his back there and then for three guineas.
One of his fellow travellers promptly closed
with the offer, subsequently putting the
article up to rattle, for the benefit OF the
same charity, at los. chance Over 500
tickets were sold, and by strange coinct-
dence the shirt was won by Its original
owner.
That the charitable eccentric is not al
ways allowed to effect his purpose is shown
by an action that lately came before the
civil court at Marienburg In West Prussia.
Proud though he was of his long beard.
Prussian, at the instigation of three friends.
agreed to shave 1t off conditionally on their
subscribing 100 marks to charity. He had,
however, reckoned without his wife. who,
Directing to the contemplated sacrlf1ce,
promptly caused him to be served with a
police notice on the ground that, in &C
cordance with Prussian law, she possessed
joint proprietorship in his hirsute adorn-
ment.
Unconventional indeed in charity's cause
was Mrs. Edna Maxwell, who, some while
since on behalf Of the Crittenton Mission,
undertook the role of shoeblack. in which
capacity she made a tour Of the principal
American hotels. Her success was I'M
equivocal, and at Chicago a regular queue
of young men, ready to pay handsomely Tor
having their boots operated on by the boot
blacks dainty hands, defled past the fair
Edna.
Quaint methods were adopted by the
ladies of South Seaville, New Jersey. to pay
off the mortgage on their church. One
opened BARRIERS shop. herself welding the
razor with the lightest' of hands; another
sold pies and cakes Of her own make
through the streets; others went around
seeking employment as wood-cutters; while

Novel Devices That Have Been Utilized
to Raise Money.

From It'll Bits.
The mayor of Woolwich, who was present
the other day at a church bazaar. suddenly
conceived a happy idea for augmenting the
funds. Having remarked that the glove on
his right hand was the one he wore when
his majesty shook hands with him on the
occasion of a recent visit to the HERBERT
Hospital, he expressed his readiness 10
shake hands with all corners at ia. heao.
Eighty-one promptly awaited themselves OF
the offer. and then, after brief rest, MS
worship again went to work at the re-
duced price of 3d. So many then came for
ward that the quickwitted philanthropist
had perforce to desist at last from sheer
exhaustion. 49,.
Equally ingenious and novel was the
method employed by Lady Raglan for rais-
ing funds in aid of the Beckenham cottage
Hospital Dressed in her coronation ropes
and coronet, this lady let herself De al
mired by ali and sundry for the modest sum
of Sd. The 500 tickets issued were soon ex-
hausted and then the public paid at the
door, several pounds being taken. Her
ladyship is said to have shown exemplary
patience during tire trying ordeal, and al
together the unusual show was an I'm
mense success.
Decidedly original was the idea of a

When People Have Said Not Quite
What They Mean.


The worthy. university preacher who an
nounced Hymn No. 1853. From Iceland's
Greasy Mountains" and, after referring in
his sermon to Bon the BAPTIST corrected
himself by saying, mo, no! I mean the
BAPTIST Bon," has had many imitators at
Oxford and elsewhere; although it is only
fair to say that the universities are special
ly favored by them.
1t was. for instance, varsity don who
one Sunday startled his congregation by
giving out. flynn 175. The 175th hymn
Kinquering Congs their Titles Take" and
another Of the learned fraternity who,
preaching a sermon in honor of Queen
Victoria's diamond jubilee, referred to her
majesty in these impressive words, Now,
my brethren you have queer dean.
very queer dean. and a very queer dean
indeed" and to this day there are some
who decline to believe that the preacher
was not having a sly hit at the dean of his
college, with whom he was not on the best
of terms and who was noted for his oddt-
ties.
Many amusing verbal lapses are credited
to the genial and popular head of one Of
the Oxford colleges. 1t was he, so they
say. who once preached from the text,
For now we see through a dark CLASSIFY,
and Transmitted the Loving Shepherd"

sermons On another OCCASION when he
was pressed by friend to stay the night

NO. thank. you! I must return to OXFORD

This gentleman. who enjoys his slips as
much as any one. was lecturing one day
from to 10 on Greek history for men in
their final school: and at IL he gave an
hours lecture to freshmen on the fourth
Gospel. At the conclusion Of the biblical
exposition 1t dawned on him that perhaps
he had got a little mixed, and. by way Of
precaution said: Gentlemen. before you
GO, would you kindly look through your
notes. and wherever I said 'Pericles
1t was not DR.. s.. however, but a friend
of his. learned dean Of an Oxford college,
who once gave severe lecture to lazy
undergraduate. finishing with these crush
ing words: II am sorry to have to speak
so severely to you. but I am credibly In
formed that you have broken many rules
Of the college,: you have been incorrig1bly
lazy: and to crown 1t all you have willfuliy
tasted two worms" OF course, the poor
gentleman meant wasted two terms" and
the delinquent was under no delusion as to
his meaning.
Was 1t not the same dean-or was 1t
some one else-who once kept friend
waiting an unconscionable time for him
outside his house, and then. emerging In
resplendent silk hat, apologtzed thus: 80
sorry to have kept you. The fact Is, have

Brother Wesley Objects to That Form
of Address

Brother Charles Wesley Tolliver is an
aged American citizen Of African descent.
whose advent into this world of sin and
sorrow was as he himself expresses, 80
long befo' de wah' that he has no recol-
lection of 1t. In those days he lived some
where ''on de pike over in old Virginia
and attended a stall for his owner in de
ole Ma-a-sh market, in the same location
where the Center market now stands
Those were the halcyon days for the old
man, when he came to town three times
per week and went back again about noon
after he had disposed of the farm proven
der intrusted to his honest care Some
times when not down with the rheuma-
tism, as he most always Is, the old gem
tleman comes to market now with his
daughter, who is at least sixty years of
age and is the proprietress of curbstone
equipment, where she retails stock of
YARDS" field flowers, berries in season,
eggs, occasionally chickens, ETC.
Though Brother" Charles Wesley finds
II matter Of extreme difficulty to omit
saying "Mornin', marse," when a prospect
I've purchaser appears before him or
"Thanky, narse," when deal is completed
and the cash handed over to him. he yet
draws the line at one thing that is to him
a Renaissance of his former station as a
bondman. He has positive antipathy to
being addressed as uncle" An evidence
of this repugnance happ N d last Saturday
morning when a young gentleman walked
up to the curbstone counter and inquired
How are you selling eggs today, uncle?"
'Aigs, sub. is 16 cents dozen. and dem
aigs is fresh. too. but 1 amt yo' uncle
suh. no, indeedy. Yo amt any one of my
neffers.' said the old merchant.
Mister. then" said the prospective D r
chaser, n no way offended
No, sub, no mister neither" said the
old man. Now, If yer say brother yer
puneckly correck, cos I'm brother to all
