WANTED THE FULL PRICE.-Secretary
Pierce, dressed in white, was sur
rounded by newspaper correspondents,
all smiling, for the genial secretary
was lodging a question by telling a
story. says the Chicago Chronicle.
80 this old woman" said Secretary
Pierce announced to all the world
that she would turn Baptist. She had
heard, you see. that a young Baptist
minister had offered a roast of beef
and fall wrap to every new convert
he got.
Her own pastor heard somehow,
that 1t was not SO much religious con-
viction as it was the desire for the
beef and the wrap that was leading
the old lady to change her faith, and,
accordingly, he sought her out.
"'Hannah,' he said, sternly, you are
going over to the Baptists, l hear?'
"'Yes sir, that is correct" said the
old woman,
"Hannah,' exclaimed the minister,
shaking his forefinger at her would
you sell your soul for roast of beef?"
"She looked up anXious!y.
"'No.' she answered; not without

MIsTREATED THE ANIMALs.-A Kan
sas City man who had followed stock
quotations, football scores and races
from sheets more closely than he had
religious and literary matters, recently,
was persuaded by his wife to read
aloud each evening from the Old Tes-
lament to improve the knowledge of
both on Biblical matters. The man be-
came interested in the story of the
Scriptures and read aloud several
evenings with great gusto and pleas
ure. One night as he was swinging
along he read. And they horsewhip-
ped the beast"
Hold on" exclaimed his wife.
What was that?"
"They horsewhipped the beast" he
repeated, and continued reading. His
wife got up from her sewing crossed
the room, looked over his shoulder and
read, "They worshipped the beasts"
There" she said, 81 knew the word
horsewhipped was not in the Bible.
He, he!"
The man closed the Bible with a
snap, clasped the snap, and that con-
cluded the reading for all time,

JOHN AN UNLUcKY ROYAL NAME
Many Monarchs Bearing It Met With
Misfortune.

It is strange how good or bad for
tune seems to attend certain names,
ard this Is the more marked In the
persons Of royalty, on account or thelr
conspicuous position, than in the case
of the ordinary individual. Among
sovereigns it is doubtful which must
be considered the most ualucky name,
but it is probable that John is the
name of i'll omen.
For instance, John of England has
always been branded as an Infamous
monarch, a character which he hardly
deserved; still, it was his luck. John
of France was captured by the Black
Prince, who, by the way, was not the
hero we have been taught to consider
him, but a very unscrupulous rufnan.
John Ba,iol of Scotland has been de-
spised by his fellow countrymen be-
cause he pandered too much to the
English.
Robert Ill of Scotland changed his
name from John, but the Ill luck OF
the name cung to him. During his
lifetime he was worried to the verge
of despair by his brother the Duke OF
Albany. He was himself a cripple,
his eldest sor was starved to death In
prison, and his youngest, when on
voyage to France, was captured by the
English. Robert III. died of a broken
heart.
John |. of Bohemia was blind; John
l., Pope, was imprisoned by Alaric'
King of the Goths. and Pope John x.
was driven from Rome by Guy, Duke
of Tuscany. John XII, Pope, was sup
posed to have been poisoned by his
brother Alberto, who kept him pris-
oner in the Lateran. John XIV. also
died in prison from poison or starVa-
ton. John XIV ascended the papal
throne after the murder Of Boniface,
and was forced to flee to Tuscany, where
he died Of fever. Nor was John XVI.
more fortunate. for he was dubbed the
"Anti-Pope," and after varied career,
which lasted only eleven months, he
was brutally tortured and then con-
signed to a dungeon, whence he never
emerged alive.
John 1. of Constantinople was pois-
oned: John II. was killed while boar
hunting; and John III. was dethroned,
his eyes were put out, and he was
cast into prison, where he died. John
I. of CASTLE was killed by fall from
his horse. This is only a portion OF
the long list of unlucky Johns, but 1t
will serve to show that there is good
reason for claiming that a monarch
should avoid the name, if he possibly
can.

Humorous department.
A Famous 8lunderer.


Monsieur Calino, the popular French
simpleton, who performs in the hui
morous literature of France much tfe
same function that the traditional
Paddy" does in English literature,
has been. made the subject of a grave
study in which his innocent stupidi-
ties are carefully analyzed. He is
nothing more nor less than a conven-
lent personification of a type of the
harmless blunderer and complacent
lack-wit found in all ages and coun-
tries. In France his sayings reflect,
however, something Of the pictur-
esqueness which is characteristic of
the nation.
Calino's blunderings, it seems, be-
gan at an early age. He had not craft
enough to tell lie that would hold
water for a moment. One day at
school he got into a fight with a COM
panion and came home with a cash on
his forehead.
How did you get that cut?" asked
his father.
What cut, papa?"
why, that great cash on your fore
head"
81 bit myself there, papa"
BIT yourself! Why, you couldn't
bite yourself on your forehead"
II got up on a chair to do 1t papa!
Later in life Calino delivered him
self of the following bit of wisdom:
"As for me, / don't care so much for
the sun as l do for the moon. You
see, the sun only comes after 1t gets
daylight, when we could see just as
we'll without It; but the moons some
use-it shines at night"
He had a magpie of which he was
very fond. The magpie, by the way,
Is reputed to live 100 years. One
day Mrs. Calino called to her husband:
Look out for the magpie-there's
the cat!"
Never mind the cat" answered CAL
ino. Don't you know that a magpie
lives a loo years?"
