the younger Now England poets
is said to have warlSd a beginner in
literature never to publish humorous
verse if he wished to make and keep
reputation as serious poet.
A story, perhaps apocryphal, which
is told of Mark Twain illustrates the
theory that a humorists reputation dc
bars him from all other kinds of credit.
Mark Twain is a lover of Browning
and reads him aloud with excellent
power Once he read several passages
to a company gathered in the house Of
a friend Among the guests were some
young ladies. One of them laughed
during the reading Afterward she
condoled Wig Mark Twain for the so

An English Dishop's ConfessiOns.

Some Of the English bishops, with all
their dignity, are not above indulging
at times in harmless pleasantly. The
bishop of Norwich. for example, has
been making some interesting confess
siOns at parochial gathering. "If
any ladies here" he said. want les
son in simple cookery-how TO make
napjaciS or cook bacon-let them come
to me. and | will teach them. 1t has
been said of certain king that he was
tit to be king because he had BACKED
his own boots. and. according to that
reasoning, | am more fit to be a bishop
than any one here because | have cob
Died MY own boots and mended my
own hrcechoS" The bishop made these
confessions in the course of lively
speech. in which he maintained that
happiness was an internal joy depend
ing upon internal feeling. Some one
in the hall suggested that income might
have something to do with the matter.
The bishop declared in reply that he
had lived as poor a life as any of his
hearers. When missionary he had

The startling and happy cures wrought by

the Compound, and prescribe It with con-

Psine's Cedery Compound stands un-

and strength. Paine's Celery Compound is
the only medicine that rescues and saves the
despairing victim who is told that he or

experience with Paine's Cedery Compound;
he says ..

Any amount of Postum does not cause a
