An exciting lovers quarrel was once
brought about by the young woman's
accidental reading OF a telegram
wherein the unfortunate lover had
spoken Of his new yacht in terms of
endearment, emitting to mention the
fact that Geraldine was only boat.

asked he, at length, of the old Swiss
who had, during these stormy times,
been 80 long his faithful attendant.
What was the last quotation that you
heard?"
"Your honor, there are no quota

lions Of the last issue, 100000 in all,
were swept away at breath at $4,000

Swiss. "'Tis said that of this issue the

He grimly turned again to his study
of the crowds which swarmed among
the pavilions before his window. Out

is one that Dean Hole, the witty d.

who went to Yorkshire parish where
the parishioners bred horses and, in
addition, frequently raced them.
This innocent curate was asked to

for Miriam Hawkins. So, for three
