a Cincinnati man was describing the
gunner IN London that admitted Joseph
II. Choate to the society of the Old
Benchers of the Inner Temple
Mr. Choate was in his best mood" he
said. With epigrams, witticisms and
anecdotes he kept the table in a con-
tinuouS roar.

seemed to be buried in London. Nothing
was heard of him for several years.
He had been a gay, conviviai blade,
and in the little home village he was
missed. There was not a poacher or q
roysterer within ten miles that hadn't a
soft spot for Denis in his heart
Word one day passed about that up
at the castle news had been received of
Denis. The village at once became ex-
cited, and a deputation of a half dozen
or so was soon on it's way to see the old
lord.

true. we've gotten news o. yer son, Mr..
Denis?'
Aye, true enough. News at last,
boys said his Iordship.

next question.

lord answered proudly.
