 EsBut the scheme didn't go, and Mark lgaS checked down with the rest of us. However. he was unwilling to let the matter drop, and at recess several of As boys got together, and Mark took khe same problem that the schoolmas- Fer had given us and changed the fig Nres. We then filed up to the teacher And told him we had little problem sn mental arithmetic that we wished be would solve, and Mark read his re- Assed problem. The teacher looked wise, adjusted his glasses and asked to fsea the paper on which the example
 sas written.
 But that isn't mental a14thmetfc.' protested Mark.
 "So he read it again, and the master Hsured long and hard, but could not Est the answer and sharply ordered us h1 out of the schoolroom.

 On the evening in Cleveland that line made q tremendous hit. It was hard to tell whether Tom Johnson was laughing harder at the hit at his dear est foe or whether Senator Hanna him. self was most vociferously amused. The rest of the audience of course looked at the senator and shrieked with laughter.
 Presently the point came where Stone advances again to the footlights and announces, Il will now make a speech"
 Some looked straight at Tom John. son as he read that line. Then he add ed, "But where is my tent?" Where upon Montgomery, his partner in crime, brought him a much torn and tattered umbrella And at this allu- sion to Mayor Johnson's disastrous circus gubernator1al campaign all Cleveland rose and laughed again.
 At the close of the act Senator Han. fna got up and made his way behind lthe scenes to see Stone and Montgom. cry in their dressing room, The door fwas thrown open, and he walked in ito come face to face with Mayor Tom Johnson, who had preceded him.
 For some months the senator and the mayor had wasted no breath in conversing with each other, and for a moment the situation was tense But Hred Stone rose to the emergency.
 "Senator Hanna, Mayor Johnson" he said, with bow. You ought to know each other, gentlemen
 Whereupon both laughed and sat down on tops of adjoining trunks And before they left they had pledged each other in a glass of milk and sell tegs apiece.
 Something ever year ago Senate Hanna was sojourniDg for q brief pe. Riod in little town of northern Geor. gia, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. He took stroll on a Sunday morning and dropped into one of the rear seats in a small colored church, where he heard 8 u1OSt pow SFLul sermon on C02clEY aH apphed to the raising of money to pay the preachers salary.
 When the hat came around the sena. tor dropped twenty dollar greenback on top of the small pile of eoppers. The eyes of the deacon bulged, and when he went back to the puluit there was an excited conversation with the min lister. Then another brother was called up, and the three spent some time in whispered conversation.
 Then the man who had passed tho hat came back to Hanna and, leaning over, said in whisper, Say, boss, when you goin' to git out of dis town?''
 T get out tomorrow. But why?''
 swell" said the deacon in still low. ter whisper, i've uns have decided to pass her if youse agrees to keep s&ill Dere ain't a man in dis tswn can tell her from good one."
