following Is one of the anecdotes that
was told:
Edith Is the sIx.year.oid daughter
OF friend OF mine. She is n lively
caild and quite capable of forming
her own opinions and OF sticking to
them. and is the readiest child to pick
up slang and other expressions not
exactly suited for little girls
vocabulary that | have even known.
She has always since her babyhood
been afraid of the dark. and her
mother. In spite OF fine theories to the
contrary. has humored her little girl
and allowed n light In her bedroom.
Recently. however. my friend decided
that Miss Edith was arriving Mt an
age when reason should help her to
overcome her fears.
so, bcirg n good. really pious
mother. she talked 10 Edith and told
that nothing could harm her In tho
dark.
Might came. and bedtime. Edith
was undressed. said her prayers. and
climbed into her little snow-whlte
nest. with the goodnight kiss. her
mother said: Now, dear. just think
that the room is full of angels watch.

Turning out the gas she left the
room. But being a loving, sympa.
thetic mother, she stood for while
outside the door to see how Miss
Edith would stand the ordeal.
After some minutes of intense
stiffness she heard Edith say in a
lew voice:
"Beau-tee-ful white angels all
around!' And then. after a pause:
But 1t beats the old Nick how afraid
| am of those angels!'"

an extreme prohibitionist, and 1t is be-

for by rural clergyman in East Kent.
The primate paid visit to the village
school, and after telling the scholars
that everyone possessed a besetting
sin, astonished his youthful hearers by
continuing, And even archbishops!
II wonder who can guess what the
archbishop's besetting sin is?" asked
his grace. One little lad timidly held
up his hand, and on being invited to
give an answer said. Drunkenness"
What the archbishop thought or said
at this amazing reply is not recorded.

Delaying Charter Count.

Denver. June 5.-The official count
of the vote in Denver on the election
Of charter convention delegates was
commenced by City and County Clerk
Aichele and two justices Of the peace
yesterday morning.
The candidates having majorities
feared an attempt by the City Council
to assume the canvass of the vote and
obtained an injunction from Judge
Mullins.
County Clerk Aichele then began
the canvass of the vote.
Later in the day, Mt the prayer of
candidates on the Republican ticket,
Judge Palmer issued an Injunction
which stopped the count.
Under Judge Palmer's order the
clerk cannot canvass the vote.
Under Judge Mullins order the City
Council may not do so.
The count, therefore, is temporarily
stopped.
