Why the Preacher Objected.

A story Of an eccentric Wesleyan
minister is too good for the "erasure
Of oblivion" One Sunday he caused
some surprise by declaring that he
did not ip the least object to people
sleeping while he was preaching.
A few minutes later he and his
hearers were disturbed by the loui
snoring of man just below the pull
pit. "Give him tap on the head"
said the minister. This was done, in
effectually. "Givc him another"
came the order again. Still the man
slumbsred. But at length, by dint
of much tapping and shaking, he was
recalled into abashed consciousness.
"You are making q wretohed nuise, -
roared the minister, leaning over the
pulpit edge. II don't mind you
sleeping, but you are preventing other
people from sleepingI"-London Tele-
g;aph.

How long does it take you to cure

"Three weeks" said the specialist.
"And how long would it take me to

asked tie alarmed patient.
"Twenty-one days." said the special
ist.
And it wasn't unit! tho patient vas

This is an unromautic view t. taxi

founded on familiarity, congcniality
and acquaintance can ever know.
More than that, IN romanccs the abil-
ity to lose your heart at moment
notice has ever been esteemed the
crowning talent Of the perfect lover,
but in real life there is no such thing
as love at first sight.
At best it is only an attraction Of
the senses, quickly come and as quick

A Smooth Article.

A countryman whose general ap-
pearance branded him Of the wayback
type, stepped into State street hotel
at 9.l5 o'clock Saturday morning. and
going up to the proprietor, who was at
the desk, asked if . man named Char
ley Mccarthy boarded there.
The hotel keeper scanned the list of
regular boarders and then replied in
the negative.
That 8 funny remarked the coun-
tryman, a half-frightened expression
coming into his face, "the man I'm
talking about told me he had boarded
here for years"
Il guess he was 'stringing' you" re-
marked the proprietor, "for 1 know
any one who has boarded here for any
length Of time
The stranger then told the following
story:

met this fellow, who said he was out
buying cattle for the Hartford mar
kets. He had bought quite lot and
wanted to buy two or three more and
he wanted to borrow 500. He had
al honest face and l let him have the
money, He promised to meet me here
at 10 o clock"
We'll, | guess you had better give
up hopes of seeing Mccarthy. In all
probability he was Il cook" SAID the
hotel ,tlan tl.,an.
Then an argument ensued, the
stranger reiterating his ability to read
an honest face, and the hotel man in
sis,ing on the probability of McCar.
thy being a crook. The upshot Of it
all was that bet of 500 was made
on the appearance of Mccarthy.
The money was staked at about 8. sc
o'clock, and two minutes before the
hour man rushed in, greeted the
countryman cordially, and handed hin
800, thanking him for the loan.
"Well," said the countryman, 81

The hotel man realized that he hat
been trapped, but he handed the moa

because they like the taste
