Choosing a Minister.

The parish kirk of Driechton had
been rather unfortunate in its minis
tiers, two of them having gone off in
decline within a twelvemonth of their
appointment, and now, after hearing
a number of candidates for the va
cancy, the members were looking for
ward with keen interest to the meet
ing at which the election of the new
minister was to take place, says the
Scottish American.
''Weel, Marget," asked one female
parishioner of another as they fore
gathered on the road one day, "wh;s
are you gaun to vote for?"
I'm just thinkin' I'll vote for none
o them. I'm no. mucl>le O a judge.

gets sagacious reply.
''Toots, woman, if that's the way
OF, vote wi me-"

I think has the soundest lungs an III

A good woman was dying; woman
who had been a true wife and a low
ing mother; woman with but one
weakness-a love for gossip.
Although her time on earth was
short, she was critically watching
the attending physician and the
nurse, as they talked in subdued
whispers of the result which their
united skill had been powerless to
avert.
In response to the summons of the
dying woman her husband ap-
preached her and bent low to catch
the words which he expected to be
words of love. Again she turned her
eyes, from which the light was fast
fading, upon the doctor and the
nurse, as she said family: ''Do you
suppose they are engaged?"
These words were her last.-N. Y.

Our Lucid Lanruace.

A Frenchman recently propounded
through the columns of the Liverpool
Daily Post a problem which may not
be without interest to Americans.
81 am in Liverpool since a month"
writes the French gentleman, "and

Didn't Specialize Too Much.

Youth is ambitious, but the average
college professor, though not unduly
cynical, has seen too much of the
irony of life to keep from satirizing
on the fact occasionally. A professor
in a well-known law school the other
day was warning his class in con
tracts against too much ''specializa-
tion.'' 81 once had a student" he
said, 50 who told me just after he was
graduated that he intended to devote
his attention almost exclusively to
constitutional law. Last June he
came back to commencement. 1t was
eight years after he had taken his de-
gree. asked him how he was getting
along. Fairly WELL he replied. j

campus. For while he listened to
them dreamily, then Il occurred to
him that it might be. Interesting to
see what an sup-to-date college ball
was like so he rose and sauntered'
towards the gymnasium.
As he emerged from-the maple
shadow he. found the combination
of music and moonlight so beguiling
that he was in no hurry to venture
farther, so he seated himself upon
the steps of the chapel. which adj
joined the gymnasium, directly be-
meath the symmetrical finger of the
spire.
To the north he could mark the
spasmodic twinkling of the electric
towers of Illica. and there, in the
vague purple distance to the south
east, lay the Merton farm.
His face was set in this direction
when an unusually lively air from
the orchestra stirred him from his
reverie With something like a sigh
he turned towards the gymnasium,
and was soon climbing. to the third
floor. AS he wheeled about to sur
vey the room, on reaching the top
stair, gay spectacle met his eye.
Great streamers of old gold and blue
the college colOrs-were festooned
from beam to beam above the whirl-
ing dancers, and at intervals flags
and trophies captured at intercol-
legiate meets were suspended. There
was general futter of gauzy fabrics
and blending of talk and laughter
that ever and anon surged above 4
dip in the music.

JUDICIAL DIGNITY.
Was Maintained In This Instance At
Cost to the Court of the
Prisoner.

A certain squire of the city, who betray>
his patriotism by presiding in small of.
fee painted red, white and blue, had a
case before him the other day which at
tracted an unusual crowd to the temple of
justice. A young fellow was up before him,
relates the Pittsburg Dispatch, on charge
of stealing brass, and his friends were out
in full force to see that he got a fair
show.
Before the case opened the noise and
confusion became so great that his honor
declared that the next man to indulge in
any unusual outbreak would be elected
from the room. He had hardly ceased
speaking when a young man shouted, at
the same time waving his hat above his
head:
"Hooray fur Squire Hooligan!"
"Put him out" roared the court, and in
another instant the young man found him.
self being rushed to the door. Order hav-
ing been restored once more, his honor or
dered that the prisoner be brought before
the bar for trial. The court officer hur-
riedly glanced about through the crowd
and then great light suddenly fell upon
him.
Cant do it your honor" he replied.

A Lesson In PoIiteness.
The Verdant City Fellow Taught
Some Manners By Farmer.
Indianapolis Sentinel:

1IIuldIlapoIiS CoIltlNcl
Farmer Burlington was Jogging
along homeward behind his old
gray mare after day of pedling
garden truck" among the summer
cottagers, when he overlook young
man in sea blue shirtwaist,
purple checked golf trousers and
red shoes, who was smoking a
cigarette.
"Hallo!" he cried loudly. Say,
uncle, can you give fellow lift
to Harbor Breeze?"
Without waiting for assent he
jumped into the wagon, and took
seat alongside the farmer. might
as well ride with you as walk" he
said: "these country roads of yours
are horrible. Why don't you wake
up in this section and get decent
roads, heh? Makes me wish ! was
back in the city. Ever been there,
old chap? Have cigarette?" The
farmer looked it him little sharp
,ly. "You area real city MANI" he
asked.
The young "city boarder," who
united the fascinating grace of
floor walker with the manners of a
Washington park barker, but whom
the COWS were still missing in his
native village, said he guessed he
was, all right, all right, and the
farmer lapsed into silence and
touched up the old gray mare. The
old man was said to be nigh" and
"close" in most matters, but he was
ever ready to give foot passengers
''lift;;" he rather liked, however, to
be asked for the favor a little
politely.
After two or three miles had been
traversed the youth in the sea blue
shirtwaist stopped relating the
charms of Broadway to remark:
"Seems more of a distance to
Harbor Breeze than had thought"
ats quite a ways said the
farmer.
Another half hour passed and The
city youth asked:
~ say, old Turnips, how far is it
TO this blamed Harbor Breeze, any
way?"
"Wall-l," responded the farmer,
in his slowest drawl, excepting on
this way we're goin' naow I'd say
twas a matter of about 5000 miles
or so, clean around the world; but
eff you want you could jump aout
of this wagon and hoof it back the
road. 1t amt much-no, not much,
/ guess-above ten miles"
And, speechless, Blue Shirtwaist
got out and hoofed it.
II calc'late,.' said the farmer to
"mother" later. 81 calc'late his
way of talking to the next man he
meets will be some different"

THE LITTLE TELLER.

Gonzales Inquirer:
(Here is a poeticai gem. Pity It's
that in many households there is
not just such a little Teller, with a
whistle-blowing dull care away
Jest little Teller
With twinkle in his eye,
And heart beneath his jacket,
Bigger'n an apple pie!
And he had way. of talkin'
Which, while it want petite;
Was jes' so sweet an simple
That it made the world look bright
Jest a little TELLER,
But he had a laugh, by iing,
That nigh'd make winter day
As sunny as the spring;
And a whistle which he whistled
Every minute of the day
A-whistlin it away
Then whistlin' it away.
I Jest q little teller,
And his face was homely, too,
But, oh. his heart was lovely
As lily bathed in dew
And ies' cause he's a-living
/ There's more sun on the sod,
And life is meanin' more to me,
1 And earth seems nearer God
