Get New Outnt.

The famous vicar of Confession, whose
originalities occasionally find their way
into public prints, decided recently he
wanted new cassocks and surplices for
his choir. On a recent Sunday he an
aounced the collection in the church
that morning would be devoted to this
purpose.
II think there must be a little mis-
understanding between u.s." was his
comment at the evening service. Il
did not ask you to give me a surplice,
but the whole of Confession parish choir.
Thirty-two and six, the amount Of your
offerings this morning, will not go far
towards doing that now. | am frank
to own a supplied choir is a luxury
which is not necessary to salvation.

"The great giant never made a greater
sensation" said the old circus man, in

by boat. And moving in this way the
giant did tremendously advertise the

"You see, we couldn't have him crawl
aboard a boat by the gangway. between
decks, and curl himself UP there some
where, below. I'VE had to carry him
where he could be seen by all.
rHe would st6p, up from the wharf to
the steamboats, upper deck, and stay
right there straight through the trip, in
full view from the rivers banks on
either side, o MAI as tall as the steam
boats chimneys. And seen walking OF
standing there as the boat came along.
or sitting there, maybe, in a great arm
chair that we never failed to carry along
for him, he made a sight that everybody
along the river came out to see and
looked at with wonder.
"And when we had come to where we
we're to land, where they could see the
great giant close at hand, why, the peo-
pie there looked at him In W
